459, 28BBY
And also in this year, the war between Tatooine also became more intense.
After Hutt Jabba obtained 80 T-24 airspeed machines from Yuri-Orlov, he suddenly launched a counterattack, relying on the T-24 airspeed machines The super high speed annihilated Calamity Legion in one fell swoop. The convoy composed of Pathfinder-class light assault vehicle, one of the leaders of the Calamity Legion, Bosa Broderick-Shale were killed in the battle.
His replacement was his younger brother Magtan-Scar.
Scar was originally cruel by nature, but became even more violent after his brother was killed. On that day, he sent 10 Banshee Fighters to bomb a village outside Mos Eisley City to the ground, killing and injuring more than 200 civilians. He then moved to the depths of the desert with Gaddula Land Carrier.
Jabba sent the team of T-24 airspeeders in hot pursuit. The two sides fought for three days. Land Carrier also suffered a lot of damage, and finally managed to sneak into the sandstorm and escape Jabba's pursuit.
Later, Tang Xiao also discovered that Jabba's offensive became more fierce after receiving support from Yuri-Orlov. Yuri-Orlov now has a very extensive relationship with Corellian system and can get more weapons. Of course, he also resold some weapons from Fourth Group. Although situations like this left-handed versus right-handed situation often occur, in general he still made a lot of money.
Later, after Tang Xiao talked with Hutt Alok-Besadi, it was determined that Alok would come forward and hire Titan Security Company to participate in the war.
Soon, Ironfang Hammerhead-class cruiser, spray-painted with the Titan Security Company mark, came to Tatooine with five CR-70 frigates, and the war further escalated.
More than half a year has passed. For Fourth Civilization, apart from paying attention to the proxy war of Tatooine, everything else is peaceful. But preparations for war have not stopped.
For Galactic Republic, it means a major event - the election!
The term of the current Speaker Sheev-Palpatine will expire this year, so the election work has officially begun. As always, various congressmen are also taking part in activities, hoping to seek more benefits in the election.
Palpatine treats every member of Parliament who supports him humbly, and cautiously contacts various political factions. His low profile has won him many votes. Many people believe that if Palpatine becomes the speaker, their political views will be better implemented, so they all stand with Palpatine.
This was the situation at the end of Galactic Republic. The Speaker was known as the most powerful person in the entire galaxy, but in fact, it was often just a battlefield for the forces behind him to compete.
Of course, no one in the entire galaxy will know that the election that took place on 28 BBY will be the last of more than 7,000 elections in Galactic Republic's 25,000-year history.
Palpatine won re-election. He made everyone think that they had an opportunity to take advantage of him, but he cleverly stayed out of the matter and allowed these people to fight openly and secretly, but he continued to use this to accumulate strength.
After being re-elected, Palpatine finally gradually showed his fangs.
First of all, Outer Rim Exploration Program, which is supported by Vice Chancellor Mas-Amedda, was exposed to a large number of scandals, including corruption, bribery, coercion, and inducement. All the incidents were pointed at Vice Chancellor.
Mas-Amedda, who had no master of six gods, welcomed a guest in a black robe that night. This guest claimed to be Sith Lord Das-Sidious, and he forced Mas-Amedda to surrender.
And when Sidious lifted his hood to reveal his true appearance, Mas-Amedda were surprised to find that this terrifying Sith Lord was actually the Speaker Sheev-Palpatine! He finally knelt at Sidious's feet and swore to become Sith Lord's loyal slave.
At the same time, Das-Malthael did not stop his activities.
InterGalactic Banking Clan's co-chairman San Hill also welcomed a guest wearing a black robe. After seeing the power of Das-Malthael, San Hill was already terrified and did not dare to disobey in any way.
Das-Malthael did not embarrass him, he just took out a memory.
Thorn-Hill opened the holographic projection of the memory, and a ferocious battleship was projected on it!
The shape of this battleship is somewhat similar to that of Hammerhead-class cruiser, but the hammer-shaped bow of Hammerhead-class cruiser is vertical up and down, while the hammer-shaped bow of this battleship is flat on the left and right. And there is no doubt that this battleship is much larger than Hammerhead-class cruiser!
"This battleship..." Sancil was shocked, and at the same time he was overjoyed.
InterGalactic Banking Clan has always hoped to get a large battleship that can replace Munificent-class communications frigate, but due to the limitations of Galactic Republic, they have never been able to do so.
"This is the weapon that can help us defeat Galactic Republic and eliminate Darth-Sidious - Behemoth-class battlecruiser (Behemoth-class battlecruiser)." Darth-Malthael said lightly.
"Darth-Sidious... where is he lurking in Galactic Republic?" San-Hir asked.
"Now you are not ready to know the answer. For now, we and Darth-Sidious have the same goal. He wants to divide Galactic Republic, and so do we. But the next step is the key - he wants to be the leader in the civil war. He will destroy all the corporate giants including you and Trade Federation, thereby gaining huge wealth and establishing an empire, but we... will use this war to completely defeat him!" Das-Malthael said.
"Galactic Republic..." Sang-Hir's expression became ferocious.
"Give Tang Xiao the blueprint of this battleship. He will know what to do next. Moreover, he will also take you to see the greatest legacy left by our common predecessors, Hego-Damask II! Remember... war... is imminent..." Darth-Malthael said, his body dispersed like black mist, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Sang-Hir looked at the holographic projection in front of him with eager eyes, "Behemoth-class battlecruiser... great!"
Because of the alliance between the two parties, Thorn Hill also knew that Trade Federation was also developing a new type of kilometer-class battlecruiser, Hiigaran-class, which made him very envious. However, Newt Gunray had always refused to say anything about the construction status of Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, which made him very frustrated.
But now, the blueprint of this battleship, which is definitely far stronger than Hiigaran-class battlecruiser according to the statistics, is in his hands, how can he not be excited.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed the communicator and connected to the frequency of Tang Xiao.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I think I have obtained a powerful weapon and want to share it with you." Thornhill said calmly.
"I think we have all received instructions from Darth-Lord Malthael. The war is getting closer and closer. I have also received permission to take you to see the legacy left by our mentor, Hego-Damask II." Tang Xiao said in his own voice while quickly taking off his black robe.
"You... just got up?" Sang-Hir was a little strange.
"The air conditioner of the spacecraft is broken and I'm very hot." Tang Xiao lied without expression. "Teacher Heige left behind a great project, and I was fortunate enough to participate in it. It just so happens that the results of this project have just been completed. Come to Dawn Star Planet and come find me, and I will show it to you."
