Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 660: Bespin's Line of Defense

Bespin will be attacked again, which Tang Xiao and the Command of the Fourth Civilization have long expected. After all, for Dawn, Bespin is not only a Huge Source of Resources but also a very important Transportation Hub!

This time Tang Xiao's plan for Christophsis, the most critical link is the Hyperspace Lane of Bespin!

Therefore, the construction of the Bespin's Defense Line began to operate in the first second after the Gas Giant was captured.

And the Core Part of the Defense Line is the Argonev-class Star Fortress!

However, the construction of such a Huge Star Fortress will take at least a year. This has been confirmed by the Givin Civilization.

After all, the Yag'Dhul is not just the Homeworld of the Givin located in the Inner Rim, but also because it is the Super Shipyard of the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship!

Fortunately, the Galactic Republic has not yet noticed that the low-key and developed Givin Civilization has become a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems right under their noses!

At that time, Tang Xiao and the leadership of the Fourth Civilization racked their brains in order to form the Defense Line of Bespin in a short period of time. In the end, a Master Architect proposed a plan - using Local Materials! Just use the Floating Cities around Bespin as the Support Base!

The proposal was immediately approved and work on it began immediately. At that time, the Given Civilization dismantled some of the Core Components that had been built for a long time on the Two already completed Argonev-class Star Fortress' protecting Yag'Dhul and secretly transported them to Bespin.

After careful screening, the Engineering Team of the Fourth Civilization finally chose Shefa City as the Core Framework of the new Argonev-class Star Fortress.

Shefa City is a Factory Floating City, with a diameter of 6,000 meters and a height of about 7,000 meters. Its shape is also closest to the Argonev-class Star Fortress, and it is a boxy umbrella.

Moreover, this Floating City was originally built as a Large-Scale Factory for processing the Main Structure of Cloud City when Cloud City was being built. The Rich Gases in various Elements on Bespin were then extracted, and processed into some Rare Materials.

In this way, it is much easier to transform this Floating City, and those materials can be directly processed on the spot, and then installed.

In the end, when choosing the Construction Team, the Fourth Civilization chose the Vashans who joined the Fourth Civilization not long ago.

They were originally affiliated to the Ayrou Civilization. Later, the Ayrou Civilization stupidly went to War with the Fourth Civilization and after being beaten up, the Fourth Civilization also took advantage of the situation to turn them against the Ayrou Civilization. Tang Xiao personally canonized the Elders of the Vashans as, The Pope of Vasha, built a Golden Altar and Temple for them, and completely won the loyalty of the Vashans.

So this time, the Vashans, who wanted to contribute to the Family of the Fourth Civilization, took the initiative to undertake the construction of the Argonev-class interstellar base on Bespin.

They sent 1 Million Skilled Vashan Laborers to Bespin, and these Laborers were very good Engineers. They are very proficient in Mechanical Processing, Manufacturing, and the Construction of Giant Structures. They don't even need too much explanation from the Engineers of Dawn to understand, and most importantly, they are very strong, and they can complete many constructions quickly even if they cannot control SCVs.

What's more, the Vashans are not only strong, talented in Engineering, Hard-Working, but also very Adaptable. They can even seal the pores of their bodies and survive in the space environment for half an hour! Another time, because of some problems with the Spaceship transporting Supplies, these Vashans actually worked for a week without food, and they still didn't fall behind in the progress of the project, which made Tang Xiao greatly admire them.

So, with the efforts of all parties, Bespin actually built a magnificent Argonev-class Star Fortress in only two months!

In addition, there are 700 Gauss Defense Platforms, 300 Hangar Defense Platforms, and more than 100 Proximity Mine Fields.

Now, this solid Line of Defense is under full attack from the Main Force of the 19th Army of the Galactic Republic! This Huge Force of 80 Venator-class Star Destroyers, 20 Arquitens-class Light Cruisers, and 20,000 Starfighters [Note 1] is enough to make any opponent tremble!

As for the Fourth Civilization's Defenders, except for 5 Kol-class Battlecruisers and 5 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers, the rest are Smaller Warships, Including 10 Revelation-class Light Cruisers, 10 Kodiak-class Heavy Destroyers, 100 Cobalt-class Heavy Frigates, 150 Garda-class Flak Destroyers, and more than 500 Stilat-class Light Frigates/Shriken-class Light Frigates.

In addition, there are more than 120 Pulsar-class Light Frigates, more than 50 Assault-class Light Destroyers, and even the Gunship-class Light Frigates that have been retired from active service have been dragged out to be controlled by B-1 Battle Droids on the battlefield. Supporting these Warships are 10,000 Vulture Droid Starfighters and 2,000 Wraith Starfighters.

Igor Zavalov's Deployment for the First Phase of this Battle is to use a Large Number of Frigates and rely on the Argonev-class Star Fortress for Defense.

The Commander of the Galactic Republic Fleet, Admiral McGlenn, also put on an aggressive posture this time, and 80 Venator-class Star Destroyers directly pressed on, relying on Powerful Firepower and a Large Number of Starfighters to resolve the Battle at once.

In this way, no matter what moves you have, you can only go head-to-head with his Fleet, and this has never been something that the Fleet of the Republic has worried about!

Admiral McGlenn called his tactic the "Axe Tactic". It's like chopping someone with a Tomahawk, going forward without leaving stamina. Why use seven points of strength to save three points, nonsense, all he wants is to chop you to death with One Axe, not even a Second Blow!

With the Dense Firepower of the Defenders, 80 Venator-class Star Destroyers approached the range of Cloud City after paying the price of the destruction of 5 Venators and detected all Stealth Starfighters and Stealth Defense Platforms through the Powerful Sensors of the Star Destroyers. Directly that followed, the Defenders of the Fourth Civilization launched a meat-grinding battle!

[Note 1: I need to say here that I magnified a lot of Data in this Book. In the setting, the size of the Troops in "Star Wars" is very strange. During the Clone Wars, 159 V-19 Torrent Starfighters were used in the Battle of Muunilinst, which is called "Large-Scale use of V-19 Torrent Starfighters", which makes me very puzzled. On the one hand, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems have Tens of Thousands of Systems, and their Industrial capabilities are so strong! On the other hand, there are only so few 3 or 4 Venator-class Star Destroyers participating in each battle!

But the problem is, even if you only have 3 Venator-class Star Destroyers, you still have the carrying capacity of more than 1,200 Starfighters, right? And since the Galactic Empire can explode 26,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers in 20 years, then during the Clone Wars, you wouldn't have Single-Digit Warships in a single battle right? This is not reflected in the movie or animation.

Therefore, in many places in this Book, I have enlarged the Data to a more appropriate volume. Of course, the result of this is that the Military Strength Data of many Battles is seriously inconsistent with the settings, and it is a matter of opinion in this regard. ]
