The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1786. Galactic Empire Navy Reform (1)

"Your Excellency, I think your behavior just now is very irrational." On the way back from the laboratory, Dr. Halsey said coldly, "You don't understand the power of the Spartans at all, although I know you have Mysterious force, but even the armored vehicle couldn’t withstand John 117’s punch.”

However, Tang Xiao still had an excited look on his face, and he grinned, "This punch made me feel the joy I haven't seen for a long time! Hahahaha... I told you, Halsey, if he can really kill me , I immediately made him an admiral."

"You will be dead at that time, who can you turn to to cash it in?" Dr. Halsey disagreed.

"Just cash it in with me." Tang Xiao said.

"Well, this is a good joke. It sounds interesting." Dr. Halsey said calmly.

"When you face death, you will understand what I say." Tang Xiao said meaningfully, took out the communicator, looked at it, and said: "Newt Gunray has sent the good news, Endless The first ship of the class super aircraft carrier, the Infinity has officially completed its sea trials and has been put into active service in the Navy of the Principality of Dawn. In seven days, I will pass through Hutt space and go to the planet Semels to participate in the maiden voyage ceremony. "

"Although I don't want to interfere in politics, if you appear publicly on the planet Semels at this time, I'm afraid the face of the Galactic Empire will not look good. There is a possibility of another war." Dr. Halsey said.

"I will still give Palpatine's face. Therefore, I will not make a public appearance..." Tang Xiao said, "However, how could I miss the maiden voyage of such a super battleship? Hahahaha ...I will take the Master Chief and Jango Fett and the Mandalorians with me. Before that, you need to prepare them thoroughly."

Dr. Halsey stopped. This was already the entrance to the laboratory. She had many things to do and had no intention of leaving. He just said to Tang Xiao's back as he was retreating: "They will definitely be ready for everything."

"You won't let me down, I'm sure." Tang Xiao said, waved his hand, and gradually walked away.

…

At the same time, compared to the slowdown in the pace of warship updates in the Principality of Dawn, the actions on the Galactic Empire's side are very frequent and intensive.

After signing a peace treaty with the Principality of Dawn, the Galactic Empire completed the finalization and commissioning of the Empire-class Star Destroyer, Tracker-class aircraft carrier, Vindicator-class heavy cruiser, and Victory II-class Star Destroyer in the past six months. servitude work.

Well, you read that right, it does include the Victory II-class Star Destroyer. Although this type of Star Destroyer was designed by Willix Blissex, who was already in the Rendili Star Power Company at the time, and the Rendili Star Power Company had rebelled against the Galactic Republic, the Victory II-class destroyer Starships are still in service with the Galactic Empire.

Because after careful comparison, the Navy Headquarters of the Galactic Empire believed that the 900-meter-long Victory II-class Star Destroyer was an inferior force compared to the 1,600-meter-long Empire-class Star Destroyer and the 600-meter-long Vindicator-class heavy cruiser. Very good addition. The smaller and more flexible Victory II-class Star Destroyer can perform more assault missions on the interstellar battlefield.

The design of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer was submitted as one of the last efforts made by the Rendili Star Dynamics Corporation before their rebellion. It's just that at that time, what the senior leaders of the Galactic Republic wanted was to suppress Rendili and support Quat, so they found some excuses that were not excuses to reject the Victory II-class Star Destroyer plan.

And now, after ruling out some of the political factors that supported the Kuat Dynamics Dockyard, the Imperial Navy Headquarters has re-evaluated the Victory II-class Star Destroyer objectively and found that the design of this Star Destroyer is very clever. And it must be said that although the size is several grades smaller than the 1,600-meter Empire-class Star Destroyer, the combat performance is not as huge as the size difference between the two.

In addition, after the disastrous defeat in the Model Sector, Kuat Power Shipyard became the primary responsible party for this huge failure. Although the new Kuart's little Kuart (is that a twist?) went through a series of operations and put all the blame on the head of Onana Kuart, who had committed suicide, the Kuart Power Dockyard will definitely have to do this. Pay the price.

Therefore, after completing the evaluation of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer, the Galactic Empire Naval Headquarters decided to terminate the order for the Knight-class Star Destroyer and instead transferred the data of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer to Corellian Engineering Company for them to proceed. Outsourcing OEM to produce this kind of Star Destroyer.

As the oldest industrial giant in the galaxy, Corellian Engineering Company has been the Republic's main warship supplier since the founding of the Galactic Republic. Naturally, it is a piece of cake to produce Victory II-class Star Destroyers. Moreover, they directly picked up a ready-made one and got a large military order because of it. Why not?

Of course, there are still some unhappy feelings. After all, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer was not their own design, so this result is still a bit of a slap in the face. Therefore, Corellian Engineering Company immediately launched a plan to design and build its own large battleship to replace the Victory II class.

This brand-new plan is tentatively designated as the "Star Defender Project", with an initial investment of 10 billion empire credits to start establishing a new company, forming a team, and recruiting talents.

However, this project was stopped by Emperor Palpatine personally three months after it started. Because he still has more important work to be handed over to the Corellian Engineering Company, a super top-secret project that everyone will know about in the future, but now, it is still a super top-secret project that no more than ten people know about.

The plan name is - DS-1.

Coming back to this, the Knight-class Star Destroyer was completely unsubscribed after one year of service. On the one hand, it was due to the punishment and liquidation of Kuat Dynamics Shipyard. On the other hand, this Star Destroyer was really born. Bad timing, bad luck.

In fact, from the perspective of the Navy of the Principality of Dawn, several generals who have fought against the Knight-class Star Destroyer actually think highly of this Star Destroyer.

In many battles, the Knight-class Star Destroyer has been one of the most difficult opponents of the Dawn Principality Navy, even more difficult than the 8,000-meter-long Commander II-class dreadnought.

After all, the number of Commander II-class dreadnoughts is too small, and after all, they are modified from the old Commander-class dreadnoughts, which are inherently insufficient. Compared with the huge 8,000-meter-long body, its combat effectiveness is still Unable to match.

In addition, when the Commander II level appears, it will definitely appear as the flagship of the fleet, and generally it will not charge into battle. Even when it comes time to confront the Commander II-class dreadnought, there is often either the Xuanwu Titan battleship present, or the overall situation has been decided, and a large number of fleets are besieging them.

So to say that the Commander II class caused any trouble to the Navy of the Principality of Dawn...if you think about it carefully, it really didn't happen.

But the Knight-class Star Destroyer is different! This kind of Star Destroyer has begun to appear on various battlefields in the scale of 5 to 10 ships before, and was often used as an assault force by the naval generals of the Galactic Republic at that time.

Every time it launches an attack, this huge 1,600-meter-long hull, the powerful firepower of 60 heavy turbolaser cannons and 60 ion cannons pose a huge and direct threat to the warships of the Dawn Principality!

During those battles, how to fight against the Knight-class Star Destroyers was one of the biggest issues for the naval generals of the Principality of Dawn. (End of chapter)
