Bloody Battle At Bespin (6)

The powerful Fleet of the Galactic Republic consists of 60 Venator-class Star Destroyers. The most powerful part is not the Battleships with powerful Deflector Shields and unreasonable Weapon layouts but still fierce firepower, but the entire 9000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters, 4800 Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters and 1800 BTL-B Y-wing Bombers!

This is also the reason why Starfighters have the upper hand in the current spiral of Technological Development in the Galaxy.

At present, the Kuat Drive Yards represent the highest Shipbuilding Technology in the Galaxy. The Point Defense System they produce can intercept Starfighters flying at an acceleration of 100G, however, the theoretical maximum acceleration of current Starfighters is generally above 3000G! Even if it is ordinary people driving, they can break through 100G acceleration with enough concentration.

Therefore, a Starfighter will be able to cause considerable damage to a Battleship before it is shot down by the Anti-Aircraft Defense System. This damage is far greater than that of a Missile of the same price, and it is also much more effective than a Turbolaser.

That's why the Venator-class Star Destroyer, a relatively deformed aviation Battleship model, was born. Since this kind of Warship has been given such a large carrying capacity, it is better to continue to stuff some AT-TE Walkers, LATT Gunships and the like go in, and then the 2,000-strong Republic Marine Corps is even more perfect. Of course, since the Ground Troops are already carried, it is definitely necessary to enter the atmosphere for fire support work, so a large number of Turrets have been installed.

In the end, it became such a Multi-Functional Battleship that can do everything but can't do anything well. Even speaking, even as a Carrier, the Venator-class Star Destroyer is not as good as a pure dedicated Carrier.

Compare the Sova-class Carrier of the Fourth Civilization, which is 1300 meters long and can carry a maximum of 500 Wraith Starfighters or 1400 Vulture Droid Starfighters. However, due to the shortage of Pilots in the Fourth Civilization, each Sova-class Carrier is equipped with 100 Wraith Starfighters and 900 Vulture Droid Starfighters.

This carrying capacity is actually much larger than that of the Venator-class, because the Wraith Starfighter is a Heavy-Duty Fighter, and its size is compared to the ARC-170 Starfighter of the Galactic Republic, and the Venator-class is only designed to carry 36 ARC-170 Starfighters of its class.

Moreover, as a purely dedicated Carrier, although the Sova-class Carrier also has Capital Guns, they are basically used for self-defense. The Sova-class has a completely dedicated Flight Control System on the huge bridge, a completely dedicated Maintenance System for Starfighters in the huge Hangar, and 4 Ejection Runways, which can take off 20 Starfighters at a time, allowing the Starfighters to reach The acceleration of 50G, this point and directly opening the Hangar Platform, allowing the Starfighter to take off with the Anti-Gravity Engine, and then slowly accelerating is an advantage.

But no matter what, on the side of the Galactic Republic, more is justice!

A total of 60 Venator-class Star Destroyers and 15,600 Starfighters. Artillery battles can at least remain undefeated, and on the battlefield of Starfighters, this number can be crushed directly!

Even though Matt Horner's Fleet A has 9,000 Vulture Droid Starfighters, he must allocate more than half of the Starfighters to defend the Floating Cities on Bespin, and these Starfighters are all 3.6 meters long and ultra-light compared with the Republic's V-19 Torrent Starfighter, the firepower of the Starfighter is not at the same level.

Tang Xiao knew about their designs before the advent of the Venator-class Destroyer, so the Fourth Civilization, which uses the Galactic Republic as its imaginary enemy, has always been targeting this kind of Starfighter sea tactics.

In order to target the Elite Starfighter force of the Republic, Tang Xiao prepared three major Weapons for them—a Stealth Fighter, an Anti-Aircraft Destroyer, and one more, which Matt Horner still holds in his hand. He knew that even though the Galactic Republic had lost thousands of Starfighters, this was only one-sixteenth of the 15,600 Starfighters they carried.

150 Garda-class Flak Destroyers had already arrived at Bespin when Matt Horner built the line of defense, and It is also with the help of these Anti-Aircraft Destroyers that the 2,500 Vulture Droid Starfighters launched by the Fourth Civilization Fleet can compete with the Republic's Fleet.

When the Galactic Republic Fleet took off the third batch of Starfighters, Matt Horner finally took out his trump card - the Wraith Starfighter!

And all of them are equipped with Cloaking Devices!

300 Wraith Starfighters took off from the ejection runway of the Sova-class Carrier, approached the Starfighter Group of the Republic without anyone noticing, and then launched a one-sided massacre!

In fact, the Galactic Republic also has Stealth Technology, but because of the Russan Reform, the Galactic Republic has basically not developed Military Technology, and Stealth Technology has also been stagnant. After all, what the Republic was thinking at this time was that once Stealth Technology was invented and flowed out, it could be said to be a devastating blow to the order management of the Galaxy's Trade Routes.

After 1,000 years, they picked up their own Weapons again. The Officers and Soldiers of the Republic, even up to Sheev Palpatine and down to an ordinary Pilot. They never thought that anyone could equip Stealth Fighters on such a large scale!

The powerful Tracking System of the Venator-class Star Destroyers can indeed detect Stealthy Wraith Starfighters, but this will greatly reduce their Tracking and Locking Distance, and the System Response Speed will also drop a lot, but the Airborne Radars of those Starfighters can only detect the signal of the Wraith almost within 10 kilometers, and it is very weak. For space combat, this distance is almost the same as that of a blind man!

It is also impossible for the Flight Control Command Center to direct every Starfighter to fight with another group of Starfighters. In this ever-changing chaotic battlefield, you may have just issued an order, and the opposite side has changed its position several times.

The 300 Stealthed Wraith Starfighters are like tigers entering the flock, easily slaughtering the Starfighter Group of the Republic. Jedi Master Glynn-Beti, who commanded the operation, immediately issued an order to retreat, but the third batch of Starfighter Groups, including 1,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters and 1,000 Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters which were able to return to their own Battleships, only less than a quarter survived!

Not only that, but Glynn-Beti also recalled the second batch of Starfighters that were cleaning up those Gauss Defense Platforms. Now there are more than 90 Gauss Defense Platforms still surviving, and they are still tirelessly bombarding the Warships of the Republic.

"General! Going on like this is not an option." The Commander of the Republic Fleet looked worried, turned to Glynn-Beti and said, "The other party's Kol-class Battlecruiser has powerful Kinetic Railguns, and the scan results have already come out, the diameter of the Muzzle is 40 meters, and a smaller Spaceship can dance in the barrel! It is this kind of Railgun that makes us have to open the Deflector Shield all the time, and the energy consumption of the Deflector Shield is huge. In addition ..."

"Stealth Starfighter." Glynn-Beti said with a serious face, "The sense of crisis in my heart is getting more and more serious. The recovery of Bespin this time will not be as simple as we imagined."

"What is the origin of Dawn? How could such a Planet with a diameter of only 4,900 kilometers have such terrifying Technological and Industrial capabilities!" The Admiral took a deep breath.

"The common rumor is that they came from a Planet destroyed by war. Some intelligence personnel believe that their origin is from the Unknown Regions, and they appointed a female Chiss as an Admiral, which is also one of the pieces of evidence." Glynn-Beti said, and said to the Communication Soldier next to her: "Send the combat data of the Wraith Starfighter to the Scientific Research Department immediately!"
