1787, Galactic Empire Navy Reform (2)
On the battlefield where the Knight-class Star Destroyer appears, the fleet commander of the Principality of Dawn must let some battleships go up, sometimes the Hells Angel-class, sometimes the Cole-class. And they need to keep the small battleships as far away from this equipment as possible
A super firepower monster with 120 turrets.
And even this is not enough, because the extremely strong shield of the Knight-class Star Destroyer also makes it an extremely difficult target to destroy. In order to fight against the Knight-class, the fleet commander of the Principality of Dawn also had to mobilize disaster-class warships
A series of cruisers used particle light lance bombardment to fight against it.
But as a super long-range strike weapon, the particle light spear puts its firepower on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, which is a huge waste in itself. It's like when you start a team, all the ADC's ultimate moves are used on the top single.
, then do you think it’s a loss or not?
Therefore, in the several battles in which the Knight-class Star Destroyers fought, the losses of the Kingdom of Dawn's small and medium-sized battleships were much higher than usual, thanks to the rampaging Knight-class Star Destroyers.
In fact, strictly speaking, just as Willix Blissex commented on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, this type of Star Destroyer as a whole is absolutely very strong, but this strength is based on the 1600
The meter-long huge hull is built on the SFS l-a2b giant ionization reactor that occupies almost one-fifth of the volume.
Therefore, although the Knight-class Star Destroyer is majestic on the battlefield, if you think about it carefully, according to the broad three-dimensional triangular shape of the Knight-class Star Destroyer, its overall volume of 1,600 meters in length is almost equivalent to a Hells Angel-class battleship of more than 1,100 meters.
More than twice that of a cruiser!
Under such circumstances, it is still impossible to obtain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, so it is obvious how this model of warship is evaluated.
Willix-Blissex was spot on - it could have been better.
It is equivalent to saying that the Knight-class Star Destroyer is to use the size of the Galactic Republic/Galaxy Empire to bully the small, and use something that although the performance is not very good, but has great power to directly confront it unreasonably. It is like
Use the big ax to deal with the finely crafted daggers of the Dawn Principality.
It is precisely because of this that the battlefield performance of the Knight-class Star Destroyer is actually not bad.
But why was the Knight-class Star Destroyer eliminated in just one year? It was because the Knight-class Star Destroyer lost every battle it participated in... not only lost, but also two crucial battles.
Battles are all fleets formed with the Knight-class Star Destroyer as the core——
The raid in the Model sector and the assault on the Yago-Dur system.
Strictly speaking, in fact, these failures had other objective factors, and it cannot be blamed on a warship like the Knight-class Star Destroyer. But it happened that at this time, both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire needed to pay attention to these two tragic failures.
Qualify and find a scapegoat.
On a larger scale, it is naturally Quat Power Shipyard and Onana Quat who take the blame. On a smaller scale, it is naturally frontline commanders Casio Tagge and Gideon Tarkin who take the blame. In terms of technology,
Go ahead, the one who takes the blame is naturally the Knight-class Star Destroyer.
But why is Lila Blissex, the designer of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the chief engineer of the Quat Power Dockyard, okay? It's simple, because she is now Mrs. Wessex.
That's right, Lila has married Dunn and is now called Lila Wessex.
Who dares to put the blame on the wife of King of the North Dunn-Wessex? Are you tired of living? Didn’t you see the wedding of the two of them, and the Emperor Palpatine attended it?
As for the Knight-class Star Destroyer, Lila Wessex’s statement is very simple: the Knight-class Star Destroyer was originally a prototype ship used for testing—which regular battleship have you seen that doesn’t even have a hangar platform?
Is that so? This type of battleship is used as a technical reserve for the Archon-class Star Destroyer.
However, Onana Quart, who was already greedy for profit at that time, for her own selfish interests and to promote the immature Model Sector Raid War, forced the Knight-class Star Destroyer to be submitted for review as an official battleship, and bribed the Galaxy at that time
Officials of the Republic's Battleship Manufacturing Regulatory Commission allowed the approval of the battleship to be approved.
And in the next few battles, although the Knight-class Star Destroyer participated in the battle, it was still unable to save the defeat. All these things were forcibly suppressed by Onana Kuat, in order to obtain the information for the Model Sector Raid Battle.
power of command.
In this way, this explanation is perfect. Not only does the failure of the Model Sector Assault Battle be interpreted as Onana Kuat's mistake, this mistake is not only insufficient preparation for the battle, but also the performance of the battleship.
But pass. It perfectly pushed away all the responsibilities of Dunn Wessex and Lila Wessex, and that’s not all. In this way, even the frontline commander Cassio Tagg
The responsibilities have also been reduced a lot.
No matter what, the Tagg family is still one of the wealthy families in the inner circle. At this time, it is natural to be merciful and merciful, and just give them a step down.
So all the dirty water was poured on Onana Kuat, who was already dead anyway. Her son, husband and other relatives were also implicated, and all their property was confiscated, and then they were expelled from the planet Kuat and wandered.
A foreign country. As for the ending, no one cares.
The person who did these heartless things was none other than her nephew, the current Kuate of Kuate, Little Kuate.
The losers in political struggles will have to suffer such consequences.
Speaking of which, in the new round of the Galactic Empire Navy procurement plan, there are no more Commander II-class dreadnoughts, Knight-class Star Destroyers, Karak-class light cruisers, Jaeger-class battlecruisers, Consul-class cruisers, CR-
70 frigate, DP-20 gunboat, V-19 Riptide light fighter, ARC-170 heavy fighter, Delta-7 fighter, Eta-2 fighter, these are the equipment that once shined in the Clone Wars.
Plans to replace these equipment are already underway, the most important of which is the Archon-class Star Destroyer!
While the Knight-class Star Destroyers were constantly being targeted by the Principality of Dawn on the front lines, Quat Power Shipyard and Lila Wessex were not idle. She was also constantly summarizing some of the weaknesses of the Knight-class Star Destroyers.
and errors, and correct them in a timely manner.
Through the Dunn-Wessex relationship, she had already known the news that the Knight-class Star Destroyer was about to be eliminated. As the Archon-class Star Destroyer, which was almost the same type as the Knight-class Star Destroyer before, if it was still old
If it looks like this, then it definitely cannot be justified no matter what.
Therefore, the modification plan for the Archon-class Star Destroyer has been ongoing. Later, Lila Wessex simply found the design plan for the Victory II-class Star Destroyer. With her relationship, she was overseen by Republic Shipbuilding and Manufacturing
It is not difficult to obtain the data of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer from the committee and ask for instructions.
Lila knew very well that the Victory II-class Star Destroyer was designed by her father, the real ship design genius Willix Blissex. The design concept was definitely better than that of the Archon-class ship she designed.
Star Destroyers are much better.
More importantly, her own design philosophy and her father's design philosophy are in the same vein, and they can learn from each other very well. At the same time, the designs of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the Archon-class Star Destroyer were also the designs of Willix-
Blissex made a start before leaving Quat Power Dockyard.
