Chapter 495: The Growth of Civilization (3)

Compared with the Army, the situation of the Navy of the Fourth Civilization is much better. At present, the total number of the Navy is 6 million, and it has three Main Fleets and more than 30 Escort Fleets.

The size of the Escort Fleet is very small, each of which is centered on a Percheron-class Light Carrier, with about 10 obsolete Frigates. The configuration of these Frigates is different, and the most important thing is to use waste. The Gunship-class Light Frigates and Pulsar-class Light Frigates used by the Fourth Civilization Navy in the past were all handed over to the Escort Fleet.

Moreover, as the war approached, the production capacity of the Fourth Civilization began to tighten. The Carrier Aircraft on these Percheron-class Light Carriers did not use Wraith Fighters anymore. All the Wraith Fighters were dispatched back to the Main Fleet, so the Percheron-class Light Carrier Aircraft on the Escort Carriers used Vulture Droid Fighters.

More than 30 Escort Fleets are planned to be further expanded to 50, mainly to protect the safety of the waterways between the Fourth Civilization and those Peripheral Resource Production Areas and Industrial Areas.

Now the main Peripheral Industrial Areas of the Fourth Civilization include five places:

1. The Sy Myrth Planet Industrial Zone, which was jointly built by Tang Xiao and the Sy Myrthians after he established the Hiigara Aerospace Group, is also the first peripheral Industrial Zone of the Fourth Civilization. At first, it was mainly used to build Small and Medium Warships such as Assault-class Light Destroyers and Revelation-class Light Cruisers. Later, with the establishment of the Freemasonry Alliance, this industrial area also began to expand, mainly used to build Kol-class Battlecruisers.

The scale of this Industrial Zone is average, and only 20 Kol-class Battlecruisers or 150 other Small Warships can be built at the same time.

Although this Planet is located in the Inner Rim, its political orientation is very close to Separatism. The construction of this Super-Large Industrial Base has accelerated this process. A year ago, Count Dooku and San Hill launched a coup on this planet, supporting a powerful Minister named Sanjay Rash and overthrowing King Ramsis Dendup.

After that, Mina Bonteri, a Senator of the Onderon, began to be consistent with Francis Underwood, and publicly opposed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's "Military Creation Act" in the previous Senate, voted and walked out angrily.

After openly supporting Separatism, Planet Onderon has also accelerated the construction of a Huge Industrial Base on Dxun, which has brought millions of jobs to the planet and more than 1 Billion Credits per year. Taxes have greatly eased the economic situation of Onderon, making the position of the usurper Sanjay Rash more stable.

Onderon will also become one of the Peripheral Industrial Areas of the Fourth Civilization, and is currently researching the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser. In addition, Terran Heavy Industries has also transferred some Industrial Businesses here to build a large number of Military Equipment such as Wraith Fighters, Siege Tanks, and Valkyrie-class Light Missile Frigates.

5. The Ovise III Planet Industrial Base. This is the Industrial Planet of the Ayrou Civilization. In the previous War with the Ayrou. The Ayrou Civilization was defeated and forced to sign an unequal treaty with Dawn, and had to pay huge war reparations, but because the treasury of the Ayrou Civilization was cheated by the mercenaries secretly sent by Darth Sidious, the Ayrou who had no money had to use the production capacity of Ovise III as a mortgage.

So Dawn took over the Industrial Base and worked with the Trade Federation to transform and upgrade the Industrial Base. Although the Ovise III Planetary Industrial Base is large in scale, its technical content is very low. At present, it can only be used to produce some Light Weapons, Ammunition and some Backward Light Frigates.

In addition to these Five Peripheral Industrial Areas, the largest production capacity of the Fourth Civilization comes from the Star Ring around Dawn. With the support of the almost inexhaustible mineral resources from Alprezar, the Star Ring of the Dawn was built almost day and night, bringing a Huge Fleet of 200 Battleships to the Fourth Civilization!
