Ghost fighter planes took off from the hangar on the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, but they did not stay in space, but directly activated the shield and rushed into the planet Christophsis.
The standard aircraft load on each Behemoth-class battlecruiser is 24 Phantom fighters [Note 1], and a total of 240 fighters entered the atmosphere and flew directly over Crystal City to join the air battle.
After the addition of these stealth fighters, the Republic Air Force, which was completely unprepared for anti-stealth work, suddenly suffered a major blow. More than 70 fighter jets were shot down, and then returned to the range of the landing Cheer-class assault landing ships. Relying on the battleships
Use a powerful radar tracking system to fight against stealth fighters.
However, the small number of Phantom fighters does not really intend to compete with the massive fighters of the Galactic Republic for air supremacy. They are just ensuring that General Worm-Lotham no longer drops bombs all day long.
.
Under the cover of the Ghost fighter planes, approximately 80 APOD-33 transport aircraft landed within the control range of the Independent System Confederacy Robot Legion, but there was no further movement.
Worm was very curious about this, but those transport planes showed no intention of opening the hatches, and Severance Tann would not explain anything to him.
When night fell in Crystal City, these transport planes quietly took off and flew in the direction of Crystal City without any air cover.
At the same time, General Worm-Lotham's ground forces and Admiral Trench's fleet also received notifications from General Severance Tann, telling them to immediately prepare for battle and begin the attack.
…
"...I understand, since the situation on the space battlefield is unfavorable, then I have to open up the situation as soon as possible on the ground, while we still have some advantages." Anakin Skywalker looked at the holographic projection.
Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "I will plan a counterattack after dawn."
"Don't act rashly, Anakin. At least for now, our forces have no problem holding on to the existing positions. According to our analysis, the two new types of warships of the Separatists are not suitable for sustained operations. Our sensors have also detected their warships.
Missiles are being replenished, so we will fight against this in the next battle. You have to remember that the Republic and the Jedi Order are our backing, and their small fleet should not be an obstacle to us." Ou.
Bewan-Kenobi said earnestly.
"Okay, then you can fight well in the space battlefield, master." Anakin said perfunctorily and closed the communication.
"I think we should listen to your master, Tianxingzi. I heard that we lost 900 fighter jets in just ten minutes yesterday." Ahsoka Tano was sitting on the table nearby. She was very tall.
It's so small that as soon as I sit on it, my legs are dangling in the air and swaying there.
"If you don't want me to write down your disrespectful comments on the teacher in the report, then stop calling me by this title! Little devil." Anakin retorted, "Okay, now we should make a plan as soon as possible.
…”
"Hmph! Attack plan, right?" Ahsoka angrily completed his next words.
"Ah, it seems you have begun your studies, little apprentice..." Anakin said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded, and the radar soldier on duty immediately shouted loudly: "There is something strange about the separatist army! They have left the station and are heading towards Crystal City!!"
Anakin snorted coldly, "I haven't even gone to trouble them, but they actually came to my door!"
"I think it's because of the more than 200 Phantom fighters they had reinforced from space. With air power, they started attacking," Captain Rex said.
"Inform all units to enter combat status. Ahsoka, Rex, follow me! Since the robots have taken the initiative to attack, we have an opportunity. We will lead a commando team and penetrate into the core of the enemy!"
Anakin waved and gave the order.
The sound of explosions soon sounded in the direction of the front line. This was the firing of AV-7 artillery. Soon, more explosions were heard. The Ghost Fighter Squadron of the Confederation of Independent Systems headed this way after the AV-7 cannon opened fire and exposed its position.
Pounce on them and bombard them indiscriminately.
Hundreds of thousands of B-1 combat robots lined up in an array and advanced towards the Crystal City defense position, firing continuously as they advanced. Red blasters rained down on them, even the sky turned red.
After Rex and his most elite Torrent Company were ready, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were preparing to set off. At this time, the radar soldier in the command center suddenly said: "Separatism detected
Transport planes! There are 80 of them. They are spreading out to various parts of the city without escort!"
Anakin Skywalker, who wanted to attack immediately and capture the thief first, undoubtedly had him. Although he also felt a sense of crisis from these places, on this battlefield, the sense of crisis is everywhere. He just said:
"Take off fighter jets and shoot down all these transport planes! If you can't shoot down or other situations occur, let me know."
"yes!"

[Note 1: Regarding the sizes of the units in "StarCraft", I would like to explain here. Since there is no official data, they are basically estimates, or comparisons based on data released by some unofficial channels. For example, giant
Although there is no size data for the Beast-class battlecruiser, some things can be found. For example, the number of crew members is 6,000, the aircraft capacity is 24 Phantom fighters, and there are also transport aircraft used to transport troops. The number is not too large.
It can transport hundreds to thousands of troops and equipment. These data are clearly available, so it can be seen from these that the size of the Behemoth class cannot be too small. 1300 meters. I forgot where I saw it before.
, but based on the above, I think this size is more reasonable.
The other thing about the Hyperion is that it is Mengsk's flagship. However, this battleship was originally a standard Behemoth class and belonged to the Tyranid Federation Navy. It was later snatched by the Sons of Korhal as the flagship, so it was not used as the flagship.
It was not built according to flagship specifications from the beginning. As for subsequent modifications, no matter how you modify it, it is impossible to change the structure of the battleship, right? So I think the Hyperion is also the standard size of the Behemoth class, even if there are differences.
No more than one tenth.
Finally, based on the data I have obtained by combining all aspects of information, the Minotaur-level is tentatively 550 meters and the Gorgon-level is 2,500 meters. Of course, there is no official data to support it, so everyone can speak freely.]
