463, 27BBY

Another year has passed, and the Milky Way has entered 27BBY.

During this year, Galactic Republic, the current Speaker Sheev-Palpatine, showed his fangs. He first used Outer Rim Exploration Program to find Vice Chancellor Mas-Amedda's handle, and then using his identity as Das-Sidious to make Vice Chancellor completely surrender.

Next, with the support of Mas-Amedda, Sheev-Palpatine went out to clean up all the political groups that wanted to use him during his first term.

This can only be said to be the retribution of the cycle of heaven. These political groups thought that Palpatine was weak and could be bullied, so they used him to seek a lot of personal gain. However, now, everyone who has done this has fallen into the clutches of Palpatine. Either they became political puppets of Palpatine, or they were beaten by Palpatine using these handles to the point where they would never be reincarnated, or even imprisoned.

This series of methods made Palpatine's power among Galactic Senate more and more powerful. Those politicians were surprised to find that Palpatine, who was as docile as a kitten a year ago, had inadvertently grown into a terrifying political giant. He could even influence the decisions of the parliament with every move.

Sadly, these victims don't realize that Palpatine doesn't just want them to be ordinary victims. For a politician like Palpatine, every action he takes must have a clear purpose and involve many different purposes.

It is foolish for Palpatine to clean up someone just to clean up another person.

The dirty things that these political factions had done before were all exposed by Palpatine through various channels. They immediately became corrupt officials and Galactic Republic moths in the eyes of the people and officials, and even more serious - they were labeled as Separatists who poached Galactic Republic!

The things they did caused extremely bad effects, but Palpatine had no intention of helping them clean up the mess. They were just busy passing the blame and placing all the blame on these people.

This has led to a further deterioration of the political environment in Galactic Republic, and the credibility of the government has dropped to a very dangerous situation. And because of Palpatine's approach of wooing Inner Rim and Core Worlds and suppressing Outer Rim planets, the ultimate victims of these things are Outer Rim planets.

But no one thinks that this is Palpatine's fault, it's the fault of those corrupt officials! And Palpatine, who brought these officials to justice, was packaged as Galactic Republic, a hero who bravely stood up to fight against corruption and evil forces in the dark times!

On the other side, Dawn Star Planet members Francis-Underwood are also constantly active. This time, facing the almost irresistible trend of Palpatine, he immediately changed his strategy and transformed himself from a Outer Rim planets vanguard who opposed Palpatine to a supporter of the fight against corruption.

He constantly accuses officials in parliament who have caused losses to Outer Rim planets due to corruption, constantly exposes the political puppets that Palpatine is trying to protect, and exposes more darkness.

Now he has given up his stance of confronting Palpatine and started to fight against those corrupt evil forces. In this way, he will follow the general trend of Palpatine and prevent Palpatine from targeting him. On the contrary, because of Francis's revelation, Palpatine had to deal with some officials whom he originally planned to protect and control. This made Palpatine feel troubled, and more than once he wanted to turn over the table and kill Francis directly.

Even in this chaotic year, Outer Rim Exploration Program still started as scheduled.

Jedi Master Jolus Serbaos organized 6 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser ships loaded with 50,000 immigrants, and set off towards Unknown Regions under the leadership of 6 Jedi Master.

Although Palpatine took advantage of the corruption in this Outer Rim Exploration Program to push Vice Chancellor Mas-Amedda to the edge, it did not completely terminate the project.

Because Jolus Sebaos's arrogant character made it easy for him to foresee the failure of this plan, and it would be even more perfect if 6 Jedi Master and dozens of Jedi apprentice and Jedi Knight could be eliminated at once through this plan.

What happened to Unknown Regions happened without anyone noticing, right? Palpatine placed several of his own people in the exploration team, preparing to sabotage the exploration plan.

But Jolus Serbaos knew nothing about it. He also proudly declared that Honor of this exploration project belonged to Jedi Order, and demanded absolute authority among the exploration team.

Palpatine agreed to all this with a smile.

Then... all we have to do is wait for the complete failure of Outer Rim Exploration Program and the discredit of Jedi Order.

It was also in this year that the war that took place in Tatooine finally took a decisive step.

With the appearance of Gaddula Land Carrier and the personal end of Besadi kajidic, the struggle between Besadi kajidic and Desilijic kajidic, the two families of Hutt, has become more obvious, and the transportation of war supplies has also reached a blatant level.

If it weren't for the majesty of the Grand Hutt Council, both families would almost want to use their fleets!

Hutt Gaddula-Besadi, who had received sufficient material supplies, also strengthened his back. Under the leadership of Magtan-Scar, the current leader of the Calamity Legion, Gaddula Land Carrier built a more powerful combat vehicle.

SA2-17, Phalanx-class Armored Assault Vehicle (SA2-17 Phalanx-class Armored Assault Vehicle). It is 30 meters long. Its main weapon is a crazy 50mm caliber seven-barreled cannon, with a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

And a 114-meter-long land monster-Zenith-class Armored Capital Ship (Zenith-class Armored Capital Ship), equipped with two twin-mounted large-caliber rapid-fire cannons and 8 quadruple-mounted missile launchers.

When Gaddula Land Carrier led this terrifying armored force to cross the sandstorm again to attack the outside of Mos Eisley City, Hutt Jabba discovered that the T-24 airspeed machine he was proud of and purchased from Yuri-Orlov was nothing.

The invisible Banshee Fighter is constantly bombing and harassing the sky above Mos Eisley City, the flexible SJF-14 fighter jets are protecting ground troops in the sky, and the SCV starts to build Missile Turret wherever it goes. The Long Arrow surface-to-air missile system gives a fatal blow to all bounty Hunter spacecraft that want to come to support!

Pathfinder-class assault vehicle continues to use speed to harass every part of the city.

The one who controls these terrible war weapons is Caladanian mercenaries of Titan Security! They have rich combat experience, are cruel, cunning, and merciless, plus Magtan-Scar who has gone crazy because of the death of his brother.

This is already an army with complete arms, strong combat effectiveness, and is specially designed for desert warfare, and is also ferocious and terrifying!

In front of this army, Jabba can no longer survive.

Although Hutt Jabba has unparalleled wealth and criminal the Empire, but like Black Sun, all his power is only composed of a small number of direct forces and the vast majority of mercenaries and bounties Hunter. It is impossible for such a mob to match him.
