Chapter 2087: The Battle of Christophsis (Part 1)
2087. The Battle of Christopher Sith (Part 1)
Christopher Sis planet, outer space.
A fleet consisting of two Providence-class cruisers, four Disobedient-class destroyers, and three Generosity-class frigates escorted a Rookie Hook-class battleship in the center of the array, arranged in a defensive formation and hovering at a distance from Chris A place 100,000 kilometers away from the planet Tofusis.
This Rookie Hook-class battleship serves as the flagship of this fleet, although this type of battleship was originally refitted from a cargo ship and has many shortcomings. For example, the donut-like shape makes the turret layout of the spacecraft very unsatisfactory, and there are many dead spots for shooting. Once the local space fighters approach, the close-in firepower of the battleship cannot effectively attack the opponent's fighters. It is also easy to hit yourself when shooting. Moreover, the armor of this battleship is very weak. Once the deflector shield is broken, even the firepower of a few bombers is enough to deal a fatal blow to this giant battleship with a diameter of 3170 meters.
However, the Rookie Hook-class battleship also has incomparable advantages. First of all, the spherical core spaceship with a diameter of 1029 meters in the middle of the donut has a huge carrying capacity, and can even carry up to more than 300,000 B-1 robots. ! Moreover, the hangar platform on the ring has a very large space, which can hold 1,500 vulture robot fighters and 50 C-9979 transport aircraft. If you sacrifice some space for loading robots, you can even put down more than 6,000 AAT tanks!
And although the turret can't cover the blind spots of the spacecraft itself, once the distance is widened, the firepower of the Rucrehook-class battleship is also very strong in long-range artillery battles! It is equipped with 42 large quadruple turbolaser turrets, 472 medium laser turrets, 164 point defense laser turrets, and 48 fixed turbolaser cannons! In long-range artillery battles, the Rookiehook-class battleship can fire while spinning, allowing the turbolaser cannons that rotate to the rear to cool down and recharge time, so that the firepower of the battleship can continue!
Therefore, every time the Republic sees the Lukelihook-class battleship, it is unwilling to let its own battleship fight recklessly, but will concentrate a large number of space fighters to attack. But even so, with that powerful firepower and powerful carrying capacity, even if there is only one Rucrehook-class battleship appearing, it often means the fall of a planet, which is beyond doubt.
In the Battle of Naboo 10 years ago, the Trade Federation used 12 Rucrehook-class battleships to show off their military power. The deterrent force of a battleship. It is also for this reason that it can be seen how crucial the 18 Rookiehook-class battleships that Emma Frost reversed the plot in the Battle of Geonosis for the Confederation of Independent Galaxies were saved!
On Cambridge, Hu Immortal kept sighing in his heart while browsing the information of the Rookie Hook-class battleship in the database. If the guardian empire on your side,
If the Lan Xiang team can own this kind of warship, even if it is one, then it can be said that they can walk sideways in the Platinum team!
It's a pity that after the Clone Wars, most of these battleships were dismantled by the empire, and owning such a battleship would be regarded as a felony by the empire. It is a very dangerous thing to obtain and bring back a battleship.
But at least the good news is that the battle on the ground is going very smoothly now, and the troops have surrounded Tofin, the largest city on the planet Christofsis. In fact, the population and cities on Christophsis are very dense, and the total population of this planet has reached a staggering 35 billion! This is also a common problem of many planets in the Galactic Republic-over-urbanization, overpopulation, slack armaments, and great dependence on supplies from other planets.
Therefore, the strategy determined by the Fox Immortal is to first capture Tofin and the capital of the planet Christofsis, before the defenders of this planet are assembled, to break down their will to resist. Then let the Confederation send more reinforcements to fully occupy the planet.
At this time, a human soldier of the guardian planet who manipulated the spacecraft probe turned his head and said loudly: "The response to the hyperspace jump was detected, the distance is 577 kilometers, and the number is 20!"
Admiral Trench, who had been sitting on the other side reading a book, stood up suddenly, opened the hologram, tapped the triangular red dot representing the enemy ship with the pointer in his hand, and said: "It seems that the fleet of the Republic is coming. Yes! Tut tut tut."
Hu Immortal also turned off the data he was looking at, stood up and asked the soldier, "How intense is the hyperspace reaction?"
"Judging from the reaction, there is no doubt that there are 20 hunter-class cruisers!" The human soldier replied loudly.
"Notify all ships to adjust their direction, and the bow is aligned with the direction of the enemy's attack! The flagship moves backwards, and the coordinates are 332.790! The first wave of vulture fighters takes off, the number is 400! Clear the airspace!" Admiral Trench immediately issued a series of instructions.
"Obey!"
"Obey!"
"Received." A series of responses came, including human soldiers and B-1 robots.
About 2,000 human soldiers from the guardian planet were selected to serve on this Rookie Hook-class battleship. They and more than 8,000 other B-1 robots that were originally equipped together formed the crew of the battleship to improve experience. The human soldiers who can be selected are all the best of the best, and with the help of the brain information injection system, they have already been familiar with the operation of the battleship.
At this time, more than 500 kilometers ahead, a burst of light suddenly flickered in the empty space, and then 20 battleships broke away from the hyperspace and suddenly appeared! These warships are all Jaeger-class cruisers, not even the Arquitense-class light cruisers for fire support. The Republic's determination to storm the blockade of the Christophsis planet is evident!
Seeing this comparison of troops, Hu Immortal also felt a little nervous. The forces on their side are two Providence-class cruisers, four Disobedient-class destroyers, three Generosity-class frigates, and one Rooklyhook-class battleship. Among them, only the Providence-class cruiser's combat effectiveness can be evenly matched with the Hunter-class cruiser, or even slightly inferior. And the other Disobedient-class destroyers and Generosity-class frigates are absolutely unable to defeat each other, not to mention the huge difference in strength!
The intervention of the guardian planet is like the wings of a butterfly, slowly affecting the course of the war. In the original plot, the Battle of Christophsis did not break out so quickly, but it broke out about 7 weeks after the battle of Jabim. Moreover, the strength of the Galactic Republic's first round of counterattacks was not so great. The first batch of reinforcements led by Anakin Skywalker had only 7 Jaeger-class cruisers.
However, after seeing the military strength of the guardian planet, Count Dooku ordered them to launch an attack on Jabim and Christophsis at the same time, which brought the battle ahead of schedule. And because the Republic suffered more losses on the planet Jabim than in the original plot, and the Guardian Planet army's offensive on Christofsis was more violent, the Republic paid more attention to the Guardian Planet, so it actually Concentrated 20 Jaeger-class cruisers at one time!
