644. Battle of Christophsis (ten)
Wraith fighter took off from the hangar on Behemoth-class battlecruiser, but instead of staying in space, they directly activated the shield and rushed into Christophsis.
The standard number of aircraft carried on each Behemoth-class battlecruiser is 24 Wraith fighter [Note 1]. A total of 240 fighter jets entered the atmosphere and flew directly over Crystal City to join the air battle.
After these stealth fighters joined the Anti-Stealth, Republic Air Force, which was not prepared at all for the Anti-Stealth work, immediately suffered a major blow and was shot down more than 70 fighter jets. Then it returned to the range of the landing Acclamator-class assault ship, relying on the powerful radar enemy tracking system on the battleship to fight against the stealth fighters.
However, the small number of Wraith fighter did not really intend to compete with the massive Galactic Republic fighters for air supremacy. They were just ensuring that generals Volm-Lotham no longer dropped bombs all day long.
Under the cover of Wraith fighter, approximately 80 APOD-33 transport aircraft landed within the control range of the Confederacy of Independent Systems robot army, but there was no further movement.
Volm was very curious about this, but those transport planes had no intention of opening the hatches, and Sefrans-Tann would not explain anything to him at all.
When night fell on Crystal City's side, these transport planes took off quietly and scattered in the direction of Crystal City without any air cover.
At the same time, the ground forces of generals Volm-Lotham and the fleet of General Trench also received notifications from Sefrans-General Tann respectively, asking them to immediately prepare for battle and start the attack.
"... I understand, since the situation on the space battlefield is unfavorable, then I have to open up the situation as soon as possible on the ground, while we still have some advantages." Anakin-Skywalker looked at Obi-Wan-Kenobi in the holographic projection and said, "I will plan a counterattack after dawn."
"Don't act rashly, Anakin. At least for now, our forces have no problem holding on to the existing positions. According to our analysis, the two new warships of Separatists are not suitable for sustained operations. Our sensors have also detected that their warships are replenishing missiles, so the next We will fight against this. You have to remember that Galactic Republic and Jedi Order are our backers, and their small fleet should not be an obstacle to us," Obi-Wan-Kenobi said seriously.
"Okay, then you can fight well in the space battlefield, master." Anakin said perfunctorily and closed the communication.
"I think we should listen to your master, Skywalker. I heard that we lost 900 fighter jets in just ten minutes yesterday." Ahsoka-Tano was sitting on the table nearby. She was very small, and as soon as she sat on it, her legs were dangling in the air, swinging there.
"If you don't want me to write down your disrespectful comments on the teacher in the report, then stop calling me by this title! Little devil." Anakin said, "Okay, now we should formulate one as soon as possible..."
"Hmph! Attack plan, right?" Ahsoka angrily completed his next words.
"Ah, it looks like you have started your studies, little apprentice..." Anakin said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded, and the radar soldier on duty immediately shouted, "There is something strange at Separatist army! They have left the station and are heading towards Crystal City!!"
Anakin snorted coldly, "I haven't even gone to trouble them, but they actually came to my door!"
"I think it's because they had more than 200 Wraith fighter reinforced from space before. With air power, they started to attack." Captain Rex said.
"Inform all units to enter combat status, Ahsoka, Rex, follow me! Since the robot has taken the initiative to attack, we have an opportunity. We will lead a commando team and penetrate into the core of the enemy!" Anakin waved and gave the order.
The sound of explosions soon sounded in the direction of the front line. This was the firing of AV-7 artillery. Soon, more explosions sounded. After the AV-7 artillery fired and exposed the position, the Wraith fighter squadron of Confederacy of Independent Systems rushed towards this side and bombed indiscriminately.
Hundreds of thousands of B-1 combat robots lined up in an array and advanced towards the Crystal City defensive position. They fired continuously as they advanced. Red blasters rained down on them, even the sky was reflected red.
After Rex and his most elite Torrent Company were prepared, Anakin-Skywalker and Ahsoka- Tano was about to set off. At this time, the radar soldier in the command center suddenly said, "Separatists transport planes have been detected! There are 80 of them. They are spreading out to various parts of the city without escort!"
Anakin-Skywalker, who wanted to attack immediately and capture the thief first, undoubtedly had him. Although he also felt the sense of crisis from these places, on this battlefield, the sense of crisis is everywhere. He just said, "Take off fighter jets and shoot down all these transport planes! If you cannot shoot down or other situations occur, let me know."
"Yes!"

[Note 1: Regarding the sizes of the units in "StarCraft", I would like to explain here. Because there is no official data, they are basically estimates, or comparisons based on data released by some unofficial channels. For example, Behemoth-class battlecruiser, although there is no size data, there are some things that can be found. For example, the number of passengers is 6,000, the aircraft capacity is 24 Wraith fighter, and the number of transport aircraft used to transport soldiers is not too small. It can also transport hundreds to thousands of troops and equipment. These data are clearly available, so it can be seen from these that the size of Behemoth-class cannot be too small. I forgot where I saw the number 1300 meters before, but based on the above, I think this size is more reasonable.
The other thing is about Hyperion. It is true that this is the flagship of Mengsk, but this battleship was originally a standard Behemoth-class, which belonged to Terran Federation Navy. It was later taken over by Sons of Korhal as the flagship, so it was not built according to flagship specifications from the beginning. As for subsequent modifications, you can't change the structure of the battleship no matter how much you modify it, right? So I think Hyperion is also the standard size of Behemoth-class, even if there is a difference, it will not be more than one-tenth.
Finally, based on the data I have obtained from all aspects of information, tentatively Minotaur-class is 550 meters and Gorgon-class is 2500 meters. Of course, there is no official data to support it, so everyone can speak freely.]
