Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 170: The Battle of Malastare (5)

"Hyperspace interference has been detected!! We are about to depart from Hyperspace!!" The navigator in the Republic fleet screamed loudly.

Wullf Yularen was shocked, "What's the situation? Now we are 0.07 seconds away from the preset position!!"

"It's a Hyperspace Blocker!!" the navigator said loudly.

Just as he was speaking, the scenery outside the window suddenly went dark, and the countless bright lights in the hyperspace voyage disappeared instantly, replaced by the black curtain dotted with countless diamonds.

And... a fleet!!

Just less than 200 kilometers away from them!!

"Enemy fleet found! Distance 189.2!"

"We're ambushed!"

"Raise the shield! Raise the shield!!"

"No! Lower the shield! Get ready to fire!!" Most of the soldiers in this fleet were local defense fleets that had been trained laxly.

Wullf Yularen shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet! Get ready for battle! All warships stop advancing and line up to meet the enemy! Z-95 Fighters take off immediately to protect our array!"

"The opponent has launched a Fighter! The number is 18, and the speed is 15,000 meters per second! The estimated contact time is 20 seconds!!"

Cold sweat began to drip down Yularen's forehead. The distance of 200 kilometers is too close! The other party seemed to have fully calculated his plan, and then carefully arranged a trap, waiting for them to step into it!

He said loudly: "Enlarge the optical image of their fleet and identify their spaceship models!"

"Spaceship model, a Hammerhead-class Cruiser, heavily modified! The remaining 71 spacecraft cannot identify the model! The Fighter model is a Wraith Fighter! There are 319 other spacecraft that follow!" The operator replied.

"Wraith Fighter? Is it the kind that is very popular on the black market now?" Captain Yularen felt a little startled, "And there are still a large number of unidentifiable warships? Which organization is this?"

"Missile attack detected!"

Yularen didn't have time to think, and said loudly: "Turn on the electronic jamming! Point defense turrets and get ready!"

Here, Tang Xiao's Fourth Civilization Fleet has already started to accelerate when it sensed the crisis in advance. When the Republic Fleet left hyperspace, the Fourth Civilization Fleet had already accelerated!

Now the mercenary fleet of the entire Corporate Alliance is in a diamond formation, with the Fourth Civilization fleet rushing forward, the Corporate Alliance fleet in the middle, the Scarlet Dawn and White Worm fleets lined up on the left and right, and the Sycudia pirates chaotically following at the end of the large force.

It is not to use the fleet of the Fourth Civilization as cannon fodder, but to give full play to the best characteristics of their respective fleets. The five Fantail-class Destroyers of the Corporate Alliance are only equipped with a Large Turbolaser Cannon, which is powerful but not suitable for chaotic battles. In addition to the Cobalt-class Light Frigate in the fleet of the Fourth Civilization, all other spaceships are good at fighting melee!

The fleet moved forward at full speed, and took off Fighters for the first time!

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the Wraith Fighter has entered the range of the Republic Fleet. However, from the time the Republic Fleet leaves hyperspace to the time the Wraith Fighter enters the range, there is only a little more than 2 minutes in total, and there is no time to react!

Now the Republic Fleet has only one chance to fire. Should it attack the Wraith Fighter, or wait a few seconds before attacking the opposing fleet?

The cold sweat on Wullf Yularen's forehead grew more and more. He waved his hand violently and said loudly: "The Z-95 Fighters rush forward to meet the enemy! The near-fire cannons are fully fired! Don't fire all the main guns of the spaceship! Repeat, don't!" Wasting shooting opportunities on opposing Fighters!"

At the same time as the order was issued, the Fighters of both sides strangled together!

12 Z-95s vs. 18 Wraiths!

These 18 Wraith Fighters all took off from Hammerhead-class Cruisers, Wraith Fighters piloted by Jackals!

In recent months, the Hammerhead-class Cruiser Iron Fang has been burning and looting on Tatooine, and each of these gnolls has the blood of those smugglers and bounty hunters on their hands.

Facing the fleet of the Republic at this moment, they are not only not afraid, but excited!

"Quack!! Kill! Kill, kill, kill!!!" The Jackal drivers turned on the public channels one after another and conveyed their terrifying faces like dinosaurs to every soldier of the Republic through holographic projection.

At the same time, the joysticks in their hands were completely non-stop, controlling the flexible steering of the Wraith Fighter, and scattered in an instant before the near-fire force of the Republic Fleet arrived. And while dodging, they have already pressed the launch button!

Gemini Missiles, salvo!

36 Gemini Missiles were launched in an instant. Shocked by the powerful maneuverability of the Wraith Fighter, the driver of the Republic whose brain nerves could not keep up with the reaction was horrified to see these Missiles approaching in an instant!

Almost at this moment, 5 Z-95 Fighters were destroyed!

Not only the performance gap of the Fighters, how could these pilots of the Republic's Regional Defense Fleet, who usually don't even have many flying missions, compare with these blood-licking Jackals?

The Republic Fleet can provide very limited fire support for its own Fighters. After the 60 CSS-1 Corellian-class Star Shuttles are refitted, there are only two Turbolaser Cannons in front, which can only shoot directly in front. Although the 20 Consular-class Cruisers are equipped with turrets added but, because it was modified later, the coverage area is very small.

The Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser with powerful firepower is located in the center of the formation because it is the flagship, and those cunning Jackal pilots will never approach the Dreadnought-class at all, but circle around from a distance.

In the end, the only thing that could provide near-fire support was the 120 PB-950 Patrol Boats. However, compared with the Wraith Fighter, which is one of the most advanced Fighters in the Galaxy, this kind of thing from 300 years ago is even a problem in locking, let alone shooting!

The Z-95 Fighter is no match for the Wraith Fighter at all, and three more Fighters were shot down, and the remaining four Fighters can only flee towards the core of their own fleet.

"Not good! Our fighters are no match!!" The captain of a Consular-class Cruiser exclaimed, "Fire! Fire! All turrets fire! Support our Fighters!"

One ship opened fire, followed by several others, and Captain Yularen's ban immediately became ineffective.

"Wait a minute! The opponent's main fleet has approached a dangerous distance! Order all fleets, don't fire at Fighters! Don't fire!" Wullf Yularen said loudly, a little panicked.

However, his reaction was already one step slower!

Countless Blue Laser Beams arrived in an instant, shining on the shields of several CSS-1 Corellian-class Star Shuttles at the forefront of the fleet!

"We're in range! They're firing!!" the orderly shouted hoarsely.
