The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2436, War Situation (Part 1)

Now that the war in the North and Fangduo Planet has stopped, General Grievous dare not carry out too radical activities. Because at this time, the Galactic Empire has more mobile forces to be deployed in the East, and he does not need to offend the Galactic Empire at this time.

In fact, in the East, General Grievous is just a military adviser. The real war in the East is actually the Hutts, to be precise, the Gorensla family.

After the Hutts announced the establishment of a unified Hutt regime in Oruba-Gorensla and he served as the Hutt commander-in-chief, the political situation in the Hutt space has been in turmoil.

He rebuilt the Hutt Grand Council and reorganized it into the Council of Elders, which is also composed of five people, representing the five major families. However, this Council of Elders will only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions, and the decision-making power is still in the hands of the Gorensla family.

However, among the five major families, the Besadi family and the Desiligi family led by Gadula Besadi and Ziro Desiligi, who were supported by him, had already run away and scattered, and now they are just two empty shells with the names of legendary families.

The remaining two families are the Kunnarak family, whose leader is Malo Kunnarak, and the Angeliak family, whose leader is Zieta Angeliak. After the decline of the Besadi and Desiligi families, these two families expanded rapidly and have now become the most powerful families after the Gorensla family in power.

In other words, the current Hutt space is actually a situation where the three giants coexist.

In order to become the commander-in-chief, Oruba Gorensla actually made a lot of political compromises. While gaining the support of the Kunnarak and Angeliak families, he also made these two families too big to be eliminated, and they were constrained on many issues.

For example, on the issue of going to war with the Galactic Empire, Marlowe and Zieta firmly expressed their opposition. How firm was it? Marlowe even publicly declared that if Oruba-Gorensla dared to control the Desiligi and Besadi families, formed a three-to-two majority in the Council of Elders, and forced the war issue through, then the Kunnarak family would immediately withdraw from the Council of Elders.

Zieta also said that the two puppet families were just pretending to be together, but now on the critical issue of going to war, we should not play these games. Our three major families can just settle the matter ourselves.

Because in fact, among the three major families, Kunnarak is actually a very traditional gangster family. Their family business includes spice smuggling, slave trade, illegal mining, etc., but they have no industrial system and are not interested in war.

The same is true for the Angeliak family. They run a black port and do usury, gambling, smuggling, assassination, kidnapping, underground intelligence networks, etc., which are also unrelated to war.

In fact, let's not talk about them. Among all the Hutt families in the entire Hutt space, only the Gorensla family has a certain industrial foundation. After all, they have developed rapidly by relying on the Kingdom of Dawn. One of their means of making a fortune is to establish their own pirate plundering fleet and forcefully expand their smuggling business everywhere. Therefore, their basic base is closely related to industry, so the Gorensla family is able to support a large number of pirate plundering fleets.

This allows the Gorensla family to stand up and quickly control the situation with a powerful fleet when the Desiligić family and the Besadi family are both injured, but at the same time, it also makes them incompatible with other Hutt families.

Therefore, Oruba-Gorensla has never been able to get more support from the Hutt space.

Think about it, after all, the Hutts have been engaged in underground criminal business for tens of thousands of years, and they have always relied on the connivance of the Galactic Republic to live a good life. The emperor is far away, and no one dares to catch him if he commits a crime. Isn't it good to be a local emperor here?

The civil war between the Desiligich family and the Besadi family also showed all the Hutts the consequences of intervening in external affairs - that is, spending countless wealth and lives in vain, but getting nothing in the end. With this money, it is better to buy more slaves and enjoy more.

So now, when it comes to going to war with the Galactic Empire, no matter how many benefits Oruba-Gorensla tells them, they just won't listen. No one is willing to accompany the Gorensla family to participate in this war that the Hutts are not good at at all!

Therefore, although Oruba-Gorensla forcibly joined the war, in order to give an explanation to the Hutts, he also proposed the name of the volunteer army, under the banner of protecting the commercial interests of the Hutts, and pieced together a fleet to General Grievous.

This is why General Grievous, although he has the support of Oruba-Gorensla, can only fight guerrilla warfare everywhere with the 12th Army of the Galactic Empire in the end - because the only one who supports him in fighting is the Gorensla family.

...

Finally, there is the northeastern part of the Milky Way.

During the Clone Wars, this area was completely on the edge of the war, with no strategic value, no economic value, and no political significance.

But in fact, if we go back four thousand years, this area can be said to be the most terrifying red area in the Milky Way.

Among them, there are three names that can be called nightmares - Dathomir, Korriban, and... Mandalore!

Here are the birthplaces and core areas of the two biggest enemies of the Galactic Republic - the Mandalorian Crusaders and the Sith Empire. They are also terrible enemies that the Galactic Republic spent tens of thousands of years to finally defeat.

Now, this area has become a place that both warring parties avoid, but also miss. This area is now collectively referred to as the Mandalore Star Region.

Mandalore is a wide-area concept, and it does not have any political, economic or cultural significance. It is just a name given by the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn for convenience.

Now the Mandalore Star Region is completely in chaos. Thousands of races and galaxies here refuse to obey any instructions from the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn. All they want is autonomy.

But let's forget about autonomy. Whenever there is a problem, these planets always jump out and ask the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn for assistance. If they don't, they will declare that they will join the other side.

In addition, interstellar pirates are extremely rampant here, and the hyperspace channels are very complicated. What people care about most is that the planet Mandalore has ended its previous division and declared autonomy!
