1433.Second Mandalorian Coup
Northeastern sector of the galaxy deep, Mandalore.
Now Mandalore is forming a delicate and dangerous balance, and this balance may be broken at any time, resulting in catastrophic consequences.
Ever since Mandalore suddenly announced the referendum without warning and then joined Confederacy of Independent Systems, this star area was destined to never be peaceful again.
That farcical referendum soon ended with the disappearance of Grand Duke of Mandalore Satine-Kryze, who then stood up and proclaimed himself Grand Duke of Mandalore, Prime Minister Almec who led Mandalore did not overturn the referendum results of Satine-Kryze.
Because he is also concerned about the political reputation of Satine-Kryze, hoping to use this to consolidate his dominance.
But after all, this is impossible. What Galactic Republic wants is not the facts. What they want is just an excuse to send troops.
Therefore, Galactic Republic Second Systems Army, under the personal leadership of Master Windu, immediately left the defense zone and headed for Mandalore, and attacked Mandalore issued an ultimatum, requiring them to dissolve the current government, establish the New Deal government according to the list given by Galactic Republic, and immediately join the war and declare war on Separatists.
Prime Minister Almec rejected this ultimatum. He knew very well that once he accepted the ultimatum, he would never be able to touch the position of Grand Duke Mandalore again.
He kept sending messages to Count Dooku, hoping that the results of this referendum could be exchanged for support from Confederacy of Independent Systems. This is also the reason why he has been unwilling to give up the inexplicable referendum results of Satine-Kryze. Because if Count Dooku is willing to support, then it is equivalent to supporting his status as Grand Duke of Mandalore in disguise.
With the assurance of being the second most powerful man in the galaxy, his position as Grand Duke will be extremely secure.
But on the other hand, Galactic Republic is also waiting for this.
Under the leadership of Master Windu, the Galactic Republic Second Systems Army main fleet rushed into Mandalore after the ultimatum arrived. Although they did not directly occupy it, they completely blocked the planet.
This is actually done because Galactic Republic is afraid of the neutral planet alliance led by Mandalore. After all, this is a large alliance with more than 1,500 galaxies. Once Galactic Republic's armed invasion of Mandalore becomes a reality, those 1,500 galaxies will likely have a very extreme reaction.
With the blockade of Galactic Republic fleet, the situation of Prime Minister Almec is getting worse and worse.
Because Mandalore had already become a mess after the disappearance of Satine-Kryze, and people's trust in the government almost dropped to a freezing point. Many administrative divisions, including Mandalore's former capital Keldabe, have also announced that they will no longer accept the management of the Sundari government.
At the same time, Count Dooku didn't give him any response at all. He neither agreed nor refused, just dragging on.
In this case, Prime Minister Almec is almost unable to maintain its rule.
Therefore, after Mandalore was blocked for a week, Prime Minister Almec had to announce that he would give up the referendum results, but at the same time he also announced that he would continue the previous policies of Satine-Kryze, and Mandalore would still remain neutral.
But Galactic Republic will not give him this opportunity. Second Systems Army's request remains unchanged - Prime Minister Almec will step down immediately, and Galactic Republic will preside over the selection work of the Mandalore New Deal government. Note that they use the word selection, not election.
The blockade is still going on.
However, even at this level, it is still difficult for Galactic Republic to directly implement military occupation of Mandalore, because none of the 1,500 galaxies of the Neutral Alliance has yet made a clear statement.
From this point of view, the Satine-Kryze policy is actually very effective. At least, the political environment she left behind did make Galactic Republic extremely worried about direct armed invasion.
But now, this fragile balance has been broken!
On the flagship of the Second Systems Army's main fleet, Mace-Master Windu received a communication - from the satellite of Mandalore, the governor of Concordia State on Concordia satellite, the communication from Pre-Vizsla!
Pre-Vizsla told Master Windu that he would replace Republic army and expel the current government of Prime Minister Almec, Establish a pro-Galactic Republic New Deal government, and be willing to accept Galactic Republic's conditions - join the war, and declare war on Confederacy of Independent Systems!
Pre-Vizsla also told Master Windu that he was the Mandalorian, so if this matter was left to the Mandalorian himself, it would be much simpler than it would be handled by an external force like Galactic Republic. But at the same time, Galactic Republic must also publicly recognize the legitimacy of his organization Mand'alor.
That's right, recognize the legitimacy of Death Watch!
Master Windu directly agreed to the request. He agreed to the request as Second Systems Army Commander and reported the decision to the headquarters Nubian Planet.
Soon, Second Army Governor Fliry Vorru agreed to the decision and submitted it to Galactic Senate.
The results came quickly. Death Watch, the extremist terrorist organization born on Mandalore, was officially recognized by Galactic Republic!
After being recognized, Governor of Concord Dawn Pre-Vizsla immediately stood up and declared his identity as Death Watch to the Mandalore public. He also declared that the regime of Prime Minister Almec was illegal. He would overthrow the rule of Almec and bring Mandalore onto the right track.
This is just the beginning. The sister of the missing Grand Duke of Mandalore Satine-Kryze, Bo-Katan-Kryze, also stood up and publicly announced her support for Death Watch, and also revealed her identity as Death Watch.
At the same time, Death Watch's activities are directly made public on Mandalore!
Wearing black Mandalorian Crusaders armor, Death Watch swaggered onto the streets, stormed towards the city administrative center, grabbed all the city's administrative agencies with great fanfare, and shot them on the spot!
What Death Watch does is so simple and crude!
But now, Prime Minister Almec has completely lost control of the situation, and Mandalore is completely leaderless! In the past, Satine-Kryze could gather the power of a large number of political factions in the entire Mandalore to encircle and suppress Death Watch, and drive them underground to dare not come forward, but now Prime Minister Almec simply does not have this ability.
He could only sit in despair in Sundari's palace, watching cities succumb to Death Watch's despotic power.
And this coup is called Second Mandalorian Coup!
