656. Agonev
22BBY, the morning of August 11, Bespin Planet.
A group of 20 V-19 Torrent fighter escorting 5 Y-wing bomber are flying at full speed, heading in the direction of Bespin Planet.
This huge gas giant planet has a diameter of 118,000 kilometers, but in fact, the turbid atmosphere spilling out around it is wider. If this part is included, the diameter of Bespin Planet can even reach 130,000 kilometers! In comparison, the Earth with a diameter of 12,000 kilometers is like a marble placed next to a basketball.
Now, in this turbid atmosphere, a terrible battle is breaking out.
Countless lasers and missiles were flying around like raindrops, some from the enemy and some from our own side. This team of fighter jets is like swifts flying up and down in the storm, thrilling!
In fact, if you don't look at the instruments, you can't actually see anything around you, because the area where the two sides are fighting is so large that it is completely impossible to see it with your eyes.
But even so, the dense laser beams and constant explosions still showed the cruelty of this battle.
This fighter squadron passed by a Gauss Fire Platform at high speed. The two 500mm-caliber heavy cannons on this 50-meter-high small armed fire platform were firing continuously into the void. The two 8-unit missile launchers also fired 16 missiles at once, directly towards the rear Republic fleet.
But these Galactic Republic fighters didn't pay attention at all. Their goal was something else.
The two close-range laser cannons on Gauss Fire Platform fired wildly at the fighter jets. The lasers were all blocked by the fighter shields. Then, from an unknown direction, a powerful Turbolaser cannon hit Gauss Fire Platform directly! Then came the second and third rounds. After withstanding nearly 10 shots from the Turbolaser cannon, the Gauss Fire Platform shield finally collapsed, and then the main structure and armor also collapsed during the shooting!
In the violent explosion, the fighter squadron flashed past, passing through layers of turbid clouds and fog. Suddenly the front suddenly became clear, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.
Only the huge disk-shaped body of Bespin Cloud City was seen floating in the distance. More than 20 warships and countless fighter jets and frigates were fighting fiercely in this airspace. Countless lasers and missiles were flying across the sky.
However, this is not the point. After this group of fighter jets passed through the clouds, directly in front of them was another terrifying creation!
An extremely huge armed space station!
No, this can no longer be described as a space station. This giant space station, which is square and trapezoidal at the top and slightly thinner at the bottom, looks like a mushroom, with a side length of a terrifying 8,000 meters! The height also reaches as much as 6,000 meters!
With such a size, it is clearly a fortress! Star Fortress!
Thick armor is spread all over the entire body, dense close-range anti-aircraft guns are everywhere, and vertical missile launchers arranged on the edges are constantly launching various types of missiles. What's even more terrifying is that an extremely huge twin-mounted heavy laser cannon is installed on the four corners of the edge of the fortress! The laser cannon launcher alone is larger than a frigate!
As Star Fortress slowly rotates, the heavy laser cannons at the four corners are also firing rhythmically. Each irradiation lasts for about 2 seconds, which will bring devastating damage to the battleship.
It can be seen that this Star Fortress has not yet been completed. The frame structure in many places is still exposed and is being assembled by some large engineering ships more than 900 meters long.
There are already thousands of fighter jets engaged in fierce battles around the fortress. Galactic Republic naturally understands the threat of this fortress and dispatches a large number of fighter jets for bombing.
After discovering this newly added fighter squadron, Star Fortress detached some close-range firepower and opened fire wildly. The dense lasers and artillery shells came over, immediately destroying several fighters in the fighter squadron.
But these brave Galactic Republic fighter pilots still moved forward fearlessly. As soon as they discovered the target, they launched all the missiles and Proton Torpedo carried on the fighter jet. Facing this super giant fortress with a side length of 8,000 meters and a height of 6,000 meters, they did not even need to aim!
Under the cover of V-19 fighter jets, Y-wing bomber finally rushed close to the fortress despite the firepower. The anti-aircraft firepower was so dense that they could not see directly. The human eye alone could no longer find a space to dodge among the hundreds of oncoming firepower. They relied only on the assistance of the navigation computer and their own irregular evasive movements.
However, even so, Y-wing bomber could not get too close to this Star Fortress, because the surrounding firepower was really crazy. After three Y-wing bombers were destroyed, they had to launch all the heavy-duty Proton Torpedos, then turn around and run away.
The close-range firepower became more and more crazy. More than a dozen heavy-duty Proton Torpedos were intercepted, but more than 20 of them still hit the target, causing ripples to ripple on the Star Fortress's energy shield.
At this moment, the escorting V-19 fighter jets were already fighting with a group of Wraith fighters who came to protect them. The V-19 Torrent fighters were at a complete disadvantage when facing the stealth fighters and were shot down one after another. Y-wing bomber had to make a big circle and prepare to leave from the other direction.
However, at this moment, a Martha-class heavy cruiser flew around Star Fortress at an extremely fast speed. Facing a group of Galactic Republic fighter jets that rushed over, all missile launchers were deployed and hundreds of missiles were launched like raindrops!!
This unique missile will form a large deadly radiation cloud after it explodes. This salvo directly covers an area of hundreds of kilometers! Among them, at least more than 100 Galactic Republic fighter jets were disintegrated into pieces by the radiation cloud.
Among them, this team Y-wing bomber is also included.
At the same time, Bespin Cloud City, Fourth Civilization command center.
The combat commanders Igor-Zavalov are commanding calmly, issuing orders one after another. Each warship and fighter squadron performs their duties, doing their best to resist the crazy attack of Galactic Republic as many as 80 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and tens of thousands of fighter jets.
Next to him, a Vaxian was reporting the situation with a portable terminal, "General, Agonev-class Star Fortress is not completely completed yet, and after all, it was modified by Industrial Floating City Shefa City, so the structural strength cannot be guaranteed. We should try to prevent Star Fortress's shield from being penetrated."
Vaxian is an insectoid race with four legs and covered with thick carapace. They are extremely strong, hardworking and very talented in engineering. This should be in line with their distant ancestor Killiks. After all, Killiks is also a race that is keen on all kinds of Megastructure.
And this time, Vaxian was able to transform Shefa City into Agonev-class Star Fortress in just two months, and Vaxian took the greatest credit. In addition, the Givin also prepared the precision components of Star Fortress's weapon system and other aspects early on, and then secretly sent them for direct assembly. This allowed the interstellar base to play a role in this Defense Battle.
