1871. Chaotic Mandalore
Among the Mandalorian, there is still a group of people who do not want to give up their force. Although they also admit that Galactic Republic has overwhelming power and understand that the era of competing with Galactic Republic for supremacy has long passed, they still adhere to the Mandalorian's martial arts. These people call themselves True Mandalorian, or orthodox the Mandalorian.
True Mandalorian hopes to continue to exert the power of the Mandalorian on the mercenary battlefield. This is a method that has the best of both worlds, but in fact, it also bows to reality. And Jango-Fett was once their leader.
After that, there was Death Watch, which suddenly emerged decades ago.
Death Watch takes Darksaber as the leader's sacred object. They launch terrorist attacks and do all kinds of evil. They insist on regaining the glory of Mandalorian Crusaders at all costs. They are very resistant to New Mandalorian regime and continue to launch terrorist attacks. They want to overthrow New Mandalorian government and establish a militaristic military government of their own.
Therefore, Death Watch is regarded as a terrorist, and their secret leader is Pre-Vizsla, who was the governor of New Mandalorian government and Concord State (Concord).
The entanglements between these three the Mandalorian forces can be said to be intricate, with constant overt and covert struggles. As a result, among Galidrong Campaign, Jedi Order, who was deceived by Pre-Vizsla, launched a war against True Mandalorian and caused a massacre. But then New Mandalorian Duchess Satine-Kryze joined forces with all parties including Obi-Wan-Kenobi to eliminate Death Watch.
However, Pre-Vizsla has still not been exposed. He is still the governor of Concord State. On the surface, he is loyal to Satine-Kryze, and he also manages Concord State well.
Mandalore ushered in about 20 years of peace. Satine-Kryze Grand Duke worked hard and worked hard for the survival and development of Mandalore, and indeed achieved very good results. Mandalore began to gradually become prosperous, people's lives became richer, and the planet gradually emerged from war and destruction.
But then Clone Wars broke out. In order to keep Mandalore away from the war, Grand Duke Satine-Kryze once again used her outstanding talents and used the influence of Mandalore to form Neutral Alliance together with more than 1,500 surrounding planets.
Neutral Alliance refused to participate in this war, but as a member of Galactic Republic, they did not refuse to provide Galactic Republic with supplies such as food, medicine, light industrial daily necessities, etc. It just refused to provide war-related supplies.
Although Galactic Republic was very dissatisfied at the time, because the Satine-Kryze big dolls had already set an example before, Mandalore didn't even have a military industrial company on it. Therefore, Galactic Republic has nothing to say. We can't let Mandalore re-establish its own military industry system, right? Doesn't this mean actively arming the Mandalorian? So they can only acquiesce.
But it is obvious that even if Satine-Kryze wants to stay away from the war, the war will still come to them. Because of the Mandalorian's reputation as the strongest warrior in the galaxy, even though Mandalorian Crusaders has been destroyed for thousands of years, it still exists in the hearts of people in the galaxy.
Even if Satine-Kryze makes the Mandalorian put down their weapons, the fighting genes flowing in their blood will still be coveted.
When Clone Wars was at its most intense, Death Watch, who was originally thought to have been eliminated, appeared again, and Pre-Vizsla also tore off his disguise. Death Watch kidnapped Duchess Satine-Kryze and controlled the residents of Mandalore's capital Sundari through a mysterious brainwashing device.
Then Sundari launched a referendum and unilaterally declared independence from Galactic Republic.
The outside world knew nothing about what happened to Sundari, so they took this referendum seriously. Galactic Republic also immediately announced that Mandalore was a traitor and prepared to send troops to attack him.
However, Pre-Vizsla's conspiracy was foiled by Obi-Wan-Kenobi, who was wearing Hermit mask and temporarily working for Das-Malthael, and the brainwashing device was destroyed.
However, Pre-Vizsla was well prepared and escaped quickly. After Obi-Wan-Kenobi rescued Satine-Kryze, he found that she was too deeply affected by the brainwashing device and had almost become a useless person, so he abandoned Hermit mask and disappeared with Satine-Kryze.
Dawn Star Planet was also beyond the reach of Mandalore and could not influence what happened next.
After the Grand Duke Satine-Kryze disappeared, Mandalore Governor Almec announced that he would temporarily take over the position of Grand Duke and continue to rule Mandalore.
But by this time, Neutral Alliance had fallen apart. There is no way, the leader of the Neutral Alliance actually jumped out and said that he wanted to be independent. This is definitely an act of war. Those planets follow Mandalore and just don't want to participate in the war. How can they continue to join together?
And Mandalore had already been thrown into chaos by the previous independence referendum, and the internal conflicts on the planet could not be suppressed at all. Faced with the intensifying internal conflicts and Galactic Republic who was about to launch an army to hold him accountable, Prime Minister Almec neither dared to go all the way to seek help from Confederacy of Independent Systems, nor did he dare to return to Galactic Republic for fear of being punished.
After all, Galactic Republic's punishment for Mandalore was already shown by Mandalorian Excision 700 years ago - Orbital Bombardment, which exploded the planet into a white desert.
But the result of the wavering was that Mandalore fell into an embarrassing situation where he was not human inside and out.
Galactic Republic responded quickly, and Master Windu led the main fleet of the Second Systems Army to station Neutral Alliance, preparing to solve the problems of Mandalore and Neutral Alliance. Confederacy of Independent Systems also took advantage of the situation and secretly attracted supporters among the Neutral Alliance.
The competition between the two major forces makes the situation in Mandalore even more chaotic.
At this time, the mastermind behind everything - Das-Tenebrus began his real plan!
Under his instruction, Pre-Vizsla went to secretly contact Master Windu on behalf of Death Watch, indicating that Death Watch was willing to come forward to stabilize the situation of Mandalore, but the condition was that Galactic Republic recognized the legitimacy of Death Watch.
At that time, Master Windu was already preparing to become independent from Sith Lord Das-Sidious. He wanted to use Neutral Alliance as his own sphere of influence. When he was in urgent need of supporters, he agreed to Pre-Vizsla's suggestion.
So Pre-Vizsla once again made a public appearance in Mandalore. This time, he played a trump card - Satine-Kryze's sister, Bo-Katan-Kryze, who had already joined Death Watch!
After that, Death Watch launched a coup.
Almec naturally did not want to give up the power that he had finally obtained, so he and Death Watch confronted each other tit for tat. Fortunately, Death Watch, as a terrorist, is notorious in Mandalore, so although Almec is not a good person, there are indeed many people who support him.
The two sides launched a fierce competition and conflict on Mandalore. However, the intensity of this conflict is high, but it does not reach the level of a civil war. It can be regarded as a coexistence of political struggle and armed conflict.
After all, the current Pre-Vizsla has already smelled the scent of Mandalore's throne. Naturally, he is not willing to really fight a civil war and smash the Mandalore that has finally developed.
Little did they know that Master Windu's fleet did not last long and was annihilated by Sefrans-Tann. Second Systems Army's main fleet was destroyed in half. Most of the remaining warships were seriously damaged and fled back to Galactic Republic in panic.
Seeing that the situation was over, Master Windu escaped with Ji-Adi-Mundi and others and disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, Sefrans-Tann was unable to interfere with Mandalore's remaining power at this time. She also suffered heavy losses in the process of defeating Master Windu, so she retreated to the Confederacy of Independent Systems secret robot base exposed in this battle and rested near Akiva.
And Akiva later became the headquarters of Sefrans-Tann. Count Dooku also followed suit and appointed Sefrans-Tann as the governor of Akiva and the admiral of Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy. She and her small fleet were stationed here, waiting for opportunities to raid Galactic Republic's rear to support Saleucami Planet's operations.
During this period of time, Pre-Vizsla, who was secretly supported by Das-Tenebrus, finally defeated Almec. Being shrewd, he did not go to the front desk in person, but let Bo-Katan-Kryze, who was just in his early 20s at this time, serve as the Grand Duke of Mandalore, while he himself became the Prime Minister of Mandalore.
Bo-Katan-Kryze is the sister of Satine-Kryze. Kryze family is also one of the Noble House noble families that Mandalore has continued. She came to serve as the Grand Duke, which just stopped the mouths of many opponents. Moreover, Bo-Katan-Kryze was just a hot-blooded girl at this time and did not know how to manage at all. The power of Mandalore was still in the hands of Pre-Vizsla.
At this time, it was also the critical moment when Palpatine announced that Galactic Republic would be reorganized into the Galactic Empire and ascended the throne to proclaim himself emperor. Pre-Vizsla immediately announced their support for Palpatine to proclaim himself emperor. This move also successfully won Palpatine's reward, and Galactic Empire finally officially recognized Mandalore's political status quo.
Pre-Vizsla thinks he has succeeded, he has become the legitimate ruler of Mandalore!
So he began to enjoy the days of becoming the ruler of Mandalore. Internally, he implemented a high-pressure policy, spreading white terror to every corner of the planet, and punished any opponent with capital punishment. At the same time, bloody suppression and revenge were carried out against previous supporters of Almec. A large number of innocent people were imprisoned and even secretly executed.
As the leader of Death Watch, Pre-Vizsla must also respond to the needs of Death Watch—that is, military expansion and preparation for war!
Pre-Vizsla began to rebuild Mand'alor's army, and built a military factory on the planet to manufacture its own fighter jets. At the same time, Beskar steel was mined extensively and Death Watch armor was manufactured in large quantities. He also issued a decree to implement compulsory military service and established an army of millions of people!
Pre-Vizsla, who was already carried away with himself at this moment, did not know that his behavior had already attracted several cold looks.
One from the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine;
One came from Confederacy of Independent Systems, a famous general stationed at Akiva, Sefrans-Tann;
One from Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao;
However, in an unknown valley of Dathomir planet, there is another person who also looks at Mandalore on the star map with cold eyes.
Das-Tenebrus's other apprentice, Shen-Qiaoen!
Pre-Vizsla believes that Darth-Tenebrus chose him as an agent to rule Mandalore. After all, given Mandalore's complicated situation, the best way is indeed to let the Mandalorian rule the Mandalorian himself. On this point, no matter Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire or Duchy of Dawn, the attitudes of all aspects are the same.
However, he did not realize that, did Das-Tenebrus really think so?
Pre-Vizsla didn't know that Darth-Tenebrus was dead, and Shen-Qiaoen had inherited his legacy and the huge conspiracy layout. If he knew, maybe he wouldn't be so arrogant.
But before all this exploded, Pre-Vizsla was still on the throne of Mandalore, sitting very comfortably.
One year after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the first Endless-class Super Carrier and Infinity entered active service and were assigned to the small fleet of Akiva Sefrans-Tann, becoming the new flagship of Tann.
But Sefrans-Tann were not in a hurry to attack Mandalore. After all, Galactic Empire was still attacking Saleucami Planet at that time. The fleets of and Tann must also be dispatched from time to time to harass Galactic Empire's rear and contain Imperial fleet so that they cannot attack with all their strength.
Saleucami Planet's step-by-step defensive battle cannot actually bring out the artistic commanding ability of Sefrans-Tann. There are General Grievous and General Trench, but they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
And the continuous harassment raids behind the Galactic Empire are what Sefrans-Tann is good at!
Jango-Fett who have been strengthened by Spartan Program and 20 other real Mandalorian warriors, plus Master Chief John 117 After arriving at Akiva and joining Sefrans-Tann, General Tann began to plan for Mandalore.
After many discussions with Jango-Fett, Sefrans-Tann also confirmed that in order to defeat Pre-Vizsla on Mandalore, this absolutely cannot be solved simply by force.
The power of the people on Mandalore must be fully mobilized!
Death Watch is still unpopular in Mandalore. Only by fully mobilizing the people can Pre-Vizsla be completely overthrown!
At this time, Sefrans-Tann also received a secret instruction from Tang Xiao: protect Bo-Katan-Kryze!
