The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1495. A Secret Gathering of Treason

"Palpatine's current ambitions are not concealed at all! He directly bypasses the parliament to deal with the Jedi Knights, which is already ignoring the constraints of the Parliament. And... how dare he attack the Jedi Knights?" Padmé - Amidala is in agony.

What made her even more miserable was that she had no idea what role Anakin Skywalker played in this matter.

"I am now worried that our loyalty to the Republic has gradually begun to go in another direction." Bail Organa said in his thick and steady voice, "or, we have dedicated our loyalty to the wrong object..."

He took a deep breath, "We have long fought against autocracy and hegemony. Democracy has always been our proud weapon. But now, I find that the Republic itself has become the demon it once fought against. "

"We've got to find a way to stop them!" said another MP, Bana Brimmer, "especially with Schiff Palpatine. I'm concerned that he's going to grow more powerful as time goes on .Looking back now, he's been doing it every single day since the war broke out."

Bana Breemu (Bana Breemu) is the representative of the Humbarine planet (Humbarine). The Humbarine star area where she is located was once one of the important industrial bases in the core area of ​​the Republic.

However, because the Humbalin star region where this planet is located is very close to the trade union's home planets Cato-Neimoidia and Balmora-Neimoidia, when Severance-Tann belted When the Titan battleship Plague hit the planet Cato-Neimoidia all the way, some planets in the Humbalin sector were also briefly occupied by the Trade Federation in the chaos.

It is precisely because of this that she is often attacked by some political opponents in the name of the Separatist Surrender, but in fact, she is one of the most loyal supporters of the Galactic Republic.

"But what should we do now? Even in this incident of the Jedi Order, Palpatine has sufficient reasons-Master Yoda tried to assassinate him, and this reason is very sufficient." Mon Mothma said.

Bail Organa looked at Padmé Amidala, who was weak and leaning on the sofa, and was still a little out of control, shook his head, and sighed: "Now we are alone and alone, it is difficult to fight against Palpatine Yes. I think our immediate priority now is to save the Jedi Order as soon as possible. We should start with Palpatine's evidence of the charges against the Jedi Order and demand a re-investigation of the allegations against the Jedi Order. In this way, Maybe we can buy them some time."

"I have to remind you that what we are doing is very dangerous now." Bana Brimer said, "Have you ever thought that what we are doing is actually getting closer and closer to treason?"

Mon-Mothma was taken aback. "What do you mean? Treason? Rehabilitation for the Jedi Order?"

Bana Brimer said in a deep voice: "More than that, if our opposition continues, then opposing Palpatine itself will become treason."

"How is this possible?!" Mon Mothma turned pale with shock.

Bail Organa nodded and said: "Bana is right, Senator Mothma. As Palpatine's power grows, he is equating himself with the Galactic Republic and opposing Paalpatine. Alpatine is against the Galactic Republic. At that time, maybe we will really be marked as treason."

"If this is the case, once we become traitors, then the star sector we represent..." Mon-Mothma's face turned pale, "will also be charged with treason! The entire star sector will be sanctioned by the Republic! "

"Unfortunately, it is true." Bail Organa sighed. "When the day comes, we will have to bow."

At this moment, Mon Mothma looked at the hazy sky outside the window, her eyes became more and more determined as her eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Then if this is the case, we must do something before things are irreversible."

She stood up abruptly, "Apply for an administrative review of the incident involving the Jedi Order!"

Bana Brimer said: "Palpatine initiated Order 66 through the emergency ruling power. Now we are applying for administrative reconsideration. Although it makes sense in law, Palpatine can also use the emergency ruling power to proceed. Explain, there is no way to overthrow him. Now our biggest disadvantage is that we are in a state of war, as long as we rely on the direction of war, the emergency ruling power in Palpatine's hands is an invincible existence."

However, at this time, a somewhat weak voice suddenly remembered: "No, we can indeed apply for administrative reconsideration. But the object of our application is not the Jedi Order, but Order 66 itself..."

It was Padmé Amidala who spoke! She rested for a while, finally got better, and began to think again with her brilliant political mind.

"What's going on?" Mon-Mothma asked.

Now that she is still young, she is not sensitive enough to these political issues.

"Palpatine linked the initiation of Order 66 with the power of emergency ruling, giving us the illusion that he initiated Order 66 through the power of emergency ruling. But this is not the case in fact...emergency ruling power, only It allows him to directly propose a motion to launch Order 66, but it cannot be directly implemented." Padmé Amidala's voice was still very small, but it was powerful and hit the nail on the head.

Bail Organa's expression turned serious, and he suddenly realized, "That's true! Even if Palpatine directly uses the power of emergency ruling to convict the Jedi Order, order No. 66 must be signed by the Supreme Court of the Republic and the Parliament! But now he has no Instead of going through these procedures, Order No. 66 was directly launched! This only shows that the procedure for launching this order is wrong!"

He is also an activist, and immediately went on to say: "We must start preparing immediately! Collect all the information on the launch of Order 66 this time! Then draft an impeachment bill to formally punish Palpatine on the grounds of illegally launching Order 66." Impeach!"

"Okay, I'll do it now. I know some friends in the military, and they should be able to provide me with some information." Mon-Mothma said.

"This impeachment has put us on the path of treason..." Bana Brimer sighed, "Okay, but we must also be cautious. Leave it to me from the Supreme Court, I'm going to lobby them."

However, at this moment, a message was suddenly sent to Padmé Amidala's communicator. She raised her hand and looked pale!

"The Army of the Republic... is besieging the Jedi Temple! Leading them... is Anakin Skywalker!"
