Chapter 461 28BBY
459, 28BBY
In this year, the war on Tatooine also intensified.
After Jabba the Hutt obtained 80 T-24 airspeeders from Yuri Orlov, he suddenly launched a counterattack and annihilated them in one fell swoop with the super high speed of the T-24 airspeeders. The Scourge was a convoy of Pathfinder-class light attack vehicles. One of the leaders of the Scourge, Broderick Rubble, a Bothan, was killed in the battle.
His replacement was his younger brother Magtan-Scar.
Scar was originally cruel, and became even more violent after his brother was killed. On that day, he sent 10 Banshee fighter planes to blow up a village outside Mos Eisley to the ground, killing and injuring more than 200 civilians. people, and then moved to the depths of the desert together with the land aircraft carrier Gadula.
Jabba sent the T-24 airspeeder team in hot pursuit. The two sides fought for three full days. The land aircraft carrier also suffered a lot of damage. Finally, he successfully sneaked into the sandstorm and escaped. Jabba's pursuit.
Later, Tang Xiao also discovered that Jabba's offensive became more fierce after receiving support from Yuri Orlov. Yuri Orlov now has extensive connections in the Corellian system and can obtain more weapons. Of course, he also resold some weapons from the Fourth Group. Although situations like this left-handed versus right-handed situation often occurred, in general he still made a lot of money.
Later, after Tang Xiao talked with the Hutt Alok Besadi, it was determined that Alok would come forward and hire the Titan Security Company to participate in the war.
Soon, the Iron Fang Hammerhead-class cruiser, spray-painted with the Titan Security Company logo, flew to Tatooine with five CR-70 frigates, and the war further escalated.
More than half a year has passed. For the fourth civilization, except for the proxy war on Tatooine, everything else is peaceful. But preparations for war have not stopped.
For the Galactic Republic, it means a major event-election!
The term of the current Speaker Sheev Palpatine will expire this year, so the election has officially begun. As always, various members of Congress are also taking part in activities, hoping to seek more benefits in the election.
Palpatine treated every member of Congress who supported him humbly and cautiously contacted various political factions. His low profile won him many votes. Many people believed that Palpatine was The Speaker's words would help their political views be implemented better, so they all sided with Palpatine.
At the end of the Galactic Republic, the situation was like this. The Speaker was known as the most powerful person in the entire galaxy, but in fact, it was often just a battlefield for the forces behind it.
Of course, no one in the entire galaxy will know that the election that took place on 28 BBY will be the last of more than 7,000 elections in the Republic's 25,000-year history.
Palpatine won re-election. He made everyone think that he had an opportunity to take advantage of him, but he cleverly stayed out of the matter and allowed these people to fight openly and secretly, but he continued to use this to accumulate strength.
After being re-elected, Palpatine finally gradually showed his fangs.
First of all, the overseas exploration plan supported by Deputy Speaker Mas-Ameda was exposed to a large number of scandals. Corruption, bribery, coercion, and inducements were all pointed at the Deputy Speaker.
The helpless Mas Almeda welcomed a guest in a black robe that night. This guest claimed to be the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. He forced Mas Almeda to -Ameda surrendered.
And when Sidious raised his hood to reveal his true face, Mas Ameda was surprised to find that this terrifying Sith Lord was actually Chancellor Sheev Palpatine! He finally fell at Sidious's feet and swore to become the Sith Lord's loyal servant.
At the same time, Darth Malthael did not stop his activities.
San Hill, the co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, also welcomed a guest in a black robe. After seeing the power of Darth Malthael, San Hill was already frightened. I am extremely afraid of any disobedience.
Darth Malthael did not embarrass him, he just took out a memory. Thorn-Hill opened the holographic projection of the memory, and a ferocious battleship was projected on it!
The shape of this battleship is somewhat similar to that of the Hammerhead-class cruiser, but the hammer-shaped bow of the Hammerhead-class cruiser is vertical up and down, while the hammer-shaped bow of this battleship is flat on the left and right. And there is no doubt that this battleship is much larger than the Hammerhead-class cruiser!
"This battleship..." Thornhill was shocked, and at the same time he was overjoyed.
The Interstellar Banking Association has always hoped to obtain a large battleship that can replace the Generous class communications frigate, but due to the restrictions of the Galactic Republic, they have never been able to do so.
“This is the weapon that can help us defeat the Galactic Republic and destroy Darth Sidious—the Behemoth-class battlecruiser.” Darth Malthael said calmly said.
"Darth Sidious...where is he lurking in the Galactic Republic?" Than-Hir asked.
"You're not ready to know the answer yet. For now, we share Darth Sidious's goals. He wants to break up the Galactic Republic, and so do we. But here's the kicker - him I hope to wipe out all the corporate giants including you and the Trade Federation during the civil war, so as to gain huge wealth and build an empire. But we... want to use this war to completely defeat him!" Malthael said.
"Galactic Republic..." Sancil's expression became ferocious.
“Give Tang Xiao the blueprint of this battleship. He will know what to do next. Moreover, he will also take you to see our common predecessor, Hego Damask II. The greatest legacy! Remember... war... is imminent..." Darth Malthael said, his body dispersed like black mist, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Sang-Hir looked at the holographic projection in front of him with eager eyes, "The Behemoth-class battlecruiser... is great!"
Because of the alliance between the two parties, Sang-Hir Er also knew that the Trade Federation was also developing a new type of kilometer-class battlecruiser, the Hiigaran class, which made him very enthusiastic. However, Newt Gunray has been unwilling to say anything about the construction status of the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser. It made him very frustrated.
But now, the blueprint of this battleship, which is definitely far stronger than the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser according to the statistics, is in his hands, how can he not feel excited.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed the communicator and connected to Tang Xiao's frequency.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I think I have obtained a powerful weapon and want to share it with you." Thornhill said calmly.
"I think we have all received instructions from Lord Darth Malthael. The war is getting closer and closer. I have also received permission to take you to see our mentor, Hego Darth. The legacy left by Musk II," Tang Xiao said in his own voice while quickly taking off his black robe.
"You... just got up?" Thorn Hill was a little strange.
"The air conditioner of the spaceship is broken and I'm very hot." Tang Xiao told lies with an expressionless face. "Teacher Hei Ge left behind a great project, and I was fortunate enough to participate in it. It just so happened that the results of this project had just been completed. By dawn, Come to me on the planet and I will show you.”
