1479. Choose one from the two
"Sir! The Eclipse-class prototype ship is accelerating! If we don't take measures, this battleship will fly far!" An officer came over and said to the Kuat defense fleet The commander reported.
The fleet commander's face was gloomy. At least half of the battleships in the Kuat defense fleet were surrounding the Eclipse-class prototype fleet. However, in addition to sending some LAAT assault transport boats to fly inside the battleship and fight with that A group of fugitives who hijacked a battleship exchanged fire, and then watched helplessly as the signals of these transport boats disappeared one by one. They could do nothing.
After all, this is the eclipse level!
With the three super battleships, the Venomous Fang, the Plague, and the Xuanwu, constantly wreaking havoc on the front lines of the war, and the Plague once even fled to the core area of the galaxy, the Galactic Republic is eager to have its own super battleship. .
The Commander II class is only a temporary answer, because it is only an enlarged warship based on existing technology, and does not have any technical breakthrough. And in the Battle of Eriadu System, the Commander II-class dreadnought has proven unable to fight against the separatist Xuanwu Titan battleship.
The Quat Power Shipyard proposed a plan for the Eclipse-class super Star Destroyer. In this plan, Lila Blissex drew an extremely grand and gorgeous pie for the Republic Speaker Sheev Palpatine, and asked Palpatine to draw the ship out of thin air, or rather I am deeply intoxicated by the invincible battleship blown out.
It must be said that Lila Blissex, at least in this aspect, far surpasses her father - she knows how to please her superiors very well.
Therefore, the Eclipse-class super Star Destroyer can be said to embody the hope of the entire Galactic Republic!
The military and parliament of the Galactic Republic are all looking forward to it, waiting for the launch of the Eclipse class, and then completely shattering the myth of the invincibility of the Separatist super battleships!
In this case, they can't afford even if a screw is missing from the Eclipse-class prototype ship!
But what will happen if it continues like this? Watching helplessly as the fugitives who escaped from the Kuat Star Ring hijacked the prototype ship and then flew out in a swaggering manner?
“Asshole!!” The fleet commander was so angry that he grabbed his military cap and threw it to the ground. He turned around and shouted loudly, “Is there any reply from the Shipbuilding Engineering Department? Is there any way to stop this warship? Come down?"
"The engineering department just replied that there is nothing they can do. This ship is a test ship and there is no need to install any security measures." The liaison officer came to answer.
"They are lying! They are shirking responsibility!! Those engineers usually value their own safety more than anything else, why would they not have any security measures? Who are they fooling!!" the commander roared.
"They..." The liaison officer looked at the commander's face uneasily, but still said, "They said that we are responsible for the security of the Kuat system. Therefore, they could not foresee security issues arising at this time. So... there is no way. "
The fleet commander's face was extremely gloomy. He stared at the half-built super battleship on the holographic star map without saying a word.
"Sir, they are still accelerating... If they are allowed to fly like this, they will escape from the planet's gravity well in 10 minutes at most... By then, I'm afraid their small invisible spaceship will be able to Entering hyperspace," the adjutant said from the side.
"How is the hyperspace blocker set up?" the commander asked.
"It's too late. We didn't expect them to escape from space at all, let alone that they would have the opportunity to start a hyperspace jump... It's too late to set up blockers now." The adjutant shook his head. Shake his head.
"Then what about shooting down their spaceship before it flies out of the prototype ship and prepares to enter hyperspace?" the commander asked again.
“This is the second most feasible option at present... But judging from the previous flight attitude of this spacecraft, it is almost certainly piloted by a dark Jedi. It is difficult for me to guarantee that I can really hit him. "The adjutant said.
"The second feasible option? What about the first one?" The commander's face also looked ugly. "You know...sir," the adjutant replied.
Destroy this Eclipse-class prototype ship... The fleet commander closed his eyes and thought of the most reliable answer at present.
Should these fugitives be allowed to use the Eclipse-class prototype ship as a cover to escape, or should the prototype ship be destroyed? No matter which one of these two choices you choose, there will be very serious consequences.
Because in this case, he will be blamed no matter what.
The high position that I have climbed to for half my life may come to an end today...
The commander walked to his seat on the bridge and sat down tiredly. After a long time, he stood up suddenly, his bloodshot eyes looked extremely fierce, and said sternly: "Give me the order for all battleships! Fire with all your strength! Destroy the Eclipse-class prototype ship!!!"
"Sir! This is …”
"Execute the order!!" The commander roared loudly and angrily.
Following his order, the large and small warships of the Kuat defense fleet opened fire and fired wildly at the Eclipse-class prototype ship!
Turbine laser cannons, missiles, torpedoes...all weapons used to attack ships are launched without reservation!
Countless explosions and flames immediately surrounded this 17,500-meter-long giant ship. Almost the entire prototype ship was a frame structure, with not much external armor at all. The only armor belt was to maintain the structure. Complete and installed to protect the test process of the power system.
Under such a devastating blow, the Eclipse-class prototype ship immediately began to explode and disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But the battleships of the Kuart Defense Fleet did not notice that the Lancer had already started the hyperspace engine the moment they started firing! In front of two powerful Force users, Priestess and Judgment, they successfully predicted that the Republic fleet was about to open fire, and they immediately made this choice!
This is a very crazy move!
Because now they have not completely escaped from the gravity well of the Kuat planet, and they are still inside the Eclipse-class battleship!
To do this is to seek death!
However, there is still a glimmer of hope...
Priestess, Depa-Bilaba.
Before the war broke out, she had also participated in the overseas exploration plan proposed by Master Sebaos. Although she did not join when it was finally implemented, she carried out his research in Sebaos and used the Force to During the experiment to forcibly stabilize hyperspace and create navigable conditions, she, who was still Master Windu's apprentice at the time, was one of the participants.
This is also their last chance!
Kleist took control of this Eclipse-class prototype ship, at least giving them a chance to gamble their lives!
And now...
A white light flashed past, and the Lancer disappeared instantly with some internal parts of the Eclipse-class prototype ship. Less than a second after the spacecraft entered hyperspace, countless gunfire instantly submerged the Eclipse-class prototype ship!
