The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

463, 27BBY

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

During this year, the current speaker of the Galactic Republic, Schiff Palpatine, showed his fangs. He first used the overseas exploration plan to find the handle of the deputy speaker, Mas Almeida, and then used his own Darth The identity of Dieus made the deputy speaker completely surrender.

Next, with Mas Almeida at his side, Schiff Palpatine went out and wiped out 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 think that Palpatine is weak and deceitful, so they use him to seek a lot of self-interest, but now, all those who have done this have all fallen into Palpatine in the palm of his hand. Either they were reduced to Palpatine's political puppets, or they were hit by Palpatine using these handles to never be reborn, or even imprisoned.

This series of means made Palpatine's strength in the Galactic Council more and more inflated. Those politicians were surprised to find that Palpatine, who was as docile as a kitten a year ago, had grown into a A terrifying political giant, he can even influence the decision-making of the parliament with every gesture.

Sadly, however, these victims didn't realize that Palpatine didn't just want them to be ordinary victims. For a politician like Palpatine, his every action must have a clear purpose, and many different purposes will be involved.

It would be foolish for Palpatine to take care of a person just to take care of a person.

The nasty things that these political factions did before were all exposed by Palpatine through various channels, and they immediately became corrupt officials in the minds of the people and officials, moths of the Republic, and even more serious - being detained for digging Separatist hat at the foot of the republic!

The things they did caused extremely bad effects, but Palpatine had no intention of helping them clean up the mess at all, but was just busy throwing the blame on these people.

This has led to a further deterioration of the political environment of the Republic, and the government's credibility has dropped to a very dangerous situation. And because of Palpatine's practice of wooing the inner ring and the inner ring planets and suppressing the outer ring planets, the ultimate victims of these things are the outer ring planets.

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

On the other side, Dawn star member Francis Underwood is also constantly active. This time, facing Palpatine's almost unstoppable trend, he immediately changed his strategy, allowing himself to transform himself, from opposing Palpatine's Outer Rim vanguard turned champions against corrupt forces.

He constantly accused those officials who caused losses to the outer ring planet due to corruption in the parliament, and constantly exposed the political puppets that Palpatine tried to shelter, exposing more darkness.

Now that he has given up his position of confronting Palpatine, he has turned to fight against those corrupt and evil forces. Targeted at him. On the contrary, because of Francis' revelation, Palpatine had to deal with some officials whom he originally planned to protect and manipulate. Francis.

In this chaotic year, the overseas exploration plan was launched as scheduled.

Jedi Master Jolus Cerbos organized 6 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers loaded with 50,000 settlers, and set off for the unknown star field under the leadership of 6 Jedi Masters.

Although Palpatine used the corruption in this overseas exploration plan to drive the Deputy Speaker Mas-Ameida to the end, he did not completely terminate the project.

Because of the arrogant character of Cholus Serbos, he could easily foresee the failure of this plan, and if he could eliminate 6 Jedi masters and dozens of Jedi apprentices and Jedi knights at once through this plan , it would be even more perfect.

Things that happen in the unknown star field are all unconscious, aren't they? Palpatine installed a few of his own people in the exploration team, ready to sabotage the exploration plan.

But Cholus Cerbos knew nothing about it. He also proudly declared that the honor of this exploration project belonged to the Jedi Order and demanded absolute authority among the exploration team.

All of this Palpatine agreed with a smile.

Then... just wait for the complete failure of the overseas exploration plan and the discredit of the Jedi Order.

...

It was also in this year that the war on Tatooine finally reached a decisive step.

With the appearance of the Gardura land-based aircraft carrier and the personal end of the Besadi family, the struggle between the two Hutt families, the Besadi family and the Desilijic family, has also become clear. It has also reached the point of being blatant.

If it weren't for the majesty of the Hutt Great Council, almost both of them wanted to use the fleet!

The Hutt Gardulla-Besardi, who has received sufficient supplies, has also stiffened his back. Under the leadership of the current leader of the Scourge, Magtan-Scar, the Gardulla 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, and its main weapon is a frenzied 50mm caliber seven-tube cannon with a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

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

When the Gardulla land carrier led this terrifying armored force across the sandstorm to attack the outskirts of Mos Eisley again, Jabba the Hutt found that what he was proud of, from Yuri-Olov The T-24 airspeed machine bought there is nothing.

Stealthy Banshee fighter jets bombed and harassed the city of Mos Eisley continuously, flexible SJF-14 fighter jets defended the ground troops in the sky, and SCV started building missile towers every place it went, and the Long Arrow surface-to-air missile system A fatal blow to all the bounty hunter spaceships who want to come to support!

The Pathfinder-class attack vehicle constantly harassed every part of the city with its speed.

Manipulating these terrifying weapons of war are the Kali mercenaries of the giant security guards! They have rich combat experience, ferocious, cunning, and merciless, plus Magtan-Scar, who has gone crazy because of his brother's death.

This is already a full-fledged army with strong combat effectiveness, and it is specially born for desert warfare, and it is a brutal and terrifying army!

In the face of this army, Jabba is no longer able to survive.

Although Jabba the Hutt has unparalleled wealth and a criminal empire, but like Black Sun, all his power is composed of only a small number of direct forces and the vast majority of mercenaries and bounty hunters. Such a mob is impossible rival it.
