2033. Emergency!

Chalseden Planet, Colony Seven.

A burning Firecloud swept across the sky, and then a dark behemoth broke through the clouds and appeared over the colony.

It has a sharp triangular shape, a slightly flat hull, and Group One opening and closing armored hatches on both sides. On the towering bridge, a Fire Control Radar that is tens of meters long stretches forward.

Immediately afterwards, the retractable armored hatches on both sides opened, and hundreds of Vulture droid fighter flew out from inside and began to circle at low altitude around the colony.

This is a Victory II-class Star Destroyer! And underneath Star Destroyer, a red and white umbrella logo is spray-painted.

There is no doubt... this is a battleship belonging to Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group!

Victory I-class Star Destroyer and Victory II-class Star Destroyer produced by Rendili StarDrive, along with their participation in the Duchy of Dawn camp, are now also added to the Duchy of Dawn Navy lineup. However, although Duchy of Dawn Navy has ordered these two types of Star Destroyer, after all, they have a lot of warships to choose from, so the order from the navy cannot satisfy the huge production of Rendili StarDrive.

Before Rendili's interstellar shipyard began to transform and produce other Duchy of Dawn main battleships, such as Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser and Divinity-class battleship, Victory-class Star Destroyer, with its mature production technology and excellent performance, shined brightly in other fields.

These are the Planet Defense Fleet, escort fleet and patrol fleet.

Prior to this, the warships of these second-tier fleets were mainly old and retired warships from the navy, such as Revelation-class light cruiser, Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, etc. It's just that these warships have been discontinued after all. As Duchy of Dawn's sphere of influence grows, these old warships are no longer enough.

At this time, Victory-class Star Destroyer, which had a huge inventory, became a very popular warship, and it was paid and delivered without delay. The overall performance of this Star Destroyer is very good. It can be said to be a hexagonal warrior. Often there is one Victory-class Star Destroyer in a convoy fleet, and it can meet the needs of most characters when paired with several auxiliary ships.

Therefore, now, whether it is the private fleets of major companies or their escort fleets, Victory-class Star Destroyer has begun to appear in large numbers.

However, there are very few companies that can directly purchase Victory II-class Star Destroyer in one step. After all, the market price of the small Star Destroyer and Victory II-class, which are both 900-meter-class, is more than three times that of the I-class.

Of course, in fact, for Rendili StarDrive, Victory II-class uses more mature technologies, so the actual cost is lower than level I. It's just that they don't have much inventory of Victory II-class. Many of them are a large number of Victory I-class built crazily due to lack of security before the previous Stargate was completed.

And the arrival of Victory II-class Star Destroyer on Chalseden Planet actually represents absolute force and absolute control!

Looking at the huge Star Destroyer in the sky, the people in Colony Seven were so silent that they didn't even dare to breathe. A few years ago, when Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group suddenly came here to establish a base, he had the same style of painting.

When Star Destroyer came, those slave traders who usually showed off their power suddenly turned into obedient babies. With one word from Umbrella, they all fell down. Then with another word, they immediately changed careers and went around to collect materials for human experiments specifically for Umbrella.

On the bridge of this Victory II-class Star Destroyer, the nominal supreme director of Umbrella (Veronica) Alfred-Ashford said loudly, "Even if you turn Chalseden Planet over, I still have to find that adapter!! You bunch of wimps! Why can such a large army be stationed in a spaceport and be raided by others! Waste!!"

Those Commanders at all levels of U. B. S. C nodded and bowed, and quickly sent out all their troops to conduct a thorough investigation inside the Colony Seven city under the cover of Vulture droid fighter.

So far, he still has not been able to find the adapter that was secretly taken away by the Rebel Alliance. If the adapter cannot be found in time, this will inevitably affect the 'ant colony' plan recently developed by Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group for the military plan.

Alfred didn't know the contents of the so-called 'Operation Zero', but he knew that this plan was no small matter. Almost all the power of Duchy of Dawn is used, so there must be no mistakes.

If Ant Colony Plan cannot be completed on time, then Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group will definitely be at the forefront, and Alfred's plan to propose to Sherry-Birkin will undoubtedly be shelved.

This kind of thing absolutely cannot be allowed!

A large number of U. B. C. S mercenaries wearing black combat uniforms and gas masks were constantly searching the surroundings. They had no scruples. Even if they rushed directly into the houses and destroyed the doors, they would still go in and search to ensure that every corner was searched so that the girl Cerean had nowhere to escape.

"Report to me!! Where is the adapter!!??" Alfred-Ashford grabbed a U. B. C. S Commander by the collar and roared loudly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alfred... We searched the entire Colony Seven and found nothing." Commander answered nervously, lowering his head.

Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group can now be said to be in full swing within Duchy of Dawn. Even though all their armed forces Commander must be directly dispatched by the military and directly take orders from the military, their overwhelming power and wealth still make those Commander directly dispatched by the military bow to their knees.

Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group currently cooperates with the military on at least fifty projects. Under such a complicated relationship, many junior officers have chosen to succumb.

"Then expand the search scope to the entire planet!" Alfred-Ashford said loudly, "Check it for me! Since you can be sure that the adapter has not left the planet, then find it for me!"

"Yes!"

More Vulture droid fighter took off and began to expand the patrol area to several surrounding colonies. First-line fighters such as Viking fighter and Saber fighter will basically not attack second-tier fleets and private fleets of companies, but Wraith fighter has now become the best-selling product on the black market in the galaxy. However, among the export versions, Wraith fighter does not have the invisible function.

But the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group and Wraith fighter formations are all equipped with stealth systems. However, this power cannot be commanded by Alfred-Ashford. All he can do is to hide the information as much as possible and prevent his sister from getting involved.

Therefore, the air force formations carried by Alfred are all Vulture droid fighter that were mass-produced during Clone Wars.

At least when facing those Rebel Alliance, hordes of Vulture droid fighter are still invincible!

Looking at Vulture fighter whizzing by in the sky and Star Destroyer hovering overhead, Jedi Knight Demi's expression was extremely solemn.

That Cerean girl, the person that Umbrella Corporation went to such great lengths to arrest, was indeed not able to be sent away.

There was no way, Cerean's high forehead was too obvious, and Umbrella Corporation's reaction was faster than he expected. Not only that, he could also feel several Chaos rough the Force constantly sweeping around.

Ghost Agent!

Duchy of Dawn is a terrifying force! It is also their biggest and most terrifying enemy in the Rebel Alliance and within the Duchy of Dawn. Almost every appearance of Ghost Agent will be accompanied by heavy casualties among gay comrades, so the rebuilt New Jedi Order will also send Jedi Knight to cooperate with the actions of the Rebel Alliance.

But this time, Ghost Agent, it came too fast.

It should be said that this entire incident was actually an emergency for both Rebel Alliance and Umbrella Corporation.

Rebel Alliance is actually not particularly active on within the Duchy of Dawn, because Rebel Alliance is still based on those planets where uprisings occurred. In recent years, due to the Galactic Empire's crazy militarism, on the one hand to deal with the protracted war with Confederacy of Independent Systems, and on the other hand to deal with the potential enemy Duchy of Dawn, Galactic Empire has almost adopted a predatory method to obtain resources within the country.

Galactic Empire also has its own difficulties, after all, what they inherited from Galactic Republic is a complete mess. Core Worlds's noble and wealthy people are extravagant and want nothing to do with paying taxes. Officials at all levels in the country are corrupt and have nothing to do with their lives. Powerful enemies around them are eyeing them. Their only way is to use absolute force to suppress them.

And where does absolute force come from? That is constant plunder and expansion, internally dividing the power of Core Worlds wealthy nobles, and externally increasing the oppression of those weak and poor planets. Of course, during the implementation process, the former is almost impossible to implement, because most of the top leaders of the Empire come from those wealthy families, so the most miserable ones are the originally poor and weak planets within the Galactic Empire.

Under the high pressure of the Empire, people's uprisings on those planets continued one after another. Even if Galactic Empire carried out countless massacres under the leadership of Dath-Vader, they still could not extinguish the flames of resistance.

However, Duchy of Dawn cannot be completely alone.

The domestic policy of Duchy of Dawn is actually much more relaxed than that of the Galactic Empire, because their stall is small enough and not bad. Under such circumstances, they can still maintain a good balance.

To put it simply, the total domestic population of Duchy of Dawn is currently about 800 billion, which is less than the population of Coruscant, and 600 billion of them are from Rendili Planet. For an administrative agency that operates thousands of livable planets, it is more than enough to meet the needs of a population of 800 billion. The biggest challenge is actually infrastructure construction.

Infrastructure construction, in turn, can be left to the people themselves, providing work-for-relief.

Therefore, in the Principality of Liming, basically all the people can find jobs. If they have a job, they will have money. If they have money, they will have food. If they have something to eat, the people will not rebel. Compared to the population of at least hundreds of billions in the Galactic Empire, the Galactic Empire can neither support them nor provide jobs for those people, so it can only let them go their own way. It would be strange if this continues without chaos.

Therefore, in within the Duchy of Dawn and Rebel Alliance, there are actually two aspects. The first aspect is out of philosophy. No matter what Duchy of Dawn says, it still has a high-pressure policy towards the country, which suppresses those planets so hard that they are almost breathless, so Xu Draon Planet hopes for autonomy. Especially after the immigrants of Rendili Planet came over, the call for autonomy almost never stopped.

On the other hand, it was affected by the Galactic Empire. People all over the galaxy now generally believe that the reason why the oppression over Galactic Empire is so cruel is actually because of the existence of Duchy of Dawn. It is precisely because the two sides are competing for hegemony that both sides are on the track of war, which has resulted in so much exploitation and oppression.

So what is shown is that the uprisings over Galactic Empire are coming one after another, and the number is almost explosive. Therefore, there is almost no organization, and most of them fight on their own. Rebel Alliance over there is of course organized, but there are relatively few places where the organization can direct. The uprising of within the Duchy of Dawn was much more purposeful and organized. Of course, the scale and frequency were much smaller.

For this time, it was the organization of the Rebel Alliance that realized that Umbrella Corporation secretly kidnapped civilians for human experiments in Cerea, and they were also carrying out unknown secret plans on Cerea. Therefore, in order to combat Duchy of Dawn and Umbrella Corporation, and to save the people of Cerea, Umbrella Corporation's conspiracy was made public, and Rebel Alliance began to act.

However, Cerea has a single race and a sparse population, which is not conducive to their penetration, so Rebel Alliance began to work from surrounding planets. They heard that there was a suspected virus leak in Chalseden Planet, and it was Cerean who leaked the virus, so they sent their own operators to investigate.

It turned out that there was a virus immune body inside Cerean that leaked the virus, and it actually ran out of Core Worlds where the virus broke out unharmed!

So Rebel Alliance's idea at that time was to rescue this Cerean immune body and ask her to cooperate in research to develop a vaccine against the Umbrella Corporation virus. As a result, during the operation, they found that Umbrella Corporation moved very quickly and had a very large reaction, so they also felt that this immune body might have greater significance.

So Rebel Alliance sent additional operators here, and Jedi Knight Demi from New Jedi Order came here.

Once Jedi Knight takes action, everything goes smoothly, and the girl with Cerean immunity is successfully rescued. But when they were preparing to evacuate the planet, they encountered a problem - Ghost Agent had already arrived!

The result was that Oliver and others successfully sneaked into the cargo ship and ran out, but Demi couldn't leave with the girl.
