Chapter 255: The Arms Race Just Started
The Acclamator-class Assault Ship, the full being name Acclamator-class Transgalactic Military Assault Ship, is a classic designed and built by Rothana Heavy Engineering Company under Kuat Drive Yards.
This kind of Battleship is 752 meters wide, 460 meters wide, and 200 meters high. It presents a flat and wide triangular shape. A smaller bridge is located at the rear of the Battleship. It has no portholes for protection and relies entirely on advanced navigation. systems and sensors to drive.
The Acclamator-class Assault Ship is equipped with very powerful firepower, including 12 Quadruple Turbolaser Turrets, 4 sets of Proton Torpedo Launchers, and 24 sets of Point-Defense Turrets. Most of the turrets are arranged on the side of the hull. This design is mainly to facilitate orbital bombing, the transport of supplies, troops and equipment for ground and water landings.
At the same time, in order to take into account the problem of landing operations, the Acclamator class Assault Ship is equipped with very Heavy Armor, especially the Armor on the bottom of the Battleship is even stronger. This kind of Armor adopts the most advanced technology—the scattered neutrons are directly compressed into the Armor material, greatly increasing the neutron density of the Armor, so that this Armor can even directly withstand the bombing of Proton Torpedoes.
This kind of firepower and protection can be said to be excellent even as a Battleship. Moreover, each Acclamator-class Assault Ship can carry 16,000 Soldiers, 80 Fighters and 84 Tanks and Armored Vehicles, in addition to 320 armed hoverbikes as a reconnaissance force.
Moreover, the powerful engines of the spacecraft determine that they can easily enter and exit the planet's atmosphere for combat.
In other words, an Acclamator-class Assault Ship can transport the soldiers of an entire legion, and can directly provide air cover or even orbital bombing support for the legion.
There is no doubt that the appearance of the Acclamator-class Assault Ship is definitely in violation of the agreement of Russan's reform! And this spaceship has now entered the testing stage. In other words, the Kuat Drive Yards had already treated the Russan reform as waste paper a few years ago.
Now that the Kuat Drive Yards has announced this warship the meaning is very clear. Anyway, regardless of whether you place an order for the Galactic Republic, I have already built the things and put them here. Not only that, but they are also very powerful and easy to use. It's up to you whether you buy them or not.
In response to the Acclamator-class Assault Ships, the Trade Federation announced two plans. The first one is to transform the giant cargo ship that they own so their cargo ships can be used as large warships.
And their second plan is to cooperate with Rendili StarDrive to prepare for the development of a new generation of warships. This warship is developed and improved based on the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser to meet modern combat needs. The size of the warship is scheduled to exceed 1,000 meters.
This project is called Project Providence, and the Quarren people, who are very developed in the shipbuilding industry, also participated in this project and established a new company - the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps.
Several other corporate giants have also announced their warship manufacturing plans.
But what people didn't expect was that the fastest walking here was actually the Fourth Group!
The day after Kuat Drive Yards announced that the Acclamator-class Assault Ship had entered the testing phase, and the Ruusan reform agreement was in vain, the Fourth Group released a brand new warship——
Revelation-class Light Cruiser!
This kind of Battleship is 344 meters long. It is a technology in "Homeworld". It was originally classified as a Destroyer, but according to the classification rules of the Fourth Civilization, it is classified as a Light Cruiser.
The Battleship is equipped with 2 Twin-Mounted Large Plasma Cannons and 2 Twin-Mounted Large Turbolaser Cannons. While possessing good firepower, it is incredibly fast and flexible to maneuver!
The speed and steering of the Revelation-class Light Cruiser can even be compared with the 108-meter-long Assault-class Light Destroyer!
Now this kind of highly maneuverable and high-firepower warship has almost become the symbol of the Fourth Group of warships. Whether it is the Assault-class Light Destroyer or the Cobalt-class Light Frigate they produce, now coupled with the Revelation-class Light Cruiser, they are very maneuverable. This is because the positioning of these warships is very accurate, and they will not pay attention to one ship doing all the things, all they need is to do their job well and do their job well.
For example, in the Revelation-class Light Cruiser, the very clear combat target is the opponent's capital ship and only the capital ship. Therefore, they are fast, flexible, and powerful, and there is not even a point defense turret on the spaceship. In the future combat plan of the Fourth Civilization, the task of air defense will be handed over to other warships or Fighters.
Undoubtedly, according to the provisions of the Russan reform treaty, the Revelation-class Light Cruiser is also exceeding the standard. Although the exceeding standard is not as blatant as the Acclamator-class Assault Ship, it is more practical.
Because it is undoubtedly impossible for a spaceship like the Acclamator-class Assault Ship not to be supplied to any organization other than the Republic's military, and it is impossible for the Republic to allow other organizations to have this kind of ship and launch it on a planet. The powerful warships that attacked fell into the hands of other groups.
But the Revelation-class Light Cruiser is different. With a price tag of 3.5 million credits, many people can afford it.
And more importantly, the Fourth Group directly announced that the Revelation-class Light Cruiser has now started to lay the production line and can accept orders, and the first Battleship will start construction within a year!
The large and small organizations in the Galaxy suddenly realized that there are people who can move faster than the Kuat Drive Yards!
Although the performance of the Revelation-class Light Cruiser is much worse than that of the most classic Battleship of the same class - the 325-meter-long Arquitens-class Light Cruiser, but in comparison, the Revelation-class Light Cruiser is better than the Arquitens-class Light Cruiser. The advent of the early 10 years! Get a head start on the market for Corvettes.
In this way, even an industrial giant like Kuat Drive Yards couldn't help but really start to look seriously at the small industrial enterprise of the Fourth Group.
Various industrial enterprises and business tycoons come on stage, and although their positions are opposite, their actions are surprisingly consistent, that is, they directly tore up the Russan reform treaty and threw it on the ground to step on over and over again.
The behavior of these companies, for Finis Valorum, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate who wanted to negotiate conditions for these business giants by lifting the treaty restrictions, where is his ass, it is clearly his face!
Do you think we would be grateful for your proposal? I'm sorry, throwing this agreement out to feed the dogs is just a matter of our words!
