The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1859. The Galactic Empire Full of BUFFs (Part 1)

With the fall of the planet Salukami, the Confederacy of Independent Systems finally came to an end. The core members of the former Confederacy of Independent Systems who were so powerful and powerful all went their separate ways.

The Corporate Alliance has long been crippled in the war, and they have suffered heavy losses in many battles. Whether it was the raid on the planet Kamino or the attack on the planet Christophsis, it seemed like a victory, but in fact they both suffered huge losses. Moreover, in the previous counterattacks of the Galactic Republic, several of their industrial worlds in the inner and central star sectors were lost, and they were even more devastated.

To make matters worse, as the defense line of Salukami planet was breached, the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance and the home planet of the Kuriva people - Mulkana planet, also opened its door, revealing the Galactic Empire. Within striking range.

Unlike Planet Semirs, Technology Alliance, and Planet Jabiem, which were the first to surrender, the Technology Alliance and Planet Semirs had enough bargaining chips, and Planet Jabim? Don't think that the current Jabiem planet is the same planet that just lost one-third of its population to cerebral plague and fell into civil war at the beginning of the war. The current planet Jabiem is much stronger than before.

The planet Jabim is rich in precious minerals, and they have made huge profits by exporting these minerals. And because in the early stages of the war, a good relationship was established with Tang Xiao and the Fourth Civilization, the Jabiem Planet also received a lot of investment from the Fourth Group.

Therefore, the expanded Yunyu Commando on Jabiim Planet is already a famous presence in the Federation of Independent Systems. The Galactic Empire is not willing to touch the flesh of the planet Jabim easily. Now that they surrender is naturally the best result.

But now the corporate alliance is different. They are already very weak. If they surrender now, their only result will be to be dismembered, split up, and then eaten up by the new batch of super industrial trusts that have emerged in the Galactic Empire. It is almost certain that not a hair will be left.

(After a little research, I found that the super corporations in "Star Wars" are basically in the form of trusts, that is, super monopolies composed of the same industry. There are almost no complex industry monopolies like Concern.)

Therefore, Parcel Argent, the co-chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, has no choice now. He keeps asking Tang Xiao for help, but now that the Enterprise Alliance is weak, Tang Xiao has no interest in connecting to his communication, and just tells him that the situation is not good. Just escape to the planet Christophsis through Hutt space.

Parcell Argent had no choice but to move the Enterprise Alliance as much as possible, move out some of his remaining savings, and then prepare to surrender the planet Mulkana, abandon the people themselves, and go to Christos The planet Fusis went to prepare for a comeback.

Other than that, the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association didn't matter. Newt Gunray and Thorn Hill had long been determined to follow Tang Xiao. Now they are core members in both the Principality of Dawn and the Freemasonry Alliance.

The Interstellar Banking Association has long since split, and now their home is on the planet Mequito, so they have no influence on what happens to the planet Salukami.

The same is true for the Trade Alliance. Although their losses were relatively greater, the main forces had already begun to relocate to the Principality of Dawn in the later stages of the war. At the same time, although their headquarters, the planet Balmorra-Neimoidia and the core wealth planet Cato-Neimoidia are isolated in the core circle of the galaxy, they have already mastered it with the foundation of the Trade Alliance. Several secret passages prevent these two planets from being isolated.

In addition, a few other members of the Confederation of Independent Systems in other directions, such as the retail alliance on the planet Christophsis, etc., are also now in a state of uncertainty.

The Confederation of Independent Systems can be said to be truly finished.

But even so, there are still many planets that decide to resist to the end! Most of these planets are not as powerful as those super corporations, but they join the Confederation of Independent Systems truly for their own beliefs!

Free faith!

These planets are trying their best to organize their limited forces and prepare for a decisive battle with the Galactic Empire!

As for the Galactic Empire, although it captured the Salukami planet and received the surrender of a large number of planets and super corporations, Darth Vader did not immediately rush past the Salukami planet and penetrate into the hinterland of the Confederation of Independent Systems. .

In fact, the reason is very simple - Darth Vader himself is also in an unstable state.

Don't think that in the decisive battle on the Salukami planet, Darth Vader simply crushed it with super large numbers and then won by pushing all the way.

In fact, during the three years before the Galactic Empire was established and Darth Vader launched this attack, the Galactic Empire had no intention of gathering a large fleet to take down the planet Salukami in one fell swoop.

They do, but they can't.

Darth Vader was able to assemble the fleet, bring it safely to the Salukami system, and then launch an offensive that lasted ten days, and ensured the integrity of the fleet's logistics and organization during these ten days. This is already a very remarkable achievement!

The reason why the Salukami planet is so difficult to defeat can actually be seen by looking at the flat star map of the Milky Way.

This planet is basically located close to the outermost cantilever of the Milky Way, almost close to the edge. The main fleet of the Galactic Empire needs to jump more than ten times to arrive from the core circle of the Milky Way, and many of the transfer points along the way are not under the control of the Galactic Empire at all.

And the surrounding situation is very complicated, because the other direction of the Salukami planet is right next to the Hutt space!

Regarding the Hutt space, unlike the original plot where the Galactic Empire directly relied on its powerful strength to oppress the Hutts and finally surrendered, the current Galactic Empire still has a large number of foreign enemies, so they still treat the Hutts in the spirit of doing more rather than doing less. attitude, basically not to actively provoke the Hutts.

Anyway, in the current civil war between the two Hutt families, the Galactic Empire also adheres to the policies of the Galactic Republic, and secretly supports the Desiligic family.

Therefore, if we want to use troops on a large scale on the Salukami planet, it will be difficult to ensure logistical supplies first. Almost everywhere along the way there were planets where uprisings broke out, or interstellar pirates who set up hyperspace blockers everywhere and wanted to make a fortune from the Imperial transport fleet.
