The Death of Silas
The rage in Orman Tagge's heart had reached its peak. He wanted nothing more than to hurl every force at his disposal onto Druckenwell planet and smash that planet completely to pieces! His brother Silas Tagge included!
He no longer wanted to spare a single thought for family ties. All he wanted was for Silas to die! Die!
That stupid younger brother had ruined everything!
Yet even amid his towering fury, Orman Tagge regained his composure. He knew there were some things he could not do.
As a newly appointed Imperial Marshal, Orman Tagge controlled an enormous amount of power. The strongest among them was the so-called prototype ships.
The Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance now essentially managed the Galactic Empire's cutting-edge technological research and development, and its power continued to grow. Hundreds of the Galactic Empire's most advanced research projects were completed within this alliance. The Empire's three industrial giants—Kuat Drive Yards, Corellia Engineering Company, and Sith Fleet Systems—had also sent their finest technical teams to join it.
And naturally, the project consuming the greatest amount of resources in every respect was the Death Star project!
The funds invested in these projects amounted to trillions of Imperial credits. Seventy percent of the Galactic Empire's annual military budget went into them!
So although Orman Tagge, as an Imperial Marshal, did not directly command any troops, the resources he truly controlled were in fact the greatest among the twelve Imperial Marshals.
Now, the other two technically inclined Imperial Marshals—Matthias Bachi and Demitrius Zaarin—had also been incorporated into this alliance, making the Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance even more powerful.
Emperor Palpatine's primary intention had been to divide Orman Tagge's power, but in practice, it had gradually created a faction within the Galactic Empire centered around technical officials—the research faction.
With such
