20BBY, July 6, one-third of the year has passed Two (the Star Wars world has 10 months in a year and 35 days in a month, again), and the galaxy is still raging with war.
The Galactic Republic has gradually begun to step out from the shadow of the annihilation of the Jedi Knights. In fact, it is impossible not to step out. Now the Jedi Knights have become a taboo word in the Republic, and it is not even allowed to talk about it.
Coupled with the constant propaganda from the Republic's powerful propaganda agencies, the Jedi Order was exaggerated into a group that deliberately provoked wars, launched massacres everywhere, and controlled the core of the Republic's power, even trying to assassinate the Speaker for their own power. Palpatine's evil organization.
In fact, the people of the galaxy rarely see Jedi Knights, and they can only hear the legends of Jedi Knights. Moreover, the Jedi Knights actually acted very low-key most of the time. For example, when they arrested spice traders, they often disarmed them and asked them to surrender themselves. Driven by the Force, the defenses of these disarmed spice traders' minds were easily breached by the Force, and they subconsciously followed what the Jedi told them to do.
As a result, even fewer people have actually seen a Jedi Knight.
After the war broke out, Sheev Palpatine had already had a complete set of plans. In his propaganda, Jedi Knights are always linked to war, such as where a certain planet was captured under the leadership of which Jedi Master, and how many people were killed by the separatist rebels.
With so much news like this, people’s impressions of the Jedi have naturally changed.
Because in this interstellar age, most of the information that the public actually knows is from this planet. All news across galaxies requires the use of hyperspace communication technology, so it is basically ignored. Controlled by some large communications companies. As for the expensive Galaxy Hologram Network, only a few people can afford it.
In addition, Sheev Palpatine has naturally taken the media and propaganda agencies into his own hands very early on, and the power of public opinion is sometimes more powerful than a thousand Star Destroyers!
So after the Jedi Order was annihilated and the wanted order was implemented, such an atmosphere of hatred towards the Jedi Order quickly developed in the Galactic Republic.
After this, Palpatine began to push for Congress to pass a bill requiring that all domestic Force-sensitive persons above the standard be nationalized for recruitment, and then centralized training, and based on Depending on their circumstances, they are assigned to different Force-sensitive organizations.
However, the implementation of this bill was not smooth. A group of congressmen led by Bail Organa strongly opposed it. They always believed that the Jedi Order was innocent, and that the Galactic Republic should not overthrow the Jedi Order that had been implemented for tens of thousands of years. mode.
But they opposed it. In other areas of the Galactic Republic, especially in the military, the influence of the Jedi Order was quickly eliminated. After a few months, the Republic army once again regained its combat capability.
It’s just that there are basically no Force-sensitive people in the current Republic army. When facing Count Dooku and Tang Xiao’s dark side strongmen on the battlefield, they will still be in trouble. loss.
In this regard, Palpatine is secretly pursuing his own plan with the help of his advisor Black Hole, and this plan directly ignores the existence of the Council, more than one dark and mysterious dark side force The organization is preparing. So at this time, the Galactic Republic's counterattack began again.
In the northern region, the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army have almost cleared away the separatist forces in their areas. After all, there are no strong separatist planets in this direction.
But within the scope of the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army, the Geth attacks have made the Galactic Republic very uncomfortable. The recent Geth attacks on the planet Feida have been extremely violent. This diluted the joy of victory of the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army a lot, and the entire northern border was still shrouded in dark clouds.
In the northeastern direction of the plane star map, the Galactic Republic once again launched an attack on the planet Salukami guarded by General Grievous. However, due to the rebellion of the Second System Army, the Republic's military strength in this direction has been weakened a lot. It is still impossible to eat General Grievous in one bite.
And the situation on the Second System Army's side became increasingly complicated after Severance Tann launched a sudden attack and defeated Master Windu and the Second System Army. One of the most direct results is the disintegration of the Neutral Galaxy Alliance.
On the planet Mandalore, the leader of the Death Watch, Chao Chao Vizsla, has repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the Galactic Republic and hopes that the Republic will send troops to reinforce this direction. However, after the Neutral Galaxy Alliance fell apart, the attitudes of many galaxies in this direction began to become somewhat unclear, so the Republic did not intend to step into this muddy water for the time being.
For Chao Chao Vizsla, the Republic just gave some verbal promises and that was it.
So in this direction, the Galactic Republic's plan is to concentrate its forces to repeatedly attack the planet Salukami, striving to open the last portal of the Confederation of Independent Systems and march into their core area.
Now that the second ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, the Destruction, and the second ship of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, the Shadow, have appeared, the Galactic Republic is very worried that if left unchecked, there will be more Many super battleships appear. After all, the Confederation of Independent Systems, which controls the Dark Planet and Port Parment, has very strong industrial production capacity.
The eastern border of the plane star map is mainly the Hutt space. In this direction, the Galactic Republic will not rashly provoke the Hutts who are in chaos, and naturally there will be no military operations.
In the southeastern region of the plane star map, the Republic's counterattack was also quite smooth. The Supreme Strategic Command plans to strive to re-liberate the planet Rynos and rebuild the 14th Army within two months. But the planet Christophsis is a smelly and hard rock. The Republic's plan is to rebuild the 14th Army and then slowly take care of it.
Then there is the key point, the southwest direction—the Principality of Dawn!
In fact, as far as the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic is concerned, their determination to storm the Principality of Dawn is insufficient. Because several previous attacks on the Principality of Dawn failed, not only that, but the Principality of Dawn also took advantage of their dealings with the Jedi Order to suddenly attack and cripple the 17th Army in the Battle of Ennako System.
This battle has even made the Supreme Strategic Command hesitate, because so far, they have not found any way to confront the Titan battleship Xuanwu! What made them even more hesitant was that General Ling Liang, who commanded the Xuanwu, obviously knew how to advance and retreat. After the battle of the Ennaco system, she did not rush in to attack the planet Naboo, but simply retreated. Put on a posture that says I won't go out until you come over.
It looks like a snapping turtle with a mouth full of fangs, but it still shrinks itself into its shell...
But the attack on the Principality of Dawn came from Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. determination!
