The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

378 , Shrouded in Darkness (Part 2 )

The outer ring of the Milky Way, the planet Felucia.

A Republic T-6 shuttle was flying past the planet. The engine part of the spacecraft was already billowing with thick smoke, and the shield had been penetrated, but it was still desperately fleeing.

Following this T-6 shuttle are dozens of Pike fighters. These fighters are extremely ferocious, and it is obvious that the fighters are all veterans who have been flying blood for a long time!

Although the driving skills of the shuttle are extremely high, the engine has been damaged and there is no weapon to fight back at all, so they can only escape in despair.

Suddenly, a burst of explosive energy hit the side of the shuttle, causing a violent explosion, and the shuttle lost control, rolling and falling.

At the same time, Earl Dooku's Geonosian solar sail spacecraft also arrived on the planet Felucia. He connected to the communication, and a Pike leader with a fierce face appeared in the holographic projection, "Okay, your information is very accurate , I've shot down Seve-Dias' ship. Where's our money?"

"One million credit points, and all of them have been exchanged into the Hutt currency - upi upi coins. No one will know the source of this money." Earl Dooku said coldly.

The Parker looked down at the personal terminal, then raised his head and said, "Very well, I have confirmed receipt. Now, you can go to check the crash site."

Dooku drove the spaceship and followed the guidance of the Pikes to the crash site of Seve-Dias. He looked at the burning wreckage of the T-6 shuttle in front of him, and found the serial number on the position of the flap—775519, confirming this It was Seve-Dias' spaceship.

When he came to the cab, Seve Dias was covered in blood and hung on the side of the seat by the seat belt, looking extremely miserable. He saw Earl Dooku walking in, muttering in a low voice, "Quick...go...be careful...Pikes..."

Before Master Dias finished speaking, he saw the Pike pirates respectfully following behind Earl Dooku. His eyes widened and he looked at this old friend who had known him for more than 40 years in disbelief. It seemed so strange.

Immediately afterwards, Earl Dooku's lightsaber pierced his chest! !

"Enough, Master Dias, enough. You have done too much for the Republic, enough..." Earl Dooku said with a smirk, "And your death is all you can do, useful to the Republic One last thing - destroy it!"

He swung the lightsaber violently, life was immediately pulled from Master Dias's body, he finally raised his hand and stroked across Earl Dooku's chest, as if reminding him of his true heart, and then fell to the ground and died .

After doing all this, Count Dooku closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said to the Pike pirate beside him, "Pick up the corpse and send it to my spaceship. Is there no one else here?"

"Of course not, Seve-Dias came alone." The Pike leader replied.

Count Dooku nodded and said nothing.

Back on the spaceship, he turned on the communicator and knelt down on one knee. The terrifying figure of Darth Sidious appeared on the communicator, "I have killed Seve Dias, and now only we know about the clone army."

"You've done a good job, Earl Dooku! Killing Master Dias also means that you will make a clean break with your past. You will officially become my apprentice, and I will officially grant you the title of Sith——Darth -Darth Tyranus!" Darth Sidious grinned.

"It is my lifelong wish to serve the dark side, my lord." Darth Tyranus replied solemnly.

The Geonosian solar sail craft soars into the sky and heads towards outer space.

At this time, a Pike came to their leader and asked, "Boss, didn't we capture Valoren's assistant Silman?"

The leader grinned grimly and looked towards an inconspicuous corner. There was a man tied up in the corner, his mouth was blocked and his eyes were terrified. Obviously, he had seen the scene where Earl Dooku killed Master Dias just now!

"You have to stay behind when doing things. After all, neither the Jedi Knights nor Count Dooku are easy to provoke. If they want to fight, let them fight slowly. Hehehehe..." The leader of the Pikes laughed coldly Get up, "Okay, brothers, the extra money is already in hand, it's time to get down to business! Send this batch of spices to the Corellian galaxy, Dryden Voss of Scarlet Dawn is waiting for it! He and the fourth group It’s an old friend, he just got an Apocalypse-class light cruiser, and the area around him is the strongest, so it’s better not to let him miss ours.”

...

The accidental death of Master Seve-Dias did not cause much disturbance. Under the action of Speaker Palpatine, the sacrifice of Master Seve-Dias was described as intervening in the conflict between several tribes on the planet Felucia. During the conflict between them, he was killed during peace negotiations.

Master Dias won the respect of all, and his body was cremated by the local tribal residents according to local customs, and returned to the nature of the planet Felucia.

The document was filed as Document 127456, which was suppressed as classified after a brief briefing to the Jedi Order.

...

For Speaker Palpatine, things are not over yet.

In the last months of 32BBY, in order to protest Palpatine's policy on the outer ring planet, a large number of workers from the outer ring planet launched a strike. But this activity was led by someone who did not know, and eventually turned into an armed conflict trying to storm the parliament building.

After the conflict was quelled, Chancellor Palpatine stated that in order to ensure the safety of parliament members, he proposed to expand the parliamentary guard because of the increasingly lawless actions of the so-called corrupt elements. And he logically incorporated the Echani Sun Guard who had been incorporated by him and once belonged to Preggs, and established the Speaker Guard.

Dressed in blue armor and robes, the speaker's guard looks majestic, and they are also composed of the most elite fighters. Although some MPs raised objections, they said that the appearance of the speaker's guard marked the beginning of the threat of force. However, the strikers stormed the parliament building first, and they were unable to carry out more opposition.

...

In the last month of 32BBY, something extremely terrifying to the Galactic Republic finally happened! !

Count Dooku, the Earl of Serenno Planet, former Jedi Master, suddenly appeared on the remote main planet of Lasax, and expressed his impassioned speech on this once prosperous planet, but now its environment is gradually being destroyed due to over-industrialization declaration.

He claimed that in the millennium since Ruusan's reforms, the Galactic Republic had proven itself incapable and incapable of truly governing and ruling the galaxy.

The Republic keeps making concessions in various disputes, only protecting the interests of developed planets and corporate giants, ignoring the demands of backward planets, leading to the final polarization of the Republic.

And what happened in the parliament recently once again showed the attitude of the republic. Those high-ranking officials and lords in Coruscant turned a blind eye to the Outer Rim sector and collected taxes at will, but were unwilling to undertake any obligations!

In this case, there is only one way to go in the outer ring star region——

confrontation! !

Earl Dooku began to call on the Outer Rim Star Region to refuse to recognize the rule of the Republic. The Outer Rim Star Region will handle its own security and finances by itself. From then on, it has nothing to do with the Republic!
