792, Dawn's Radiance
[Dawn's Radiance-class mothership, Shining Spirit have arrived, please provide an outer space anchor.]Terminus Planet Communication came from inside the spaceport control room.
The dispatch officer quickly replied, "We have not received notification from the headquarters, please go to the No. 3 satellite orbit for the time being. What is the mass of this spacecraft?"
[The empty cabin mass is 3 million tons, it is currently fully loaded, and the total mass is 48 million tons.]Shining Spirit mothership sent data.
The dispatching officer entered the data into the computer and then said, "Please enter the satellite's gravitational circle at a distance of 15,000 kilometers from the No. 3 satellite and fly synchronously around the satellite. Please maintain power and not be captured by the satellite's gravity."
[Okay, please notify Matt-Admiral Horner as soon as possible to come and hand over.]Shining Spirit said from the mothership.
"Okay." The dispatch officer did not dare to neglect and quickly informed Matt-Admiral Horner of the news. "Our fighter squadron will take off to guide your actions. Please forgive me. This is a necessary procedure."
[Understood.]
12 Wraith fighter immediately took off from a nearby Luukri-Hok-class battleship, came to the front of the mothership, and followed the mothership half as a guide and half as a monitor.
At the same time, Matt-Admiral Horner also received news that a mothership was coming for reinforcements. He immediately put down his work and went to the command center.
After showing their identification codes and permissions, Matt-Admiral Horner boarded the bridge of the Shining Spirit mothership, and started the formal handover with the captain.
"Salute to you, General Matt-Hona. I am the captain of the Shining Spirit mothership and Colonel He Ru." A 50-year-old soldier came over and gave a military salute.
He is very short, only about 1.63 meters tall, but his skin is dark and rough, his body is stocky, and he looks extremely calm.
Matt-Hona returned the greeting and asked, "I did not receive any news from Dawn Star Planet that such a mothership would arrive."
"This is what the Governor meant. The Shining Spirit mothership is the prototype of Dawn's Radiance-class mothership. It is still under testing. However, the Governor believes that the situation of Terminus Planet is in urgent need of Dawn's Radiance-class mothership's power, so I asked me to come immediately with supplies to assist you in completing the defense line construction work and complete the navigation test at the same time." He Ru said.
"This mothership is almost the same as Glory mothership..." Matt-Hona looked around.
"Yes, the original name of this class of mothership is Hiigaran's Radiance-class, but under the instruction of the Governor, it was renamed Dawn's Radiance, which also heralds our Honor." He Ru said.
"What can this ship do?" Matt-Hona asked.
"Same as Glory mothership, construction, scientific research, colonization, production, anything can be done." He Ru said, "The Shining Spirit mothership is equipped with a 300-meter-class cruiser. Shipyards, two 150-meter destroyer docks, and seven 20-meter fighter factories. In addition, there are ammunition and missile factories, various industrial product processing plants, and the Group One large-scale molecular industrial aircraft."
He clicked on the data on the screen and continued, "But unlike Glory mothership, Dawn's Radiance-class mothership was designed and built entirely to meet the requirements of frontline spacecraft. This new type of mothership is smaller, more flexible, and has comprehensive Armor protection. Not only that, the Dawn's Radiance class has very powerful anti-aircraft firepower. In order to improve the coverage of anti-aircraft firepower, more than 200 guide rails are installed on the surface of the spacecraft, which allows the close-in anti-aircraft gun to slide freely outside the spacecraft and change its deployment position."
Matt-Hona nodded and said, "In other words, Dawn's Radiance-class mothership can even build warships on the battlefield and fight at the same time?"
"Now High Command is indeed exploring the feasibility of this combat method, but given the construction cycle of a warship, I don't think it is feasible." He Ru replied, adding at the end, "But it is very appropriate for the front line to supplement fighters and missiles... So I think the captains commanding Martha-class missile heavy cruiser will welcome us very much."
"I understand what the headquarters means." Matt-Hona nodded solemnly, even unable to contain his excitement.
As far as the current situation of Terminus Planet is concerned, the arrival of this Dawn's Radiance-class mothership Shining Spirit is completely a timely help!
Terminus Planet was severely damaged in previous battles.
Because the battle was at a stalemate for a while, the core of the competition between the two sides was the mines and factories on the planet, including the resource collection points set up on the satellites. Therefore, during repeated battles, the damage was very serious.
Now everything in Terminus Planet needs to be transported from the direction of Fourth Civilization's headquarters, but the problem of hyperspace channels has not disappeared because of Fourth Civilization's victory. The supplies shipped from Manfarr are still affected by the waterway and are very limited.
Under such circumstances, if Galactic Republic continues to increase its troops, the situation in Terminus campaign will appear again - Fourth Civilization cannot match Galactic Republic's reinforcement speed, and will fall into a hard battle.
Of course Matt-Hona knows that now Tang Xiao has been busy outside, just to mobilize other forces to contain Galactic Republic, but at the same time, Terminus Planet also needs to continuously improve his defense level.
The most ideal situation is that Terminus Planet can be self-sufficient.
The arrival of Dawn's Radiance-class mothership and Shining Spirit is the key to solving this problem!
Even if Shining Spirit is not expected to build a fleet immediately, the production line carried by Shining Spirit can immediately start producing Grizzly-class heavy destroyer and Garda Flak Frigate, which are extremely useful in battles, and can also mass-produce Vulture droid fighter and Wraith fighter.
The most important thing is that we can also start producing Fire Cloud series missile used in Martha-class heavy cruiser!
Once there are enough logistical supplies, the firepower that Masha-class can unleash is simply insane!
Not to mention that Shining Spirit can also provide support for the planet's industry. The molecular-level industrial mother machine can produce a large number of high-precision processing equipment, greatly improving the production technology of the planet factory.
With the addition of Shining Spirit, Matt-Hona can finally relax.
Because Terminus Planet's defense will be as solid as a rock!
Based on Western Reaches and looking at the Milky Way, this is the strategy of Fourth Civilization!
Tragic losses and sacrifices cannot stop Fourth Civilization from moving forward! The temporary stop is for the next step, to go further and faster! -
[Easter egg chapter attached picture 1: Dawn's Radiance (Hiigaran's Radiance).]
[PS: Hiigaran's Radiance does not have a clear size in the official settings. The only one with a clear size in the wiki is Kushan Mothership, which is 41.37 kilometers. However, in the game database, a size was once defined for Kushan Mothership, which was 2138.1 meters, but this data was later confirmed to be wrong.
Further judgment is made on this basis. In the plot, the construction time of Kushan Mothership is 60 years and there is only one ship. Hiigaran's Radiance is a mass-produced mothership with a construction period of one month. This is a reflection of the strong industrial strength of the re-emerging Hiigaran and the scale of Hiigaran's Radiance. So the size of Hiigaran's Radiance is defined here as 2138.1 meters.
As for the Hiigaran's Radiance mentioned in the Bilibili video, it is 2470 meters. I have not found the source of this data, so I will not use it.]
