Chapter 530: Fighting Geonosis Again (1)
At the same time, on Geonosis, a tragic space battle has just begun.
The Galactic Republic Fleet jumped out of Hyperspace and immediately had a fierce exchange of fire with the long-awaited Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet.
Due to the unevenness of the Warships in the Republic Fleet and the different levels of Hyperspace Drives, the first to arrive on the battlefield were 18 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers. Among the Flagship, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet, Jedi Master Depa Billaba stood in the center of the bridge a little tired, looking at the Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet waiting in front of him with a serious expression.
A series of powerful Blaster Energy Beams have been launched continuously, passing around their Battleship, or directly hitting the Deflector Shield, causing bursts of halos. Due to the rapid turn of the Battleship, the internal Artificial Gravity could not be adjusted in time, and it felt like the whole person was tilted up.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is not a simple battle... I feel death in The Force, countless deaths..."
"We feel it too, Master." Dream Luna nodded, her peaceful expression didn't have too many waves.
"Hey, no one is immortal in a war. As long as Master Yoda can be rescued, then it will be fine!" Phantasm Luna said aside.
Depa Billaba glanced back at her, Phantasm Luna hurriedly covered her forehead and looked scared, "Ah, I mean...meaning that if Master Yoda can be rescued, we can save more lives, right, right?"
Depa Billaba nodded slightly, turned around and said: "Get ready, lead the Fighter Squadron to set off, and buy time for the arrival of our follow-up Fleet."
"Yes, Master." Dream Luna put her hands on her lower abdomen, bent down and bowed, and said lightly.
Phantasm Luna felt that she had escaped a catastrophe, and made a playful face at her sister, sticking out her tongue, who knew that a pen on the table next to her suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit her forehead with a slap. Phantasm Luna yelled, clutching her forehead and running away.
Opposite the Republic Fleet, 5 Providence-class Destroyers, 20 Munificent-class Frigates, 5 Recusant-class Light Destroyers, and 20 Assault-class Light Destroyers are arranged in a trapezoidal formation, guarding the rear 3 Lucrehulk-class Battleships.
At this moment, these Battleships fully fired, firing fiercely at the first batch of 18 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers that arrived, and countless Turbolasers and Blaster Beams were continuously fired.
On a Providence-class Destroyer as the Flagship, a spider-like Hatch with 6 arms touched the claws at the corner of his mouth with one hand, and tapped it with a pointer in the other hand, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Judging from the formation of the Republic, they still have follow-up Battleships, and even the level of Hyperspace Drives cannot be unified, so they are very anxious... tsk tsk tsk."
Admiral Trench, his original plan was to lead the Corporate Alliance Fleet to attack Christophsis, but the battle situation on Geonosis was urgent, and he was transferred back to the defense by General Grievous.
"We should go straight up and use all our firepower to wipe out the Republic's Fleet." The T-series Tactical Droid standing next to him said in that flat electronic voice.
"No... tsk tsk tsk. Take off, half of the Fighters, disrupt the formation of the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers, tsk tsk tsk tsk. If I remember correctly... the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser does not have too much Starfighter capacity." Trench shook the pointer in his hand and said.
Following his instructions, the Warships of the Confederacy of Independent Systems opened their Hangars one after another, and a large number of Vulture Droid Fighters took off densely and flew directly towards the Republic Fleet.
"Notify all Warships, hold on, suppress firepower, but do not leave the formation without authorization... Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Admiral Trench said.
"Aim at the target and fire." The T-series Tactical Droid raised its hand and slashed down.
"Roger Roger." The B-1 Droid controlling the spaceship immediately pressed the fire button, and the Quad Turbolaser Cannons in front of the Providence-class Destroyer instantly fired a dazzling beam of light, hitting a Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser in an instant, causing the Deflector Shield to ripple.
At the same time, the Vulture Droid Fighters had already engaged the Republic Fleet, and the 20 Quad Light Turbolasers on the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser opened fire with all their strength, and countless small Turbolaser Beams continued to flash across the space.
However, there are too many Vulture Droid Fighters, and the Dreadnought's Fire Control System cannot accurately target and track the extremely fast and very agile Droid Fighters. These Vulture Droid Fighters continuously fired Twin Blaster Cannons, Energy Torpedoes, Concussion Missiles and Buzz Droids. The Deflector Shield Energy of the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser in the battle is all concentrated in the front. In order to deal with the attack of Fighters, these Warships had to allocate energy to strengthen the defense of other directions of the Warship.
Taking care of this and losing sight of the other, the Deflector Shields of three Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers were smashed immediately, their armor was continuously bombarded, Buzz Droids attempted sabotage and they began to turn to prepare to withdraw from the battle.
At the same time, the Fighters of the Republic Fleet finally took off!
Each Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser is equipped with 12 Fighters, and there are only 216 Fighters at full capacity, most of which are V-19 Torrent Fighters.
However, no one noticed that there was a different Fighter mixed in this group
ARC-170 Heavy Starfighter!
This is a new type of Fighter jointly developed by Incom Corporation and a small Engineering Company called Sublights Products Corporation. It is a new generation of Heavy-Duty Multifunctional Starfighters used to replace the Z-95 Headhunter in their production line. This kind of Fighter has the same name as Arc - always only the best Starfighter.
At present, ARC-170 is undergoing final tests and test flights, and it is expected that it will be equipped with the Grand Republic Army on a large scale in a few months.
However, this ARC-170 Starfighter is different from the standard model. This Starfighter has removed the two powerful Laser Cannons on the left and right wings, removed the rear Turret, and replaced it with a more powerful engine for mobility.
The original three-seater ARC-170 Starfighter has now been reduced to two seats, and in the two cockpits, there are respectively a girl in a red robe and a girl in a blue robe.
More than 200 Fighters of the Republic Fleet bravely rushed to the terrifying Fleet of thousands of Vulture Droid Fighters, and the tragic air battle began.
"Ah, sister, sister, it's started." Phantasm Luna, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a tactical eyepiece with a microphone, put it on Dream Luna, and casually said.
"I'm ready, Phantasm." Dream Luna still looked cold, she was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and the tactical eyepiece had already been meticulously put on her head.
"Hahahahaha!! Let these people experience our world!" Phantasm Luna laughed loudly, but there was an arrogance that violated harmony in the silver-like laughter.
Beep, beep, beep!!
Almost at the same time, whether it was the Warship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems where Admiral Trench was located or the internal programs of each of the Vulture Droid Fighters that attacked, there were alarm signals!
Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of eyes of Warship Operators, Pilots, and Commanders on both sides, the number of Fighters launched by the Republic instantly turned into thousands!!
Moreover, every Fighter was clearly recorded by the Radar System!
Even the most powerful Electronic Systems think that these Fighters...
Are real!
