The fleet consisted of several small ships, three to four hundred ters long, escorting an Ark chanicus exceeding three kiloters in length.
Contrary to common impressions in space, internal ships are usually more vulnerable the larger they are.
The reason for this phenonon is simple: the larger sothing is built, the heavier it becos. The heavier it becos, the greater the stress on the structure. At the sa ti, inertia makes maneuverability extrely difficult.
Given the sa materials, facing a Lance Batteries capable of penetrating a hull and punching a five-ter-diater hole, a small ship could continue to fly if it was not hit in a critical area, while a large ship might sink due to an avalanche-like structural collapse.
One can imagine two buildings with a design limit of six hundred ters, one built only one hundred ters high, and the other built a full five hundred and fifty ters. The latter's structure is close to its limit in bearing its own weight, let alone facing destruction?
This is also why it is rare to see internal ard ships - the weapon system itself and its supporting facilities take up too much weight.
Of course, it is not impossible to build it with military-grade materials, but this thing generally has another na: Defiant-class Escorts.
But before using this thing to bully the army, you need to pay attention to a problem. Because of its large mass, your ship will beco an extrely conspicuous gravitational anomaly under Auspex Array, even the planet's own background gravitational waves can't cover up your glimr.
Then pray that this planet had best not have land-based anti-air weapons or that there are no other enemy ships in space, otherwise you will first have to face a bunch of cannon arrays of equal specifications to your own.
You should know that gravitational waves, a phenonon based on the curvature of spaceti, are almost impossible to conceal. In theory, it can even transmit information across dinsions.
Unless it is equipped with so sub-space or Dark Age Archaeotech, the only way to hide is to have a larger-scale gravitational field cover up your characteristics.
At the sa ti, this is also why space ships don't bother to carry optical cloaking modules. Before the enemy can see you with the naked eye, your gravitational wave signature has already been exposed, so there is no need to do such a self-deceiving thing.
Well... there are exceptions. For example, so technologically advanced ancient lost races can conceal most of their characteristics, including gravitational waves.
This is also why Calgar, who is preparing his grand plan on this planet, has to cooperate with the Eldar, rather than simply modifying a stealth ship himself.
After understanding this background, you will find that the seemingly mighty engineering ship is actually the weakest in combat power among those ships, and the main force is those small ships surrounding it.
In the gaze of the crowd, several ships slowly dispersed, and the ship-borne guns mounted on them pointed unreservedly at the crowd below, forming a circle that surrounded the crash site and the Land Battleship in the center.
However, the crowd did not panic. This was just a normal procedure. Before the identities of both sides were fully confird, it was necessary to maintain absolute vigilance against each other... The reason why the Yarkalan Garrison did not do so was because they did not have the ability to do so.
Aside, Artwood looked up at several ships for a mont, then looked down at the crowd and said:
"Preliminary identification has just been completed in the communication. Rescue operations will begin after people are sent down from the ship to inspect."
As soon as he finished speaking, two Stormhawk Interceptors flew out, both with the sa great blue livery.
One flew into the crash site, which was the main Yarkalan Garrison, and the other passed unreservedly over the 1st chanized Regint, treating the air defense zone as if it did not exist.
But after she docked on top of the Land Battleship and opened the landing bay, Zhang Ge understood why she dared to play like this.
Standing boldly at the forefront was a Space Marine.
This was not surprising, after all, it was a Stormhawk Interceptor.
He had an exaggerated number of various honors, prayers, wax seals and gold ornants on his body.
This was also not surprising, it was only natural for a veteran to lead the team.
And on the helt, the part below the eyepieces, which should have been the faceplate, was covered with unfolded golden eagle wings.
This was a bit... in fact, more than a little surprising.
Because the troops wearing this distinctive helt are called Victrix Guard in the Ultramarines Chapter. They are composed of the absolute elite of the chapter and the veterans of veterans, and are usually only responsible for the bodyguards of senior officers and the defense of Ultramar.
To put it exaggeratedly, their status is equivalent to the Emperor's Custodes.
Their martial ability is equal to being stronger than ten thousand enemies and as powerful as a champion. Everyone has their own strengths, everyone has their own unique skills, and their wisdom and knowledge are even more astonishing, and may even bring unexpected surprises to the Primarch.
Not only that, behind this Veteran Sergeant were more than twenty Primaris Space Marines.
Before the guards could react, these Space Marines had already occupied all the key positions, and even almost wanted to take over the control of the Tribesn from the Sisters of Battle.
This was only after the Victrix Guard glanced at Amilia that he slightly signaled to stop it.
The reason why the Stormhawk Interceptor was so unscrupulous was also revealed at this mont—if you shoot this thing down in your own air defense zone, then the contents inside it will initiate Terminator Protocols in your defense zone.
Seeing that the situation had been brought under control, the Veteran Sergeant did not deal with the others first, but walked up to Artwood.
The complicated rituals between the Space Marines that were expected did not happen. He took a few big steps closer and raised his palm to slap Artwood's helt hard. The palm hit the white helt with a crisp sound, and at the sa ti, a curse was heard from the faceplate without reservation:
"Why did you lose? Is that how the 2nd Company Captain is leading you now? I've only been transferred to the Victrix Guard for more than ten years, and you've beco like this!"
Zhang Ge's eyes twitched slightly.
Considering that Space Marines are also individuals after all, it is normal for so individuals to have large deviations in personality.
And because of the system in the Chapter where each recruit first joins the Tenth Company and acts with the veterans, so more gifted recruits are specially picked by the veterans after "graduation" and taken to their own company to continue to lead them. This relationship makes the two more intimate than the usual Chapter brothers.
It is not difficult to imagine why Artwood is now a Veteran Sergeant himself, but he will still obediently bow his head to be scolded when facing this "master" who has fought alongside him for decades.
However, Zhang Ge was still a little puzzled at this ti: Why would such a Flesh Tearer's temperant be sent over for a security mission? The teacher-student relationship should not be the biggest influencing factor.
But when one Space Marine after another walked out of the Stormhawk Interceptor, and finally revealed the Sororitas Superior who walked out at the very end, Zhang Ge suddenly smiled in relief.
Her style was also different from the usual impression of the Sisters of Battle.
Although she was alone, even the corners of her eyes seed to bear the arrogance of Sororitas Superior, and her Rosarius Signum on her luxurious Force Feedback Armor marked her identity as a Palatine of the Order of Our Martyred Lady.
Obviously, this one was an even more Primarch-level Dignitaries.
