2520, Destruction battleship
However, it was too late to find out that it was shipped from Taris. Thousands of Great Whale-class transport ship have been sent out, and nearly 300 million Rakghoul have been sent out.
Kingdom of Dawn's route planning was very sophisticated. They did not set off directly from Taris, but made a large circle and spread out to other places in Northeastern Territory before heading to their respective destinations.
The northeastern territory of the Galactic Empire is actually very chaotic, because it was originally the core area of the former Confederation of Independent Systems, and it was the most violent place for separatism in the entire galaxy. Now, as the Galactic Empire continues to lose ground on the front lines, those former core planets of separatism are also in turmoil.
The fact that these planets use the banner of liberalism but practice military separatism has made this place a mess.
So Galactic Empire treats this place the same way Kingdom of Dawn treats Southern Territory, that is, it doesn't matter who you are. But this also led to the weakness of Northeastern Territory's defense, which gave those transport planes transporting Rakghoul an opportunity.
Now Galactic Empire was unexpectedly overwhelmed by countless Rakghoul, and only then did Kingdom of Dawn High Command begin to formulate the next plan.
However, if Northern Territory and the local front directly launch an attack now, the time is not ripe. Many newly built warships still need further running-in and training. Under such circumstances, it is not advisable to actively attack the Galactic Empire with superior forces.
So after discussion, Kingdom of Dawn High Command decided that the main force of the navy would not take action, but at Eastern Outer Rim, General Grievous would launch an attack.
Target——Galactic Empire's Twelfth Army!
General Grievous's legion is actually supported by Hutt Cartel. Its battleships mainly come from the remaining fleet of the previous Confederacy of Independent Systems, as well as the "EVE" Mаtar battleship built by Hutt Cartel.
Limited by Hutt Space's limited industrial production capacity, the fleet in General Grievous's hands is not large, and capital ships are very rare. Many of the warships brought out from the remnants of Confederacy of Independent Systems are also backward warships. Kohl-class Battlecruiser is very good, and you can even see the destroyers Generous-class frigate and Defiant-class.
However, due to the excellent maneuverability of Mаtar's warships, under the leadership of General Grievous, Eastern Territory continued to launch guerrilla warfare and harassed Galactic Empire's borders, which also caused Galactic Empire a headache.
This kind of guerrilla warfare is actually what General Grievous is best at. Before he was transformed into a cyborg, he had already led Caladanian and Yamrii in decades of guerrilla warfare, and finally defeated the latter.
And now, General Grievous also got a big killer - Destruction battleship (Devastation)!
Destruction battleship is one of the three Conqueror-class battleship built during Count Dooku's lifetime.
Conqueror-class battleship, the first ship Malevolence was destroyed by Anakin-Skywalker in the early days of Clone Wars; the second ship was equipped with a secret weapon Dragon's breath, which could release deadly toxins on an entire planet, and was later destroyed by Darth-Vader in Saleucami planetary battle.
After all, we are still the same person, and we cannot escape the fact that we belong to the same person.
As for Number Three Ship Destruction, a super Star Destroyer cannon is installed. The overall structure of this Star-destroying cannon alone is as long as 3,000 meters! Therefore, Destruction battleship of Star-destroying cannon was installed, and the overall length reached 7892 meters. And it also retains the biggest feature of Conqueror-class battleship - high-energy directional EMP.
In this way, Destruction battleship becomes a theoretical invincible battleship. On the one hand, EMP can be used to directly paralyze enemy warships. Even small targets such as fighter jet formations cannot escape the ultra-large range attack of EMP. On the other hand, Star-destroying cannon can also be used to launch devastating attacks against large targets, including planets or enemy capital ships.
It can be said that there is no dead end.
Although the theory is perfect, the reality is very skinny. Conqueror-class battleship only has so many energy levels and cannot support the energy supply of high-energy EMP and Star-destroying cannon. Therefore, the charging time of Star-destroying cannon is up to one hour, and its power is not satisfactory. Although it can theoretically destroy a planet, in reality it is far from that. Without Planetary Shield, one shot can only cause vibrations in the continental plates and destroy the planet's atmosphere. It is still far from 'planet annihilation'.
What about attacking the opponent's capital ship? The super long charging time will also give the enemy ship enough reaction time, so there is a high probability that it will miss.
Moreover, Star-destroying cannon and EMP are two independent systems. They are not only independent, but also interfere with each other. The entire battleship has a structure of Star-destroying cannon for 3047 meters at the front and EMP for 4845 meters at the back. Therefore, to launch Star-destroying cannon, all energy needs to be concentrated on Star-destroying cannon, that is, the energy must be concentrated to the front end 3047 meters away. To launch EMP, the energy needs to be concentrated 4845 meters behind.
During this period of time, the other half of the battleships were actually undefended. As long as this is caught by the enemy, Destruction can be completely destroyed easily.
Compared with these problems, the 3,047-meter structure at the front of the battleship has no problems with close-in defense guns. It is just a scabies disease.
The only good thing is that Destruction did not participate in Saleucami planetary battle. It has been kept as a treasure by Count Dooku and parked in Raxus Prime, the capital of Confederacy of Independent Systems. This allowed this powerful warship to avoid the fate of being destroyed. Later, General Grievous launched a rebellion and immediately snatched away Destruction battleship, then drove to Hutt Space to hide it.
Afterwards, Kingdom of Dawn dispatched Engineering Corps to completely modernize Destruction battleship. And this work was helped by a key figure - the talented battleship designer, Ruggle Schmong.
Ruger-Simon is a Celestian. He is the chief designer who designed and built the Conqueror-class battleship super battleship and is the father of the Conqueror-class battleship. The extremely powerful high-energy directional EMP cannon is his genius design.
He used the energy spilled from the hyperspace engine to build an energy network throughout the ship, and then collected the energy and launched it to form the super EMP. It is precisely this genius design that allows the 4845-meter-long Conqueror-class battleship to launch a EMP that is enough to paralyze an entire fleet!
You must know that the energy levels between the two are not equal at all! This is a genius design that uses a small amount to make a big difference.
