Chapter 3354 The Sorrow of Orps
"Is this considered a win?"
On the bridge, looking at the bleak situation outside the fully opened viewing windows, Soshyan sighed from time to time.
Everywhere you look, there are floating shipwrecks everywhere, and some are even experiencing small-scale explosions. Various busy aircraft shuttle among them, constantly trying to salvage the launched rescue capsules and rescue them from the damaged hulls. The trapped crew members, but there are too many ships, this work is extremely difficult and huge, and many people are destined to die in despair in the cold cabin or rescue cabin after the spare oxygen is exhausted.
Even the crew members who may have died directly in the naval battle were not as many as those who later died due to untimely rescue. However, there was no way. The orbital facilities of Amara Prime were almost completely destroyed, and there were not many engineering ships and aircraft left. From other sources, The local rescue team will not arrive for a while. Although other planets in the Amara system are also prepared, the number is far from enough. According to the current progress, it will take at least a month to complete the entire rescue
Let alone a month, many people may not be able to last even three days.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind him, followed by Thor's voice.
"The losses have been basically calculated."
Soshyan turned around, took the data tablet, and plugged it into the device nearby. Then a line of dazzling red symbols was projected onto the observation window in front of him.
The moment he saw the most conspicuous set of numbers, Suoshiyang's pupils shrank suddenly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then a long puff of turbid air was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Of the 437 warships that participated in the Battle of Amara System, a total of 286 were sunk, and another 64 were severely damaged and needed to be overhauled. The rest were almost damaged to varying degrees. It can be said that not a single ship in the entire imperial fleet was unscathed. No damage to the boat.
The losses of the human fleet were not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality. Forty battleships above cruisers were sunk, which was equivalent to the loss of more than half of the battleships (70 at the beginning of the war).
Among them, the Orps Defense Fleet suffered the most losses. In the fierce battle, 21 cruisers and 117 small ships were sunk. Three of the four core battleships were sunk, including the flagship Arica Dominator - the fleet. Although the commander, Admiral Georg Carew, wanted to sink with the ship, he was forced to leave the sinking flagship by his subordinates and transferred to the last battleship of the Orps Guard Fleet, the Emperor-class battleship Saint. Aboard the Glory.
The entire Orps Guard Fleet sank a total of 141 ships, accounting for half of the total ship losses. This is also related to the general oldness and poor maintenance of the ships of the Orps Fleet, but these heroic navy The soldiers are still fighting bloody battles with the enemy despite extremely inferior performance, and there are even constant scenes of trying to collide with enemy ships and die together, which is very tragic.
In addition to the Orpheus Guardian Fleet, the Astral Knights also suffered heavy losses. The battleships alone were sunk, including the strike cruiser Blue Ice, the Retribution-class large cruiser Blackfrost, the Styx-class heavy cruiser Deathstalker, and the Pluto-class heavy cruiser. There are 6 ships including the Unbound Soul, the Moon-class cruiser Brightguard, and the Iron Dragon. You must know that when Soshyan set off from the Naisen system, he only brought 12 capital ships, which is equivalent to a direct loss of half!
Among them, the three cruisers, the Death Hunter, the Light Guardian, and the Iron Dragon, were even new ships. They were performing combat missions for the first time. As a result, their service careers could be said to be over.
One characteristic of most sunk ships is that the external wounds are often tearing, and at the same time, the internal equipment and energy systems are extremely severely damaged. This is the main reason why the losses of human ships are so huge—— The characteristic of Necron ship-borne weapons is that while they have extremely powerful penetrating capabilities, they can seriously damage facilities inside the ship, causing fires, short circuits, and even explosions and a series of secondary injuries. Especially like the Unbound Soul, this ship can be said to be a meritorious ship, and it can even be regarded as Soshyan's "first pot of gold" - the Spark has a longer history, but its role is undoubtedly not as good as the Unbound Soul. So big, however, during the naval battle, it was flanked by two harvesters. Although it resisted vigorously, the rear of the hull still suffered heavy damage. Nearly a quarter of the hull was stripped off, and the entire power structure was The ship was almost destroyed, followed by fires and power outages, which completely paralyzed its damage control system and facilities. Finally, the stern deck was almost completely destroyed in the devastating implosion, and the main structure of the hull was irreversibly damaged. Although the tow truck It is possible to go back and repair it, but the cost is almost the same as building a new ship, because the keel will most likely have to be removed and replaced with a new one, and the work time will start at least five years.
And even what was left was severely damaged. 42% of the Randall's deck area had devastating penetrating scars, and three guns in the black light cannon array were permanently damaged. According to the estimates of the Forgeborn machine forger, It will take two years to repair it conservatively. In addition, the plasma annihilation cannon is also damaged to a certain extent. It is also very laborious to repair this thing. It requires a lot of precision. The precision parts had to be transported from the distant Wotan Alliance in the center of the galaxy. Together with other scattered repairs, the investment was no less than rebuilding a conventional battleship. Therefore, although the Randall was fine, it would suffer a little loss. Not small at all - this is the two sides of the matter, high configuration brings high performance, and a higher cost of use.
But even so, the Randall is still the most intact among the ships of the Astral Knights participating in the battle. According to Soshyan himself, if the Avista participates in the battle, the situation will not be better than the Randall. Unsurprisingly, the Randall is probably the most powerful warship in existence. Although it is indeed very expensive to use, it is the only ship that can directly confront the Necron battleship.
But such a powerful battleship still cannot bring much advantage in the naval battle against the dead, which is very discouraging. According to various data on combat performance, if the Randall is paired with the enemy's tomb ship, In a duel, the outcome would be a 30-70 at most, and the most likely outcome would be that Randall would severely injure his opponent and be completely destroyed.
If it were any other Queen of Glory, it would probably not be higher than 28 cents.
As for the other surviving battleships, they are not very different from sinking. They all have structural damage and need to be overhauled in the factory.
Almost all the small battleships he brought were lost, with only nine scarred ships remaining around the Randall. Facing the terrifying weapons of the Necrontyr, the large ships could still rely on their tonnage to sustain them. The boats were almost dead when touched, and they also suffered the vast majority of casualties.
But even so, not a single ship left the battlefield. Even the lowest-level frigates tried their best to launch harassing attacks on the enemy with their only laser weapons, or rushed to the enemy's capital ships as much as possible to provide friendly forces. Large ships absorb firepower.
In a sense, it can be said that the battle group fleet brought by Soshyan was completely wiped out. This fleet has disappeared from the combat organization and will take several years to recover. This is also the ship Soshyan fought. The single battle with the greatest losses.
This is still the result of the support ship Randall. Without the Randall, Soshyan's results would most likely be 1 out of 10.
