2149. Rebel Alliance's actions
In fact, when Galactic Empire takes action against Trade Federation, the one who gains the most is naturally Rebel Alliance.
Trade Federation blocked a large number of hyperspace channels leading to Outer Rim Territories, which plunged Galactic Empire's rule in Outer Rim Territories into chaos. As mentioned before, at least one-fifth of Outer Rim is unreachable.
Although Galactic Empire responded immediately and sent a large number of exploration teams, navigators and hyperspace experts to try to rebuild the channel, this still required time and resources. In the meantime, these Outer Rim are completely out of control.
And Rebel Alliance does intend to seize this window period. In addition to planning in Ryloth according to the original plan and controlling the jurisdiction of the Galactic Empire 14th Army, they also began to launch uprisings on planets where the Empire's power has weakened.
The reason why Rebel Alliance acted so quickly was actually because Trade Federation handed over Outer Rim Territories's data to Duchy of Dawn, and then Duchy of Dawn handed it over to the Rebel Alliance through its own channels. And Trade Federation also very professionally marked in these navigation data which channels are unknown to the Galactic Empire - this is easy to identify. All channels unknown to the Galactic Empire, when the spacecraft of the Empire passes through, it is necessary to rent the navigation service of Trade Federation.
Therefore, while Galactic Empire invested almost all its efforts in preparing to eradicate Trade Federation in one fell swoop, Rebel Alliance was also developing rapidly with Outer Rim Territories.
At this moment, in Outer Rim of the galaxy, Columex (Columex), a huge office building towering into the sky.
A beautiful, smart and capable woman wearing smart official clothes and a monocle was sitting at her desk, looking at the documents in front of her.
"Leader, this is the latest information about Trade Federation." A man also dressed as a clerk came over and said very politely.
This official OL is the current leader of the Rebel Alliance in the galaxy - Padmé-Amidala!
She changed her appearance, clothing style, and even her height and body shape with the help of Nanobots, so that no one could recognize her at all.
What's more, the Intelligence Department door of the Galactic Empire never expected that the leader of the Rebel Alliance would be active in Columex, the transportation hub of Eastern Outer Rim Outer Rim Territories.
Columex is an important hub of the Milky Way's most important hyperspace channel - Perlemian Trade Route (Perlemian trade route). This is also a planet whose main business is trade and import and export transit, and its economy is very developed.
In the early days of Clone Wars, Galactic Republic failed in the battle of Ren-Val planet (the battle of Dark Reaper), which resulted in the loss of Eastern Territory's strategic initiative. Columex did not dare to resist Confederacy of Independent Systems, who was in full strength, and surrendered directly.
When Galactic Republic launched a counterattack and surrounded Saleucami Planet, Columex responded very quickly and turned around and submitted a surrender request to Galactic Republic.
This caused the planet to suffer very little war damage. Even after the Galactic Empire was established, they treated Columex as a trustworthy planet and established a large intelligence station and space port here. Galactic Empire's plan is to radiate its influence through Columex to the core control area of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
And now, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, Padmé-Amidala, actually appeared in Columex, and even registered a company!
This made the Imperial Intelligence Department gate, which had repeatedly searched for this unknown Rebel Alliance leader at the Duchy of Dawn border and near the twelve administrative core planets before Confederacy of Independent Systems, completely unexpected.
Because the current Imperial Intelligence Department does know that there is Rebel Alliance's internal support in the noble and wealthy families of Imperial Senate and Core Worlds, but for the leader of the Rebel Alliance, they wholeheartedly believe that this leader comes from the former Confederacy of Independent Systems. And they also believe that because of this relationship, Duchy of Dawn is probably also supporting Rebel Alliance behind the scenes.
"... Some arms dealers began to transport large quantities of weapons to several core planets of Trade Federation. Galactic Empire is tracing..." Padmé-Amidala picked up this unremarkable document. It clearly stated the company's financial statement for this quarter, but what she read was something else.
She adjusted her monocle, and the chip built into it decoded the document and re-projected it onto her pupils, displaying the true encrypted content.
"Are these arms dealers crazy about money? Everyone knows that at this time Trade Federation is like a red-hot iron block and cannot be touched at all." Padmé-Amidala frowned, "But this is a good thing for us. With the support of those arms dealers, Galactic Empire can only invest more power in Trade Federation, and our uprising movement will be smoother."
"So, can we start on Columex now?" Rebel Alliance said excitedly.
Padmé-Amidala nodded and said, "Although this is very risky, we can only do this now. The planet's Senator Simon Goksheed Greyshade is actually my old friend in Galactic Republic Senate. If I go out to persuade him, he should agree to the uprising. But this person is not trustworthy at all. He may betray us for profit at any time, so we still need to control him by obtaining evidence of his corruption."
"It has been arranged." Rebel Alliance said, "Simon is willing to hand over the power of Columex, and then retire and go home to run the casino. But the question now is when to act."
"Just now. I will send Simon a message first, which will contain some things that happened in Republic Senate. This will make him suspicious. He can neither be sure whether the message is from me, nor can he really target me." Padmé-Amidala said, "We must cut off the contact between the Galactic Empire and Columex."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After this Rebel Alliance left, Padmé-Amidala took off his monocle, rubbed his somewhat raw eyes, sighed to the side and said, "This time, we really need to acknowledge Duchy of Dawn. Without their actions, Columex would not have been so smooth."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." A figure appeared in the shadows at some point, and she said slowly, "Even if we cannot truly form an alliance with Duchy of Dawn, as long as we reach a certain tacit understanding in fighting Galactic Empire, that will be enough."
Padmé-Amidala said, "That's what I'm worried about. Too much involvement with Duchy of Dawn will change our internal nature. Shake-Ti Da Teacher, I have always refused to have more contact with Duchy of Dawn, although if I really do so, Rebel Alliance will develop better, but this is what I must stop."
The person in the shadow is Shakti!!
"I understand your concerns, leader." Shake Ti also called Padmé as leader, "This matter is indeed the responsibility that we, New Jedi Order, need to bear."
She paused and sighed, "Relics on Osus Planet is crucial to the Jedi academy. We have already rebuilt Jedi Order there. But if Columex has been mastered in In the hands of the Galactic Empire, they will be able to pose a direct threat to Osus Planet at any time... The new Jedi Order cannot bear such pressure. We are deeply grateful for the help you provided to us against the purpose of the Rebel Alliance."
Padmé-Amidala smiled and said, "Please don't show off like this, Master Shake-Ti. I can never forget everything Jedi Order has done to protect this galaxy. I I am more gratified than anyone to see that Jedi Order can be rebuilt. When our business is successful, we can also restore the order of Galactic Republic and Jedi Order."
"This is a very difficult road, but my partners at New Jedi Order and I firmly believe that this day will eventually come." Shakti said firmly, "Jedi Order will be rebuilt, Galactic Republic will be rebuilt, and we will definitely defeat Galactic Empire, defeat Palpatine, and return to Coruscant."
Padmé-Amidala nodded, "This time Columex's uprising is also up to you. Monitor Simon Goksheed to ensure the success of the uprising. Let New Jedi Order grow better in Osus Planet."
"I will complete all our tasks. At the same time, on behalf of the thousands of young disciples on Osus Planet, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you again. May the Force be with you, leader." Shakti bowed in the shadows, and then gradually disappeared.
Southern Galaxy, Mid Rim Territories.
A dazzling white light flashed past, and a Revenge-class destroyer produced by Duchy of Dawn broke away from the hyperspace channel and appeared near a planet.
The armor belt of this Revenge-class destroyer was in tatters. It was obvious that it had encountered a very fierce battle before coming here.
"Great Master, according to your order, we have forcibly interrupted the hyperspace voyage. However, the hyperspace engine has been damaged and needs to be inspected before it can be used again." On the spacecraft console, the navigator turned around and said respectfully to the man standing in the middle of the bridge.
In the center of the bridge, stood a four-meter-tall Protoss wearing heavy black armor. Blood-red flames were always burning around his body, majestic and terrifying.
He is surprisingly the Protoss prisoner who escaped from Glory mothership before - Olegar!
A Dark Templar came to Olegar and said in a deep voice, "My lord, this planet is a little weird."
"What did you feel?" Olegar asked.
"I feel that this planet seems to have a very deep connection with the void. I can't imagine what it would be like to escape into the void with the planet as a unit. But this planet..." Dark Templar's tone was full of fear.
Olegar floated to the porthole, looked at the yellow and green planet in front of him, and said, "My Psionics was polluted by the woman on the mothership with unknown energy. That energy is so evil that it can even turn people into powerful monsters. Now I must find a place to clean up this pollution, otherwise, we will not be able to proceed with the next step of integration."
Dark Templar saluted very piously and said, "No existence can stop your steps, my Lord. We deeply long to merge with you and become the incarnation of God."
Olegar looked at the planet in front of him and said, "Launch a detector and scan the surface of the planet. Then draw the energy spectrum of the planet. I want to know where this planet is connected to the void."
However, the operator at the console scratched his head and said, "But master, this planet is heavily guarded. Launching a detector rashly might anger the planet's defenders, right?"
People controlled by Protoss all retain their own minds and consciousness completely. Except that they believe that they must be loyal to the controller, they are no different from normal people. Therefore, after receiving this order from Olegar, the operator put forward his own opinions.
Yet Olegar frowned, if he had one.
"What did you see?" he asked.
"Defenders, there are dozens of warships and an armed space station," the operator said.
The navigator also said, "According to the navigation data, this planet is... the station of Galactic Empire's 114th Escort Fleet... It mainly performs the task of destroying nearby pirates... I think it is not good for us to provoke them. Let's send an asylum request."
"What's the name of this planet?" Olegar asked.
"Uh... called, Haruun Kal (Haruun Kal), master." The navigator replied.
"My lord, we also saw the defenders. However, these defenders felt very strange." Another Dark Templar also said.
"There are no defenders." Olegar said coldly, "Launch the detector. Prepare the shuttle. I'm going to check it out myself."
"Yes." The operator nodded and pressed the button to launch the detector.
"Is it an illusion? My Lord." Dark Templar asked.
Olegar shook his head and said, "Yes and no. This is an extremely powerful spiritual barrier that covers almost all areas around the planet. People who come into contact with this spiritual barrier will have hallucinations. I can't imagine what kind of existence can create such a powerful spiritual barrier, but according to my judgment, this is probably the planet itself."
"If this is the case, then the planet may be very dangerous." Dark Templar said.
"But maybe there are different void rules in this universe hidden here. If I can get this power, I will be invincible in this galaxy!" Olegar said with greed in his tone.
