2166: Political turmoil

12 BBY, August 17. On the fourth day after Tang Xiao's return, Hari Seldon was released from prison without charge. After being imprisoned for more than a month, he finally saw the light of day again.

However, the Dawn Principality official did not provide any further explanation for the acquittal of Hari Seldon, but simply released him.

On August 18, Francis Underwood, Prime Minister of the Principality of Dawn, submitted his resignation due to health issues.

On August 20, Francis Underwood's resignation was rejected.

On August 26, Hari Seldon resigned from the post of Governor of the Haven District and was transferred to the position of Secretary-General of the Office of the Prime Minister of the Principality.

On August 27, BIG-BOSS, the former commander-in-chief of Titan Security Company, retired from the mercenary group and returned to the Principality of Dawn. At the age of 72, he became the governor of the Haven sector. He uses John Doe as his official name. The current commander of Titan Security Company is Mira Han.

BIG-BOSS is also one of the key figures in the early awakening, but he rarely participates in the core affairs of the fourth civilization. His greatest achievement is to lead the Titan Security Company to gain a foothold in the chaotic Hutt space and become one of the top mercenary groups in the Hutt space.

For 20 years, the Titan Security Company, under the leadership of BIG-BOSS, fought in the Hutt space. It not only successfully disrupted the situation in the Hutt space, but also became the trigger for the civil war among the Hutt people. One of the clues, and also played a key role in the Dawn Principality's secret military presence in Hutt space.

During the Clone Wars, with the counterattack of the Galactic Republic, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, whose core is located in the east of the Milky Way, and the Principality of Dawn, whose core is located in the southwest of the Galaxy, still maintain a certain degree of contact because of the existence of Hutt Space. . In this process, Giant Security Company is an important part.

Now, BIG-BOSS enters the political arena and becomes the Governor of the Haven Sector. In fact, this also means a change in the future policy of the Dawn Principality. You must know that the Harvin Star District has always been a star district with economic and cultural development as its main goals, but now, BIG-BOSS has become the governor as a veteran military commander. The meaning behind this, It portends too much.

With the personnel transfers of BIG-BOSS and Hari Seldon, there will also be a series of more adjustments. However, it is worth noting that not only was Francis Underwood's resignation accepted, but the position of his wife, current Secretary of the Interior Claire Underwood, has also not changed.

But there is another transfer worth mentioning, that is, Francis Underwood’s long-time confidant and chief of staff Douglas Stamp was transferred to BIG-BOSS and became the leader of the Haven sector. Chief of Staff.

Compared to his former position as Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister's Office, Douglas Stamp was indeed demoted, but you must know that he was dismissed before that! Now that it has been reactivated and moved away from Francis, this seems to be another signal.

This series of personnel changes made many people with a keen sense of smell realize that a storm was brewing in the political arena of the Dawn Principality. It seems that the Principality of Dawn also plans to quietly complete its own internal transformation while the Galactic Empire is fighting a life-and-death battle with the Trade Federation. However, at this moment, while the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Empire were engaged in various overt and covert struggles around the Trade Alliance, the Hutt civil war in Hutt space also began to undergo some changes.

12 BBY, August 30, Hutt space, outer space of Barab planet.

A large-scale encounter broke out between the two warring parties in the Hutt civil war, the fleet of the Desiligic family and the fleet of Besadi.

In this civil war, the Hutt's once-large fleet has greatly changed as the war progresses. The old warships built over thousands of years were damaged in the war. In order to continue the war, the Hutts also began to purchase various warships in large quantities on the black market.

By the way, although the Hutts have a huge industrial system inherited from the Hutt Empire and a complete warship manufacturing production line, none of this has developed for thousands of years. Because since the Hutt Empire was reorganized and became a nominal autonomous domain of the Galactic Republic, the Hutts have devoted all their energy to various smuggling activities, spice sales, and slave trade, building their own underground criminal empire.

Under such circumstances, heavy industry seems to be less necessary. The Hutts just maintain their own warships that have been used by the Hutt Empire thousands of years ago. Occasionally making some minor repairs and upgrades is enough. Because of the existence of this fleet, coupled with the remote geography of Hutt space, complex hyperspace channels, and more complicated racial relations, this is enough to prevent the Galactic Republic from all attempts to completely occupy Hutt space.

In fact, in this galaxy, before a large-scale war actually breaks out, it is not uncommon for some spaceships and battleships in good condition to become heirlooms passed down from generation to generation. As long as it rarely enters the atmosphere and remains in the vacuum of space for a long time, eliminating the possibility of parts being oxidized and corroded, it can be used for a long time with repairs.

The first large warship of the fourth civilization was the Hammerhead-class cruiser built more than 1,200 years ago and captured from pirates.

So in this large-scale battle taking place around the planet Baraboo, you can see that many of them are those who were eliminated during the war or their equipment was updated, or were seriously damaged and were considered unfit. Battleships suitable for continued service or sold out due to various corruptions.

Some of the capital ships behind the landing include Hiigara-class battlecruisers, Generosity-class communications frigates, and Defiant-class light destroyers. There are also some relatively advanced battleships, including Victory I-class Star Destroyers, Chasseur-class battlecruisers, Cole-class battlecruisers, Rookery-class battleships, etc.

You can even see a few Shenyi-class destroyers!

And there are countless small and medium-sized battleships that appeared on both sides in the Clone Wars - Aquitens-class light cruiser, Karak-class light cruiser, Apocalypse-class light cruiser, Puppet Man - class drone carrier, Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer, Revenge-class destroyer, Corellian DL-20 gunboat, Guard-class air defense destroyer, etc. This is simply a large exhibition area for old battleships!

What needs to be pointed out is that these warships appeared on both sides of the war at the same time. Coupled with the Hutt commander's strategy of having no strategy at all and only knowing "charge me", the fleets of both sides quickly fell into a melee. In this way, you have no idea which side of these battleships are from which side...

In the complex electromagnetic environment of the battlefield, endless electronic interference makes the identification codes of friend and foe on both sides sometimes unreliable. The plot is correct, and the result is that they are all fighting randomly!
