Name: Star of Hope.

Total mass: 1600 trillion trillion tons.

Diameter: km.

Planet Gaia: ELS Hive Consciousness. Also known as: Mother Nest.

Defensive Armament: 300,000 electromagnetic railguns, 150,000 medium-range laser defense arrays, 1,500 long-range neutron fusion nuclear missile silos. 10,000 ground bunkers, 100,000 anti-aircraft missile towers, 1,000 sensor towers, 36 doomsday turrets, countless Hot Bettys, Bomb Billies, and Spinners. Planet-class GN shield force field (simulation in progress...)

Berthing Starport: A standard first-class starport capable of berthing 30,000 battlecruisers simultaneously, with 200 repair bays. Seventy-two reassembly and disassembly bays allow for rapid disassembly, upgrades, component replacement, and manufacturing. With sufficient resources and continuous, full-scale operation, an average of one Minotaur-class battlecruiser can be produced every ten days. (That's 18 more Minotaur-class battlecruisers in six months, which is better than nothing. This is intended for emergency wartime production, not a dedicated shipyard.)

Mobility Engines: 1,000 large neutron fusion propulsion engines, 400 large sub-light-speed drive engines, 200 light-speed engines, and 100 super-light-speed jump engines. (Due to the sheer number of engines and energy constraints, the scientific team is diligently working to address the energy burden on the "Star of Hope." The qualitative light-speed engine is currently undergoing verification and project approval.)

Super weapons: a space-time folding weapon and a giant Drakken laser focusing cannon.

Current crew: 300 million mutant metal life forms, 2,000 human operators and officers, 60,000 clone guards, including Imperial stormtroopers, Terran Marines, and replicators from the Astra Militarum.

Additional buildings: 1. Red Water Storage Sea, totaling 390 million cubic meters, located in the core area of ​​the crust inside the "Star of Hope".

2. Large material storage warehouse, containing daily necessities, medical supplies, military supplies, etc. Totaling 18 million cubic meters, located in the armored interlayer area in the middle section of the earth's crust.

3. A festival town covering an area of ​​280 square kilometers, located near the equator on the surface and protected by the sky defense cover.

4. The fortress living area, including dormitory areas, dining areas, entertainment areas, garbage disposal areas, food and water recycling areas, etc., totaling 500 square kilometers, is located in the middle and upper layers of the earth's crust.

Chang Wei glanced at the data panel of the "Star of Hope" and nodded in satisfaction. He then opened the tactical view and silently commanded, "Hive, begin the battle. Launch a devastating attack on the Death Star and make sure it is completely destroyed!"

A gentle response came from the Hive immediately: "Yes, Commander. The Hive will obey your supreme command and destroy all enemies!"

Soon, a massive star emerged from the warp's light, a stunning sight that once again made all the delegates in the venue hold their breath, including Bail Organa and Governor Mon Mothma, who had been kept in the dark.

"It's over, there is actually a bigger empire! Do we still have hope?" Someone suddenly let out a trembling cry, and many representatives who were concentrating on watching the picture were filled with great worry and inner fear.

Chang Wei took everything in and thought secretly.

As expected, there are still some shaky-minded individuals within the Rebel Alliance. I wonder how many of them are opportunists. Never mind, I'll deal with the internal issues later. Right now, it's time to give everyone a huge dose of confidence.

Chang Wei coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention. He then stood up from his seat, his expression solemn, and extended his hand toward the screen, beginning his speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce this... one of the Light Chaser Fleet's hidden trump cards, the planetary mobile fortress—the 'Star of Hope'!"

As his words fell, the giant silver celestial body in the picture, as if in response, emitted a thick red beam of light, shooting directly towards the Death Star.

boom!

The red beam collided with the Death Star's shield, producing only violent ripples on the contact surface without penetrating the shield. However, the beam did not end, but continued to output, as if it would not stop until it melted through the shield!

"Is this...a giant lightsaber?" A representative who claimed to be knowledgeable expressed his guess.

Chang Wei tilted his head to look at him and replied with a smile, "No! It's not a lightsaber. It's a super weapon carried by the Star of Hope, called the Giant Drakken Laser Focus Cannon. The Giant Drakken Laser Focus Cannon has a maximum energy output of 7,500 megawatts. Unlike conventional beam weapons, its output is stable and continuous. Given enough time, it can penetrate any heavy shield or armor."

Just as Chang Wei had said, the ripples on the Death Star's shield became increasingly violent, and its contact surface, like a boiling oil pan, gradually grew red and hot. Finally, with a "pop," it melted through, piercing the Death Star.

In the image, the Death Star clearly made an emergency maneuver before its shield was broken. This prevented the red beam from penetrating the core reactor, but instead narrowly avoided it along the armor layer near the equator.

The damage caused by the giant Drakken laser focusing cannon was so terrifying that just by glancing at the edge, it shaved a middle part on the Death Star, forming a wide "canyon" on its surface. Everything inside it melted into coke and molten iron, emitting a red heat wave that rolled and spread, which was shocking to watch.
