Kilsager and Chat Groups

The atmosphere in the makeshift parliament hall of the Galactic Republic was both solemn and enthusiastic.

The head of Quarter Power Shipyard stood on the podium, facing a large group of Republican members of parliament, and gave a detailed introduction to their latest cruiser project—the Hope-class cruiser.

The Hope-class cruisers fully absorbed the shortcomings of the Jagdpanzer-class cruisers' single, large hangar and transformed it into multiple small shuttle pads.

In this way, all fighter jets do not have to take off from a single shuttle, greatly improving combat efficiency and flexibility.

The Hope-class cruisers featured meticulously designed and optimized gun corps, giving them greater firepower.

This will enable the Hope-class cruisers to strike the enemy more effectively in combat and provide more reliable fire support for the Republic Fleet.

Regarding the ship's length, the person in charge proudly announced that the Hope-class cruiser has reached an impressive length of 2300 meters.

This not only makes it look more spectacular, but more importantly, it provides more space for the arrangement of internal facilities and weapons, further enhancing the cruiser's overall performance.

Of course, since this warship was designed and built under emergency conditions, there may be some undiscovered defects and weaknesses.

This is a common occurrence during wartime, where weapons and equipment are improved and upgraded very quickly.

Everyone present understood this principle, so they were not overly worried about the potential problems of the Hope-class cruisers.

Finally, the person in charge revealed that as the war progresses, they will closely monitor the data and battle reports from the front lines.

Based on the actual situation, the subsequent improved models of the Hope-class cruisers—the Hope-class Type 2 and Hope-class Type 3—are expected to be unveiled soon.

In addition, the construction of the Imperial-class Type II has been put on the agenda, which will further enhance the strength of the Republic Fleet.

The shortcomings of her external shield generator were finally exposed in actual combat. This design, which was originally highly anticipated, should have greatly increased the construction speed of the Imperial-class warships, while avoiding the warships from becoming too bulky.

During intense engagements with the new Confederate fleet, the Imperial-class's design did not reveal many problems. The axial gun frigates' focused arc launchers directly ignored the Imperial-class's shields and armor, causing some damage to its hull.

After destroying the Imperial-class Star Destroyer's shields, the Destroyer will not give the enemy enough time and energy to activate the shields a second time. Moreover, the two shield generators will also enhance the strength of the Imperial-class shields to some extent.

These battle reports greatly boosted the confidence of the designers at Quarter Power Dock. They once believed that the Imperial-class ships did not need large-scale modifications, but only needed appropriate enhancements to their firepower and aircraft capacity.

However, just as the design team was confidently preparing to submit the blueprints for the Empire II, shocking bad news suddenly came from the front lines.

In the fierce space battle, several massive Imperial-class Star Destroyers suffered a catastrophic attack.

Confederate bombers, like a swarm of ferocious bees, accurately attacked the shield generators of these Star Destroyers.

The shield generator was destroyed instantly, and the Star Destroyer, now unprotected, became an easy target for the Confederate warships.

The Confederate warships relentlessly unleashed concentrated fire on the shieldless Star Destroyers, bombarding their hulls with intense barrage and causing severe damage.

Ultimately, these once-powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyers were overwhelmed and sunk one after another.

This crushing defeat put the Imperial design team under immense pressure, forcing them to re-examine and revise the design of the Imperial Type 2 Star Destroyer.

It turned out that the original design for the Confederate warships was unreliable and required a complete redesign.

After a long period of effort, the design of the Imperial Type II Star Destroyer was finally completed, but by then a considerable amount of time had passed.

The construction of the Imperial Type 2 Star Destroyer has only just begun.

However, at the same time, the Republic's members of parliament turned their attention more to another new type of warship—the Hope-class cruiser.

At an important meeting, Quarter Dynamics Dockyard submitted a remarkable new draft.

This draft showcases design sketches of a 7-kilometer-long interstellar dreadnought, a massive warship that would undoubtedly become a new favorite of the Republic Navy, attracting the attention of many Republic members of parliament who desire powerful toys.

As expected, the proposal was passed at the meeting.

Even Palpatine showed great interest in this interstellar dreadnought, requesting an order for three of these giant warships at once to enhance the strength of the Republic Navy.

Meanwhile, in the Independent Galaxy Confederation, the Death Star is under construction in orbit around a planet named Maginot by Kilshazz.

The construction of the Death Star is nearly complete, and this massive battle base is about to unleash its terrifying power.

To protect the Death Star's construction facilities, a large number of Revival-class Star Destroyers and Axis Gun Frigates were deployed around it, forming a tight defensive line.

Furthermore, interstellar fortresses were also established around the Death Star to closely monitor the surrounding airspace and prevent the Republic Navy from launching a surprise attack on the construction facilities.

"Seventh Defense Fleet, please be aware! We have detected an unknown signal within your patrol area. Please investigate immediately." An urgent warning came through the communication channel.

"Roger that! We will dispatch two TIE interceptors to conduct reconnaissance." The commander of the Seventh Defense Fleet responded quickly.

With the roar of engines, two TIE interceptors were launched from the hangar of the Revival-class Star Destroyer like lightning.

At the same time, a nearby hull gun frigate also quickly took action, releasing dozens of drones to form a search formation together with TIE interceptors.

However, in this vast universe, two uninvited guests are lurking in the shadow of an asteroid.

They were once Jedi Knights, but now they have become judges of the Republic.

The two former Jedi Knights shut down the fighter jet's power system and relied solely on oxygen tanks to breathe.

They used the power of the Force to lower their body temperature to extremely low levels, as if they were one with their surroundings.

Time passed slowly, and the asteroid floated silently in the darkness, like a lonely stone in the universe.

Finally, the TIE interceptor spotted the asteroid. Several drones immediately swarmed forward to conduct a comprehensive scan of the asteroid.

Just as the drone was about to detect the location of the two Republic Inquisitors, they suddenly unleashed the Force, powerfully disrupting the drone's scanning signal.

The drone scan revealed that the asteroid had no internal anomalies; it was simply a celestial body with several cavities.

"The scan results are in; it's just an ordinary asteroid," the TIE interceptor's wingman reported.

"Okay, upload the data, then we'll orbit the asteroid a few more times and then return."

And so, an asteroid carrying two judges of the Republic quietly passed the patrol fleet and drifted toward Maginot.
