The formation of the 20 Acclamator-class Assault Ships changed immediately. The Flagship Implacable was in the middle, the other 7 Acclamators launched an assault, and the remaining 12 Implacables full of Clone Troopers were in the rear for fire support.
The Acclamator-class Assault Ship is not just a Landing Ship, they are also very powerful Warships.
The Heavy-Duty Quad Turbolaser Turrets installed on the side of the Acclamator-class Assault Ships began to turn, aimed at the 10 Munificent-class Frigates that had also deployed in front, and fired directly!
Brilliant and thick explosive Laser Beams were launched instantly, lighting up the dark universe.
"Retaliate immediately! Don't let the Republic's Fleet get close to our Transport Ships!" On the bridge of a Lucrehulk-class Battleship that is the Flagship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, General Grievous roared and gave instructions.
Fleet Commander Trabo was in a cold sweat. He carefully deployed his 10 Munificent-class Frigates, trying to block the Republic's Acclamator-class Assault Ships, dragging the battle into a Long-Range Artillery Battle.
But the Commander of the Republic, Meebur Gascon, did not give him this opportunity at all. The seven Acclamators rushed forward, turned on the Engine Thrust to the maximum, and concentrated the energy of the Shield in front, and the huge body of the Acclamators began to move forward. Accelerate, and hit the formation of the Separatist Fleet of the CIS!
At this moment, the white light of the Hyperspace Jump appeared again on the edge of Geonosis, and then 6 Marauder-class Cruisers broke away from the jump and appeared here. This kind of Cruiser is 195 meters long, although it is not big, it is flexible and powerful.
At the same time, a communication was connected to the bridge of the Implacable, and a Ferolin with an octopus-like head appeared on the screen, "We are the Lok Revenants, and we are here to hunt down the Sabaoth Squadron. Do you need any help?"
Meebur Gascon's hand quickly slid across the console, and countless data came into view, "The Lok Revenants, the Pirate Organization, and the leader Nym, have been robbing the fleet of the Trade Federation in recent years. Given your past, you are allowed to join the fight. Please take cover on the flanks so our Fleet can break through the defenses of Geonosis."
"I just want to cause some trouble for the Trade Federation, and wipe out the Sabaoth Squadron!" Nym said.
"Then you've picked a good time. The Sabaoth Squadron is fighting the Jedi in the atmosphere of Geonosis," Meebur Gascon said.
"That's it!" Nym finished and began to direct the six Marauder-class Cruisers on his side to attack from the flanks.
The Fleets of the two sides kept approaching, and then Meebur Gascon gave an order, and all the Acclamator-class Assault Ships opened their Hangars, and a large number of V-19 Torrent Fighters took off, rushing over like locusts!
Seeing that the Republic took off Fighters, Nym's Lok Revenants also took off dozens of Scurrg H-6 Bombers. This is an excellent Fighter/Bomber designed and manufactured by Nubia Star Drives.
But at this time, the Warships on the Confederate side lost more than half of their Fighters due to the previous rush of Jedi Knights, and many Fighters entered the atmosphere to support the battle there. Faced with the Republic Fleet taking off more than 400 V-19 Torrent Fighters with excellent performance, they were completely caught off guard!
Under the command of Meebur Gascon, the Republic Fleet rushed directly into the formation of the Confederate Fleet at the fastest speed. Meebur Gascon, who graduated from the Republic Naval Academy, made full use of the Acclamator as a Landing Ship. The characteristic of strong firepower rushed into the formation of the Confederate Fleet, turning the battle into a chaotic battle.
The Commander of the Confederate Fleet, Trabo, did not expect the action of the Acclamator-class Assault Ship at all. Instead, he was thrown into disarray by the impact of the Republic V-19 Torrent Fighters taken to its own pace by the Fleet of the Republic.
Taking advantage of the entanglement of the eight Acclamators ahead and the Confederate Fleet, the battle situation was clearly projected into the Command Center.
The Fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was completely unable to withstand the offensive of the Republic Fleet, and Mabel Garson's tactics made Trabo at a loss.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems is mainly the Outer Rim of the Galaxy. There are basically no Naval Academies in the Systems within this range. Except for the self-taught genius like Trench, most of the Commanders of the Confederacy are self-taught. Apart from yelling and rushing to me, there is no adaptability to the battle situation at all.
Unfortunately, Trabo is that kind of person. He was originally the Commander of the Collection Fleet of the Trade Federation, and usually bullied those planets that had no industry and no Army. Really let him compare with Meebur Gascon, an Officer who graduated from a formal Naval Academy of the Republic, and judge him.
Although the Galactic Republic has basically abandoned Military Force since the Russan reform, the Military Officer training system that has been passed down for thousands of years immediately showed a gap in such details. Even if Meebur Gascon, the Tactical Advisor of the Republic, was an Officer who followed the scriptures, he was still not comparable to a Collector like Trabo.
What's more, there is Master Yoda personally sitting in the Fleet.
If you open the distance and bombard, the firepower of the Acclamator-class Assault Ship is still far behind that of the Munificent-class, but when the two sides fight in a melee, the disadvantages of the Munificent-class Frigate with the Capital Guns concentrated on the front are obvious.
General Grievous also lost sight of the other, because at this time the Lucrehulk-class Battleships he could directly command were completely immobilized and loading the Droid Army while the 20 Acclamator-class Assault Ships made a desperate raid.
This made Grievous, who had experienced many battles, feel a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time, and the feeling of being powerless made him almost go crazy.
"Trabo! Take care of your Fleet, keep your distance! Keep your distance!!" General Grievous yelled in the communication. After finding out that Trabo's Fleet was not working, he began to mobilize fleets from other directions to move forward to support.
He never expected that the Republic Fleet would be so difficult, nor did he expect that the famous General and that genius launched by those Corporate Giants would be so trash.
Meebur Gascon saw that the Confederate Fleet was fighting on its own, completely out of formation, and ordered decisively: "Break through the formation of the Separatists and land on Geonosis!"
The 12 Acclamator-class Assault Ships loaded with Clone Troopers immediately began to press on, and the stronger firepower made Trabo's Fleet completely lose sight of one another.
At the same time, Tang Xiao, who was watching Obi-Wan's public execution in the arena, looked at the communicator, and sent a message:
Attack!
