In the cosmic space around the planet Bespin, hundreds of warships are firing on all cylinders, countless missiles and lasers are flashing, and against the background of the orange planet, red fires are exploding one after another, and there are even
The light blue space collapse caused by the explosion of a proton torpedo.
Densely packed Vulture robot fighters flew around the Republic fleet like flies at high speed, while constantly firing lasers and proton torpedoes. The Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets of the Republic fleet relied on this DP-20 gunboat for defense. In the DP specially developed for small fighters
Under the firepower of -20 gunships, the Vulture robot fighters were destroyed in pieces, turning into garbage floating in space.
"The opponent's 20 warships are turning around the flanks!" the radar soldier reported loudly.
"They want to forcefully land in Cloud City and stop them!" Fleet Commander Santamaria immediately ordered, "The CR-90 frigate formation fired salvos at the opponent's outflanking warships! Notify the fighter jets to break away from the formation and intercept the opponent's warships!"
"Concentrated energy response detected within the Separatist fleet!" a soldier shouted.
"Asshole! Do they still have a secret weapon?" Santamaria called up the information about the Cole-class battlecruiser in the database. However, just like Mabel Garson during the Battle of Geonosis two days ago, he saw
What we arrived at was one piece after another of the unknown.
A moment later, a dazzling light emitted from the rear of the Dawn Planet fleet. Almost at the same time, the largest Corellian defense cruisers in the Republic fleet emitted bursts of violent explosions!
"Report! We encountered fire from the enemy's extremely powerful kinetic energy weapons!"
"The Lang's shields are overloaded!"
"Dead Lake lost contact and the bridge was visually destroyed!"
With a bang, Santamaria punched the console, "They actually secretly developed such a powerful kinetic energy weapon!"
"General, unless our deflector shield concentrates all its energy on kinetic energy protection, it will be impossible to block the opponent's shots. And if it concentrates on kinetic energy protection, the opponent's high-power laser will also cause us great losses.
." A technician turned back and said.
Another staff officer said from the side: "The one that is detouring to the flank is the Hiigara-class battlecruiser. According to the records in the database, the two main guns of the Hiigara-class battlecruiser are more powerful than every type of battleship we have.
We are all strong and cannot take the risk of exposing our fleet to the attack of the Hiigaran-class main guns!"
"Retreat immediately! Disperse the formation, let's go back and rely on Cloud City to defend!" Santamaria made a prompt decision and issued the order to retreat.
Lord Santamaria, a Corellian noble, initially served in the Corellian Defense Fleet, and later went to Bespin as a military commander for family business. After the Confederation of Independent Systems announced its establishment, and declared war with the Galactic Republic,
After Republic Speaker Sheev Palpatine announced the formal establishment of the Grand Republic Army, he discussed with Miera Figo, the current leader of Cloud City, and decided to remain neutral in the war.
In order to express their determination to be neutral, they expelled the envoys of the Republic, and also directly rejected the solicitation of the Confederation of Independent Systems through communications, expressing the same intention to both parties - to remain neutral, welcome to do business, and avoid discussing other matters.
But less than five hours after they issued the declaration of neutrality, information came immediately that a large fleet of the Dawn Planet had left the Annaji planet, and judging from the hyperspace route response, their destination was Bespin!
Seeing that the Separatist fleet trampled on their declaration of neutrality without hesitation for a minute, Miela Figo sent a serious warning to the Dawn Planet and asked for help from the Galactic Republic. And she also asked Santamaria
Command Bespin's defense forces and try to delay the arrival of Republic reinforcements.
Then, an hour later, the planet Bespin issued a public declaration, stating that it was resolute to safeguard the unity of the Republic and to fight against separatism.
In front of the huge fleet of Dawn Planet, Bespin couldn't care less about the fact that they had just kicked out the Republic's envoy a few hours ago and declared that they would not help each other to maintain neutrality.
The Republic Strategic Command also responded quickly. It immediately established a unified command channel with the Bespin defense forces, and immediately began to mobilize reinforcements for support. At the same time, it reported the course and orientation of the Separatist fleet detected by their hyperspace detection station.
Share it.
Knowing that the enemy was outnumbered, Santamaria immediately formulated a battle plan. He gathered 150 warships with the best condition and the most powerful firepower among the Bespin defense forces. After knowing the opponent's hyperspace jump coordinates in advance, he took advantage of the opportunity.
When the opponent did not open the shield, a salvo directly severely damaged 6 Cole-class battlecruisers.
However, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Cole-class battlecruisers and Higra-class battlecruisers. Even if they suffered a blow, the Fourth Civilization Fleet A was still under the impeccable command of Matt Horner and sacrificed 500 vulture robots.
At the cost of fighter planes, stand firm and launch a counterattack.
But when Santamaria commanded the fleet to retreat, the 10 Higra-class battlecruisers that were outflanking launched a fierce bombardment at them. At the same time, the opponent's Cole-class battlecruisers also began to speed up.
Moving forward, the four large laser cannons on the bow of the ship continuously fired X-rays to shine on the warships of the Republic Fleet.
The Republic fleet retreated faster and faster, eventually losing its formation completely and becoming a mess.
At this time, 10 Sova-class aircraft carriers had already arrived at Yuncheng, and 80 unmanned missile platforms were deployed outside Yuncheng to completely blockade Yuncheng.
On the way back, Santamaria's fleet ran into the defense line constructed by the unmanned missile platform, and the formation was once again scattered. They had to leave Cloud City and run to the direction of several other floating cities to reorganize.
After breaking up Bespin's fleet, the huge figures of six Rookery Hook-class battleships slowly approached Cloud City.
The more than 1 million residents in Cloud City watched in utter horror as the huge shadow in the sky blocked the light of the stars bit by bit, and the huge hull with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters blocked the sky and the sun!
The Sova-class aircraft carrier released more than 400 ghost fighters. These fighters used pulse laser cannons and air-to-ground missiles to violently bomb the outside of Yuncheng against the air defense firepower outside Yuncheng!
After destroying the anti-aircraft firepower in a corner of Cloud City, dozens of C-9979 transport aircraft and 200 APOD-33 transport aircraft took off from the Rookery Hook-class battleship, fully loaded with B-1 combat robots and the Fourth Civilization Army.
