The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1973. National Day Ceremony

Bang! Bang! Bang! ! Over the Dawn Planet, countless fireworks bloomed, and various beautiful patterns streaked across the sky. Even the usually cold and thick star rings were now decorated with countless colored lights, reflecting the planet's sky in colorful colors.

Today is the 8th anniversary of the founding of the Principality of Dawn. Since the establishment of the Principality in 20BBY, ​​until now in 12BBY, the Principality of Dawn has been stable, prosperous, and strong, and is getting stronger day by day.

All this is due to the wise leadership of the great, brave, wise and powerful Grand Duke of Dawn - Tang Xiao.

Under the leadership of Tang Xiao, the Dawn Principality defeated the Galactic Republic and established its position. Then it made peace with the Galaxy Empire and decisively ended the war. After that, through a series of targeted developments, the Dawn Principality's national power increased rapidly.

Especially the reintegration of Rendili Interstellar Power Company and the relocation of the huge population on the planet Rendili, the overall strength of the Dawn Principality has made an even greater leap! By now, according to statistics, the industrial production capacity of the Principality of Dawn has officially surpassed that of the former Confederation of Independent Systems, becoming one of the most powerful neighbors since the founding of the Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire.

With the completion of the star gate on the planet Rendili two years ago, the relocation of the population has become much more convenient. In just two years, the relocation of 30 billion people was completed. If the Ministry of the Interior hadn't complained that it couldn't bear it, and the Minister of the Interior Daphne Clement was lying in Tang Xiao's office, the population relocation would have been even faster. .

During this 10-day National Day, it is the happiest day for the residents of the Principality of Liming. They will organize various activities to celebrate the National Day, and they will also use various ways to praise Tang Xiao. Great achievements.

These days are also the busiest time for Tang Xiao. In 10 days, he will choose 10 planets in the Principality to visit, participate in local National Day activities, and give speeches.

On this year's National Day, Tang Xiao chose the planet Havin, the capital of the Havin sector, the planet Eriadu, the capital of the Sethwenna sector, the Salarian home planet Keve-Bir, and the Vasari homeland Karl. Planets, Annaji planet, the capital of the Model sector, Lundili planet, the largest industrial center of the Dawn Principality, Yago-Dur planet, the homeland of the Given people, Vathian planet, the homeland of the Vathian people, Jinyan planet, the homeland of the Gran people, Planet Salust, home of the Salust people.

Later, because the Yago-Dur planet may have abnormal astronomical phenomena according to calculations, Tang Xiao temporarily canceled the trip to the Yago-Dur planet and instead participated remotely in the Jivin colony on the other side of the galaxy - Lotta. National Day activities of our planet.

According to many editorials and news reports, compared with Tang Xiao's tour last year which was concentrated in the northern border, the year before last which was mainly to agricultural production planets, and the year before that which was mainly to the homes of some sub-ordinate races, This year, Tang Xiao, Grand Duke of Dawn, made very conservative choices for his tour, basically focusing on the most important planets in the direct jurisdiction of the Principality of Dawn.

The interpretation of those experts is that the theme of Grand Duke Tang Xiao's tour this year is unity, which is to strengthen the unity among different star regions and different races within the Principality of Dawn, so that everyone can gather all their strength to fight against powerful enemies.

The celebrations in various places were very lively and seemed to cover up many troublesome contradictions. Everyone's attention was focused on this huge festival.

…

Today, Grand Duke Tang Xiao's tour destination is the planet Cave-Bir, which is also the home of the Salarian people. After more than 20 years of development, the extremely high reproduction and growth rate of the Salarians has resulted in a population of more than 8 billion on this planet, making the Salarians a powerful race with a large enough population.

The planet Cave-Bill is famous for its large number of research institutes, intelligence agencies and advanced shipyards, and the Boxing Day gift they brought to Grand Duke Tang Xiao this time is a big gift!

At this moment, Tang Xiao was taking a luxurious shuttle to the spaceport on the outskirts of the planet Cave-Bill, waiting for the arrival of this great gift.

Soon, the sound of ritual music sounded, and along with the impassioned music, a dazzling white light came from the universe!

This is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a large spaceship leaves the hyperspace channel. The violent light shows the huge size of the incoming ship, because this is a wave that only a large spacecraft can produce.

Soon, a huge battleship suddenly appeared in the empty space, and it was less than 500 kilometers away from the shuttle where Tang Xiao was!

Looking at the spacecraft through the optical sensor, Tang Xiao, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, had an inexplicable smile on his lips. It was the smile of a man who longed for killing and war, and got a weapon at his disposal...full of cruelty, full of devouring and killing!

At the moment of leaving hyperspace, countless Salarian engineers had already lowered their heads to perform intense calculations and inspections, because this jump itself was a bold attempt.

That's right, jump! ! The landing point of this battleship leaving hyperspace was within the gravity well of the planet Cave-Bill! Or strictly speaking, within the gravity wells of the gas giant Endor.

Because as a satellite of the gas giant planet Endor, the gravity well of Cave-Bill is surrounded by the extremely huge gravity well of the gas giant planet.

Under normal circumstances, when a spacecraft comes to the moons of the gas giant planet Endor, including the Dawn planet, it must escape from hyperspace outside the gravity well of the gas giant planet, and then fly over through the sublight speed engine.

However, this battleship, out of hyperspace, is directly within the gravity well!

If you are familiar with the secrets of the Duchy of Dawn battleships, you will know that before this, there was only one type of battleship in the Duchy of Dawn that could directly jump into the gravity well range through hyperspace - that is, it used the Forerunner technology engine. The endless-class super aircraft carrier!

And now, this obviously not Endless-class battleship has done the same thing, which only means one thing - the Navy of the Principality of Dawn has further conquered the Forerunner engine technology and begun to apply the jump technology to other battleships. !

This gifted battleship had already used its sublight speed engine to fly in front of the shuttle where Tang Xiao was located. The huge ship was like a wall lying in front of the shuttle.

The soft lines, gold and white paint, look somewhat similar to the current Hell's Angel-class main battleship of the Dawn Principality, but the size is several times larger!

This is a super large battleship with a length of 3820 meters and a height of 1400 meters - the Revelation-class battleship (Revelation-class)! !
