2087, Battle of Kristofxis (Part 1)
Planet Kristofxis, outer space.
A fleet consisting of two Destiny class cruisers, four Defiant class destroyers, and three Valiant class frigates were guarding a Rukri Hook-class battleship in the middle of the formation. They were in a defensive formation, hovering about 100,000 kilometers away from planet Kristofxis.
This Rukri Hook-class battleship was the flagship of this fleet. Even though this battleship was originally modified from a cargo ship and had many flaws, its unique design was like a doughnut. For example, the doughnut-like design of the spaceship caused the cannons of the spaceship to be very unsightly. There were many blind spots. Once a Space Combat Jet got close to the spaceship, the close range firepower of the battleship would be ineffective against the opponent's spaceship. In fact, the spaceship might even hit itself. Furthermore, this battleship's armor was very weak. Once the deflector shield was broken, even the firepower of a few bombers would be enough to deal a fatal blow to this 3,170-meter battleship.
However, the Rukri Hook-class battleship had an incomparable advantage. First was the 1029-meter diameter spherical core spaceship in the middle of the doughnut. The spaceship had a large carrying capacity. It could even carry 300,000 B-1 robots at most! Furthermore, the hangar space on top of the doughnut was very large. It could carry 1,500 Vulture fighter jets and 50 C-9979 transport jets. If some space was sacrificed for the robots, it could even carry 6,000 AAT tanks!
Even though the cannon turrets could not cover the spaceship's blind spots, once the distance was pulled apart, the Rukri Hook-class battleship's firepower was still very high! It was equipped with 42 large turbo laser cannons, 472 medium laser cannons, 164 point defense laser cannons, and 48 fixed turbo laser cannons! In a long distance battle, the Rukri Hook-class battleship could fire while rotating. This gave the turbo laser cannons time to cool down and recharge, allowing the battleship's firepower to continue!
Therefore, whenever the Republic saw a Rukri Hook-class battleship, they would not send their own battleships to fight it head-on. Instead, they would concentrate a large number of Space Combat Jets to attack. Even so, with their powerful firepower and strong carrying capacity, even if only one Rukri Hook-class battleship appeared, it would often mean the fall of a planet. This was undeniable.
In the Battle of Naboo ten years ago, the Trade Federation used 12 Rukri Hook-class battleships to show off their military power. At that time, the Republic's judicial fleet did not even have the intention to use force. They only dared to send people to negotiate. This showed the deterrent power of such battleships. It was also because of this that one could see how important the 18 Rukri Hook-class battleships were to Emma Frost in the Rukri Hook-class battleships for the Independent Star System Federation!
On Cambridge, Fox Deity was browsing the information of the Rukri Hook-class battleships in the database while sighing in of of. If the Two, the battleship, the Dynasty, and 3, the Federation 1, 1, 1, 2, one, and 1. Dynasty System A Federation 1, 1, I, one, one, Ruk, 1, 2, and Star., 1, Two, and, 2, 1, 1, and
Unfortunately, after the end of the Clone Wars, most of these battleships had been dismantled by the Empire. Moreover, owning such battleships was considered a felony by the Empire. It was very dangerous to obtain and bring back a battleship.
But at least the good news was that the battle on the ground was going very smoothly. The troops had surrounded Topen, the largest city on planet Kristovsis. In fact, the population and cities on planet Kristovsis were very dense. The total population of the planet had reached a staggering 35 billion! This was also a common problem of many planets in the Galactic Republic — over-urbanization, over-population, lax armaments, and a heavy reliance on supplies from other planets.
Therefore, Fox Deity's strategy was to first take down Topen and Chardonia, an important city on planet Kristovsis, before the defenders of the planet could gather, to destroy their will to resist. Then, the Federation would send more reinforcements to carry out a full occupation of the planet.
At this time, a human soldier controlling the spacecraft's detector turned around and said loudly, "Hyperspace jump detected. Distance 577 kilometers. Number, 20!"
Admiral Trench, who had been sitting on the other side reading a book, suddenly stood up, opened the hologram, and pointed at the triangular red dot that represented the enemy ships with his pointer. "Looks like the Republic's fleet is here! Tsk tsk tsk tsk. "
Fox Deity also closed the data she was looking at, stood up, and asked the soldier, "How strong is the hyperspace reaction?"
"From the reaction, there's no doubt it's 20 Hunter-class cruisers!" The human soldier replied loudly.
"Inform all ships to adjust their direction. Aim the bow of the ship at the direction of the enemy's attack! Move the flagship backward, coordinates 332.790! The first wave of Vultures took off, 400 of them! Surround the flagship for protection, and clear the airspace near the surrounding warships! "Admiral Trench immediately issued a series of orders.
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Roger, roger." A series of responses came, some from human soldiers, and some from the B-1 robots.
About 2,000 human soldiers were chosen to serve on this Rukelihouk-class battleship. They and the other 8,000 or so B-1 robots formed the crew of the battleship to increase their experience. And the human soldiers who were chosen were all the best of the best, and with the help of the information injection system in their brains, they were already familiar with the operation of the battleship.
At this time, more than 500 kilometers ahead, there was a sudden flash of light in the empty space, and then 20 battleships suddenly appeared out of the hyperspace! These battleships were all Hunter-class cruisers, and there was not even an Aquitense-class light cruiser used for firepower support. The Republic's determination to forcefully attack the blockade of Planet Kristovsis was clear!
Seeing this difference in military strength, Fox Deity also felt a little nervous. Their military strength was two Heaven-class cruisers, four Defiant destroyers, three Wai-class frigates, and a Rukelihouk-class battleship. Among them, only the Heaven-class cruiser's combat power could fight on par with the Hunter-class cruiser, or even slightly worse. And the other Defiant destroyers and Wai-class frigates would definitely not be able to defeat the opponent, not to mention the huge difference in military strength!
The intervention of the Planet Kristovsis was like the wings of a butterfly, slowly beginning to affect the course of the war. In the original plot, the Battle of Kristovsis did not break out so quickly, and it only broke out about seven weeks after the Battle of Planet Jabim. Moreover, the Galactic Republic's first round of counterattack was not that strong, and the first batch of reinforcements led by Anakin Skywalker only consisted of seven Hunter-class cruisers.
However, after seeing the military strength of the Planet Kristovsis, Count Dooku ordered them to attack Planet Jabim and Planet Kristovsis at the same time, bringing forward the arrival of the battle. Moreover, due to the fact that the Republic had suffered greater losses on Planet Jabim than in the original plot, and the Guardian planet army's offensive on Planet Kristofsith was even fiercer, the Republic paid more attention to the Guardian planet. Therefore, they had gathered 20 Hunter-class cruisers at once!
