1597. Last fight

I only saw that this unmanned galaxy has been occupied by a large number of Kuat Drive Yards spacecraft. And more than a dozen large space stations have been built close to the star, where the workers and engineers involved in the construction live and have fun.

And with this huge number of workers and spaceships, they are building an extremely huge facility!

This facility currently has no apparent function. It is basically in the shape of a dish with a diameter of over 20,000 meters! It's a complete super Big Mac!

All projects are carried out in recent orbits. In order to prevent strong stellar radiation from interfering with the construction of the project, more than ten umbrella-shaped spacecraft are deployed near the construction site. These umbrella-shaped spacecraft will support a Deflector Shield covering a very wide area, and the shield will protect these spacecraft and construction workers from harm.

Just to maintain the operation of these shield ships, the shield capacitors need to be constantly replaced. The cost of this part alone is already an astronomical figure!

That's not all. There are still several energy extraction devices being built closer to the star, which rely entirely on robots for construction. The energy level of these energy extraction devices is very high. This is definitely not a project to meet the energy supply of this construction area or other planets, but a project with a larger and more concentrated energy consumption!

Looking at the engineering ships that are constantly busy, these spacecrafts and their equipped workers, technicians, scientists, and various personnel needed to maintain life. A total of more than 5 million people are involved in this engineering project. The wages of these people alone are also a huge cost, because in order to maintain confidentiality, all Joiner are not allowed to leave until the project is completed. There is only one way to make them work with peace of mind - throw money at them.

And with this almost endless supply of funds and materials, such a huge project was completed in this unmanned galaxy in just two or three months! It can be said that in this galaxy, only Kuat Drive Yards has such terrifying industrial strength!

On the bridge of Knight-class Star Destroyer stationed on the planet, Lila-Blythex was facing the holographic projection of a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman - He However, Kuat Drive Yards is currently Kuat of Kuat, Onana-Kuat (this weird title sounds super weird when read).

"Governor of the Ninth Army Dunn-Vyssexx has convinced Chancellor Palpatine for us. Now Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command has officially approved our application. This time we attack The Modell Sector combat plan is hosted by our Kuat Drive Yards. Officers and army and navy combat personnel at all levels have been assembled at Coruscant and will be in place in four days," Lila-Blythex said.

"What about the conditions?" Onana-Kuat asked directly.

It is not without reason that she regards this military operation to attack Modell Sector as her last trump card. Not only because of the political pressure brought to her by Gideon Danu, but also because of the pressure brought to her by Duchy of Dawn.

Onana-Kuat is not an idiot. She actually knows that Gideon Danu actually has no ambition to replace her. But the problem is that the more Gideon Danu does on behalf of Kuat on Galactic Senate, the more praise she gets. In contrast, she herself becomes a negative teaching material.

If things continue like this, even if Gideon Danu doesn't mean it himself, those who support him will push him up.

On the other hand, it is Dawn Star Planet.

On the front line with Dawn Star Planet, Republic Fleet was defeated again and again, and many times it was because of the huge difference in battleship performance. Not to mention anything else, there are two models of Dawn Star Planet and Titan warship, but there is nothing on Galactic Republic.

I finally made a Eclipse-class, and the prototype ship was blown up...

Onana-Kuat himself knows that it is actually a good thing that Eclipse-class prototype ship was bombed. So on the surface she scolded Lila-Blythex to give her a blow, but in reality she couldn't really blame the other party too much.

This has nothing to do with her judgment on Lila's ability, but because although Palpatine and the laymen in the parliament are very fascinated by this plan and have no doubts about it, she herself knows that it is simply impossible to get Eclipse-class out within a year! No matter how powerful the genius is, it won't work!

Therefore, after this series of failures, there are now some voices in the parliament questioning Kuat Drive Yards's warship design and manufacturing capabilities.

If the technical power gap between Dawn Star Planet and Dawn Star Planet cannot be reversed, as Galactic Republic continues to fail on the front line, there will be more and more such voices. When these influences broke out in full force, even she herself didn't know if she could resist the pressure of Galactic Republic.

Even if it is the best ending, it may be like Rendili StarDrive, being relegated to the cold palace.

With the strength of Galactic Republic, it is not difficult to cultivate another Kuat Drive Yards. At least Sienar Fleet Systems, which is rising rapidly now, is a potential possibility.

Not to mention Corellia Engineering Company, which can be said to be the oldest industrial giant in the history of Galactic Republic, it can be said that it takes a matter of minutes to replace Kuat Drive Yards.

They are just making a fortune in the field of civilian spaceships and small and medium-sized warships in a low-key manner, and they do not want to confront celebrities like Kuat Drive Yards in the current government head-on.

It's not that I don't want to, it's not that I can't.

Therefore, due to various reasons, Onana-Kuat had to make a last ditch effort [Note 1]!

Defeat Duchy of Dawn! Get their advanced battleship technology! Only then can we maintain the status of Kuat Drive Yards!

So after Onana-Kuat learned through various channels that Supreme Strategic Command had drawn up a plan to raid Modell Sector, she decided to seize this opportunity.

But looking for relationships in many ways, the results are not ideal. Even if she went to Galactic Republic, the Minister of Population, this act of directly intervening in military affairs was still not accepted.

In this case, even if she felt 10,000 unhappy, Onana-Kuat had to find Lila-Blythex and negotiate terms with her.

-

[Note 1]: In fact, although Kuat Drive Yards's situation in the original plot was not so bad, Onana-Kuat still could not withstand the pressure from Galactic Republic, and she sadly stepped down at the end of Clone Wars. If her nephew Little Kuat hadn't been ruthless enough, Kuat Drive Yards would have been taken over by the Galactic Empire at this time.
