2436. Battle Situation (Part 1)
Now that the war between Northern Territory and Fondor Planet has stopped, General Grievous does not dare to carry out too radical activities. Because at this time Galactic Empire has more mobile forces invested in Eastern Territory, there is no need for him to get into trouble with the Galactic Empire at this time.
In fact, in terms of Eastern Territory, General Grievous is just a military consultant. The one who is really fighting Eastern Territory's war is actually Hutt. To be precise, it is Goresla Family.
Hutt After Oruba-Goresla announced the establishment of a unified Hutt regime and took over as Hutt Grand Leader himself, Hutt Space's political situation has been in turmoil.
He rebuilt the Grand Hutt Council and reorganized it into Elder Council, which was also composed of five people, representing the five major families. But this Elder Council will only have the right to make suggestions and not have the right to make decisions. The decision-making power is still in the hands of the Goresla Family.
However, among the five major families, Besadi kajidic and Desilijic kajidic, led by Gaddula-Besadi and Ziro-Desilijic supported by him, have long since dispersed, and now they are just two empty shells bearing the names of legendary families.
There are two families left, one is the Kunnarac family, headed by Marlo-Kunnarac, and the other is Anjiliac family, headed by Zieta-Anjiliac. After the decline of Besadi and Desilijic kajidic, these two families expanded rapidly and have now become the most powerful family after the Goresla Family, who was in power.
In other words, the current Hutt Space is actually a situation where Big Three coexists.
In order to become Grand Leader, Oruba-Goresla actually made a lot of political compromises. While getting the support of the Kunnarac family and Anjiliac family, it also made these two families unable to lose their power and restricted many issues.
For example, regarding the issue of war against the Galactic Empire, Marlo and Zieta firmly opposed it. How determined? Marlo even publicly declared that if Oruba-Goresla dared to control Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic, form a three-to-two majority in Elder Council, and force the issue of war, then the Kunnarac family would immediately withdraw from Elder Council.
Zieta also said that regarding the two puppet families, just pretend to be a show-off in normal times, but don't play with it now on the key issue of starting a war. Our three major families can just settle things among themselves.
Because in fact, among the three major families, Kunnarac is actually a very traditional gangster family. Their family businesses include Spice Smuggling, slave trade, illegal mining, etc., but they do not have any industrial system and have no interest in war.
The same is true for Anjiliac family. They run Black Harbor, and they also do things like loan sharking, gambling, smuggling, assassinations, kidnappings, and underground intelligence networks. They also have nothing to do with war.
In fact, let alone them, among the entire Hutt family in Hutt Space, only Goresla Family has a certain industrial foundation. After all, they embraced Kingdom of Dawn's lap and developed rapidly. One of the ways they make a fortune is to build their own pirate and plunder fleet and forcibly expand their smuggling business everywhere. Therefore, their basic base is closely related to industry, so Goresla Family is able to support a large number of pirate and plundering fleets.
This allowed Goresla Family to stand up and quickly take control of the situation with a powerful fleet when both Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic were hurt, but at the same time, it also made them incompatible with the other families of Hutt.
Therefore, Oruba-Goresla can never get more support from Hutt Space.
It's right to think about it. After all, Hutt has been engaged in underground crime for tens of thousands of years, and they have been living a pretty good life with Galactic Republic's connivance. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one dares to catch you if you commit a crime. Why not just be a local emperor here?
The civil war between Desilijic kajidic and Besadi kajidic also showed all Hutt the consequences of intervening in external affairs - that is, countless wealth was spent and countless lives were spent, but in the end nothing was gained. With this money, why not buy more slaves and enjoy them more.
So now, when it comes to going to war with the Galactic Empire, no matter how many benefits Oruba-Goresla tell them, they just don't listen. No one is willing to accompany Goresla Family to join in this war that Hutt is not good at at all!
Therefore, although Oruba-Goresla forcibly joined the war, in order to give Hutt an internal explanation, he also proposed the name of the volunteer army. Under the banner of protecting Hutt's commercial interests, he pieced together a fleet and handed it over to General Grievous.
This is the reason why although General Grievous has the support of Oruba-Goresla, in the end he can only fight guerrilla warfare with the Galactic Empire's Twelfth Army everywhere - because the only one who supports him in fighting is Goresla Family.
The last one is Northeastern sector of the galaxy.
During the Clone Wars period, this area was completely on the fringes of war. It had no strategic or economic value, let alone political significance.
But in fact, if we move the time forward four thousand years, this area can be said to be the most terrifying red area in the galaxy.
Among them, there are three names that can be called nightmares - Dathomir planet, Planet Korriban, and... Mandalore!
Here are the two biggest enemies of Galactic Republic - the birthplace of Mandalorian Crusaders and Sith Empire and Core Worlds. They are also the terrible enemies that Galactic Republic spent tens of thousands of years to finally defeat.
Now, this area has become a place that both warring parties avoid, but cherish. This area is now collectively known as Mandalore star sector.
Mandalore star sector is a broad concept and does not have any political, economic or cultural significance. It is just a name used by the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn for convenience.
Now Mandalore star sector has fallen into complete chaos. The thousands of races and galaxies here all refuse to obey any instructions from the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn. All they want is autonomy.
But forget about autonomy. Whenever there is a problem, these planets will always jump out and ask Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn for assistance. If they do not provide assistance, they will declare that they will join the other side.
In addition, interstellar pirates are extremely rampant here, and hyperspace channels are very complicated. What is most concerning is that Mandalore ended the previous division and declared autonomy!
