1149, Battleship Review (Part 2)
“Knight-class Star Destroyer?” Palpatine thought for a while, “If I remember correctly, this kind of battleship There has been small-scale production last year, mainly used in several task forces. "
"Yes, the Knight-class is a warship specially designed for artillery battles. Based on the few combat data in 2017, the Knight-class was finally modified and finalized, and it was connected to the latest battleship operating system of Republic Sina Systems Company, bringing the Knight-class to the standard for formal mass production. This is what I proposed for review today. One of the issues,” Lila Blissex said.
As she spoke, she turned on the projection, and a huge warship in the shape of a triangular wedge appeared in the projection. The appearance of this warship was very impactful, and it made people feel how terrifying it was at a glance. pressure. Above the tail of the battleship, a huge single bridge stands proudly, becoming the most obvious feature.
Gary Ulan frowned because he found that the appearance of this Star Destroyer was exactly the same as the Victory-class Star Destroyer manufactured by their Rendili Star Power Company! But the biggest difference is that the Victory-class Star Destroyer is only 900 meters long, while the Knight-class Star Destroyer in front of you is an astonishing 1,600 meters long!
"The Knight-class Star Destroyer is a warship design that puts ship-to-ship combat first. It has 60 XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 in the front and on the left and right sides; 60 large There are 20 ion cannons at the front, 15 on each side, and 10 at the rear; in addition, there are an additional 6 twin-mounted heavy turbolaser cannons, 2 twin-mounted ion cannons, and 40 point defense laser cannons." Ra said, "The Knight-class possesses destructive firepower, enough to destroy any warship appearing on the battlefield in the galaxy now!"
When she said this, her chin almost went up to the sky, and she was obviously disappointed with herself. I'm extremely proud and proud of my design.
A simple and crude enlarged version of the Victory-class Star Destroyer, with more turrets, thicker armor, and larger reactors... Gary Ulan crossed his arms and looked at the Quat Power Shipyard. side.
It happened that Little Kuart was also looking here. Gali Ulan raised the corner of his mouth, turned sideways from an angle that Palpatine couldn’t see, and made a thumbs down gesture to Little Kuart. gesture.
At the same time, he was also full of vigilance, because this also meant the homogenization of the functions of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the Victory-class Star Destroyer! If this is the case, then the Victory-class of Rendili Star Power Company...
"...But if I remember correctly, the Knight-class Star Destroyer should not have a hangar platform, so the carrier-based aircraft 0, is that right?" Sheev Palpatine asked.
"Yes, the Knight-class Star Destroyer is used to deal with the Separatist capital ships. Even the Separatist Xuanwu Titan battleship, as long as enough Knight-class ships are invested, it can also deal with them. A fatal blow!" Lila Blissex said very confidently.
"But there are no carrier-based aircraft at all. Will this have an adverse impact on combat?" Palpatine asked again.
"Of course not. I have also fully considered the current situation of the Republic Navy. We have sufficient Jaeger-class battlecruisers and sufficient carrier-based aircraft protection. Therefore, the Knight-class Star Destroyer It is a very targeted fleet-type battleship! Not only that, this is just the beginning. We are designing a brand-new battleship - the Imperator-class Stardistroyer! The class is more comprehensive and equipped with a moderately sized hangar," Lila replied.
What followed was a long process of data comparison and review of simulated combat records...
The results were no surprise. Sheev Palpatine was very satisfied with the Knight-class Star Destroyer and praised Lila Bully on the spot. Sykes and Quarter Power Shipyard, after praising them, directly decided to place an order for 500 Knight-class Star Destroyers in the next fiscal year!
The cost of building a Knight-class ship, the price quoted by Kuat Power Shipyard is 140 million credits! After cost accounting, the final order price was determined to be 122 million per vessel!
For 500 Knight-class Star Destroyers, the order price reached 61 billion!
In addition, the Galactic Republic military still placed an order for 600 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, but asked Lila Blissex to reduce the cost of the Jaeger-class battlecruisers as much as possible. Let the Jaeger-class gradually transform into a second-line support ship type.
To put it bluntly, it is used exclusively as an aircraft carrier.
So in the end, the total of these two orders alone exceeded 100 billion!
Looking at the triumphant smiles on the faces of Little Quart and Lila Blissex, Gary Ulan really wanted to rush over and punch each of them in the face regardless of their status. !
After the day's meeting, Galli Ulan returned to his mansion on Coruscant. First, he gave his father Benjira Ulan a daily report on the contents of today's meeting. Then, he The Willix-Blissex communication was connected.
A tall middle-aged man with a kind face appeared in the holographic projection. His hairline was a bit high, and it seemed that he was caused by staying up late.
He is Willix Blissex, the father of Lila Blissex, the chief battleship designer of Quart Power Shipyard. He is now the chief engineer of Rendili Star Power Company and is the best in the entire galaxy today. Battleship designer.
It’s just that his daughter Lila Blissex has put all his light into herself, making many people think that Lila is the best one.
The ultimate reason is that although Willix is a genius, he is not good at using computers. This is a very big contrast, but he just can't use these things at all. Therefore, when he designs battleships, he often draws the design framework with a ruler, compass and pen, and then guides his daughter Lila to operate the computer for him to complete the design.
As a result, all the signatures on his designs were his daughter's names, but he didn't originally care about this.
Later, Willix discovered that the Kuat Power Shipyard was going further and further in the direction of using its own weapons to cause killings, and his daughter was also happy with it. All they cared about was that the warship they designed could kill people. How many people do not care about ending the war?
Lila Blissex also thinks about how to climb to a higher position and even become a member of the aristocracy. That's why the father and daughter broke up.
"Today, Lila submitted the design of the Knight-class Star Destroyer for review on behalf of the Quat Power Shipyard, and it was approved." Gary Ulan said, "Then, it seems that There is a version with an additional hangar called the Imperial class. I simply can’t imagine that Kuat Power Shipyard is so shameless that using the same design with a hangar can be submitted for review as two different warships.”
"I know. Lila has the first draft of the design of my Victory-class Star Destroyer in her hands. With her ability, it is not surprising that she designed a larger and stronger Knight-class on this basis." Willick S-Blissex said calmly.
"I know it's bigger, stronger? Are you sure?" Gary Ulan asked.
"Without considering the cost, yes. But I have to say that the Knight-class does not reach the performance limit that the size of 1,600 meters and the cost of 122 million should...far from it." Willix sighed. .
"Comparing the Victory class with a cost of 57 million and the Chasseur class with a cost of 59 million, it is indeed the case." Gary Ulan said, turning to the next question, "Tomorrow's meeting is We want to discuss a new type of fighter aircraft from Quart, the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter...Why is the design signature of this fighter aircraft yours?"
"This? It's a request from an old friend, and I can't refuse it. Jedi Master Sars-Tin, who is resisting that mysterious mechanical life form in the northern reaches of the galaxy, is the Geth. Our pilots need a more powerful fighter to support them. Currently, V. -19 fighters are no longer enough to deal with the geth's air power," Willix said.
"Then why don't you give it..." Galli Ulan swallowed his words halfway.
Yes, if this design was given to Rendili, the result would probably be nothing, so the frontline soldiers could only continue to use V-19 fighter jets.
In fact, there is another meaning that Willix did not say. The V-19 fighter has already lagged behind. Compared with the Phantom fighter that has launched several subsequent models, from the A type to the G type, it is no longer a match. .
The Galactic Republic is in urgent need of a new type of fighter jet.
Gali Ulan sighed and said: "Promise me, there will be no next time, okay?"
"I am tired of the intrigues of the Republic, and I will never do it again. That’s it,” Willix-Blissex said.
“So, there is no doubt that this new type of V-wing fighter will replace the V-19 Torrent and become the new main fighter of the Republic. It is another huge order... Refer to the V of this fiscal year With the order volume of -19, we estimate that the formal orders for the V-wing fighter once it is officially put into production should be more than 100,000..." Galli-Ulan said.
"Is there anything else I'm interested in?" Willix obviously didn't want to continue chatting.
"Republic Sina System proposed a TIE fighter plan. It seems that this plan has the support of Kuat... It seems that they have formed a strategic alliance..." Galli-Ulan said.
"TIE fighter plan?"
"Yes, the Republic's Sina system is applying for research funding of about 10 billion from the Republic. It seems that this number will probably be approved at around 8.5 billion. ”
“So, where is Lundilli?”
Gali-Ulan fell silent, and after a long time, he slowly said: "It's getting late, you should go to rest early, Mr. Willix."
Close the communication, Gali-Ulan Lan walked to the balcony and looked out the window at the bright night sky of the planet Coruscant, her eyes and thoughts flying far away...

[Easter Egg Chapter Attached Picture 1: Knight-level Annihilator The starship is actually similar in appearance to the Empire class, mainly because the hull is slightly thinner and there is no hangar hatch in the belly. To be honest, even this is almost impossible to tell...]
Thanks to Darth Zanna for the 500 starting coins! ! Thanks to Wei Wei for the extra 100 starting coins! !
