While Dunne-Wessex was planning a counterattack, Severance Tann launched a long-planned offensive against the industrial center of the Galactic Empire and the fortress planet that prevented the Kingdom of Dawn from invading the inner ring - Fondo (
Fondor's attack has finally begun!
At 6 a.m. on August 20th, Galaxy Standard Time, the Dawn Kingdom’s fleet set off from the planet Yago-Dur and entered a hyperspace jump state.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, with a burst of white light, the Dawn Kingdom fleet left the hyperspace state, arrived at an area 60 light minutes away from the Fangduo planet, and began to reorganize the fleet.
Severance Tann brought almost all the main battleships of the Dawn Kingdom's first and second task forces, with a total of 900 main battleships! Follow-up forces continued to arrive, and by 21:00 on August 20, various auxiliary battleships
The number of medium and small battleships has also reached more than 5,000. Among them, 250 are the most advanced and powerful Minotaur-class heavy cruisers!
The first multi-planet battle broke out completely!
The Fondo planet is the second planet in the Fondo system. The Kingdom of Dawn fleet is currently located roughly near the orbit of the third planet. Severance Tann deployed her fleet within the gravity well of the third planet.
, let the fleet maintain the orbit of Planet 3.
According to the current positions between the orbits of Planet Fangduo and Planet No. 3, the two planets will be roughly in the same direction of the star in the center of the galaxy in the next two years.
The Kingdom of Dawn fleet, which also includes 20 Raz-class heavy engineering ships, began to build a space port around Planet 3. At the same time, it also dispatched specialized mining engineering ships to start landing on the desolate Planet 3, establishing a planetary mine and
Some heavy-duty facilities.
It seems that Severance Tann is determined to fight a protracted war. But what is a little strange is that the facilities she has arranged and the permanent location of the fleet are all on the other side of Planet Three, that is to say
Unless she pokes her head out, Planet Three is standing between her fleet and Fangduo Planet.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn includes 2 Ankeron-class Titan battleships, 10 Apocalypse-class battleships, 10 Archon-class aircraft carriers, 20 Sova-class aircraft carriers, 450 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, and Doomsday Arena-class battleships.
Such a powerful and terrifying fleet is the first time that the Fourth Civilization has appeared in this galaxy! And because of the power of this fleet during the battle on the planet Kira, the commander of the Galactic Empire fleet had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.
Octavian Grant, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, personally took command on the Fangdo planet. At the same time, Admiral Gideon Tarkin, the younger brother of Wilhelm Tarkin, the governor of the Fourth Army, also served as the deputy in this battle.
Commander in Chief.
The commander-in-chief is naturally Darth Vader, but the fleet he leads is still being repaired and assembled in the center of the empire and has not arrived at the Fondo planet.
Currently, the fleet stationed on Fangduo Planet includes 1,300 capital ships, including one Executor-class super Star Destroyer USS Morak as the flagship, and 6 Commander II-class dreadnoughts. In terms of fleet composition, it is mainly Imperial-class destroyers.
The number of starships reached more than 800.
At the same time, Planet Fangduo has already been prepared. The highest level of planetary shield has been activated, and almost all the orbital defense systems of the entire planet are prepared, including more than 120 sets of V-150 Planet Defender orbital cannons.
In the outer synchronous orbit of the planet, there are also a large number of space docks, armed space stations, space ports, and a large number of missile platforms.
Not only that, on Fangduo Planet, a planet that has been completely factory-oriented, countless factories have been under construction day and night, sending all kinds of war materials, including warships and missiles, to outer space.
At a distance of 5 to 10 light minutes from the planet, more than 120 billion air mines are deployed!
And in order to meet the huge material needs of Fangduo Planet and the navigation needs of the huge fleet of 3,000 capital ships that the imperial military is planning, Fangduo Planet has begun to build a hyperspace stabilizer.
This kind of hyperspace stabilizer was invented by Quat Power Shipyard and was once used to raid the Model Sector. It is an improved version of the device that can stabilize the hyperspace channel. The improved version of the hyperspace stabilizer can already be used in ordinary hyperspace channels.
The main function is actually very simple, which is to use the built-in navigation system to help the passing fleet perform navigation calculations, and at the same time stabilize the hyperspace fluctuations caused by large-scale navigation. In other words, all spaceships that jump through the hyperspace stabilizer,
The effect is equivalent to increasing the level of the hyperspace engine by about two levels. The hyperspace jump speed is faster, the distance is longer, and the number of warships that can navigate is greater.
However, compared with Stargate Technology, this device is completely a beggar's version of a beggar's version. It is already the highest hyperspace technology in the Galactic Empire.
But now it is being used on the Fangduo planet. This hyperspace stabilizer, which is expected to be completed within half a month, will bring an endless stream of reinforcements and supplies to the planet.
The Supreme Military Command of the Galactic Empire issued a death order to the defenders of Fangduo Planet: defend the planet to the death, never retreat, and completely block the separatist fleet here!
Once the planet falls, all officers from Captain Octavian Grant to captain and above will be killed!!
…
At three o'clock in the morning on August 21, 50 Paladin-class battlecruisers and 60 Catastrophe-class battlecruisers began to fire on multiple enemy planets!
The dazzling light of the particle light spear began to shine, and 110 beams of light pierced the Fangduo planet and surrounding space facilities.
100 Cole-class battlecruisers also used their own 40-meter-caliber super-matter electromagnetic guns to bomb the planet. Although the speed of the giant projectiles fired by the super-matter electromagnetic guns is almost a turtle speed compared to the particle light spear, it has unlimited power after all.
The range is still somewhat effective in bombarding planetary defense facilities.
The bombardment of particle light spears and super-matter electromagnetic guns set off violent explosions in the space facilities around the Fangduo planet! Occasionally, attacks that landed on the planetary shield would also cause ripples of energy.
However, an attack of this level cannot shake the defense of Fangduo Planet. Almost at the same time as the bombing began, countless engineering ships took off to repair damaged parts, replace overloaded shield capacitors, and weld cracked
Main armor belt.
Everything is so orderly.
In the face of Fangduo Planet's huge and almost unlimited industrial production capacity, their defensive power will only increase!
This painless bombing continued. However, around 15:00 that afternoon, a sudden change occurred!
The hyperspace sensor of the Imperial Fleet's flagship Morak, the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, suddenly sounded an alarm, and less than a minute later, an armed space station on the outskirts of the planet Fondo suddenly exploded!!
The explosion was so violent that it destroyed this large space station with a length of more than 10,000 meters almost in an instant! The diameter of the fireball produced at the moment of the explosion was almost 20,000 meters! The power of the explosion even affected several other surrounding space facilities! There was also a
A nearby Imperial-class Star Destroyer was blown away in the explosion, and its deflector shield was shattered. The warship kept spinning for more than 3,000 kilometers before barely stopping!
The horrific explosion stunned everyone, including Sector Governor Octavian Grant and Deputy Commander Gideon Tarkin.
What is this? What happened? How was it done?
No one could answer them, only the countless burning fragments and wreckage flying around the area where the explosion just occurred.
