The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2318. The Executor’s Sorrow

Boom~~Boom~~Boom! ! !

Continuous explosions kept coming, and the entire ground was shaking violently as if a magnitude 7 earthquake had erupted. The people on the bridge were staggering around, looking for places to hide and stabilize themselves.

The Lusankaya Executor-class super Star Destroyer is 19,000 meters long, which is the level of a medium-sized city. To be able to shake a city, such destructive power is terrifying.

The Ogre-class siege cruiser is such a battleship with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it cannot even defeat a frigate, and in terms of maneuverability, it is even slower and clumsy. But the super-heavy proton torpedo it launches has nearly devastating destructive power!

The super-heavy proton torpedo actually has no technical content. It is just an ordinary proton torpedo that is magnified. It is not difficult to build. But why didn't the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire choose to develop this weapon? The main reason is still the problem of hit rate.

The current level of science and technology, whether it is electronic interference technology or close defense system technology, is very mature. Missile attacks are either interfered with or intercepted. Therefore, if we want to improve the penetration capability of missiles, we need anti-jamming and anti-interception. For example, adding shields to missiles, adding electronic countermeasures systems, adding intelligent guidance systems, etc.

If the target is just a fighter jet, then these systems don't actually need to be too complicated. After all, what a fighter jet can do is limited. But if the target is a warship, it is actually very easy for the close-in defense system and electronic jamming system installed on a capital ship to interfere with the missile.

So the question arises, should we continue to increase the technological content of missiles, make them resistant to interference and interception, and then push the cost of a missile to extremely high levels, or should we find another way?

So the answer is carrier-based aircraft!

Now the Galactic Empire uses a combination of pilots and navigation robots, while the Principality of Dawn uses a combination of pilots and intelligent AI. Their purpose is the same - to give the fighter aircraft control while ensuring the flexibility of the fighter's judgment of the situation as much as possible. Able to achieve automatic control efficiency.

Then the fighter formation will break through the battleship's defense, and then deliver missiles or proton torpedoes at close range. In this way, fighter jets can be reused, and proton torpedoes or missiles do not need to be so costly. This is killing two birds with one stone.

However, this still has disadvantages, that is, the fighter's carrying capacity is limited, and it cannot carry larger-yield proton torpedoes. As a result, the tasks of carrying greater firepower gradually became larger from frigates to Star Destroyers... But as the carriers became larger, their maneuverability became worse, and they could only turn to long-distance shooting. Then back to the problem, turbo laser cannons are not as powerful as proton torpedoes, and proton torpedoes are not as powerful as proton torpedoes, and you can't penetrate the defense.

Therefore, this kind of spiral is the essence of contradictions and confrontations in cosmic war.

But the Ogre-class siege cruiser is an alien among aliens. It does not have any defense penetration capabilities, that is, it can only attack from a long distance, but the super-heavy proton torpedo it launches is not something with a high technical content. This has resulted in the Ogre-class siege cruiser, which basically poses little threat to battleships and is mostly used against fixed armed space stations, spaceports, or planetary shields.

But now, Severance Tann has taught the Galactic Empire Admiral Michelle Unser another way to use it!

Super-heavy proton torpedoes pose little threat to battleships, simply because they miss. Once this problem is solved, no warship can resist the destructive power of the super-heavy proton torpedo.

Neither does the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! !

Admiral Michel Unser completely understood this time. Severance Tann had already seen through his plan to make a decent retreat after the Lusangkaya put up a certain degree of resistance from the formation arrangement. The reason why she let two Ankeron-class Titan battleships risk their lives to attack directly was to not give the Lusangkaya a chance to retreat!

Severance Tann, she plans to annihilate every Imperial warship! The Executor-class Super Star Destroyer has been proven in the previous battle on the planet Naboo. Although the Kuat Power Shipyard has been involved in various scandals, its strength as the largest industrial entity in the galaxy is still there.

The super Star Destroyer they built is really extremely durable. Even if the shield is destroyed, there are several sets of spare shield systems. Even if the spare shields are burned out, the main armor belt of the battleship is extremely thick; even when the main armor belt is destroyed, the countless explosion-proof compartments and solid structures in the middle of the battleship The internal structure also allows the battleship to last for a long time.

In the battle on the planet Naboo, the Principality of Dawn, with its absolute advantage, was besieged for several hours but failed to destroy the Lusangkaya. This is proof!

Therefore, if Severance Tann still carried out the frontal attack step by step, she would not be able to retain the Lusangkaya, which was originally located at the rear of the formation and had made up its mind to resist for a while before running away!

Severance Tann's strategy this time was perfect in terms of psychology, tactics and strategy!

And a perfect battle should get a perfect result.

Boom! Boom! Boom!! The bridge was shaking violently, and then Michel-Unser clearly felt that his body began to tilt to one side. This means that the gravity generation system and gyroscope in the center of the battleship were destroyed!

Michel-Unser sighed. He originally planned to take the shuttle back to the command center on the planet Kira before retreating, continue to command the next battle, and fight to death. But now, he can no longer see that day.

Failed to save the empire's largest and newest battleship, he had no reason not to sink with the ship.

Michel-Unser tidied his military uniform, put on the military cap that fell off during the vibration just now, and then issued the final order in a low tone: "The Lusankaya can no longer continue, and the battle situation is irreversible. Notify all departments of this ship to evacuate as soon as possible and abandon the ship!"

After speaking, he saluted heavily and kept this posture all the time.

The bridge was in chaos, everyone was busy running for their lives, only a few officers walked to Michel-Unser, saluted solemnly, and stood firmly without any hesitation.

From the outside, the Lusankaya Super Star Destroyer had begun to tilt, and at least hundreds of places on the ship were exploding, spewing countless flames, debris and corpses.

A large number of lifeboats were launched from the bottom of the battleship, indicating that this super battleship had come to an end.
