According to the content of the Supreme Power Summit held at the end of 32BBY, the Fourth Civilization immediately started a comprehensive preparation for war. Tang Xiao also revoked the previous ban on the development of large warships that he personally issued at the meeting, and the shipbuilding industry of the Fourth Civilization was completely liberalized.
Because he previously encouraged Hego Damask II to build the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship, and Hego did indeed concentrate a lot of resources to build it.
The shipyard of this Titan Warship was secretly built on a moon around Planet Yag'Dhul. Planet Yag'Dhul is the hometown of the Givin (Note 1), surrounded by three large satellites, the gravitational environment is very complicated, so although this planet is located between the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Run Hyperspace Channel It is on an important node, but it has not become a traffic artery.
The Givin people are very good spaceship engineers, but because of the crowding out of the Inner Ring of the Galactic Republic and the planets in the core area, they don't have much room for display. But in fact, because of the living environment of the Givin people, they must accurately calculate the operation mode of the three satellites in order to ensure a timely response to the tide caused by gravity. Mathematics is the tool they rely on for survival, and they even regard mathematics as a god.
Therefore, the mathematical talent of this race can be imagined.
Hego Damask II hired them and built a huge Space Dock on the back of one of the satellites. The Space Dock is surrounded by two Armed Space Stations, and 200 Wraith Fighters are stationed on the Space Station next to the closely guarded Space Dock.
The Ragnalov-class Titan Battleship can be said to be the crystallization of the most advanced technology of the Trader Emergency Coalition in "Sins of a Solar Empire", and their technology is still somewhat different from the technology in the current "Star Wars" world, so Hego established 10 scientific research teams to analyze the technology of the Ragnalov-class Titan Battleship.
After completing the technical analysis and starting construction, their technical achievements were also retained.
After Hego's death was confirmed and Tang Xiao secretly inherited the Damask Holding Group as the Supreme Director, he asked Semid Tang to start integrating the group's assets, and the project of the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship became the top priority heavy.
Tang Xiao sent Professor Chi Jianjun to lead his scientific research team to set off immediately to Planet Yag'Dhul and began to connect with the Givin people's scientific research team.
You must know that the data in the Mothership database is data, not the technology tree, so you have to click down one by one. There are indeed differences in the difficulty of these data. Generally speaking, the analysis starts with the easier technologies first and then starts to analyze the more difficult technologies after gaining experience and accumulation.
Now, after spending a lot of manpower, material resources and resources, the technical team of the Givin people has analyzed and completed the technology of the Ragnalov-class Titan Battleship. In this way, it can be understood by analogy. In fact, other technologies of the Trader Emergency Coalition are also included in it, and the rest is to take the information here to confirm it.
So when Professor Chi Jianjun and the others passed by with a thick stack of spaceship materials, the jaws of those Givin scientists almost dropped from shock!
Of course, if Hego was still alive, he would have been so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!
Tang Xiao has a complete system in his hand, isn't it the information of a single Titan Battleship? What did I spend so much manpower, material and financial resources for? If he analyzes them one by one step by step, the difficulty of analysis will be reduced by at least half. With such a huge investment, he can save at least half a year and the cost of at least 1 Billion Credits!!
The next step is peach-picking time. After successfully receiving the research results of the Givin people on the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship, by comparison, it is found that the analysis of the technology of the Trader Emergency Coalition has been completed by 70%! Most of the rest are just the exclusive technology of some spaceships. This made the technology of the Fourth Civilization leap forward to a new level.
This actually proved Tang Xiao's foresight to prohibit the development of large warships. Isn't there someone helping with the research? Here comes the benefit of concentrating on infrastructure development.

31BBY, Feb.
Count Dooku secretly visited Planet Dawn, and after having a private conversation with Tang Xiao, the Governor of Planet Dawn, for about an hour, he happily walked out of the office. The first flight ceremony of the Battleship.
These two new types of warships are the Percheron-class Light Carrier and the Garda-class Flak Frigate, classed as a Destroyer. These are not the results obtained from Ji Wenren, but a research project started by Professor Chi Jianjun half a year ago.
Among them, the Garda-class Flak Destroyer is 100 meters long, 30 meters wide at its widest point, 45 meters high, and has a maximum crew of 300 people. It is a ship-type warship. This Destroyer does not have any large firepower. Instead, it has eight Twin-Mounted Near-Fire Guns. With a powerful Fire Control System and Target Locking System, this Light Air Defense Destroyer will become a nightmare for Fighters.
The Garda-class Flak Destroyer was originally designed with 4 Electromagnetic Cannons, but Professor Chi Jianjun made further modifications. After replacing the Electromagnetic Cannons with Ultraviolet Laser Cannons, the space saved was installed with more Close-In Defense Turrets.
The Percheron-class Light Carrier is positioned as a Light Escort Carrier. This Carrier is 210 meters long, 90 meters wide, and has a crew of 450 people. It is flat in shape. A total of 48 Wraith Fighters can be carried in two squadrons, and this number can be increased to 180 if the Vulture Droid Fighters are carried.
The emergence of these two new types of warships is very important because, before that, the Fourth Civilization had a total of two fleets. The main fleet, A Fleet commanded by Matt Horner and S Fleet to solve some minor problems.
But now, after accepting the assets of the Damask Holding Group, in order to maintain as many as 120 mining areas and resource areas, and more trade routes, it is necessary to form a large number of escort fleets.
At this time, the Percheron-class Light Carrier and the Garda-class Flak Destroyer are just right.
A Percheron-class Light Carrier as the core, combined with 4 Garda-class Flak Destroyers, 4 Cobalt-class Light Frigates, and 4 Pulsar-class Light Frigates can support the escort mission of a Sector.
You must know that the Garda-class Flak Destroyer is not only a huge threat to Fighters but also a very huge threat to the Small Spaceships or Small Freighters that pirates often equip!
Tang Xiao plans to build 10 Escort Fleets in the first batch, and more will be built in the future. In order to save manpower, except for the Command Team on the Percheron-class Light Carrier, all other crew members are completed by B-1 Battle Droids, and the Carrier only uses Vulture Droid Fighters instead of Wraith Fighters that need to be piloted.
