The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1791. Galactic Empire Navy Reform (6)

For the Galactic Empire, the establishment of the new three industrial giants also marks that the Imperial Navy will completely get rid of the shadow of the Galactic Republic and begin to enter its own era.

New industrial giants, new battleships, new officers and soldiers, new tactics.

The entry into service of the Tracer-class aircraft carrier and the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser is an attempt by the Galactic Empire to explore the cooperation of multiple ship types.

Different from the situation in the original plot where the Galactic Empire focused on the construction of Imperial-class Star Destroyers and the number of other ships was small. Now due to the weakening of the Kuat Dynasty dockyard and the impact of the new naval tactics of the Principality of Dawn, the Galactic Empire began to focus on other warships. attention began to increase.

The Secutor-class Carrier is a 2,200-meter-long ship that is modified from the hull of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. It has a flat and wide hull. The original design direction of this kind of warship is carrier (the English name used in this paragraph is the same as that of aircraft carrier, but I studied the carrier plan of the Chaser and feel that it should not be called an aircraft carrier, but a carrier, because it carries (not just fighter jets), in addition to carrying 144 carrier-based aircraft, it can also carry 14,000 Marines and a large number of ground armor units, and even contains enough supplies to support two years.

The Tracker-class battlecruiser was originally defined as a Star Destroyer. In fact, it was not how powerful its firepower was. On the contrary, most of the Tracker-class's firepower was only used for self-defense, and it also installed the latest fire control system to fight against fighter jets. group attack. But the reason why it is called a Star Destroyer is because the fighters and ground troops carried by the Tracker do have the ability to directly suppress a planet.

But now, the construction plan of the Chaser-class Star Destroyer has been changed to the Chaser-class aircraft carrier. After removing the Marine Corps barracks and the hangar of the Army armor unit, a lot of space was freed up for the Chaser-class aircraft carrier. A fighter take-off and landing platform and 10 supporting sets of ejection devices have been added.

The Tracker class now has three fighter take-off and landing platforms, 30 sets of ejection devices, and the aircraft capacity has increased to 400. It also has a complete fighter maintenance and repair platform and a separate hangar for each fighter.

The current Tracker-class aircraft carrier will appear in the naval sequence of the Galactic Empire as a professional aircraft carrier. The Cheer-class assault landing ship, which was originally planned to be replaced by the Tracker-class Star Destroyer, will now remain in the Galactic Empire's army and undertake the task of transporting army troops.

The corresponding one is the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser.

This is the first large-scale warship designed after the establishment of China Fleet Systems Company. It inherits the fine tradition of meticulous craftsmanship of China Fleet Systems Company of the former Republic. The design of the entire warship is very detailed. Therefore, although this battleship is only 600 meters long, the large number of turrets and close-defense systems installed on it can easily destroy fighter formations that appear nearby. At the same time, it also has very good maneuverability and protection capabilities.

According to the current needs of the Galactic Empire Navy, the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser has strengthened its air defense capabilities and appears as a full-time fleet air defense force. Not only that, the 600-meter-long size also allows the Defender-class to directly tear the opponent into pieces with its low-power but extremely dense firepower even when faced with an attack by a small enemy warship!

Once the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser appears on the battlefield, small units such as enemy frigates, fighters, and light destroyers will suffer a devastating blow.

This is also a targeted design based on the frigate sea tactics that the Principality of Dawn has used several times. The imaginary enemies of the Vindicator class during design were the Javelin-class guided missile frigates and the Roughhead/Sparedar-class light frigates of the Principality of Dawn, as well as the main small warships such as the Cobalt Alloy-class frigates.

In addition, the Galactic Empire Navy has also carried out a modification plan for the very classic design of the Acclamator-class assault landing ship. It has currently proposed an Acclamator II-class assault ship plan, and has already launched a small-scale Put it into practice.

The main function of the Cheer II-class assault ship is orbital bombardment. After removing the space for loading soldiers and ground armor units, the Cheer II-class assault ship is equipped with a large number of orbital bombing equipment. Coupled with the neutron material armor derived from the Cheer class, this assault ship becomes even more difficult.

This type of assault ship can rely on its almost indestructible defense capabilities to directly break through local blockades and directly bomb the opponent's planet, catching the opponent off guard!

The design idea of ​​the Cheer II-class assault ship was actually born out of the process of the Clone Wars. In this war, fleet commanders often face the dilemma of whether to bomb the planet with their own warships or attack the opponent's fleet.

But now, if they have the Cheer II-class assault ship, then they can just let the thick-skinned Cheer II-class rush up and bomb the planet with the opponent's firepower! In this way, the opponent's fleet is in a dilemma!

Before the opponent sinks the sturdy Cheer II-class assault ship, the powerful Imperial fleet has enough time to inflict a devastating blow to the opponent's fleet!

At the same time, the Galactic Empire Navy also strengthened its frigate design. In addition to upgrading the CR-70 frigate to the more advanced and faster 150-meter-long CR-90 frigate, it also developed the Predator-class frigate.

The 195-meter-long Predator-class frigate is a high-speed assault warship that appeared in the Galactic Empire's navy to replace the former Karak-class light cruiser. In addition to high speed and high firepower, the Predator-class frigate can also carry 12 fighter jets or 8 bombers.

The Predator-class frigate appears in the naval sequence of the Galactic Empire and is also involved in an expansion of the Galactic Empire. Mainly the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA). This was a semi-neutral force that was once active in the outer ring of the galaxy. It was mainly a loose organization united by illegal enterprises, pirates, and tax evaders.

During the previous Clone Wars, the Enterprise Sector Administration once sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems and fought against the Galactic Republic. But the nature of businessmen made them decisively withdraw from the war after seeing the Confederacy of Independent Systems losing ground.

In fact, at that time, they themselves could no longer support themselves. Because their general location was in the northern border of the Milky Way, within the strike range of the 10th Army of the Republic, there were no other relatively powerful separatist forces in this direction, so they were quickly defeated.

However, the Galactic Empire Navy took a fancy to the Predator-class frigate built for them by Corellian Engineering Company, so it obtained a production license from CSA and began to add this type of frigate to its navy.

The Imperial Navy's idea is to try to use the Predator-class frigate to conduct a high-speed assault, suddenly release all bombers after approaching the enemy's capital ship, and then conduct a round of devastating proton torpedo bombing against the opponent's capital ship.

In order to achieve this goal, the Galactic Empire installed a newly developed new missile-Diamond-boron missile on the Predator-class frigate.

The Diamond Boron Missile is a very expensive missile, with one missile costing up to 20,000 credits! In many cases, the price of such a missile is even more expensive than a fighter jet!

However, it is expensive, and the Diamond Boron Missile is indeed very powerful. This missile has complete protection capabilities, including active protection and passive protection, and can directly ignore the irradiation of most laser weapons. Coupled with its ultra-high flight speed and its programming to perform irregular evasive movements, this missile is almost difficult to intercept.

And once it is hit by a diamond boron missile, its powerful power can completely blow a fighter jet to smithereens with just one! Therefore, this kind of missile can sometimes be used to attack enemy small and medium-sized warships, and the effect is very significant.

If this kind of luxury missile were handed over to the Principality of Dawn, Tang Xiao would definitely point his nose at it and call it a prodigal. It also joined the Imperial Navy with the entry of the Predator-class frigate and became the fighter formation of the Principality of Dawn that shocked the galaxy. huge threat!

In addition to the CR-90 and Predator-class frigates, two frigates developed by Corellian Engineering, Quat Power Shipyard has also developed its own frigate, the Vigil-class corvette.

It is said to be a frigate, but in fact this 255-meter-long battleship has incredibly powerful firepower. As a frigate, the Night Watch-class frigate is actually equipped with three battlecruiser-level heavy-duty turbolaser cannons! It can be called crazy!

Moreover, the appearance design of the Night Watch-class frigate is exactly the same as that of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, but the many shortcomings of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser during the war were fully considered during the design. Not only did the bridge be lowered and the armor increased, but the firepower on the battleship was more rationally arranged.

This makes the Night's Watch a battleship that, although small, can play an unexpected role. If a Night Watchman-class sneak attack is successful, even the battlecruiser will be unable to survive!

After a variety of large and small battleships of different models and different purposes were added to the Galactic Republic Navy, they were also joined by the Empire-class Star Destroyer, which had been further strengthened and greatly increased in power, and the Victory II-class destroyer, which had a classic design and could meet the requirements of most artillery battles. Starships, the Imperial Navy is now unprecedentedly powerful.

Now the top officials of the empire, including Palpatine, are waiting for the complete completion of the TIE plan of the Xina fleet system before completely renovating the imperial fleet.

At that time, the newly born imperial fleet will be invincible!

…

The Principality of Dawn, the capital of the Model Sector, and the planet Annaji.

Sector Governor Volgograd-Kanidi took a shuttle into the atmosphere of the planet Annaji and flew over the cities that were in need of reconstruction. At the same time, he also interacted with countless passenger spacecraft, cargo spacecraft and engineering spacecraft in the sky. Passing by at close range, the busy and reborn planet can be seen in full view.

People are always hardworking...

Even after experiencing the baptism of many battles, they will rebuild their homes among the ruins. Even after experiencing horrific riots and internal purges, they still tried to unite and become a new collective.

Volgograd-Kanidi had a cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth and a glass of strong liquor in his hand. He took a sip of his cigar and another sip of his wine, and then subconsciously looked to his side, preparing for the soft scolding that would follow.

But no, sitting next to him was his new adjutant, a very obedient, smart, and at the same time, very loyal adjutant.

The adjutant He Yuan, who once stopped his drinking behavior in time and lectured him, has been placed under house arrest and may never be seen again...

"Tell me about the recent defense arrangements." Canidi said slowly. He squinted his eyes and leaned back on the seat back, preparing to listen to the report from his subordinates.

"Your Majesty the Governor, I have summarized the recent events into a report, please take a look at it..." He was answered by another slightly unfamiliar voice.

Canidy opened his eyes and saw another young officer sending a very detailed report through the universal tool, and said very seriously, "Your Majesty the Governor, please take a look at this report, and I will do it for you." Interpretation…”

If it were Jin Chen, he wouldn't need to hand over the repeated reports to himself at all. Now he might have opened up his chat box and reported on the work for himself in an endless and orderly manner. And you can also close your eyes, rest and form your own picture of this report in your mind, and slowly savor it...

"That's enough, no need." Canidi waved his hand to interrupt the young officer, and at the same time he turned off the universal tool.

He took a deep breath, but felt very agitated.

The shuttle stopped steadily and was met by some tourists gathered outside the space port. They suddenly ran forward, took out the flags they had prepared, and shouted insults at him.

"Kanidi! You are a traitor!!"

"Executioner!! You massacred tens of millions of innocent civilians!!"

"We once trusted you so much! You actually responded with a butcher's knife!!"

"fraud!!"

After hearing the news, the military police immediately rushed up and pushed all the radicals disguised as tourists to the ground, but even so, those people still used the most unpleasant words to curse him.

Volgograd-Kanidi had no expression on his face and just quickened his pace.

Yes, everything has changed... The entire Model Sector has changed... It has become so strange, so cold...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Governor, it was our fault to let these people sneak in." A man wearing sunglasses walking on the other side quickly came over to apologize.

This person wears the badge of the Secret Intelligence Department of the Principality of Dawn on his chest, and there is a special horizontal bar on the badge, indicating that this person is an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the Secret Intelligence Department.

Since the Great Purge in the Model Sector, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have appeared in almost every corner of the administrative departments at all levels in the Model Sector. They stared at these departments and officials like maggots in the tarsus, scanning every possible factor of riot with their sinister eyes.
