2653. The result of humiliation

Galactic Empire, Reaper Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, bridge.

Fleet Admiral Oswald-Tessik stood in front of the holographic star map, with one hand behind his back and the other hand looking at the light screen in front of him.

It shows the news just released by Galactic HoloNet, the title is: [The Empire's rising star, Major General Moss-Barris has another brilliant victory.]

Marshal Tessik turned away coldly, only to see Major General Moss-Barris standing aside, holding his hat on his chest with both hands, trembling like chaff, cold sweat dripping down like rain, and there was even a small puddle of water under his feet.

"This report is very well written, Captain Barris." Oswald-Tessik said lightly, "But, why not also write about the next battle?"

"Yes... I'm sorry...Lord Marshal... I... I..." Major General Barris, oh no, the captain was incoherent and didn't know what to say at all.

"So, can I understand that you took selfies on the battlefield for a while and then ran away?" Marshal Tessik then asked.

"No... I'm... those battleships... I..." Captain Barris stammered.

At this time, through the porthole of the battleship, I saw only a cold and stiff corpse floating by. There was a camera drone controller hanging around the corpse's neck - this was the reporter who had previously shot the battlefield news for Moss-Barris!

"I gave you 50 ships Star Destroyer, 50 ships." Marshal Tessik's tone became colder, "According to your military rank and qualifications, you are not qualified to get this opportunity. But I still gave it to you, I I had high hopes for you, Captain Barris. Barris family behind you also contributed a lot to our the Empire during the war, so... this was originally a good start."

His pair of cold dead fish eyes swept up and down Moss Barris's body, "But... you faced the attack of 30 warships from the other side, and you actually ran away? You abandoned your fleet and let them fend for themselves, but you ran back to Scipio. Tell me, why is this?"

"I... I...Lord Marshal... These battleships... are too weird... I don't know how to deal with them..." Moss Barris finally choked out a complete sentence.

"This is the only reason why you haven't been sent to a military court by me yet." Marshal Tessik said coldly.

He turned to look at the projection on the star map of the entire system, and saw that this was the battlefield where Moss Barris was attacked before, but now, 100 Imperial-class Star Destroyers had surrounded it, and Reaper Super Star Destroyer was in the center of the battlefield.

The battlefield is littered with broken battleship wreckage. Dozens of barges are towing away several Imperial-class Star Destroyer that have completely lost their ability to move, while hundreds of engineering ships are sorting and dismantling the wreckage.

No wonder Marshal Tessik is so angry that he even came here from Anax Planet himself.

Moss-Barris encountered Geth unfamiliar warship's attack before. The opponent's offensive was extremely fierce. Within a short period of time, Barris's fleet suffered losses, and two warships came directly towards him.

Because Barris was taking a selfie, his battleship was positioned relatively forward, so he was directly attacked by Geth warship. Moreover, the firepower of this kind of warship was very terrifying. Barris's flagship was quickly destroyed Deflector Shield. As a result, he panicked and simply abandoned the fleet and ran away.

The ensuing battle was extremely fierce, and the remaining captains could only fight on their own. Some warships followed Barris and fled, but there were still more warships that persisted in resisting.

In the end, all 30 strange Geth warship ships were destroyed. But of the 50 Imperial-class Star Destroyer, 7 warships escaped, 28 of the remaining 43 were destroyed, 10 were severely damaged, and only 5 were basically intact.

Such a battle loss ratio is a complete shame!

Even among the current main fleet of Kingdom of Dawn, there is no thousand-meter-level battleship that can truly compete with Imperial-class Star Destroyer. If Chunchun is just dueling, Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser is no match for Imperial-class because its firepower is too weak, and the turrets are divided on both sides, so only half of the turrets can be used in a duel.

After all, Imperial-class Star Destroyer has a volume of 1,600 meters here, and relying on a more powerful total amount of energy can always play a very good role.

Kingdom of Dawn fleet relies more on the cooperation between different ship types to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two, so that it can repeatedly defeat Imperial fleet, dominated by Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

But now, the opponent's 30 1083-meter warships raided the 50 Imperial-class Star Destroyer that were waiting for battle. Whether it was size, quantity or tonnage, both sides were not on the same level.

However, the result is one for one!!

In the post-war report, Moss-Barris's combat record stated that he rushed forward bravely in the previous battle, so he rushed to the front of the fleet formation and was accidentally attacked by Geth. The battleship suffered heavy damage and had to retreat.

However, what Oswald-Marshal Tessik really cares about is the performance of these strange warships.

According to combat reports, the linear acceleration of these battleships is extremely fast, and they use warp speed to appear next to Imperial fleet with great accuracy! At the same time, they have almost no long-range firepower, but the close-range artillery fire is very powerful, both in terms of power and rate of fire, it is incredibly powerful.

Not only that, according to research on the surviving battleships, the Deflector Shield equipped with Imperial-class Star Destroyer cannot completely isolate this kind of close-range artillery fire attack. In other words, in fact, Imperial-class Star Destroyer's shield and armor are being hit at the same time!

This is also an important reason why Imperial-class Star Destroyer suffered such huge losses.

If this were a battleship like Hunter Class Battlecruiser that mainly relied on shield resistance, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to last for less than three minutes in front of these unfamiliar battleships!

Among the wreckage of the battlefield, many the Empire technicians took great risks and wore spacesuits to enter the interiors of strange warships to collect as much information as possible.

Star Destroyer who was present was also working together, using tractor beams to drag some large pieces of debris over and put them into Reaper's huge Hangar Platform.

At this time, the wreckage of one of the suspected ship bridges was dragged in, and dozens of technicians rushed over to investigate.

A technician opened the control center console and saw a strange number written on it - T-34-1?
