545. New battleship
Jedi Master Green-Betty bowed slightly and said to Sulama very politely, "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Majesty the Governor. When the fleet is replenished, we will attack immediately and cannot delay the fighter plane."
Green Betty is a female Bosa. She is not tall, about 1.45 meters tall. Although she is very elegant, she still looks like a wolf grandmother.
The average height of Bosa is about 1.5 meters. With a long hair and a raised nose, it looks like a hybrid of a hunting dog and a lion. They are also famous for their cunning in the galaxy, so they are often seen inside the Intelligence Department door of Galactic Republic.
Sulama nodded, walked to the huge panoramic window of the command center with his cane, and looked at the nearest ship Hunter Class Battlecruiser (Venator-class Star Destroyer).
It is daytime on this side of Hoth Planet. Under the light of stars, the 1137-meter-long dagger-shaped battleship in the spaceport reflects softly.
The flat hull, which is very similar to Acclamator-class assault ship, is full of industrial beauty. The catamaran bridge standing behind the battleship is several times larger than that of Acclamator-class, and it also looks more powerful.
This warship designed by Kuat Drive Yards's current chief designer Lila-Blythex also represents the perfect crystallization of Galactic Republic's highest technological and industrial capabilities, Lila-Blythex also proved that she is fully capable of taking over the work of her talented battleship designer father, Willix-Blythex, and designing extremely powerful battleships for the military.
Officials of Hunter Class Battlecruiser and Kuat Drive Yards prefer to call this battleship Star Destroyer (Star Destroyer). In fact, this classification does not exist in Anaxes War College system, which was implemented by Galactic Republic more than 3,000 years ago. Of course, this system is outdated, so the classification of Galactic Republic warships is now very confusing.
However, in order to highlight the power of the battleships they produced, the people of Kuat Drive Yards directly named the battleship they produced Star Destroyer, which was somewhat exaggerated.
But Hunter Class Battlecruiser is truly powerful!
The main guns of this warship are 8 twin-mounted DBY-827 heavy-duty Turbolaser guns, the secondary guns are 2 twin-mounted medium-sized laser cannons, there are 52 point defense laser cannons to protect the warship in different directions, and 4 heavy-duty ship-to-ship Proton Torpedo launchers, each with 16 ammunition.
However, the eight double-mounted DBY-827 heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons are arranged on both sides of the bridge in the second half of the battleship. This very strange setting makes it impossible for the Hunter Class to use its full capabilities in any direction. (Xiao Jing always thought those were anti-aircraft guns at first, but after careful comparison, I found out that this one is really the main gun, which is so weird), especially when the bow of the ship is facing the enemy, it has almost only one-third of the firepower.
This strange turret arrangement is to make way for the huge hangar on the battleship that is more than 600 meters long. Hunter Class Almost the entire front end of the ship is the location of the hangar. When fully loaded, Hunter Class can carry up to 420 fighters. In terms of design, Hunter Class will include 192 V-19 Torrent light fighters, 192 ETA-2 interceptors and 36 ACR-170 heavy fighters.
However, because the ETA-2 interceptors and ACR-170 fighters have not yet begun to be installed, the standards for these 60 Hunter Class Battlecruisers are 150 V-19 Torrent starfighters and 80 Z-95 Headhunter fighters, in addition to 30 BTL-B Y-wing bombers. More space needs to be reserved for the takeoff and landing of transport ships.
In order to facilitate the take-off of this huge fleet, the entire upper part of the Hunter Class Battlecruiser can be unfolded, revealing the 500-meter-long platform inside, so that all these fighter jets can take off in a short time.
Although the design of Hunter Class Battlecruiser is very classic, it also has limitations of many eras. In fact, it is precisely because of the flat hull and huge hangar that more point defense turrets are needed for protection. Moreover, the design of the gallery gun makes the warship's firepower lack flexibility, and the firing direction must be adjusted as the warship turns.
Moreover, the huge hangar comparable to an aircraft carrier also brings hidden dangers in defense. In fact, without a shield, Hunter Class Battlecruiser is far less resistant than Acclamator-class assault ship.
Even with so many shortcomings, Hunter Class Battlecruiser is enough to be proud of almost all warships in this era, and is well deserved to be the strongest!
Watching the transport ships fully loaded with soldiers landing from the Hangar Platform deployed by Hunter Class, Governor Sulama's eyes became enthusiastic. He seemed to have seen the scene of this extremely powerful fleet attacking Bespin and completely destroying Dawn Star Planet's fleet!
After seeing Dawn Star Planet's fierce offensive, Sulama felt a little uneasy before assuming the position of governor 19th Legion. The fall of Bespin Planet and the surrender of Cerea became the first two sparks of fire for his new official, and they almost burned him to death.
And now this third fire must burn Dawn Star Planet so hard that it hurts, and even burns him to death!
Only in this way can I sit securely in my position as governor.
Governor of Dawn Star Planet Tang Xiao, this name has been deeply imprinted in his heart since the first day he took office.
"Your Majesty the Governor? The above is my battle plan this time. I hope you can support it." Green Betty's voice came from the side.
But Sulama's mind was completely attracted by the Hunter Class Battlecruiser, and he didn't react until Betty called for the second time. He turned around and said with a smile, "We will provide you with all the support you need for your actions."
He waved, and the waiter brought a few glasses of juice to the two pairs of Jedi Knight masters and disciples in front of him, and then with a signal, he said, "Let me first wish you a successful start."
Green Betty nodded, took the juice and took a sip, "May the Force be with you, Your Excellency the Governor."
Bespin Planet, peripheral defense line.
"The forward outpost has detected a hyperspace jump! We are still 4 seconds away from us [Note 1]!" The messenger turned back and said loudly to Matt-Hona.
Matt-Hona raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then looked at the holographic star map in front of him, and said, "Countdown to 120 seconds, detonate the target minefield!"
"Yes!" The technician on the side immediately began to execute the instructions.
"Notify all units to enter combat status immediately! Sound the alarm!!" Matt-Hona continued to order.
Woo~~~Woo~~~Woo~~~ A piercing alarm sounded immediately throughout the battleship, and the crew members and robots who were already on standby immediately concentrated on their respective positions.
All the lighting inside the battleship was extinguished, leaving only the red indicator light. The blood-red color immediately made the atmosphere grim.
All weapons begin to charge and shields rise.
In particular, the 50 Kohl-class Battlecruisers of Fleet A have already charged the large-caliber Railgun ahead, and they only need to wait for an order to launch the first round of saturation strikes!
"...4, 3, 2, 1... detonate!!!"
As the technician shouted, a minefield preset near Corellian Trade Route detonated instantly!
The powerful explosion power of the air mine swept across an area stretching for thousands of kilometers in an instant!
Almost at the same time as the explosion detonated, violent white light flashed continuously, and 60 Hunter Class Battlecruiser appeared there, showing their ferocious fangs towards Bespin Planet!
