The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2235, The Brink of the Mandalore Civil War

The planet Mandalore has been in a long-term chaos since Grand Duchess Satine Kryze was controlled and initiated a referendum to secede from the Galactic Republic.

This was originally a star region where the Neutral Galaxy Alliance, the Separatist forces and the Galactic Republic forces competed with each other. After the Mandalore planet lost its credibility in the random referendum, the Neutral Galaxy Alliance collapsed and things became complicated. Later, due to the failure of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the power situation in this star region became even more chaotic.

Just the planet Mandalore itself, after the disappearance of Grand Duchess Satine Kryze, has successively experienced the rule of former Prime Minister Almek, the rule of Death Watch Transcendent Vizla, and the period when Transcendent Vizla compromised and let Bo-Katan Kryze serve as the Grand Duke of Mandalore.

The complex regime, complex interest orientation, and complex team-up made it impossible for the Galactic Empire to grasp the situation in the Mandalore star region, so it chose to wait and see.

In the current Mandalore sector, in addition to Mandalore itself, there are 1,500 galaxies of the former Neutral Galaxy Alliance, remnant separatist forces, republican planets loyal to the Galactic Republic, power planets loyal to the Galactic Empire, neutral planets that absolutely remain neutral, and Severance Tann's fleet and the remnant fleet of the Second Galaxy Army of the Galactic Republic.

This long list of forces that makes people feel overwhelmed is the best annotation of the current chaotic situation in the Mandalore sector.

Moreover, the relationship between these forces is not a very fixed situation at all. For example, those planets that claim to be neutral are basically in a state of being the mother of milk, and they will follow whoever gives them benefits.

So it is impossible for such a place to be integrated in a short time.

Severance Tann also maintains a fleet here. She occupies Akiva, a not-so-large industrial base of the former Independent Galaxy Confederation, and gradually gains a foothold in the Mandalore sector. However, because the industrial scale of Akiva is not large, the scale of Severance Tann's fleet is not large either.

Her fleet is gradually establishing a kind of order, an order with her fleet as the arbitrator. All the planets in the Mandalore star zone can go to her for anything, including fighting pirates, mediating disputes, etc. Although this fleet is not large, it is more than enough to accomplish these things.

In the past few years, the reputation of the Severance Tann Fleet has been growing. If it were not for its limited scale, it would have replaced the Mandalore planet and become the overlord of this star zone.

And the Mandalore planet is still in chaos.

After the Super-Vizla led the Death Guard to power, due to the poor reputation of the Death Guard, he could not get enough support at all, so he had to turn to the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire successively. But the Mandalore planet is too remote, and neither the Republic nor the Empire has enough energy to come to support him.

Oh, it is not right to say that there was no support for Super-Vizla. To be precise, both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire have provided some assistance, ideologically.

Well... For example, admitting the ruling status of Super-Vizla, whitewashing the various anti-social crimes of the Death Watch, calling on the Mandalorians to accept the leadership of the Death Watch, and so on.

On the contrary, because the Mandalorians have great hatred for the Galactic Republic, although Grand Duchess Satine-Kryze once let the Mandalorians let go of this hatred, but with the disappearance of Grand Duchess Satine, the Mandalorians almost all think that this is a conspiracy of the Galactic Republic.

So this incident made the Mandalorians have an unforgettable hatred for the Galactic Republic. It's no wonder they are so extreme now, because from the perspective of the Mandalorians, we have all laid down our weapons, and there are not even military factories in the entire planet, but what have we got? The beloved ruler was murdered by the Galactic Republic!

As a result, Super-Vizla not only did not get the support he wanted, but had to face resistance and uprisings on the planet Mandalore.

So he had to seek help from his mastermind behind the scenes - Shen Jon, who accepted the title of Darth Tenebrous, and Tyber Zane, the young leader of the Zahn Group.

Tyber Zane provided Super-Vizla with a large amount of supplies and weapons, allowing him to establish his own reign of terror on Mandalore. However, these supports were paid, and Super-Vizla needed to use assets on Mandalore to pay off the debts. If he could not repay, the vicious mercenaries of the Zahn Group would come to collect the debts in person.

Super-Vizla had no idea that he had been abandoned. He dared not speak out against the behavior of the Zahn Group. In order to get more funds and supplies, he could only turn a blind eye and watch the Zahn Group plunder the cities on Mandalore.

So what the people of Mandalore saw was the Death Guards who were usually arrogant, but they were as obedient as kittens in the face of those gangster-like Zahn Group thugs.

Such behavior has led to more and more resistance.

Even if Super-Vizla put on a show and pushed Grand Duchess Satine Kryze's sister, Bo-Katan Kryze, to the front, making her the new Grand Duchess of Mandalore.

The Galactic Empire, which has been supporting Super-Vizla ideologically, also recognized Bo-Katan Kryze's position as the Grand Duchess.

However, it was impossible for Bo-Katan Kryze, who had witnessed the chaotic rule of Transcendent Vizsla, to accept this. But when she was about to fiercely resist the extraordinary Vizsla, a man appeared in front of him-Vitaly Orlov.

Vitali Orlov broke up with his arms dealer brother Yuri Orlov more than 20 years ago because of the civil war on the planet Seria. He left the fourth civilization and wandered around, and for a time he lived on the streets. An idle gangster. Because of this matter, Yuri Orlov and him had many quarrels in the communication.

Later, Vitali wandered around and ended up on the planet Mandalore.

During the years he lived on the planet Mandalore, he witnessed Satine Kryze's various peaceful policies on the planet and saw how she led the planet Mandalore, which was constantly being devastated by war, to find a peaceful path. of. As a result, Vitaly Orlov believed that he had finally found his purpose in life, and he would work hard to achieve peace.

Therefore, Vitaly Orlov picked himself up again and continued to learn and improve. Later, Yuri Orlov also learned about his affairs, so he gave him a large amount of financial help, and Vitaly Orlov also became the administrator of the planet Mandalore.

Later, Vitaly Orlov was appreciated by Grand Duke Satine and became her peace advisor. He began to assist Grand Duke Satine in traveling to all walks of life in the Galactic Republic to appeal for peace.

Later, Grand Duke Satine was controlled by Darth Tenebrous, and the planet Mandalore held a referendum to become independent from the Galactic Republic, which ignited the fire of chaos in the Mandalore sector. In a series of disasters, Vitaly Orlov also grew up again. He realized that pure peace is useless, no matter how harmless you act, but in the face of interests, everything is in vain .

The order and peace promised by the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire are simply empty words!

So in the next few years, Vitaly Orlov hid, evaded the pursuit of the Death Guard, and secretly developed his own resistance.

Finally, he decided that the time was right and appeared in front of Bo-Katan Kryze.

For Bo-Katan Kryze, Vitaly Orlov was an elder who inherited the same line from his sister. His appearance made Bo-Katan Kryze's young and energetic thoughts finally mature. stand up.

Vitali gave Bo-Katan Kryze an in-depth analysis of the current situation on the planet Mandalore, analyzed various anomalies in Transcendent Vizsla, and then told her that what she saw in front of her might not be the real enemy. If you rashly jump out to resist at this time, you will only be slapped to death by the black hands hidden behind the scenes.

As a result, Bo-Katan Kryze began to secretly build his own power, and continued to strengthen himself while Chao Vizla was struggling with the successive riots and uprisings.

Vitali told Bo-Katan that Vizsla was just an outcast. But in the absence of enough variables, this abandoned son will not be abandoned so easily. The mastermind behind the scenes will still control the extraordinary Vizsla like a puppet on strings to achieve the ulterior purpose.

What is needed now is to wait.

Vitali Orlov has almost become Bo-Katan Kryze's mentor at this moment. He taught Bo-Katan many political insights and ways of dealing with the world. And if these things were put in the past, it would be impossible for the rebellious girl Bo-Katan to accept them. However, after personally experiencing various changes on the planet Mandalore, Bo-Katan Kryze also put away his former immaturity and began to see things in a bigger picture.

Then, the change finally came.

Jango Fett, once the leader of one of the Mandalorian factions and the True Mandalorians, suddenly made a comeback. The true Mandalorians stand between the New Mandalorians who completely give up their arms and take the path of peace, and the Death Guard who completely move towards extreme terrorism. They advocate peace but refuse to give up their arms.

True Mandalorians agree that war should not be waged, but believe that large-scale mercenaries can be formed to maintain the Mandalorian military tradition.

However, 30 years ago, the True Mandalorian faction was conspired by the Death Watch and used the intervention of the Jedi Order to massacre them all by the Jedi Knights headed by Master Dooku.

Now, Jango Fett finally puts aside his past and returns to the planet Mandalore under the name of Mandalorian Warrior!

Along with Jango Fett, there were more than 20 real Mandalorian warriors, as well as an unknown warrior wearing mecha number 117.

Although they seemed to be weak, more than 20 of them had destroyed military targets with thousands of defenders many times! Even the Death Guard warriors that Super Vizsla was proud of were no match for them.

Their equipment is extremely advanced, and their physical fitness is like monsters. They can even overturn armored vehicles with their bare hands!

Jango Fett claimed to have established the Mandalorian Restoration Army and asked Chao Vizsla to stop his perverse behavior and hand over power.

Naturally, Chao Chao Vizsla could not agree. He declared that Jango Fett was a traitor and a criminal, and he was wanted worldwide. At the same time, he himself hid to prevent being directly beheaded by those super soldiers.

At this time, many of Chao Chao Vizsla's decrees were issued through Bo-Katan Kryze, and Bo-Katan was the one who showed up. Anyway, he didn't care whether Bo-Katan Kryze would be affected by those people. Super soldier kills.

This made Bo-Katan-Kryze more and more dissatisfied, and he began to pretend to obey in many things, so this situation made Mandalore almost anarchic.

However, although it seems that the rule of Super-Vizla has entered the countdown, it is still very difficult to really solve him.

The main reason is that Super-Vizla is now hiding in the satellite of Mandalore, (Concordia) satellite. The administrative division of Concordia satellite in the Mandalore regime is an autonomous state. It is relatively independent and it is also the hometown of Super-Vizla. His rule here is very stable.

Not only that, under so many years of violent rule, Super-Vizla has also established a huge army of millions of people, which is also the basis for his continuous suppression of the resistance movement. Now Super-Vizla seems to have begun to prepare for a possible civil war.

Vitaly Orlov now leaves Mandalore and heads to the core of Hutt Space, the smuggler's moon Narshada, in order to find the legacy left by his brother Yuri Orlov and see if he can find anything that can help the current Mandalore.

To put it bluntly, he is also preparing for a civil war.

Vitaly Orlov is not afraid of weapons or war now. This time, he decided to face it all!

…

Tangrene, the outer ring of the northeastern part of the Milky Way.

This is a planet that is very remote but has convenient transportation. During the Clone Wars, this planet was part of the Confederation of Independent Systems, but in fact, there were only some relatively backward nomads on the planet. They were unwilling to join the war, and the Confederation of Independent Systems had no time to take care of this poor and remote place.

Later, when the Galactic Republic counterattacked, the 11th Army of the Galactic Republic, which governed this star region, once planned to build a military base here to consolidate its rule in the Outer Rim Star Region. However, this plan was only halfway through and stopped.

But if you look at this planet now, you will find that the half-built military base on this planet has been activated!

An officer walked into the command center of the military base and said to a person sitting there meditating: "The planet Mandalore is probably on the verge of civil war... Master Windu."
