The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1450. Uncertain Time Bomb

Order 66, the end of the Jedi Order.

In the original plot, it was about a year later in 19BBY. At that time, the Galactic Republic was victorious in the war, the end of separatism had come, and the speaker Schiff-Palpatine's control of power had reached a new height.

Therefore, the Jedi Order became increasingly wary of Palpatine, but Palpatine had already completed his preparations at this time, and he no longer concealed his identity. After learning that Palpatine was Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Master Windu led the three masters of the Jedi Council, Kit Feisto, Sass Ting and Akin Cora, to Arrest Darth Sidious.

However, Darth Sidious's power at this moment exceeded all of their expectations, and the three council masters were killed almost instantly, leaving only Master Windu to fight hard with him.

Anakin Skywalker, who got the news, rushed to the parliament building, but saw Darth Sidious pretending to be killed by Master Windu. Anakin had already moved closer to the dark side because of his mother's death and his distrust of the Jedi Order. Now he thought that Darth Sidious could help him resurrect his mother, so he stopped it.

But Anakin lost his mind under anger and fear, and cut off Master Windu's hands with a sword, and then Master Windu was knocked down by Darth Sidious with lightning from the Force.

So far Anakin Skywalker has completely fallen into the dark side and has become a disciple of Darth Sidious. And because Schiff-Palpatine finally grasped the handle of the Jedi Knights, he used the Jedi Knights to try to murder the Speaker as an excuse, declared the Jedi Knights treason, and activated Order 66.

Directive 66 is one of the 150 emergency directives that are pre-implanted with biochips in the brains of clone soldiers. These directives include various extreme situations. And Order 66 corresponds to the handling of treason by the Jedi Order.

These instructions may be difficult for normal soldiers to accept and operate, so they are forced to execute them through biochips.

In fact, the existence of these instructions and biochips is also known to the Jedi Order, and this is not a secret. At that time, Master Seve-Dias signed the clone soldier project, and Master Shak-Ti, who was later stationed on the planet Kamino to supervise the production of clone soldiers, knew about the biochip and these 150 instructions.

But the problem is that there is a subtle word game in the execution logic of instruction No. 66. This word game did not exist when the samples were submitted to the Jedi Order, but only existed during actual production. The Jedi Order did not understand biotechnology, and they could not tell the difference when they saw the 150 instructions that actually formed the code. difference.

This word game is that if the other 149 orders are to be implemented, they must include the consent of the Speaker, the Jedi Order, the Supreme Strategic Command, the Ministry of Intelligence of the Republic, etc., or if the orders of these departments are involved, other It will only be implemented with the joint signature of the department.

As for Directive No. 66, the speaker can directly order it to be implemented, and then he only needs to inform other departments!

So at that time, Darth Sidious only needed to have a reason to support his judgment of treason by the Jedi Knights, and then he could immediately execute Order 66.

According to this order, all clone troopers will kill every Jedi Knight on the spot! As a result, those Jedi warriors who were fighting on the front line were shot and killed from behind by their comrades who had been with him for three years without warning!

Except for a small number of extremely outstanding Jedi Knights who escaped this catastrophe, a total of more than 10,000 Jedi Knights died under Order 66!

After clearing the Jedi Order, Darth Sidious directly tore off the last disguise and announced that the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire, and he himself became the Emperor of the Empire!

Of course, after Darth Malthael came here, it is naturally impossible for Darth Sidious to complete the integration of his power so comfortably, and execute Order 66 to eliminate the Jedi Knights after all preparations are complete Tuan, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Such a result can only be that the next Galactic Empire quickly integrates and completes the distribution of domestic power and interests, and quickly re-enters the path of war and power.

But on the other hand, Darth Malthael doesn't want the Jedi Order to survive Order 66 either. The relationship between him and the Jedi Knights is absolutely endless. Just his existence cannot be allowed by the Jedi Knights. Therefore, the demise of the Jedi Order has become the only thing that still has a tacit understanding between him and Darth Sidious.

Therefore, Darth Malthael devised such a plan - more than ten years ago, he was sent by Darth Plagueis to kill Lorne Pavan, who might have leaked the plan for the Battle of Naboo At the time, he left such a mind to hide the information obtained by Lorne Pawan on his robot I-5YQ, and asked Super Lotus to hide this information very cleverly, so that Jax Pawan could not So easy to find out.

In this way, the I-5YQ becomes an ticking time bomb for both Darth Sidious and the Jedi Order! Once the information in it is discovered by Jax Pawan, he will definitely report it to Master Yoda, and the Jedi Order will definitely respond. At the same time... Darth Sidious, of course, will immediately start dealing with the Jedi Order.

As a result, Darth Sidious was forced to attack the Jedi Order without sufficient preparation, and at this time the power in his hands had not been integrated, so he would naturally pay a huge price.

On the other hand, because of the existence of Order 66, the Jedi Order also has a high probability of being wiped out by Darth Sidious, but there must be more Jedi Knights who survived than the original plot of Order 66!

In this way, his purpose is fully achieved.

Now, after learning that Coruscant had suddenly entered a state of blockade, Darth Malthael immediately understood that this ticking time bomb had finally detonated. Now he just needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't do anything. He needs to come to the planet Koliban to complete the dark ritual he didn't complete.

Darth Sidious has been staring at Korriban, he knows the dangers of letting Darth Malthael complete the ritual, so the last time Darth Malthael came to Korriban, he quickly Came and, with the help of Marca Ragnos, repelled Malsail.

Darth Malthael has also known since that time that if Darth Sidious keeps staring at him, it is impossible for him to achieve his goal.

Therefore, we must wait until he has no time to care about him, and this time is now! !
