Chapter 547: Cutting-Edge Battleship

Chapter 547: Cutting-Edge Battleship

Jedi Master Glynn-Beti bowed slightly, and said to Sulamar very politely: "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Excellency Governor, when the Fleet is replenished, we will attack immediately, and we must not miss the opportunity."

Glynn-Beti is a female Bothan. She is not tall, about 1.45 meters. Although she is very elegant, she still looks like a wolf grandmother.

The average height of the Bothans is only about 1.5 meters. They are covered with hair and have protruding noses. They look like a hybrid of hounds and lions. They are also known to be cunning in the Galaxy. They are often seen inside.

Sulamar nodded, and walked to the huge panoramic window of the Command Center with his cane, looking at the nearest Venator-class Star Destroyer.

This side of Haven is in daylight, and under the light of the stars, the 1137-meter-long dagger-shaped Battleship in the Spaceport reflects a soft reflection.

The flat hull, which is very similar to the Acclamator-class Assault Ship, is full of industrial beauty. The catamaran bridge standing behind the Battleship is several times larger than the Acclamator-class, and it looks more powerful.

This Warship designed by Lira Wessex, the current Chief Designer of Kuat Drive Yards, also represents the perfect crystallization of the highest Technological and Industrial capabilities of the Galactic Republic. Lira Wessex has also proved she is already fully capable of taking over the work of her talented Warship Designer father, Walex Blissex, to design an extremely powerful Warship for the Republic Navy.

The Venator-class, the Designers of Kuat Drive Yards prefer to call this Warship the Star Destroyer. In fact, this classification does not exist in the Anaxes War College System, of course, because this system is outdated, the Warship classification of the Galactic Republic is already very chaotic.

However, in order to highlight the strength of the Warships they produced, the people at Kuat Drive Yards directly named the Battleships they produced, Star Destroyers, which was somewhat exaggerated.

However, the Venator-class Star Destroyer is really powerful!

The main guns of this battleship are 8 Dual DBY-827 Heavy Turbolasers, the secondary guns are 2 Medium Dual Turbolaser Cannons, and 52-64 Point-Defense Laser Cannons to defend different directions of the Battleship, as well as 6 Deck Guns, SPHA Turbolasers, and 4 Heavy Proton Torpedo Tubes, each with 16 Torpedoes.

However, the 8 Dual DBY-827 Heavy Turbolasers are arranged on both sides of the bridge in the second half of the Battleship. This very strange setting makes it impossible for the Venator-class to exert its full firepower in any direction (at first, I always thought those were Anti-Aircraft Guns, but after careful comparison, I found out that Nima is really the Main Gun, which is too weird), especially when the bow of the ship is facing the enemy, it has almost only one-third of its firepower.

This wonderful Turret Layout is to make way for the huge Hangar on the Battleship that is more than 600 meters long. Almost the entire front of the Venator-class Star Destroyer is the location of the Hangar. When fully loaded, the Venator-class can carry up to 420 Fighters. In terms of design, the Jager class will include 192 V-19 Torrent Starfighters or 192 V-wing Starfighters, 192 ETA-2 Actis-class Interceptors and 36 ARC-170 Starfighters. They sometimes also carry BTL-B Y-wing Bomber, Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters and Delta-7B Aethersprite-class Light Interceptors

However, because the ETA-2 Interceptor and ACR-170 Starighters have not yet begun to be installed, these 60 Venator-class Star Destroyers are equipped with 150 V-19 Torrent Starfighters and 80 Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters. In addition, there are 30 BTL-B Y-wing Bombers, and more space needs to be left for take-off and landings of the LAAT Gunships.

"The forward Outpost detected a Hyperspace Jump! We are still 4 seconds away [Note 1]!" The orderly turned to Matt Horner loudly.

Matt Horner raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then looked at the Holographic Star Map in front of him, and said, "The countdown is 120 seconds, detonate the target Proximity Mine Field!"

"Yes!" The Technician on the side immediately began to execute the instructions.

"Notify all units and enter the combat state immediately! Sound the alarm!!" Matt Horner continued to order.

Woo~~~Woo~~~Woo~~~ A piercing siren sounded from the entire Battleship, and the Crew and Droids who were already on standby immediately took their positions and concentrated.

All the lights inside the Battleship were turned off, leaving only the red indicator light, and the blood-red color immediately made the atmosphere chill.

All Weapons start to charge, and the Shield rises.

In particular, the 50 Kol-class Battlecruisers of Fleet A have already fully charged the Large-Caliber Hypermatter Railguns in front of them, and they only need to wait for an order to launch the first round of saturation strikes!

"...4, 3, 2, 1...detonation!!!"

With a shout from the Technicians, a pre-set Proximity Mine Field near the Corellian Trade Spine detonated instantly!

The powerful explosion power of Proximity Mine Field swept across the area stretching thousands of kilometers in an instant!

Almost at the same time as the explosion detonated, intense white light continued to flicker, and 60 Venator-class Star Destroyers appeared there, baring their ferocious fangs towards Bespin!
