2182, the final period of Tarkinism (Part 2)

"So this is Tarkin's trump card? This kind of strange spaceship. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." On the bridge of the Providence-class cruiser Invincible, the flagship of the Confederate fleet, Admiral Trench said in a deep voice while looking at the battlefield images, "

The side-class guided missile cruiser is slow, has small shield capacity, weak armor, and cannot carry fighter jets. However, its only advantage is that it has strong firepower and is one of the few warships that can launch diamond boron missiles. This time, in order to attack our effective forces

, the Republic has really spent a lot of money... Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

The T-series tactical robot standing next to him echoed in a rigid voice: "The cost of diamond boron missiles is too high and cannot even be equipped on large battleships like the Jaeger-class cruiser. Otherwise, one battle will be enough to bankrupt the Republic."

.And under the cover of this strange warship that is not in the database, the broadside-class guided missile cruiser can also maximize its firepower. According to the battle situation simulation, our fleet does not have enough firepower to break through the shield of this umbrella-shaped warship, and

The opponent's 30 broadside-class guided missile cruisers alone are enough to destroy two-thirds of our warships in half an hour."

"So this arrangement is for our Blade Fleet, tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Trench touched the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Tarkin is more restless than I thought. He probably wants to

Forcing us to fight head-on. After he ordered the orbital bombardment, there is no possibility for us to retreat on this battlefield. If we continue to retreat despite suffering orbital bombardment, the morale of the entire Confederation of Independent Systems will be seriously damaged.

Blow...tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

After saying that, he turned to look at the tactical robot next to him and asked: "You mean, there is no information about this kind of umbrella battleship in our database?"

"Not really." The tactical robot replied.

"This kind of warship is called a shield ship, and it is not a military ship." Emma Frost suddenly cut into the communication and said: "This kind of ship is mainly used for the main planet of the Asega system, the Encron planet. Encron planet contains

It is very rich in minerals, and is rich in a rare metal called Hefredite, which has extremely high economic value. However, because the star in the Arcega galaxy is very unstable, and the Encron planet is very close to this star, so ordinary

The mining spacecraft will be completely destroyed by the gamma ray burst emitted by the star before it even approaches the planet."

Emma pointed to the Republic fleet array in front and continued: "So, this kind of spacecraft specially designed to resist the harsh environment of the Encron planet was born. This kind of shield ship is equipped with an extremely powerful shield generation array, which can generate a

A deflector shield with an extremely wide range and extremely high strength. Not only that, there are a large number of cooling and heat dissipation devices on the umbrella-shaped hull of the shield ship. Even if it is directly hit by a turbolaser cannon, the high temperature on the turbolaser will not cause too much damage.

Huge damage. All spaceships mining on the Encron planet need to be protected by shield ships in order to successfully mine the Herfred mine."

Admiral Trench tapped his palm with his pointer and said: "So, if it is a regular fleet battle, this kind of shield ship will have no effect at all against a flexible fighter group, and if I guessed correctly, the shield ship

The cost of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is extremely high and cannot withstand the consumption on the battlefield. But it is different if you are facing the Blade Fleet. The original intention of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is mainly for artillery battles. It has powerful artillery and shields, but the ship

There are very few carrier aircraft. So if you want to destroy the Blade Fleet, this kind of shield ship will become a trump card... Tsk tsk tsk tsk... But how do you know that there is information that is not even in the database of tactical robots? General Emma

.”

"I am Count Dooku's disciple, so I naturally have my own information channels." Emma answered somewhat vaguely, but there was no flaw in this answer. After all, it was impossible for her to say that all this information came from only the Guardians.

It is included in the "Star Wars" setting collection that is only available on the planet.

Trench did not dwell on this, "Now that Tarkin has played his trump card, let's wait to reap the fruits of victory. Wait for the Blade Fleet to arrive, and delay the time before doing so."

"Do you have to wait for the Blade Fleet? Oh... Okay, I understand, you really want to eat Tarkin's fleet in one bite." Emma said, and she looked at Trench again, "I understand.

In your opinion, Tarkin, as the initiator of the orbital bombing order, must be punished. I agree with this."

Trench looked at Emma, ​​there seemed to be some resentment in his eyes.

In the ensuing battle, the Confederate fleet once again distanced itself from the Republic fleet and launched an artillery battle from a distance. Admiral Tarkin also ordered to stop firing diamond boron missiles. After all, once this missile is fired, 1.5 V-wing fighters

The money is gone. If he didn't hate the Guardian Planet so much, Chancellor Palpatine would not agree to use such a luxurious weapon. In fact, the broadside-class guided missile cruiser is gradually no longer used because of the diamond boron missile.

Used and in a semi-decommissioned state, this time the broadside stage of the S fleet was pulled out of the warehouse.

After the two sides were in a stalemate for 10 hours, there was a flicker in the universe. 193 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers escaped from the hyperspace jump and appeared on the battlefield!! The Blade Fleet is coming!!

The holographic images of Catherine Weaver and Tang Jiu appeared on the bridge of the Invincible. Catherine nodded at Trench and said: "The maintenance of the Blade Fleet has been completed, and this battle will be under your command."

"Assault the entire army! Advance at full speed! Directly engage in close combat!" Trench immediately issued the order.

"Based on the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves, this order may cause us to lose at least half of our warships." Catherine Weaver said.

"They will not have this chance." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Emma Frost's mouth, "The Republic fleet that saw me fight was completely destroyed. They will never understand that under the White Queen

With the help of No. 1, how far can I achieve..."

…

"General! The opponent's blade fleet has arrived on the battlefield!" The radar soldier turned back and said to Admiral Tarkin.

"Hehehehe, I really want to interview the commander of the other party. Are you desperate? Even though you know that you will lose, you still have to send your own fleet to die. Hehehehe... How many blade fleets are there now?

Battleship?" Tarkin asked.

"193 ships, General."

"Record it in my diary that during the Battle of Mulkana, I, Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin, annihilated the entire Blade Fleet that was stolen by the Separatists." Tarkin said proudly.

Wave your hands.

"Yes!" the adjutant next to him answered loudly.

"General, the separatist fleet has begun to move towards us at full speed." The radar soldier turned back to report.

"Be prepared, this will be our day of glory! Let's harvest the honor that belongs to us!!" Tarkin said slowly, and he did not forget to give battle instructions, "The whole army moves forward and welcomes them! The shield ship opens its shield.

, the broadside-class guided missile cruiser launched another diamond boron missile at a distance of 300 kilometers!"

"yes!!"

…

The Republic fleet no longer stood firm, but rushed towards the Confederate fleet at full speed. The distance between the two sides quickly closed! The explosive laser beams fired by the turbolaser cannons continued to flash in the universe!

On the bridge of one of the shield ships, the captain turned around and gave the order: "Open the shield! Adjust the position of the battleship, x-axis coordinate 339, z-axis coordinate 053..."

"Understood, turn on the shield, adjust the position, x-axis coordinate is 339, z-axis coordinate is 053..." the operator repeated.

The shield ship immediately deployed a giant deflector shield with a diameter of 80 kilometers, and began to adjust its position in the Giandou formation to ensure that the shield could cover enough Republic warships.

However, at this moment, at least half of the officers on the bridge, including the captain, suddenly shook their bodies, and then their eyes became blank. The captain slowly took out his blaster pistol and pointed it at

A soldier in front was concentrating on controlling the spacecraft... Phew! The blaster beam flashed past!

At the same time, the soldiers with strange expressions on the bridge also pulled out their weapons and opened fire on their colleagues! In a matter of tens of seconds, the entire bridge was covered in blood!

After looking at the 'normal' soldiers on the bridge, the captain suddenly showed a strange smile and said slowly: "Lower the shield... left full rudder..."

"Understood, lower the shield, full left rudder." The controller repeated the instructions with a confused look on his face.
Chapter completed!
