1973, National Day Grand Gift
Bang! Bang! Bang!! Countless fireworks burst above Dawn Star Planet, painting beautiful patterns across the sky. Even the usually cold, massive Star Ring had been fitted with countless colored lights, bathing the planet's sky in a riot of colors.
Today marked the eighth anniversary of the founding of the Duchy of Dawn. Since the duchy had been established in 20 BBY, up to the present year of 12 BBY, it had remained stable, prosperous, and strong—and grown more powerful by the day.
All of this was thanks to the wise leadership of the great, courageous, wise, and powerful Grand Duke of Dawn—Tang Xiao.
Under Tang Xiao's leadership, the Duchy of Dawn had defeated the Galactic Republic and established its own position. It had then made peace with the Galactic Empire, decisively ending the war. Afterward, through a series of targeted development measures, the Duchy of Dawn's national strength had risen rapidly.
The reorganization of Rendili StarDrive in particular, along with the relocation of Rendili Planet's vast population, had brought the Duchy of Dawn's overall strength to a new level. By now, according to statistics, the Duchy of Dawn's industrial production capacity had officially surpassed that of the former Confederacy of Independent Systems, making it one of the most powerful neighbors since the founding of the Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire.
With the completion of Rendili Planet's Stargate two years earlier, the population relocation effort had become much more convenient. In just two years, 30 billion people had been relocated. If the Ministry of the Interior had not been crying that it could not take any more, and Minister of the Interior Daphne Clement had not outright sprawled in Tang Xiao's office and thrown a tantrum, the relocation would have gone even faster.
