Double Helix of Dajian Doujin
Chapter 35 Super Dimensional Storm 2
Great simplification of installation and maintenance work.
Originally, according to the military's standards, it is enough for a new fighter to fly at a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 and a cruise speed exceeding Mach 1.1.But with such a very creative shape.Wind Rider's regular cruising speed can reach Mach 6.
Finally, there is the problem of the engine and electronic system.
These two problems are better solved than the previous ones.The Minmatar Group reserved a large number of patents for small high-thrust ratio engines, and quickly found an engine suitable for the Wind Rider.The patent for distributed propulsion was introduced from the Gallente Design Bureau, and the problem of vector propulsion was easily solved.
The electronic system is also almost ready-made, whether it is drone control or fire control system, it can be used later.The only thing that's a little more tricky is the stealthy action device.No aircraft equipped with a stealth system of a covert mobile device has ever achieved such a high speed in routine flight in the atmosphere.So the Clerelle Laboratory specially modified it to adapt to the high speed of Mach 6.
So far, all the problems of the new aircraft have been overcome, as long as they are assembled and debugged, it seems that the mission can be completed.
However, in order to ensure the final satisfaction of the military, the United Group still invited the Gallente Design Bureau to tailor a high-speed drone for the Wind Rider, which later became the "Dark Sword" drone.This is the final delivery of the project to the military.
Design Features
Weapon system:
The point-to-point attack weapon is mainly the "Aurora" particle cannon deployed on the surface of the body.The United Group officially admitted that the source of the word "Aurora" is the "Aurora of Aurora" of the Gallente Design Bureau.
Through the magic array deployed on the surface of the body, the "Aurora" particle cannon can fire rapidly in any direction.Its principle is exactly the same as the doomsday weapon on the Orobas-class Titan battleship, but its power is much smaller.Its maximum power can't even penetrate the shields of battleships, but as an anti-individual weapon or to deal with some relatively fragile buildings, it is already very powerful.
The biggest advantage is that its aiming is completely unaffected by the attitude of the fighter at that time, as long as it is within the range, it can fire. The effective range of 20 kilometers is enough to ensure that fighters can shoot at a safe distance.
The launch pylons for missiles and bombs are hidden in the magazine compartment on the belly of the fighter.The pylon is a rotating pylon, which can not only adapt to the size of standard light missiles, but also can adapt to the size of unpowered bombs.When the bomb is dropped, the hatch under the fuselage is opened, and the rotating pylon rotates the bomb to be thrown to the bottom, and the ammunition is thrown.
However, this method is generally not used, because fighter jets are equipped with a hyperspace bomb delivery system, and bombs and missiles are transported by hyperspace to the outside of the fighter jet for dropping.Therefore, even if the fighter jet flies at the maximum speed of Mach 6, it can still launch the missile smoothly.The traditional bombing method can only adapt to the speed of Mach 2, and the reason why it is retained is to ensure that the bombing can still be carried out when the hyperspace transmission system is interfered by a force such as the domain.
power system:
Both the "Blue Light" ion thrusters and the "Vector" distributed thrusters are very mature old products.The operation is stable and reliable, and the maintenance is also very convenient.The biggest innovation lies in the "dolphin" air transport device.
This kind of magic array deployed on the surface of the airframe can create a small area, accelerate or hinder the airflow passing near the surface of the airframe, and create a difference in air pressure between the upper and lower sides of the fighter, so that the fighter still has a strong lift at various speeds.The minimum cruising speed of the windrider can reach 50 kilometers per hour, which is even lower than the speed of some birds.This allows the Wind Rider to circle in a small radius very calmly, and use particle cannons to support ground operations.
When flying at high speed, the transport device can accelerate the gas flow on the surface of the body and reduce the heat generated by air friction, so the wind rider can fly to the high speed of Mach 6.
electronic system
In order to facilitate maintenance, most of the electronic systems of the Wind Rider are simplified versions of the electronic systems of high-speed frigates, and most of the software and hardware systems can be used in common.The biggest difference comes from the stealth action system.
Since the Wind Rider needs to fly at a high speed of Mach 6 in the atmosphere, the processor of the covert operation system must be optimized and improved to adapt to the light interference caused by the high-speed airflow.The specific changes are top secret, but according to an engineer from the Gallente Design Bureau who did not want to be named, they solved this problem in a very simple way.But so far, I have not heard of this technology being applied to other aircraft.It is generally speculated that this technology is likely to be only applicable to high-speed flights in the atmosphere.
Drone:
In order to adapt to the high speed of the Windrider fighter jet, the Minmatar military-industrial complex collectively designed a new type of high-speed stealth drone for it as an assistant to the fighter jet.This is the "Dark Sword" UAV.
As a drone with high cruising speed, the Dark Sword has an extremely good aerodynamic shape.Flat fuselage, small triangular front wing, large swept main wing, empennage integrated with the main wing, and V-shaped vertical tail.At the same time, airflow transport devices are also arranged on the surface of the body, so the Dark Sword can completely follow the Wind Rider in the normal cruising state.
As a multi-purpose drone, the Dark Sword's main function is to assist the Wind Rider in his attacks.Most of the equipment on the Windrider, such as the "Aurora" particle cannon, is also equipped on the Darksaber.In most cases, in the "Wind Wall" fleet composed of Wind Riders and Dark Sword drones, most of the attacks are done by Dark Sword drones.
Body decoration inscription:
(Decorative inscriptions are some decorative words engraved on weapons, which have no practical meaning, but many weapon and battleship manufacturers like to engrave something on weapons, the content is There are all kinds of things, but most of them are rational propaganda. Most of the inscriptions are in elven language, and there are also other languages, such as the cursive script of the Eminor continent.)
"By the Great Winds, Icome!"
— meaning "I come with the wind!"

R & D history
Technically speaking, the ghost drone is not a high-tech weapon.Most of the technologies are very mature.However, this is in line with the requirements of the army, the technology is mature, the performance is reliable, and the maintenance is convenient. The army needs such weapons.However, when designing it, the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau took a lot of trouble.
Originally, with the light drones, the army thought that everything would be fine, as long as the air supremacy was not lost, they could sit back and relax on the ground.The infantry unit only needs to inform the enemy's position, and the missile of the light drone can solve the problem comprehensively.
But the fact is that light UAVs only have 8 missiles conventionally loaded, and their weapons are only a 35mm hybrid cannon and a 20mm Gatling laser cannon. Stop the swarming sea of infantry from the Burning Legion.Perhaps it can still play a huge role when the ground forces are not exposed and there is no hyperspace interference, but once the enemy has a clear position of our personnel, activate hyperspace interference and launch a group charge, light drones It is difficult to suppress with firepower.Although there are sentry guns and spacecraft in space that can be used, once the weather or terrain conditions are not suitable, the ground troops will be in a state of isolation and helplessness.
Therefore, a large unmanned aerial vehicle loaded with powerful and heavy firepower is needed, which can provide continuous fire support to the ground.
Originally, with the technology of the night elves, building such a plane could be said to be a piece of cake.However, according to the rules of the night elves' military projects, all weapon research and development must be tendered.Whoever has low price, good performance, and simple maintenance is more likely to win the bid.So the more seemingly simple projects, the more intense the competition.
In order to reduce the price, the Gallente Design Bureau finally developed a multi-purpose drone that combines transportation and fire support based on its own shuttle.
The Gallente shuttle adopts a "middle" layout, that is, a vertical frame is the fuselage, and there are two small wings on both sides of the box.Such a body itself is a statically indeterminate structure, and the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau boldly changed the part of the body in the middle of the box into a detachable cabin.When it needs to be transported, it can be replaced with a general cargo warehouse or a manned cabin.When ground support is needed, it can be replaced with a weapon bay.This will undoubtedly have a lot of uses, and the price is very cheap.Existing shuttle machines only need to be slightly modified.
Since it is a ground support UAV, the weapon compartment for ground support is naturally the focus of the design.The Gallente Design Bureau spent a lot of thought on this.
The first is the overall structure of the weapon compartment.
At that time, although the doomsday weapon had already appeared, it was just in the stage of deployment.No one had thought of miniaturizing such a powerful weapon.Therefore, the "Ghost" UAV still adopts a turret-style weapon layout.
For the Gatling laser launcher and the 40mm hybrid gun, the turret layout can still meet the requirements, because they are not large by themselves.But for the 155mm caliber hybrid gun, the traditional turret can't do it.
Therefore, the engineers ingeniously placed the 155mm main gun in the weapon bay. The main gun can only rotate within the plane of the fuselage axis relative to the weapon bay.In layman's terms, the artillery can only adjust the pitch angle if the weapon bay is fixed.However, the range is still very large, almost reaching 2X±80°, that is, the turret can protrude from both the belly and the back of the fuselage.
The rotation around the axis of the fuselage is accomplished by the weapon bay.The weapon bay itself is a rotatable drum, although the rotation angle is only ±80 degrees.However, with the pitch angle of the turret, it is actually enough to control most of the space above and below the fuselage.
When shooting, the weapon compartment cover is opened, the main gun increases the pitch angle, protrudes out of the compartment, and the weapon compartment rotates accordingly, aims at the target, and then shoots.Since the main gun can also shoot upwards, there is also a hatch on the back of the weapon compartment.
The biggest advantage of this layout is that the aircraft can enter the shooting state of flying around the target area without maintaining the so-called "lighthouse hovering" flight attitude.At the same time, the UAV can also launch artillery shells upwards for long-distance grenade rail shooting, which greatly improves the distance of UAV control.
As for the turrets of the other two weapons, they can be arranged on the rotating weapon bay.Since these turrets are all telescopic, when not in use, the weapons are all stored in the body, so the flight resistance can be greatly reduced during normal cruise.
Then there are the shells used.
Originally, this matter was very simple, because the shells used by the hybrid cannon were either microscopic particles or simple solid shells.The so-called solid shell is a simple piece of metal of a specific shape, usually iron.Due to the high muzzle velocity of electromagnetic orbital weapons, even such a one or two kilograms of iron, at a speed of about ten times the speed of sound, its destructive power is enough.
But on this ground support UAV, things are not that simple.Whether it is a particle beam or a solid shell, they are all directed energy weapons, and they are all weapons for killing single-point targets.Although later, in order to solve this problem, the night elves developed an energy projectile launch mode, that is, to launch a mass of high-energy plasma with an electromagnetic orbital force field.However, such shells still have limited killing effects, and are more suitable for fast small-caliber artillery such as 40mm caliber automatic guns.When it comes to the caliber of the 155mm artillery, using this mode is too powerful.
Therefore, the Gallente Design Bureau found the Minmatar military-industrial complex that also participated in the bidding, and hoped that the two groups could cooperate to jointly win this project.Although the United Group also participated in the competition, they knew very well that their design would be difficult to compete with such large design bureaus as Gallente and Emma, so they expressed early on that they could use it in the shells and missile warheads. QUESTIONS Help with any project, as long as the price is right.Therefore, the Gallente Design Bureau entrusted the United Group to develop surface-kill shells suitable for the "Ghost" UAV.The ammunition that was later named the "Excalibur" series of guided shells was the result of this cooperation.
The term "Excalibur" is taken from the sword in the stone of King Arthur, the ancient hero of the Eminor Continent in the Creation God Realm, and is the name of a series of shells. The "Excalibur" series shells are divided into three categories: ABC. Type A is unpowered gliding shells, Type B is ramjet extended-range shells, and Type C is ion engine extended-range shells.
Generally, Class A is the cheapest, easiest, and has the most warhead space. Type B can only be used on planets with oxygen, but the flight speed is fast and the range is long. Type C is for use on planets without oxygen, but the cost is relatively high.
In fact, the initial velocity of electromagnetic orbital weapons is generally very high, but the "Excalibur" series shells are completely different. Because such shells need warheads, guidance systems, etc. inside, their weight far exceeds that of solid shells. ——The shells of the "Excalibur" series generally weigh about 50 kilograms, while those solid shells generally weigh about 1 kilogram.If the "Excalibur" shells are fired at an initial velocity of more than ten times the speed of sound, the recoil force will be astonishingly large.At least the aircraft should not use weapons with such a large recoil.
Therefore, in order to shorten the reaction time of the enemy, the shells can only be fired at a low initial velocity, and then accelerated to a high velocity by the propeller.Ion thrusters are commonly used thrusters on night elf spaceships, but when placed on cannonballs, the price is a bit inappropriate.However, for general use, the joint group has no choice.Although the ramjet is good, it can only be used in an atmosphere with oxygen. Only in this way can the fuel be burned.In fact, the fuel of a ramjet engine can be mixed with an oxygen generator, but that is not much different from a rocket engine.The reason why the ramjet is light is that it does not use oxygen generator.
Finally, there is the issue of stealth systems.
The main reason is that all stealth operations systems require a better shipboard CPU, which is definitely not available on a civilian shuttle.Therefore, not only the Clerelle Laboratory needs to optimize and improve the existing system, but the spacecraft design department also needs to upgrade the CPU processing of the shuttle.
However, fortunately, the Gallente Design Bureau has always emphasized the comfort of the interior space of the spaceship, and there is a lot of room for upgrades inside the spaceship.Therefore, it is not difficult to solve the problem of the main gun and shells in this job.
In this way, this unmanned aerial gunboat won the army's bidding and was soon put into use by the army.In addition to some improvements to the shells, this kind of drone that rains bullets has always been well received.
Detailed performance:
Weapon system:
A 25mm Gatling pulse laser with a rate of fire of 8000 rounds per minute is deployed on the left side of the main gun hatch.Mainly responsible for precise attack on a single target.Laser beams of different frequencies can be emitted by replacing different laser emitting crystals.However, the most commonly used is the gamma band, which is also the band with the best concealment.
A 40mm hybrid gun with a rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute is deployed on the right side of the main gun hatch and is mainly responsible for launching high-energy plasma clusters to deal with small cluster targets.Plasma energy rounds are very cheap, and due to their high muzzle velocity, they are very accurate.Many times, even if the target is a single target, operators like to use this weapon with explosive effects.In small-scale operations, the 40mm hybrid gun is the most commonly used weapon.
A 155mm hybrid gun with a rate of fire of 10-15 rounds per minute.Most of the volume of the artillery is deployed in the rotating weapon bay.The pointing axis of the nose of the fuselage is in the pitch plane, and the artillery itself is connected with the weapon bay through a hinge.Around the axis of the fuselage, the so-called left and right rotation is realized by the rotation of the entire weapon bay.Due to the use of electromagnetic propulsion, the force is relatively uniform during the launch of the shell, and the recoil force is relatively small, which has very little impact on the aircraft.
When firing heavy shells, the muzzle velocity of the main gun is low, only about Mach 6, that is, 1.8-2.1 kilometers per second.This muzzle velocity is not much faster than a cannon propelled by explosives, but in an atmosphere with oxygen, this velocity is enough to make the scramjet ignite and work.Driven by the ramjet engine, the speed of the projectile will exceed 6.8 kilometers per second, which is more than Mach 20.This speed is almost the working limit of the detached ramjet engine.
If there is no oxygen in the atmosphere of the combat area, shells with ion thrusters are used.The launch speed and top speed are about the same.
In addition to shooting downwards, the main gun can also fire shells upwards for grenade rail attacks.For shells with a range-extending system, the range can reach 200 kilometers under standard gravity.This is a howitzer mounted at an altitude of [-] meters.
power system:
Conventional powered flight mainly relies on distributed ion thrusters on the airframe of the aircraft.Distributed ion thrusters can not only provide vectoring power, but also have the advantage of small plume characteristics.Putting it on a low-speed and low-agility aircraft is a bit overkill no matter how you look at it.However, for the sake of stealth, it can't be wrong to do so.
The hyperspace transition system is for the convenience of drones in space. After all, the night elves' air force bases are all kinds of spaceships.It's just that the "Ghost" UAV is relatively large, and only aircraft carriers and above-level warships can carry it, so the jump system is very necessary.
The "agile" hyperspace evasion system is a product of the Minmatar Military-Industrial Complex, which is specially designed for low-speed flying vehicles.The biggest feature of this hyperspace system is that it can instantly allow the subject to enter hyperspace for ultra-short-distance navigation.Generally, the sailing distance will not exceed 3 kilometers. The specific value depends on how much energy is invested, but in general, it will not exceed 10 kilometers at most.For dodging attacks, this range is enough.
electronic system:
Standard military quantum communication systems, covert operations systems, etc.
Defense system:
As an aircraft that needs to perform long-term cruise flights in areas where the enemy's air defense forces are relatively weak.The self-defense system is not the focus of the aircraft, but since there may still be sporadic long-range anti-aircraft fire on the ground, the shield system cannot be ignored.
The Impulse Shield Generator isn't the best shield system the night elves have, but it's still pretty good when it comes to balance.Most importantly, the pulse shield generator can generate omnidirectional energy pulse waves very easily.This is very effective when breaking through the shackles of domain power.At the same time it is very power-saving.Therefore, it is very suitable to be placed on this drone.
For those attacks that are too powerful, the main defense method of the "Ghost" UAV still relies on the stealth + dodge mode.
Use ammo:
Standard small series of laser crystals, 40mm series of mixed artillery shells (including subatomic, solid shells and local atmospheric gases), 155mm mixed artillery shells, 155mm electromagnetic propelled grenades.
Brief introduction of "Excalibur" series shells:
The term "Excalibur" is taken from the sword in the stone of King Arthur, the ancient hero of the Eminor Continent in the Creation God Realm, and is the name of a series of shells. The "Excalibur" series shells are divided into three categories: ABC. Type A is unpowered gliding shells, Type B is ramjet extended-range shells, and Type C is ion engine extended-range shells.
Generally, Class A is the cheapest, easiest, and has the most warhead space. Type B can only be used on planets with oxygen, but the flight speed is fast and the range is long. Type C is for use on planets without oxygen, but the cost is relatively high.
Under standard conditions, the maximum flight speed is Mach 22.At an altitude of 200 meters, the maximum range of the grenade trajectory is 50 kilometers, and the effective range of the straight trajectory is [-] kilometers.
The warhead can be equipped with 35-40 kg-level charges such as multi-fuze explosive charge, barrage-dispersed submunition, hydrogen bomb, and thermobaric bomb.
Introduction to Weapons - Orobas-class Titan Battleship
Orobas class
Encyclopedia business card
The aircraft carrier-type Titan-class battleship developed and manufactured by the Gallente Design Bureau carries the doomsday weapon "Aurora of Aurora".
Basic Information
The "Orobas"-class Titan is the largest fleet flagship of the night elves so far, and it is also the largest cavalry carrier-based aircraft and battleship delivery platform.Its main function is to lead the fleet to jump into hyperspace and rush to the battlefield quickly.Although the "Eropas" class is also equipped with doomsday weapons, but on this battleship, doomsday weapons are only a means of self-defense.The main combat method of the Orobas class is still to command the fleet and cavalry carrier-based aircraft to attack.
At the same time, the Orobas class is also a very luxurious space fortress. Gallente-style simple, clean, comfortable and generous designs can be seen everywhere inside the spaceship, which is well received by the officers and soldiers.
The word "Eropas" comes from the god of darkness in the ancient Greek mythology of the Eminor continent.

development path
Speaking of carrier-based aircraft delivery platforms, it can be traced back to the era when the night elves had just entered space.At that time, the carrier-based aircraft carrier platform could only carry a few aircraft.But soon, this type of carrier spacecraft became bigger and bigger.Before the birth of the Orobas class, the Night God class heavy aircraft carrier had always been the core existence of the night elf fleet.However, the Yagami-class heavy aircraft carrier also has unsatisfactory places.
First of all, although the Yagami-class aircraft carrier is huge, and the cavalry carrier-based aircraft is comparable in size to the cruiser, but because the hangar is specially designed for the cavalry carrier-based aircraft, it cannot dock warships of the cruiser level and above.When fighting in long-distance deep space voyages, the logistical support of the troops is extremely worrying.
Secondly, when the Yagami-class aircraft carrier sends troops, it can only open the wormhole in place first, let other troops go there first, and then fly to the target area through the jump engine.Such batching makes the fleet's forward troops extremely vulnerable to devastating blows.
Finally, although the Yagami-class aircraft carrier carries a large number of cavalry carrier-based aircraft, it lacks fast and effective means of self-defense.Once facing the dominant enemy fleet, it is likely to fall into a helpless situation.
At this time, the Envoy-class Titan, the night elf's most powerful weapon, is already in service. Based on this idea, the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau are also preparing to develop a Titan-class warship.In order to avoid overlapping with the role of the Envoy class, the Gallente Design Bureau chose its best carrier-based aircraft carrier platform as the main function of the new Titan battleship.Although they also developed the Aurora Instrument, which can emit antimatter particle beams, as the new Titan's doomsday weapon, the core is still the carrier platform and space fortress.
Building a Titan-class battleship is not just a matter of enlarging the size of the original type of warship. The larger internal space does not mean that designers can waste it at will, because users expect more functions.
The first thing to balance is the contradiction between the doomsday weapon and the internal space occupied by other functions.
For the envoy class, this kind of contradiction does not exist at all.The God Envoy class is a warship that uses doomsday weapons as its main combat method, so it is reasonable for doomsday weapons to occupy more space.But for the Orobas class, the hangar, living area, command system, dock area, jump channel generator, etc., without exception, are huge and extremely important things.For this reason, the Gallente Design Bureau gave up the idea of introducing Judgment Day from the Emma Design Bureau, and concentrated on developing a doomsday weapon exclusively for the Orobas class.This is how the Aurora Instrument was born.Although the delivery speed and distance of this doomsday weapon are not as good as the Judgment Day, it is powerful and small, and it is more than enough for planetary bombing or ship self-defense.Very much in line with the needs of the Orobas class.
Secondly, the problem of docking large warships should be solved.At that time, the research on the gravitational effect based on the theory of quantum entanglement had achieved further results, and the traction device capable of generating bow-shaped gravitational waves had already come out.The Gallente Design Bureau imported a patent from the Caldari Design Bureau to install the bow-shaped gravitational wave generator on the surface of the hull.With this device, battleship-class ships can be easily guided into the hangar without worrying about possible collisions.As for the size of the hangar entrance, it is a very easy to solve.The bow-shaped gravitational wave device can also fix a large warship such as a heavy aircraft carrier in a fixed position relative to the Titan warship, which makes the maintenance of the aircraft carrier much easier.
Finally, there is the matter of the skip channel generator.Previously, the jump tunnel generator on the Yeshen-class aircraft carrier was a type of wormhole generator.It is to transfer troops by creating a wormhole that communicates with the induction force field.What the Orobas class has to do is to lead the entire fleet into a hyperspace state in an instant and jump to the target location.After some hard work, this problem has also been solved.
With these key issues resolved, the Gallente Design Bureau engineers did not rush the rest of the work.In fact, although the command system, living quarters and other facilities do not directly reflect their power like doomsday weapons, they are also related to the combat effectiveness of the entire army.In these places, the engineers tried their best to create a comfortable and convenient living and working environment for the officers and soldiers, so as to guarantee the morale to the greatest extent.
When this battleship named after the mythical God of Darkness entered service, the entire army received rave reviews.
Deployment significance
The Orobas class is the largest regular fleet flagship in the history of the night elves. It exists not only as a larger aircraft carrier, but also as a space fortress that can provide various dock maintenance and comfortable personnel.More importantly, the Orobas class can make the entire fleet appear on the battlefield instantly.And after reaching the battlefield, the doomsday weapon can shoot immediately.This is very important for the suddenness of fleet actions.However, the Orobas still suffers from the force field problem, and until the most recent Orobas entered service, the night elves had not solved the problem of jumping without the force field.
With the Orobas class, the night elves can be said to be truly confident that their troops can gain a firm foothold in deep space.
General performance and equipment
General Arrangement and Structure
All warships designed by the Gallente Design Bureau pay attention to a simple and sleek appearance, whether it is a small warship or a titan, they all have this style, and the Orobas class is no exception.Compared with the large enoki mushroom shape full of edges and corners of the Angel class, the Orobas class can be said to be very beautiful and very sci-fi.
Like the Envoy class, the Orobas class also adopts a highly modular layout to facilitate subsequent upgrades.But compared with the modularity of the Angel class, the modularity of the Orobas class is more advanced.
Since the purpose of the construction of the Orobas class is to allow the troops to survive independently in the deep space environment without rear support.This is not just enough life support equipment, it also needs a whole set of production equipment.Only when it can produce, the equipment can guarantee its own operation.For this purpose, the Orobas class is equipped with a complete set of equipment from the extraction of known ores to the production and manufacture of large spaceships.In order to save space, these facilities are generally put away.
This is where the Orobas class is more advanced than the Envoy class in terms of modularity—not only is it easy to disassemble, but it can also carry various modules that meet the design requirements. When needed, activate the corresponding modules to complete the task , and usually, unused modules are placed in the most space-saving way.
powerplant
The main energy source of the Orobas class is the automatic energy recharging magic circle installed on most night elf spaceships and equipment.This kind of magic circle can simulate the meditation of a magician, automatically absorbing energy from the surrounding space, which greatly reduces the space for the spacecraft to carry fuel.The relatively big disadvantage of this method is that it requires a large surface area. The general method to overcome this disadvantage is to adopt a multi-layer nested arrangement of magic circle and hull armor, that is, "armor-magic circle-armor-magic circle " layout.The doomsday weapon also adopts a similar arrangement.
In order to ensure the explosive power of the ship in an emergency, the Gallente Design Bureau also installed a high-power antimatter reactor and a cesium clathrate chemical reactor.In order to improve the energy supply capability of the ship in an emergency.
The thrusters still use ion thrusters.Despite their large size and low conventional cruising speeds, the Irobas class takes only a short time to enter hyperspace.That's thanks to a new jump engine.However, this engine still cannot solve the problem of short non-induced jump distances.
Weapon system
Currently, the main weapon system of the entire ship is the "Aurora Instrument".Like the Day of Judgment, the Aurora System also has a multi-target tracking capability similar to phased array radar, and can attack a large number of small targets at the same time.But when it comes to ultimate destruction, the Aurora Instrument is far inferior.Although the speed of the high-speed antimatter particle beam is very fast, compared with the photon, its speed is still much slower, and the range is also very short.Therefore, although the instrument of aurora has the power of a doomsday weapon, its main function is still the self-defense of the ship.
electronic system
Due to its late-development advantage, the Eropas class not only carries more photon processors.In terms of procedure, it is also more advanced.For supercomputers, the speed is not the superposition of the processor's computing speed, but is greatly affected by the program.If the software system is well designed, even if the processor itself is relatively slow, it can also exert high performance.On the Orobas class, the computing system can be described as a powerful combination, with more and more advanced processors and a more optimized software system.
With the support of these basic equipment, the Orobas class is not only more delicate in controlling doomsday weapons and more perfect in stealth performance, but also more handy in fleet command and carrier-based aircraft mobilization.
Technical characteristics
The Orobas class represents the masterpiece of the night elf aircraft carrier fleet, and is the core ship of all legion forces.
strong attack
Equipped with a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and manned carrier-based aircraft.It can not only complete air combat missions between fleets, but also easily complete attacks on fixed facilities and planetary surfaces
Originally, according to the military's standards, it is enough for a new fighter to fly at a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 and a cruise speed exceeding Mach 1.1.But with such a very creative shape.Wind Rider's regular cruising speed can reach Mach 6.
Finally, there is the problem of the engine and electronic system.
These two problems are better solved than the previous ones.The Minmatar Group reserved a large number of patents for small high-thrust ratio engines, and quickly found an engine suitable for the Wind Rider.The patent for distributed propulsion was introduced from the Gallente Design Bureau, and the problem of vector propulsion was easily solved.
The electronic system is also almost ready-made, whether it is drone control or fire control system, it can be used later.The only thing that's a little more tricky is the stealthy action device.No aircraft equipped with a stealth system of a covert mobile device has ever achieved such a high speed in routine flight in the atmosphere.So the Clerelle Laboratory specially modified it to adapt to the high speed of Mach 6.
So far, all the problems of the new aircraft have been overcome, as long as they are assembled and debugged, it seems that the mission can be completed.
However, in order to ensure the final satisfaction of the military, the United Group still invited the Gallente Design Bureau to tailor a high-speed drone for the Wind Rider, which later became the "Dark Sword" drone.This is the final delivery of the project to the military.
Design Features
Weapon system:
The point-to-point attack weapon is mainly the "Aurora" particle cannon deployed on the surface of the body.The United Group officially admitted that the source of the word "Aurora" is the "Aurora of Aurora" of the Gallente Design Bureau.
Through the magic array deployed on the surface of the body, the "Aurora" particle cannon can fire rapidly in any direction.Its principle is exactly the same as the doomsday weapon on the Orobas-class Titan battleship, but its power is much smaller.Its maximum power can't even penetrate the shields of battleships, but as an anti-individual weapon or to deal with some relatively fragile buildings, it is already very powerful.
The biggest advantage is that its aiming is completely unaffected by the attitude of the fighter at that time, as long as it is within the range, it can fire. The effective range of 20 kilometers is enough to ensure that fighters can shoot at a safe distance.
The launch pylons for missiles and bombs are hidden in the magazine compartment on the belly of the fighter.The pylon is a rotating pylon, which can not only adapt to the size of standard light missiles, but also can adapt to the size of unpowered bombs.When the bomb is dropped, the hatch under the fuselage is opened, and the rotating pylon rotates the bomb to be thrown to the bottom, and the ammunition is thrown.
However, this method is generally not used, because fighter jets are equipped with a hyperspace bomb delivery system, and bombs and missiles are transported by hyperspace to the outside of the fighter jet for dropping.Therefore, even if the fighter jet flies at the maximum speed of Mach 6, it can still launch the missile smoothly.The traditional bombing method can only adapt to the speed of Mach 2, and the reason why it is retained is to ensure that the bombing can still be carried out when the hyperspace transmission system is interfered by a force such as the domain.
power system:
Both the "Blue Light" ion thrusters and the "Vector" distributed thrusters are very mature old products.The operation is stable and reliable, and the maintenance is also very convenient.The biggest innovation lies in the "dolphin" air transport device.
This kind of magic array deployed on the surface of the airframe can create a small area, accelerate or hinder the airflow passing near the surface of the airframe, and create a difference in air pressure between the upper and lower sides of the fighter, so that the fighter still has a strong lift at various speeds.The minimum cruising speed of the windrider can reach 50 kilometers per hour, which is even lower than the speed of some birds.This allows the Wind Rider to circle in a small radius very calmly, and use particle cannons to support ground operations.
When flying at high speed, the transport device can accelerate the gas flow on the surface of the body and reduce the heat generated by air friction, so the wind rider can fly to the high speed of Mach 6.
electronic system
In order to facilitate maintenance, most of the electronic systems of the Wind Rider are simplified versions of the electronic systems of high-speed frigates, and most of the software and hardware systems can be used in common.The biggest difference comes from the stealth action system.
Since the Wind Rider needs to fly at a high speed of Mach 6 in the atmosphere, the processor of the covert operation system must be optimized and improved to adapt to the light interference caused by the high-speed airflow.The specific changes are top secret, but according to an engineer from the Gallente Design Bureau who did not want to be named, they solved this problem in a very simple way.But so far, I have not heard of this technology being applied to other aircraft.It is generally speculated that this technology is likely to be only applicable to high-speed flights in the atmosphere.
Drone:
In order to adapt to the high speed of the Windrider fighter jet, the Minmatar military-industrial complex collectively designed a new type of high-speed stealth drone for it as an assistant to the fighter jet.This is the "Dark Sword" UAV.
As a drone with high cruising speed, the Dark Sword has an extremely good aerodynamic shape.Flat fuselage, small triangular front wing, large swept main wing, empennage integrated with the main wing, and V-shaped vertical tail.At the same time, airflow transport devices are also arranged on the surface of the body, so the Dark Sword can completely follow the Wind Rider in the normal cruising state.
As a multi-purpose drone, the Dark Sword's main function is to assist the Wind Rider in his attacks.Most of the equipment on the Windrider, such as the "Aurora" particle cannon, is also equipped on the Darksaber.In most cases, in the "Wind Wall" fleet composed of Wind Riders and Dark Sword drones, most of the attacks are done by Dark Sword drones.
Body decoration inscription:
(Decorative inscriptions are some decorative words engraved on weapons, which have no practical meaning, but many weapon and battleship manufacturers like to engrave something on weapons, the content is There are all kinds of things, but most of them are rational propaganda. Most of the inscriptions are in elven language, and there are also other languages, such as the cursive script of the Eminor continent.)
"By the Great Winds, Icome!"
— meaning "I come with the wind!"

R & D history
Technically speaking, the ghost drone is not a high-tech weapon.Most of the technologies are very mature.However, this is in line with the requirements of the army, the technology is mature, the performance is reliable, and the maintenance is convenient. The army needs such weapons.However, when designing it, the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau took a lot of trouble.
Originally, with the light drones, the army thought that everything would be fine, as long as the air supremacy was not lost, they could sit back and relax on the ground.The infantry unit only needs to inform the enemy's position, and the missile of the light drone can solve the problem comprehensively.
But the fact is that light UAVs only have 8 missiles conventionally loaded, and their weapons are only a 35mm hybrid cannon and a 20mm Gatling laser cannon. Stop the swarming sea of infantry from the Burning Legion.Perhaps it can still play a huge role when the ground forces are not exposed and there is no hyperspace interference, but once the enemy has a clear position of our personnel, activate hyperspace interference and launch a group charge, light drones It is difficult to suppress with firepower.Although there are sentry guns and spacecraft in space that can be used, once the weather or terrain conditions are not suitable, the ground troops will be in a state of isolation and helplessness.
Therefore, a large unmanned aerial vehicle loaded with powerful and heavy firepower is needed, which can provide continuous fire support to the ground.
Originally, with the technology of the night elves, building such a plane could be said to be a piece of cake.However, according to the rules of the night elves' military projects, all weapon research and development must be tendered.Whoever has low price, good performance, and simple maintenance is more likely to win the bid.So the more seemingly simple projects, the more intense the competition.
In order to reduce the price, the Gallente Design Bureau finally developed a multi-purpose drone that combines transportation and fire support based on its own shuttle.
The Gallente shuttle adopts a "middle" layout, that is, a vertical frame is the fuselage, and there are two small wings on both sides of the box.Such a body itself is a statically indeterminate structure, and the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau boldly changed the part of the body in the middle of the box into a detachable cabin.When it needs to be transported, it can be replaced with a general cargo warehouse or a manned cabin.When ground support is needed, it can be replaced with a weapon bay.This will undoubtedly have a lot of uses, and the price is very cheap.Existing shuttle machines only need to be slightly modified.
Since it is a ground support UAV, the weapon compartment for ground support is naturally the focus of the design.The Gallente Design Bureau spent a lot of thought on this.
The first is the overall structure of the weapon compartment.
At that time, although the doomsday weapon had already appeared, it was just in the stage of deployment.No one had thought of miniaturizing such a powerful weapon.Therefore, the "Ghost" UAV still adopts a turret-style weapon layout.
For the Gatling laser launcher and the 40mm hybrid gun, the turret layout can still meet the requirements, because they are not large by themselves.But for the 155mm caliber hybrid gun, the traditional turret can't do it.
Therefore, the engineers ingeniously placed the 155mm main gun in the weapon bay. The main gun can only rotate within the plane of the fuselage axis relative to the weapon bay.In layman's terms, the artillery can only adjust the pitch angle if the weapon bay is fixed.However, the range is still very large, almost reaching 2X±80°, that is, the turret can protrude from both the belly and the back of the fuselage.
The rotation around the axis of the fuselage is accomplished by the weapon bay.The weapon bay itself is a rotatable drum, although the rotation angle is only ±80 degrees.However, with the pitch angle of the turret, it is actually enough to control most of the space above and below the fuselage.
When shooting, the weapon compartment cover is opened, the main gun increases the pitch angle, protrudes out of the compartment, and the weapon compartment rotates accordingly, aims at the target, and then shoots.Since the main gun can also shoot upwards, there is also a hatch on the back of the weapon compartment.
The biggest advantage of this layout is that the aircraft can enter the shooting state of flying around the target area without maintaining the so-called "lighthouse hovering" flight attitude.At the same time, the UAV can also launch artillery shells upwards for long-distance grenade rail shooting, which greatly improves the distance of UAV control.
As for the turrets of the other two weapons, they can be arranged on the rotating weapon bay.Since these turrets are all telescopic, when not in use, the weapons are all stored in the body, so the flight resistance can be greatly reduced during normal cruise.
Then there are the shells used.
Originally, this matter was very simple, because the shells used by the hybrid cannon were either microscopic particles or simple solid shells.The so-called solid shell is a simple piece of metal of a specific shape, usually iron.Due to the high muzzle velocity of electromagnetic orbital weapons, even such a one or two kilograms of iron, at a speed of about ten times the speed of sound, its destructive power is enough.
But on this ground support UAV, things are not that simple.Whether it is a particle beam or a solid shell, they are all directed energy weapons, and they are all weapons for killing single-point targets.Although later, in order to solve this problem, the night elves developed an energy projectile launch mode, that is, to launch a mass of high-energy plasma with an electromagnetic orbital force field.However, such shells still have limited killing effects, and are more suitable for fast small-caliber artillery such as 40mm caliber automatic guns.When it comes to the caliber of the 155mm artillery, using this mode is too powerful.
Therefore, the Gallente Design Bureau found the Minmatar military-industrial complex that also participated in the bidding, and hoped that the two groups could cooperate to jointly win this project.Although the United Group also participated in the competition, they knew very well that their design would be difficult to compete with such large design bureaus as Gallente and Emma, so they expressed early on that they could use it in the shells and missile warheads. QUESTIONS Help with any project, as long as the price is right.Therefore, the Gallente Design Bureau entrusted the United Group to develop surface-kill shells suitable for the "Ghost" UAV.The ammunition that was later named the "Excalibur" series of guided shells was the result of this cooperation.
The term "Excalibur" is taken from the sword in the stone of King Arthur, the ancient hero of the Eminor Continent in the Creation God Realm, and is the name of a series of shells. The "Excalibur" series shells are divided into three categories: ABC. Type A is unpowered gliding shells, Type B is ramjet extended-range shells, and Type C is ion engine extended-range shells.
Generally, Class A is the cheapest, easiest, and has the most warhead space. Type B can only be used on planets with oxygen, but the flight speed is fast and the range is long. Type C is for use on planets without oxygen, but the cost is relatively high.
In fact, the initial velocity of electromagnetic orbital weapons is generally very high, but the "Excalibur" series shells are completely different. Because such shells need warheads, guidance systems, etc. inside, their weight far exceeds that of solid shells. ——The shells of the "Excalibur" series generally weigh about 50 kilograms, while those solid shells generally weigh about 1 kilogram.If the "Excalibur" shells are fired at an initial velocity of more than ten times the speed of sound, the recoil force will be astonishingly large.At least the aircraft should not use weapons with such a large recoil.
Therefore, in order to shorten the reaction time of the enemy, the shells can only be fired at a low initial velocity, and then accelerated to a high velocity by the propeller.Ion thrusters are commonly used thrusters on night elf spaceships, but when placed on cannonballs, the price is a bit inappropriate.However, for general use, the joint group has no choice.Although the ramjet is good, it can only be used in an atmosphere with oxygen. Only in this way can the fuel be burned.In fact, the fuel of a ramjet engine can be mixed with an oxygen generator, but that is not much different from a rocket engine.The reason why the ramjet is light is that it does not use oxygen generator.
Finally, there is the issue of stealth systems.
The main reason is that all stealth operations systems require a better shipboard CPU, which is definitely not available on a civilian shuttle.Therefore, not only the Clerelle Laboratory needs to optimize and improve the existing system, but the spacecraft design department also needs to upgrade the CPU processing of the shuttle.
However, fortunately, the Gallente Design Bureau has always emphasized the comfort of the interior space of the spaceship, and there is a lot of room for upgrades inside the spaceship.Therefore, it is not difficult to solve the problem of the main gun and shells in this job.
In this way, this unmanned aerial gunboat won the army's bidding and was soon put into use by the army.In addition to some improvements to the shells, this kind of drone that rains bullets has always been well received.
Detailed performance:
Weapon system:
A 25mm Gatling pulse laser with a rate of fire of 8000 rounds per minute is deployed on the left side of the main gun hatch.Mainly responsible for precise attack on a single target.Laser beams of different frequencies can be emitted by replacing different laser emitting crystals.However, the most commonly used is the gamma band, which is also the band with the best concealment.
A 40mm hybrid gun with a rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute is deployed on the right side of the main gun hatch and is mainly responsible for launching high-energy plasma clusters to deal with small cluster targets.Plasma energy rounds are very cheap, and due to their high muzzle velocity, they are very accurate.Many times, even if the target is a single target, operators like to use this weapon with explosive effects.In small-scale operations, the 40mm hybrid gun is the most commonly used weapon.
A 155mm hybrid gun with a rate of fire of 10-15 rounds per minute.Most of the volume of the artillery is deployed in the rotating weapon bay.The pointing axis of the nose of the fuselage is in the pitch plane, and the artillery itself is connected with the weapon bay through a hinge.Around the axis of the fuselage, the so-called left and right rotation is realized by the rotation of the entire weapon bay.Due to the use of electromagnetic propulsion, the force is relatively uniform during the launch of the shell, and the recoil force is relatively small, which has very little impact on the aircraft.
When firing heavy shells, the muzzle velocity of the main gun is low, only about Mach 6, that is, 1.8-2.1 kilometers per second.This muzzle velocity is not much faster than a cannon propelled by explosives, but in an atmosphere with oxygen, this velocity is enough to make the scramjet ignite and work.Driven by the ramjet engine, the speed of the projectile will exceed 6.8 kilometers per second, which is more than Mach 20.This speed is almost the working limit of the detached ramjet engine.
If there is no oxygen in the atmosphere of the combat area, shells with ion thrusters are used.The launch speed and top speed are about the same.
In addition to shooting downwards, the main gun can also fire shells upwards for grenade rail attacks.For shells with a range-extending system, the range can reach 200 kilometers under standard gravity.This is a howitzer mounted at an altitude of [-] meters.
power system:
Conventional powered flight mainly relies on distributed ion thrusters on the airframe of the aircraft.Distributed ion thrusters can not only provide vectoring power, but also have the advantage of small plume characteristics.Putting it on a low-speed and low-agility aircraft is a bit overkill no matter how you look at it.However, for the sake of stealth, it can't be wrong to do so.
The hyperspace transition system is for the convenience of drones in space. After all, the night elves' air force bases are all kinds of spaceships.It's just that the "Ghost" UAV is relatively large, and only aircraft carriers and above-level warships can carry it, so the jump system is very necessary.
The "agile" hyperspace evasion system is a product of the Minmatar Military-Industrial Complex, which is specially designed for low-speed flying vehicles.The biggest feature of this hyperspace system is that it can instantly allow the subject to enter hyperspace for ultra-short-distance navigation.Generally, the sailing distance will not exceed 3 kilometers. The specific value depends on how much energy is invested, but in general, it will not exceed 10 kilometers at most.For dodging attacks, this range is enough.
electronic system:
Standard military quantum communication systems, covert operations systems, etc.
Defense system:
As an aircraft that needs to perform long-term cruise flights in areas where the enemy's air defense forces are relatively weak.The self-defense system is not the focus of the aircraft, but since there may still be sporadic long-range anti-aircraft fire on the ground, the shield system cannot be ignored.
The Impulse Shield Generator isn't the best shield system the night elves have, but it's still pretty good when it comes to balance.Most importantly, the pulse shield generator can generate omnidirectional energy pulse waves very easily.This is very effective when breaking through the shackles of domain power.At the same time it is very power-saving.Therefore, it is very suitable to be placed on this drone.
For those attacks that are too powerful, the main defense method of the "Ghost" UAV still relies on the stealth + dodge mode.
Use ammo:
Standard small series of laser crystals, 40mm series of mixed artillery shells (including subatomic, solid shells and local atmospheric gases), 155mm mixed artillery shells, 155mm electromagnetic propelled grenades.
Brief introduction of "Excalibur" series shells:
The term "Excalibur" is taken from the sword in the stone of King Arthur, the ancient hero of the Eminor Continent in the Creation God Realm, and is the name of a series of shells. The "Excalibur" series shells are divided into three categories: ABC. Type A is unpowered gliding shells, Type B is ramjet extended-range shells, and Type C is ion engine extended-range shells.
Generally, Class A is the cheapest, easiest, and has the most warhead space. Type B can only be used on planets with oxygen, but the flight speed is fast and the range is long. Type C is for use on planets without oxygen, but the cost is relatively high.
Under standard conditions, the maximum flight speed is Mach 22.At an altitude of 200 meters, the maximum range of the grenade trajectory is 50 kilometers, and the effective range of the straight trajectory is [-] kilometers.
The warhead can be equipped with 35-40 kg-level charges such as multi-fuze explosive charge, barrage-dispersed submunition, hydrogen bomb, and thermobaric bomb.
Introduction to Weapons - Orobas-class Titan Battleship
Orobas class
Encyclopedia business card
The aircraft carrier-type Titan-class battleship developed and manufactured by the Gallente Design Bureau carries the doomsday weapon "Aurora of Aurora".
Basic Information
The "Orobas"-class Titan is the largest fleet flagship of the night elves so far, and it is also the largest cavalry carrier-based aircraft and battleship delivery platform.Its main function is to lead the fleet to jump into hyperspace and rush to the battlefield quickly.Although the "Eropas" class is also equipped with doomsday weapons, but on this battleship, doomsday weapons are only a means of self-defense.The main combat method of the Orobas class is still to command the fleet and cavalry carrier-based aircraft to attack.
At the same time, the Orobas class is also a very luxurious space fortress. Gallente-style simple, clean, comfortable and generous designs can be seen everywhere inside the spaceship, which is well received by the officers and soldiers.
The word "Eropas" comes from the god of darkness in the ancient Greek mythology of the Eminor continent.

development path
Speaking of carrier-based aircraft delivery platforms, it can be traced back to the era when the night elves had just entered space.At that time, the carrier-based aircraft carrier platform could only carry a few aircraft.But soon, this type of carrier spacecraft became bigger and bigger.Before the birth of the Orobas class, the Night God class heavy aircraft carrier had always been the core existence of the night elf fleet.However, the Yagami-class heavy aircraft carrier also has unsatisfactory places.
First of all, although the Yagami-class aircraft carrier is huge, and the cavalry carrier-based aircraft is comparable in size to the cruiser, but because the hangar is specially designed for the cavalry carrier-based aircraft, it cannot dock warships of the cruiser level and above.When fighting in long-distance deep space voyages, the logistical support of the troops is extremely worrying.
Secondly, when the Yagami-class aircraft carrier sends troops, it can only open the wormhole in place first, let other troops go there first, and then fly to the target area through the jump engine.Such batching makes the fleet's forward troops extremely vulnerable to devastating blows.
Finally, although the Yagami-class aircraft carrier carries a large number of cavalry carrier-based aircraft, it lacks fast and effective means of self-defense.Once facing the dominant enemy fleet, it is likely to fall into a helpless situation.
At this time, the Envoy-class Titan, the night elf's most powerful weapon, is already in service. Based on this idea, the engineers of the Gallente Design Bureau are also preparing to develop a Titan-class warship.In order to avoid overlapping with the role of the Envoy class, the Gallente Design Bureau chose its best carrier-based aircraft carrier platform as the main function of the new Titan battleship.Although they also developed the Aurora Instrument, which can emit antimatter particle beams, as the new Titan's doomsday weapon, the core is still the carrier platform and space fortress.
Building a Titan-class battleship is not just a matter of enlarging the size of the original type of warship. The larger internal space does not mean that designers can waste it at will, because users expect more functions.
The first thing to balance is the contradiction between the doomsday weapon and the internal space occupied by other functions.
For the envoy class, this kind of contradiction does not exist at all.The God Envoy class is a warship that uses doomsday weapons as its main combat method, so it is reasonable for doomsday weapons to occupy more space.But for the Orobas class, the hangar, living area, command system, dock area, jump channel generator, etc., without exception, are huge and extremely important things.For this reason, the Gallente Design Bureau gave up the idea of introducing Judgment Day from the Emma Design Bureau, and concentrated on developing a doomsday weapon exclusively for the Orobas class.This is how the Aurora Instrument was born.Although the delivery speed and distance of this doomsday weapon are not as good as the Judgment Day, it is powerful and small, and it is more than enough for planetary bombing or ship self-defense.Very much in line with the needs of the Orobas class.
Secondly, the problem of docking large warships should be solved.At that time, the research on the gravitational effect based on the theory of quantum entanglement had achieved further results, and the traction device capable of generating bow-shaped gravitational waves had already come out.The Gallente Design Bureau imported a patent from the Caldari Design Bureau to install the bow-shaped gravitational wave generator on the surface of the hull.With this device, battleship-class ships can be easily guided into the hangar without worrying about possible collisions.As for the size of the hangar entrance, it is a very easy to solve.The bow-shaped gravitational wave device can also fix a large warship such as a heavy aircraft carrier in a fixed position relative to the Titan warship, which makes the maintenance of the aircraft carrier much easier.
Finally, there is the matter of the skip channel generator.Previously, the jump tunnel generator on the Yeshen-class aircraft carrier was a type of wormhole generator.It is to transfer troops by creating a wormhole that communicates with the induction force field.What the Orobas class has to do is to lead the entire fleet into a hyperspace state in an instant and jump to the target location.After some hard work, this problem has also been solved.
With these key issues resolved, the Gallente Design Bureau engineers did not rush the rest of the work.In fact, although the command system, living quarters and other facilities do not directly reflect their power like doomsday weapons, they are also related to the combat effectiveness of the entire army.In these places, the engineers tried their best to create a comfortable and convenient living and working environment for the officers and soldiers, so as to guarantee the morale to the greatest extent.
When this battleship named after the mythical God of Darkness entered service, the entire army received rave reviews.
Deployment significance
The Orobas class is the largest regular fleet flagship in the history of the night elves. It exists not only as a larger aircraft carrier, but also as a space fortress that can provide various dock maintenance and comfortable personnel.More importantly, the Orobas class can make the entire fleet appear on the battlefield instantly.And after reaching the battlefield, the doomsday weapon can shoot immediately.This is very important for the suddenness of fleet actions.However, the Orobas still suffers from the force field problem, and until the most recent Orobas entered service, the night elves had not solved the problem of jumping without the force field.
With the Orobas class, the night elves can be said to be truly confident that their troops can gain a firm foothold in deep space.
General performance and equipment
General Arrangement and Structure
All warships designed by the Gallente Design Bureau pay attention to a simple and sleek appearance, whether it is a small warship or a titan, they all have this style, and the Orobas class is no exception.Compared with the large enoki mushroom shape full of edges and corners of the Angel class, the Orobas class can be said to be very beautiful and very sci-fi.
Like the Envoy class, the Orobas class also adopts a highly modular layout to facilitate subsequent upgrades.But compared with the modularity of the Angel class, the modularity of the Orobas class is more advanced.
Since the purpose of the construction of the Orobas class is to allow the troops to survive independently in the deep space environment without rear support.This is not just enough life support equipment, it also needs a whole set of production equipment.Only when it can produce, the equipment can guarantee its own operation.For this purpose, the Orobas class is equipped with a complete set of equipment from the extraction of known ores to the production and manufacture of large spaceships.In order to save space, these facilities are generally put away.
This is where the Orobas class is more advanced than the Envoy class in terms of modularity—not only is it easy to disassemble, but it can also carry various modules that meet the design requirements. When needed, activate the corresponding modules to complete the task , and usually, unused modules are placed in the most space-saving way.
powerplant
The main energy source of the Orobas class is the automatic energy recharging magic circle installed on most night elf spaceships and equipment.This kind of magic circle can simulate the meditation of a magician, automatically absorbing energy from the surrounding space, which greatly reduces the space for the spacecraft to carry fuel.The relatively big disadvantage of this method is that it requires a large surface area. The general method to overcome this disadvantage is to adopt a multi-layer nested arrangement of magic circle and hull armor, that is, "armor-magic circle-armor-magic circle " layout.The doomsday weapon also adopts a similar arrangement.
In order to ensure the explosive power of the ship in an emergency, the Gallente Design Bureau also installed a high-power antimatter reactor and a cesium clathrate chemical reactor.In order to improve the energy supply capability of the ship in an emergency.
The thrusters still use ion thrusters.Despite their large size and low conventional cruising speeds, the Irobas class takes only a short time to enter hyperspace.That's thanks to a new jump engine.However, this engine still cannot solve the problem of short non-induced jump distances.
Weapon system
Currently, the main weapon system of the entire ship is the "Aurora Instrument".Like the Day of Judgment, the Aurora System also has a multi-target tracking capability similar to phased array radar, and can attack a large number of small targets at the same time.But when it comes to ultimate destruction, the Aurora Instrument is far inferior.Although the speed of the high-speed antimatter particle beam is very fast, compared with the photon, its speed is still much slower, and the range is also very short.Therefore, although the instrument of aurora has the power of a doomsday weapon, its main function is still the self-defense of the ship.
electronic system
Due to its late-development advantage, the Eropas class not only carries more photon processors.In terms of procedure, it is also more advanced.For supercomputers, the speed is not the superposition of the processor's computing speed, but is greatly affected by the program.If the software system is well designed, even if the processor itself is relatively slow, it can also exert high performance.On the Orobas class, the computing system can be described as a powerful combination, with more and more advanced processors and a more optimized software system.
With the support of these basic equipment, the Orobas class is not only more delicate in controlling doomsday weapons and more perfect in stealth performance, but also more handy in fleet command and carrier-based aircraft mobilization.
Technical characteristics
The Orobas class represents the masterpiece of the night elf aircraft carrier fleet, and is the core ship of all legion forces.
strong attack
Equipped with a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and manned carrier-based aircraft.It can not only complete air combat missions between fleets, but also easily complete attacks on fixed facilities and planetary surfaces
