Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 496: The First Step

Chapter 496: The First Step

200 Capital Ships!

This is the strength of the Fourth Civilization Navy now!

These include 50 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, 80 Kol-class Battlecruisers, 40 Sova-class Carriers, and 30 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers.

These are Capital Ships of the kilometer class, of which the Kol-class is 1,100 meters long, the Hiigaran-class is 1,009 meters long, the Sova-class is 1,300 meters long, and the Marza-class is 940 meters long.

In addition, there are more than 600 Small and Medium-sized Warships of various types.

Currently serving in the Fourth Civilization Navy, there are also Cielo-class Command Cruisers, Hoshiko-class Robotics Cruisers, Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyers, Cobalt-class Heavy Frigates, Revelation-class Light Cruisers, Assault-class Light Destroyers, Javelis LRM-class Missile Frigate, Valkyrie-class Light Missile Frigate, Stilat-class Light Frigate, Shriken-class Light Frigate, and Garda-class Flak Destroyer.

Among them, the Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyer is the strongest Battleship to enter the Fourth Civilization Navy. This Battleship from "Sins of a Solar Empire" was originally a Heavy Cruiser, but because it was only 290 meters long, it was downgraded to a Heavy Destroyer.

This Heavy Destroyer puts great emphasis on defensive capabilities. It is equipped with extremely Thick Armor, and a 300mm Caliber Super-Heavy Rapid-Fire AutoCannon is installed on the top and on both sides of the Battleship. This Rapid-Fire AutoCannon can fire at a speed of 400 Rounds per Minute with Heavy Shells up to 300mm.

Moreover, depending on the warhead of the Shell, it can also play different roles, including Plasma Shells, High-Explosive Shells, Electromagnetic Shells, and Armor-Piercing Shells.

In order to maximize the power of these three AutoCannons, in addition to Heavy Armor, the Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyer also has a Shield with a very High Capacity and a powerful Thruster Engine. This allows this Heavy Destroyer to reach an acceleration of up to 3300G! This straight-line speed is even faster than a Fighter!

The Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyer rushed directly into the battlefield from an unexpected direction when it couldn't start the situation, and then quickly approached the local Warship, pouring out a huge amount of Large-Caliber Shells in a short period of time, inflicting fatal damage on the opponent's Warship.

Of course, such High Energy consumption and Ammunition consumption make the Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyer lack effective endurance.

This combat mode has never appeared in this Galaxy.

200 Capital Ships and more than 600 Small and Medium-Sized Warships are divided into three Main Fleets, of which Matt Horner, Commander of Fleet A, has 10 Sova-class Carriers, 50 Kol-class Battlecruisers and 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers.

Fleet B, commanded by Sev'rance Tann, has 20 Kol-class Battlecruisers, 20 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers and 20 Sova-class Carriers.

Fleet C is the Central Fleet responsible for guarding the Endor System. It has 20 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, 10 Kol-class Battlecruisers and 10 Sova-class Carriers.

There are also 30 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers that have not yet joined active service because they have not yet completed outfitting. It is expected that after 3 months, these Warships will be strengthened to 10 ships for each Fleet.

Matt Horner and Sev'rance Tann's requirements for Capital Ships also show their different command styles.

Matt Horner is more interested in the powerful firepower of the Kol-class Battlecruisers. His Fleet Command ideas are more traditional, mainly focusing on the Artillery Battles between the two sides.

Sev'rance Tann's Command is more flexible. Influenced by the style of the Chiss Naval Academy, Tann pays more attention to post-strike. Therefore, the Sova-class Carrier is a very important means to contain the enemy in her opinion, and when she needs to launch an assault with the Kol-class Battlecruiser, the overall situation is basically settled.

The number of Fleets that Dawn reported to Count Dooku was also this number.

Soon, an appointment was sent from the Separatist Supreme Military Command in preparation, appointing Tang Xiao as the Commander of the Western Territory Theater, and appointing Matt Horner and Sev'rance Tann as Admirals.

As for the Western Territory Theater, in fact, because the Endor System is relatively close to the Western Border and Unknown Regions of the Milky Way, and most of the surrounding planets are neutral or uninhabited planets at all, so in fact, there is only the political position of the Dawn around here.

This is actually a habit inherited from the Galactic Republic. All those who are qualified to lead a Fleet alone must be awarded the rank of Admiral.

The current Supreme Leader of the Separatist Movement is Count Dooku, and all the Commanders and Admirals of each Theater are directly responsible to Count Dooku.

After that, as the Core Members of the Separatist Movement, the Fourth Group and Dawn also got their own privileges. They will receive a considerable War Tax from each Separatist Planet according to the size of the Army they participate in the battle, and this tax will be collected by the Administrative Agency of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

In fact, this is also a way to pass on the cost of war to the people, allowing those innocent people to pay for the war of a few careerists.

In his speech, Count Dooku described this War Tax as a "necessary payment for the New Order", and said that in order to overthrow the powerful Galactic Republic, win freedom for the people of the Outer Rim, and lead everyone to get rid of the Inner Rim and the Core Worlds Exploitation of the surrounding Planets is not an easy task, and everyone must work together and give everything to win.

In other words, the Thousands of Systems that joined the Separatist Movement paid their own money to hire those Corporate Giants and Planets with Advanced Industries to help them fight this war.

But now, those Outer Rim Planets that have been exploited by the noble class of the Galactic Republic have long been unbearable. Even if they know this road is a glass of poisoned wine, they will drink it without hesitation.

Under the leadership of Francis Underwood, the Prime Minister's Office of the Fourth Civilization began to implement the Administrative Reform of the Fourth Civilization itself, and on the other hand, it began to merge Administratively and Militarily with the soon-to-be-established Confederacy of Independent Systems. At the same time, Tang Xiao was also discussing the first battle plan in the Ministry of Defense.

"First of all, I have confirmed with you that if there is no external interference, then this war will break out on Planet Geonosis within a month, under a mixture of a large number of accidental and inevitable conditions. Tang Xiao looked at the senior Military Officer of the Fourth Civilization sitting opposite him with a serious face.

General Xian Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Admiral Igor Zavarov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Matt Horner, Admiral Sev'rance Tann, Mrs. M, the Head of the Military Intelligence Department, and Helmut Zemo, the Head of the Cabinet.

Tang Xiao said seriously: "The first thing we have to do is to reverse this future. On Planet Geonosis, we must win!"
