The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1315. Capital of New Mandalorian

Northeast of the Milky Way, Outer Rim Star Region, Mandalorian Planet, Capital of the New Mandalorian Regime, Sundari City.

After the "Mandalorian Excision" battle more than 700 years ago, more than 50% of the surface of the planet Mandalorian became a white crystalline desert. That orbital bombardment was nothing less than a devastating damage to Mandalorian, a planet with a pleasant climate and rich resources.

But life is tenacious. The lakes and oceans that were evaporated during the orbital bombing fell to the surface again through rainfall. Through the crystallized desert that could not hold water, a large number of underground water bodies were formed, and a new ecological system began to be re-established.

The gigantic dragon-like creatures that once roamed the planet Mandalore, the 'Mythic Dragons', have been extinct, and their imposing skeletons have become a symbol of the once-great glory of the ancient Mandalorian crusaders.

After suffering the brutal orbital bombardment, the reconstruction of the planet also proceeded very quickly. After the New Mandalorians gave up their tradition of force, they began to devote all their energy to peace and construction. They proved that the Mandalorians are not only powerful destroyers, but also hard-working builders .

At the same time, the Galactic Republic also played an important role in it, and they provided a lot of funds and materials to help the New Mandalorians rebuild.

It is ironic to say that in the past thousands of years, it was the Galactic Republic that had been at war with the Mandalorians; it was also the Galactic Republic that launched orbital bombing without declaring war and almost destroyed the entire planet; but in the end, it was the Galactic Republic that helped New Mandalore It was also the Galactic Republic that was rebuilt by humans.

In fact, this is the key point - the New Mandalorian, who claims to inherit the Mandalorian heritage, occupies this historic planet, but at the same time pulls out his fangs and makes himself Harmless new regime.

Their ideas are highly similar to the Galactic Republic after Rusan's reforms. At the same time, the Galactic Republic is also very happy to regard the emergence of the New Mandalorians as a typical example of its own set of "democratic ideas" blooming and bearing fruit in the Milky Way.

With the funding of the Galactic Republic, the New Mandalorian regime has established countless black cities in this white crystallized desert.

Why is it black?

Because these cities are covered with black protective shields to prevent the harsh radiation desert environment outside from affecting the life inside the cities. From the sky, these huge black hemispheres seem to be dotted with countless spots on the white desert. .

In addition, in the underground of these cities, countless large-scale underground planting industries have been established, and these fungal plants cultivated underground have become the rations of the Mandalorians.

Of course, other cities that were not destroyed in the orbital bombing remained the same, but the living environment was much worse-such as the former capital of the planet Mandalorian, Kordabe City.

And among those emerging black cities, the new capital Sundari City is the largest of the new cities established by these new Mandalorians.

In a bar called Sunset, a large dance by the Mon Calamari dance troupe is being broadcast live on the huge screen in the middle. In addition to excellent shipbuilding technology, the Mon Calamari people also have very good dance cells, especially the Mon Calamari woman who is as slim as a mermaid, leaping and dancing in the mid-air water polo restrained by a magnetic field, gracefully letting her dance. People are fascinated.

The New Mandalorian audience around sat at their own table, talking and laughing with their companions, while drinking moonshine wine brewed with a kind of luminescent fungus.

Their clothes are neat and clean, their conversations are polite, and there are not even loud people. Such an environment hardly reminds people that this is actually a bar.

Even in the underground bars of Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, you can often see bounty hunters with rough behavior, wearing leather jackets for easy movement, and bulging gun holsters around the waist or under the ribs.

But here, you can't see these people at all. Most of the people who drink in bars are workers or white-collar workers who have finished their day's work. Some of them had just finished assembling civilian spaceships from the shipyard all day, and came to chat and drink with a few workers, and some had just finished a day of laborious and time-consuming management and organization work. After taking off their formal clothes, they went to the bar to watch the dance performance.

Here, you can't find the slightest breath of war at all, as if the war is very far away from here, or it never happened at all.

A man in a gray robe and an old man's mask was sitting at a table in the corner, staring blankly at the huge holographic projection screen in the center of the bar.

The Hermit... Obi-Wan Kenobi who put on a mask and went to the Dawn Star to find answers to the future of the Jedi Order.

The performance of the Mon Calamari Dance Troupe was held in the National Theater of Coruscant. It was a high-level performance. Those who could watch the performance live were all rich and noble figures in the entire Galactic Republic. .

Normally, you would not be able to find any live broadcast signals for such a performance, but on the planet Mandalorian far away in the outer ring star region, you can actually watch the live broadcast.

Just such a small detail can prove how much the Galactic Republic attaches importance to the planet Mandalorian.

Just as the hermit reminded Tang Xiao before, any small action on Mandalorian planet may cause a fierce reaction from the Galactic Republic.

"Sir, this is the moonshine wine you want. According to your request, I added a little tasu fruit juice to make the sour taste more intense. I hope you like it." The well-dressed waiter brought a glass of light green wine on a tray. A hint of orange wine was placed on the table.

He didn't seem to be able to see the hermit's unique attire at all. Of course, not only him, even if he looked at it from the surveillance, the hermit's face was blurred.

Force mask.

If there is anything other than the hermit's mask that the hermit got from Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Star, it is the skill of the 'Original Force Mask'.

The hermit picked up the wine glass, took a sip from the gap under the mask, nodded, and took out a common credit ingot of the Republic worth 100 credits.

The waiter's eyes lit up, he quickly took the credit ingot, and praised, "Ah, you are so generous, sir. You are not a local, are you? I hope you can have enough fun in Sandari City."

The hermit smiled slightly, and he discovered another benefit—he was much richer than before.

"Sundari City is a beautiful city. I came here 24 years ago." He said slowly.

The waiter felt that he still had some stories to tell. Under the effect of Qian's ability, he did not leave, but kept a listening posture.

"Yeah... 24 years ago... during the Mandalorian civil war." The hermit said.

"That is already in the past, sir, including the name that has been buried in the desert and will never be mentioned, it has become the past." The waiter said, "And now the city of Sandari is the safest city in the entire galaxy." In the whole year of last year, Sundarli City set a record that no one died of crimes in the whole year."

"Is there not one? No... At least I heard that there was such a person recently." The hermit said.
