523, bloody battle at Bespin (1)
At the same time, on the morning of May 24, a chaotic and huge fleet broke away from the hyperspace channel and arrived at the planet Denon.
This fleet includes 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships, more than 80 Karak-class light cruisers, and more than 200 ships including CR-70 and Corellian DP-20 gunboats.
Frigate class battleship.
There are even 4 ancient Invincible-class heavy cruisers that can be seen in the formation. This heavy cruiser is 2011 meters long and was designed more than 3000 years ago. Although it has long lagged behind the times, it is a large warship that can enter the atmosphere.
, to some extent, some residual heat can still be used.
This is a formation that the Galactic Republic pieced together, assembled 5 local defense fleets, and asked the Republic Judiciary Fleet, which has been reorganized into the Grand Republic Navy, to draw warships. Their purpose is to directly kill the planet Geonosis.
, rescue Master Yoda and the 200,000 clone army.
Among the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers serving as the flagship, Jedi Master Depa Bilaba stood in the middle wearing a brown robe, and behind her stood two young girls with blond hair.
The two girls look only 15 or 6 years old. The childishness on their faces has not faded, but they are already very beautiful and lovely girls. They both have shoulder-length short hair, with a bow tied around their golden hair.
——This is not allowed in the Jedi Order, but because of Depa-Bilaba's doting on them, Bilaba's master, Master Windu, the second-in-command of the Jedi Order, did not say anything.
Although the two girls look similar, the color of their clothes and expressions are completely different, making them easy to distinguish.
The taller one was wearing a blue robe and the bow on her head was also blue. She looked very quiet, she just stood there with her head down and said nothing.
The shorter one was wearing a red robe with a red bow on his head, but the expression on his face was full of confidence and even arrogance.
Yes, they are the disciples of Depa Billaba, and they are also the first batch of Force-sensitive people who went out from the Dawn Planet to train in the Jedi Order, sisters Luna Dream and Luna Phantom.
Before 27 BBY, the Dawn Planet sent a total of three batches of five Force-sensitive people to the Jedi Order for training, but the ones with the highest talent and the strangest were still sisters Luna Dream and Luna Phantom. They
Only when they stand together can they possess the talent of the Force, and their talent is extremely high, almost as high as that of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. However, if they are separated by a certain distance, they are no different from ordinary people.
After 27 BBY, with the increasing expansion of the separatist movement, the Dawn Planet basically cut off contact with the Jedi Order, and naturally no more Force-sensitive people were sent to the Jedi Order.
"General, we can no longer move forward along the Hydia hyperspace channel. 15 parsecs away from here is the Arantian star system. In that star area are traitors who have joined the separatists. They are near their respective planets.
A hyperspace blocker has been set up. Now we can only transfer to the Corellian trade route, go to the planet Malastar, and then pass through the planet Naboo before we can reach Geonosis." The commander of this fleet was impressive.
It was Admiral Wolf Yularen. He turned around and said to Depa Billaba with great respect.
Not long ago, Chancellor Palpatine had just issued an order confirming that if a Jedi Knight is in the military, then the rank of a Jedi Master is equivalent to that of a general. If an army general is also present, then the status of the Jedi Master is higher.
To the general.
Therefore, the fleet commander, Admiral Wulf-Yularen, also has to obey Depa-Bilaba's command here.
"What are the separatist trends now? Is there any information coming from the direction of Geonosis?" Depa-Bilaba asked.
"At present, the separatists have launched attacks in 17 galaxies at the same time. The neutral galaxy Bespin has even been attacked by a large fleet of Dawn Planet. Overall, the situation is not optimistic. After comparison by intelligence personnel, after leaving the fleet station,
The separatist fleet that did not appear on any frontline battlefield should have been originally deployed in the direction of the planet Christophsis." Woolf-Yularen answered.
"I can feel that Master Yoda and Master Windu are safe at the moment, but the development of the war situation is changing rapidly, and we cannot afford more delays." Depa-Bilaba said.
"Then let's..." Yularen frowned.
"Continue to perform hyperspace jumps through the Hydia Channel. If it is a man-made blocker, I will be able to temporarily help the fleet break through. This is actually thanks to the hyperspace theory of Master Jolus Serbaos. It is a pity that he
He has died during overseas exploration operations," Depa-Bilaba said.
"But if we fail, maybe we will immediately be surrounded by the Separatist fleet." Yularen said.
Luna Huan interrupted from the side: "Ah, you old man, why are you so noisy? If the master says it can be done, then it can be done."
Luna Mengye said calmly: "If we take a detour from the Corellia trade route, the small warships in our fleet will have to go through more hyperspace jumps and replenish fuel. In that case, we will at least still be able to
It will take three days to reach Geonosis."
Depa-Bilaba nodded and said to the two sisters: "Then, when I stabilize the hyperspace channel, you also need to sense how my force works. This is the hyperspace I have told you many times.
theory."
…
The Bespin planet is an orange-yellow gas giant planet with a diameter of several kilometers. At its core is a metal core with a diameter of 6,000 kilometers.
Due to its huge size, Bespin's planet has extremely high pressure and high temperature. It also contains a large number of rare elements that are very rare in the galaxy, as well as very huge reserves that can be processed into weapons-grade explosive gases, and even some of them.
Many gases can also be used as conventional fuel for spacecraft after being refined.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If that's all, then Bespin is just a planet with great mining value, but sometimes you have to lament the magic of the Creator of the universe. Bespin's
Between the outermost 150 kilometers and 180 kilometers, there is an interlayer with a gas composition just right for life to survive.
This mezzanine is called the Bespin Life Zone.
After the Bespin Life Zone was discovered by interstellar explorers, it quickly attracted the attention of many people, and gas mines were opened here. In the era of the Old Republic, Bespin's main product was Tibana gas, which
The gas can be used as a coolant for the spacecraft's hyperspace engine and is very efficient.
Later, a Lord Ecolaxis-Fieg from the Corellian system discovered the greater potential of the Bespin planet. He extracted a kind of blaster ammunition from the endless gas of the Bespin planet.
of explosive gas.
Realizing the huge business opportunities, Lord Ecolasis immediately commissioned Income Company to build a huge floating city for him in the Bespin Life Zone - Cloud City.
After hundreds of years of development, Yuncheng has become a luxurious city integrating mining, production, tourism, and vacation, bringing countless wealth to Lord Figo's descendants every year.
And because of the rise of Cloud City, dozens of floating cities of different sizes have been built in the Bespin Life Zone, with a total of 6 million permanent residents living in them.
As the city continued to expand, more capital began to pour in. Corellia Engineering Company and Income Corporation became the largest investors after Lord Figo's personal consortium, owning a large number of industries here.
In recent years, the political situation of the Galactic Republic has been unstable and separatism has become increasingly fierce. However, the planet Bespin is making a lot of money in silence. They neither want to help the republic nor pay attention to the separatism.
So after the war between the two sides broke out, the leadership of the Bespin planet headed by Yun Cheng immediately announced that they would remain neutral.
Then……
Dawn Planet's fleet came over a few hours later.
Tang Xiao doesn't care whether you are neutral or not. Since the war has broken out, you are either my friend or my enemy! What's more, the Bespin planet is only 8 seconds away from the Endor system. Even a large-scale fleet invasion can be carried out within a few seconds.
It'll be there within an hour.
Coupled with Bespin's rich resources and convenient transportation - a very critical factor is that the planet Bespin is located at the end of the Corellian trade route, and the Corellian trade route is the most important hyperspace route in the galaxy.
1. The hyperspace of this route is very stable, and even the largest fleet can pass through it smoothly.
For example, the Bespin planet is like a mine next to the end of a subway line. Although the end station is a small station and there is no transfer line or anything, it is still on the subway line. Where to go?
All very convenient.
From this point of view, it gave Tang Xiao even more reason to capture this place. If the fleet of the Fourth Civilization passed through Bespin and then moved forward, it would be difficult for the Galactic Republic to keep track of the movements of his fleet!
You must know that the Bespin Life Zone is also within the scope of this gas giant planet. It is too easy to block information and hide the fleet here!
Due to this series of considerations, Tang Xiao arbitrarily modified the plan given to him by General Grievous to attack the planet Kriselist, and instead attacked the neutral planet Bespin!
The Bespin garrison and the nearby Galactic Republic local defense fleet had already known about the invasion of the Dawn Planet fleet. After Fleet A left hyperspace, they immediately assembled 150 warships to attack the fleet that had just left hyperspace and had not had time to deploy its shields.
Launched an assault!
Admiral Matt Horner, commander of Fleet A of the Fourth Civilization, personally visited the battlefield. He took command from a Sova-class aircraft carrier as the flagship. Around the aircraft carrier, there were three Blue Sky-class command ships assisting his command.
Every command is passed to every battleship and even every squad.
The first round of bombardment by the Republic fleet caused serious damage. The six Cole-class battlecruisers ahead of the attack were attacked by concentrated firepower because they were temporarily unable to open their shields. They suffered heavy damage immediately, and one of them lost combat effectiveness.
However, this is also the arrangement of Admiral Matt Horner. The Cole-class battlecruisers have very heavy armor. When the movements of the own fleet have been confirmed by the Republic, the thick-skinned Cole-class can bear it.
The first wave of firepower is the only option.
20 Xingzi-class drone maintenance ships immediately flew over to carry out emergency repairs on the 6 warships that had been damaged and had to withdraw from the battle sequence. Thousands of ball-shaped drones flew out and began intense work immediately, and there were 150 more
The SCV with an added engine also joined the maintenance work under the control of engineers.
"All warships, activate the shields! And concentrate the shield energy forward! The first detachment and the third detachment immediately rushed forward and took off 500 Vulture robot fighters to conduct a tentative attack!" Matt Horner immediately gave the order.
The 10 Cole-class battlecruisers immediately increased their power and attacked forward. At the same time, the side hangar platform unfolded, and densely packed Vulture robot fighters took off from it, viciously pounced on the Republic fleet.
Matt Horner looked at the data of the Republic fleet through the screen. The surrounding Blue Sky-class command ships had faithfully displayed the composition of the opponent's fleet on the screen.
The opponent's fleet is mainly composed of Corellia Engineering Company's warships, including 30 of the most advanced CR-90 frigates, which are 150 meters long and are the latest frigates developed and built by Corellia Engineering Company.
It can be said that it is the strongest among the 100-meter class battleships in terms of firepower, versatility and solid structure.
In addition, there are 70 DP-20 gunboats with a length of 120 meters, 40 relatively backward CR-70 frigates, and their main battleships - 10 Corellian defense cruisers with a length of 850 meters (this kind of battleship has no specific
name, but the setting mentions that the Corellian Engineering Corporation uses a warship larger than the Cheer-class to defend its industry).
Facing the attack of 500 Vulture robot fighters, the Republic fleet also immediately took off hundreds of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets. 70 DP-20 gunboats immediately dispersed to the periphery of the fleet formation, and powerful and precise firepower instantly poured into the Vulture robots.
On a fighter plane.
These Vulture fighters were used to delay time. After all the battleships completed the action of restarting their shields, Matt Horner decisively ordered, "The second and fourth groups of the Cole-class battlecruisers immediately began to launch electromagnetic guns."
Recharge! The first and third groups launch an assault! Do not take off fighter jets! The Higra-class battlecruisers immediately maneuver to both sides! The Rukrihuk-class battleships immediately prepare to land in Cloud City! The Sova-class aircraft carrier formation deploys unmanned missiles
Platform, build a line of defense to protect landing operations!”
Countless orders began to be issued. The 10 Cole-class battlecruisers that had previously rushed forward immediately accelerated their assault after completing the opening of their shields. The four heavy laser cannons on the bow of the ship opened fire instantly!
