Chapter 460: 28BBY
The war on Tatooine intensified.
After Jabba the Hutt got 80 T-24 Airspeeders from Yuri Orlov, he suddenly launched a counterattack. With the super high speed of the T-24 Airspeeders, he wiped out the Scourge in one fell swoop. One of the leaders of the Scourge, one of the leaders of the Scourge, Broderick Gravel the Bothan, was killed in the battle.
His successor was his younger brother Magtan Scar.
Scar who was originally ferocious, became more violent after his brother was killed. He sent 10 Banshee Fighters that day to blow up a village on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, killing and injuring more than 200 civilians. People, and then moved to the depths of the desert with the Gardulla Command Carrier.
Jabba dispatched a team of T-24 Airspeeders to chase after them. The two sides fought all the way for three days. The Command Carrier also suffered a lot of damage and finally managed to sneak into the sandstorm and get rid of Jabba's pursuit.
Later, Tang Xiao also discovered that Jabba's offensive became more and more violent after receiving Yuri Orlov's support. Yuri Orlov now has extensive connections in the Corellian Engineering Corporation and can get more Weapons. Of course, he also resold some Weapons from the Fourth Group. Although there were often situations like this where the left hand hit the right hand, in general, he made a lot of money.
Afterwards, after Tang Xiao talked with the Hutt Arok Besadii, he confirmed that Alok would come forward and hire Atlas Security to join the battle.
Soon, the Hammerhead-class Cruiser Iron Tooth, painted with the logo of Atlas Security, 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, other places are peaceful. But the preparations for war have not stopped.
But for the Galactic Republic, it means a major event—an election!
The term of the current Supreme Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine, will expire this year, so the election process has officially begun. As always, various members of the Senate are also active, hoping to seek more benefits in the election.
Palpatine treated every Senator who supported him with humility and cautiously contacted various political factions. His low profile won him many votes. Many people thought that if Palpatine was the Supreme Chancellor, his or her political opinions would be better implemented, so they all sided with Palpatine.
At the end of the Galactic Republic, the situation was like this. The Supreme Chancellor was named the most powerful person in the entire Galaxy, but in fact, in many cases, it was just a battlefield for the forces behind it.
Of course, no one in the entire Galaxy would know that the election that took place on 28BBY 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 there was an opportunity for them, and he cleverly stayed out of it, letting these people fight openly and secretly, but he continued to build strength through this.
After being re-elected, Palpatine finally gradually showed his fangs.
First of all, the Outbound Flight Project supported by Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda has been exposed to a lot of scandals, corruption, bribery, intimidation, and temptation. All things are directed at the deputy speaker.
Mas Amedda, who had no master of the six gods, welcomed a guest in a black robe that night. This guest claimed to be the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and he forced Mas Amedda to succumb.
And when Sidious raised his hood to reveal his true face, Mas Amedda was surprised to find that this terrifying Sith Lord was actually Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine! He finally knelt at Sidious's feet and swore to be a loyal servant of the Sith Lord.
At the same time, Darth Malthael did not stop his activities.
San Hill, the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan, also welcomed a guest wearing a black robe. After seeing the power of Darth Malthael, San Hill was already terrified and did not dare to take any action. disobedience.
Darth Malthael did not embarrass him but just took out a memory.
San Hill turned on the holographic projection of the memory, and a Powerful Warship 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 left and right, and there is no doubt that this Battleship is much larger than the Hammerhead-class Cruiser!
"This Battleship..." San Hill was shocked, but at the same time, he was overjoyed.
The Interstellar Banking Clan has always hoped to obtain a large Warship that can replace the Munificent-class Communication Frigate, but due to the restrictions of the Galactic Republic, they have not been able to do so.
"This is a weapon that can help us defeat the Galactic Republic and destroy Darth Sidious—the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser." Darth Malthael said lightly.
"Darth Sidious...where in the Galactic Republic is he lurking?" San Hill asked.
"Right now you're not ready to know that answer. For now, we share Darth Sidious' goals. He wants to split the Galactic Republic, and so do we. But then comes the key—he I hope to wipe out all the Corporate Giants including you and the Trade Federation in the civil war, so as to obtain huge wealth and build an Empire. But we... want to use this war to completely defeat him!" Darth Malthael said.
"The Galactic Republic..." San Hill's expression turned grim.
"Give the blueprint of this Battleship to Tang Xiao, he will know what to do next, and he will also take you to see our common predecessor, Hego Damask II left behind the greatest Legacy! Remember... War... is imminent..." Darth Malthael said, his body dispersed like a black mist and finally disappeared without a trace.
San Hill looked at the holographic projection in front of him, his eyes became eager, "The Behemoth-class Battlecruiser... that's great!"
Because of the alliance between the two parties, San Hill also knew that the Trade Federation was also developing a new type of thousand-meter-class Battlecruiser, the Hiigaran-class, which made him very jealous, but Nute Gunray has always bragged about the construction of the Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers made him very depressed.
But now, the blueprint for this Battleship, which is definitely far stronger than the Hiigaran-class Battlecruiser in terms of data, is in his hands, how can he not feel excited?
Without any hesitation, he grabbed the communicator and connected it to Tang Xiao's frequency.
"Your Excellency, I think I have obtained a powerful weapon and I want to share it with you," San Hill said pretending to be calm.
"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 Damask II's legacy." Tang Xiao said in his original voice while quickly taking off his black robe.
"You... just woke up?" San Hill was a little strange.
"The air conditioner in the spaceship is broken, and I'm very hot." Tang Xiao said nonsense expressionlessly, "Mr. Hego left behind a great project, and I was also fortunate to participate in it. It just so happened that the results of this project had just been completed. Come to me and I will show you."
