Chapter 2100 Talon Calder
2100. Taron Calder
The Galactic Republic, the Outer Rim, the asteroid belt near the planet Quell.
A modified Gozanti-class armed cargo ship is moving through the asteroid belt with great flexibility. The speed and firepower of this armed cargo ship far exceed the original model. And the man who controls the spacecraft is obviously a master, even if there are asteroids everywhere, but under the control of this person, avoid large asteroids, smash small asteroids, and try not to be affected by these obstacles to speed.
"The power of the rear deflector shield is at its maximum! Chrissy, go and control the turret, don't let their fighters approach! Shi Mingdong! If you and Toss can't repair the hyperspace engine within ten minutes, we'll all be dead !!" Talon Calder roared loudly.
"I know! But it's useless to scream loudly now!!" Shi Mingdong yelled into the communicator while busy in the cabin with a Rodian. On the console on the other side, Chrissy was switching the turret to semi-automatic aiming mode, and kept firing towards the pursuers behind.
And behind them, a fleet composed of more than a dozen large and small spaceships was hotly chasing, and in the center of these spaceships was a Hammerhead-class cruiser. Although this kind of cruiser was designed thousands of years ago, it is still very practical, and it is obvious that this Hammerhead-class cruiser has been modernized and modified, and its performance is no less than that of some military warships today.
On the hulls of these spaceships, there is a black sun logo sprayed on them-this is the fleet of the black sun! !
"Separate! Separate! Outflank from the left and right sides!! Catch me alive!!" On the bridge of the Hammerhead-class cruiser, a man with a height of only 1.5 meters at most, but dark complexion, muscular, and a fierce-looking man was Roar loudly. He had a very strange hairstyle, with the entire head shaved, but the top part of the forehead was kept and tied in a braid.
This person is called Perry, one of the nine Vigos of the Black Sun, and he came to hunt down Talon Calder and others in person.
Under his order, more than a dozen other spaceships began to divide into two groups, preparing to go around the asteroid belt from the top, bottom and sides. Now their target, the daring Gozanti-class armed cargo ship has suffered a lot of damage, and it will definitely not be able to run away from their intact spaceships!
However, Perry swung his fist violently and roared: "The power of the front deflector shield is at its maximum, let me directly crash into it! Don't let them run far!!"
The people under him immediately followed suit, only to see that the Hammerhead-class cruiser suddenly started to accelerate, and slammed into the asteroid belt. Asteroids were smashed directly in front of the battleship. Although the battleship was shaking constantly and could hardly stand still, the battleship actually rushed in.
And unscathed!
The Hammerhead-class cruiser was designed thousands of years ago and is 315 meters long. It was the main battleship during the war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire at that time. Space battles at that time were more brutal and direct, limited by weak energy shields and mediocre laser cannons. At that time, the battleships of the two sides were very close to each other, almost within 50 kilometers. Compared with the current era where battles are basically started at a distance of 500 kilometers, this is completely a face-to-face battle.
Therefore, the diamond-shaped Hammerhead-class cruiser, which looks like the tip of a giant axe, is equipped with very thick armor, just to hit it directly at the right time. In fact, during the Sith War, there were indeed many brave and fearless captains on the Republic side who manipulated Hammerhead-class cruisers into the enemy and died together.
And now, the same design used to crash into enemy warships is used by Viggo Perry to speed through the asteroid field and chase Taron Calder's ship!
"Has the hyperspace engine not been repaired yet? That big battleship is following up!! Chrissy, open fire on that battleship!!" Talon Calder roared while skillfully manipulating the spaceship.
Under the control of Chrissy, the firepower of the Gozanti-class armed cargo ship, which is not inferior to that of ordinary military warships, is fully displayed! The eight laser turrets on both sides of the hull are constantly firing, and what is even more frenzied is that the quadruple laser turret that was originally installed at the rear of the hull to protect the engine and cargo warehouse is now actually modified by Taron Calder. A turbo laser cannon! !
Of course, relying on Talon Calder's connections, it was impossible to obtain such fleet-level weapons that would never be sold to the outside world. At that time, Shi Mingdong helped and asked his "old friend" to help bring them over. This old friend was naturally Tang Yu, but Talon Calder didn't know this.
It was the powerful power of this turbolaser cannon that made Perry hesitate in his pursuit. After all, this kind of powerful weapon is usually only equipped on heavy warships. If it is used to deal with these second-hand warships under his command, it doesn't matter if they miss it.
Under the attack of the turbolaser cannon, the driver of the Hammerhead-class cruiser panicked and wanted to dodge. But Perry strode up, slapped and slapped across the face, and roared: "Even if it's a turbolaser cannon, it doesn't matter! How big is that Gozanti-class armed cargo ship? How much energy output can it have? Give me Hit it!! Absolutely don’t let them escape!!”
The driver had no choice but to muster up his courage and rushed up against the gunfire!
On this Gozanti-class armed cargo ship, looking at the busy Talon Calder group, suddenly a gloomy voice came from the corner: "Hey hey hey...you can't escape! Really! Do you think you have the ability to kidnap Vigo from Black Sun? Hehehehe!!"
The speaker was actually a Hutt! There were only purple markings on his body and a feather headdress on his forehead. Judging by Hutt standards, he could even be said to be a bit charming. But look clearly, it's 'he' not 'she'! ! Hutts are gender-neutral, but generally, except for childbirth, they are male.
"Shut up!! Ziro!!" Talon Calder roared, and he turned to an Aesop next to him and said, "Take some coffee for our guests!!"
It turns out that this Hutt is actually one of the nine Vigos of the Black Sun, Ziro! He was also a thorn in the side of the Hutt Council, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly, but because of Black Sun's connection with some corrupt officials of the Galactic Republic, he was sheltered in Coruscant, making it impossible for the Hutt Council to attack.
The Aesop man stood up, went to the counter, picked up a pot of freshly brewed coffee that was fixed on the bar, and directly poured it on Qi Luo's body! Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned body of the Hutt would never feel comfortable being splashed with hot coffee. Ziro screamed from the heat, and finally calmed down.
As for why Taron Calder and Shi Mingdong were hunted down by the Black Sun, and why Ziro the Hutt, one of the nine great Vigos of the Black Sun, appeared on their ship, it all depends on one person. Speaking of months ago.
At that time, the battle of Jabim had just ended, and the war on Christophsis planet had just begun. This war seemed to have nothing to do with Talon Calder...
