The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1871. The chaotic planet of Mandalore

Among the Mandalorians, there is still a group of people who do not want to give up their military power. Although they also admit that the Galactic Republic has overwhelming power and understand that the era of competing with the Galactic Republic has long passed, they still insist on the martial arts of the Mandalorians. These people call themselves True Mandalorians, or Orthodox Mandalorians.

The real Mandalorian hopes to continue to exert the power of the Mandalorian on the mercenary battlefield. This is a method that has the best of both worlds, but in fact, it also bows to reality. And Jango Fett was once their leader.

After that, there was the Death Guard, which suddenly emerged decades ago.

The Death Guard uses the Black Sword as the leader's holy artifact. They launch terrorist attacks and commit all kinds of evil. They insist on regaining the glory of the Mandalorian Crusade at any cost. They are very resistant to the new Mandalorian regime and continue to launch terrorist attacks. They want to overthrow the new Mandalorian government and establish a militaristic military government themselves.

Therefore, the Death Guard are considered terrorists, and their secret leader is the extraordinary Vizsla who once served as the governor of the new Mandalorian government and the state of Concord.

The entanglement between these three Mandalorian forces can be said to be intricate, with constant overt and covert struggles. As a result, during the Battle of Galederan, the Jedi Order, who had been deceived by Transcendent Vizsla, launched a war against the true Mandalorians and caused a massacre. But then the new Mandalorian Grand Duke Satine Kryze united with various forces, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, to eliminate the Death Watch.

However, Chaofan Vizsla has still not been exposed. He is also the governor of Concord State. On the surface, he is loyal to Satine Kriz, and he also runs Concord State vigorously.

The planet Mandalore has ushered in about 20 years of peace. Grand Duke Satine Kryze has worked hard to govern and work hard for the survival and development of the planet Mandalore, and has indeed achieved very good results. The planet Mandalore began to gradually become prosperous, and the people's lives became richer. The planet gradually emerged from war and destruction.

But then the Clone Wars broke out. In order to keep the planet Mandalore away from war, Grand Duke Satine Kryze once again used her outstanding talents and used the influence of the planet Mandalore to form the Neutrals Alliance with more than 1,500 surrounding planets.

The Neutrals Alliance refused to participate in this war, but as a member of the Galactic Republic, they did not refuse to provide the Galactic Republic with supplies such as food, medicine, light industry and daily necessities. It just refused to provide war-related supplies.

Although the Galactic Republic was very dissatisfied at the time, because the Satine Kryze big doll had already set an example before, there was not even a military-industrial enterprise on the planet Mandalore. Therefore, the Republic has nothing to say. It can’t let the planet Mandalore re-establish its own military-industrial system, right? Doesn’t this mean actively arming Mandalorians? So they can only acquiesce.

But it is obvious that even if Satine Kryze wants to stay away from the war, the war will still come to her. Because of the reputation of the Mandalorians as the strongest warriors in the galaxy, even though the Mandalorian Crusaders have been destroyed for thousands of years, they still exist in the hearts of people in the galaxy.

Even if Satine Kryze made the Mandalorians lay down their weapons, the fighting genes flowing in their blood would still be coveted.

At the height of the Clone Wars, the Death Watch, which was originally thought to have been eliminated, reappeared, and Super Vizsla also tore off his disguise. The Death Watch kidnapped the Grand Duchess Satine Kryze and controlled the residents of Sandari City, the capital of the planet Mandalore, through a mysterious brainwashing device.

Immediately afterwards, Sundari City launched a referendum and unilaterally declared independence from the Galactic Republic.

The outside world knew nothing about what happened in Sundari City, so they took the referendum seriously. The Galactic Republic immediately declared the planet Mandalore a traitor and prepared to send troops to attack it.

However, the conspiracy of Extraordinary Vizsla was foiled by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was wearing a mask of the Hermit and temporarily working for Darth Malthael, and the brainwashing device was destroyed.

However, Chaofan Vizsla was well prepared and escaped quickly. After Obi-Wan Kenobi rescued Satine Kryze, he found that she had been deeply affected by the brainwashing device and had become almost a disabled person, so he abandoned the hermit mask and disappeared with Satine Kryze. .

The Dawn Planet is also beyond the reach of the Mandalorian planet and cannot influence what happens next.

After the disappearance of Grand Duke Satine Kryze, Almec, the governor of the planet Mandalore, announced that he would temporarily take over the position of Grand Duke and continue to rule the planet Mandalore.

But by this time, the Neutrals Alliance had fallen apart. There is no way, the leader of the Neutrals Alliance actually jumped out and said that he wanted to be independent. This is definitely an act of war. Those planets follow the Mandalorian planet and just don't want to participate in the war. How can they continue to join together?

The planet Mandalore has already been thrown into chaos by the previous independence referendum, and the internal conflicts on the planet cannot be suppressed at all. Faced with the intensifying internal conflicts and the Galactic Republic, which was about to launch an army to prosecute, Prime Minister Almec neither dared to go to the dark side to seek assistance from the Confederation of Independent Systems, nor did he dare to return to the Galactic Republic for fear of being punished.

After all, the Galactic Republic's punishment for the planet Mandalore was already shown by the Mandalorian excision 700 years ago - orbital bombardment, which blew the planet into a white desert.

But the result of the vacillation is that the planet Mandalore has fallen into an embarrassing situation where it is not human inside or outside.

The Galactic Republic responded quickly. Master Windu led the main fleet of the Second System Army to the Neutral Alliance, preparing to solve the problem of Mandalore and the Neutral Alliance. The Confederation of Independent Systems also took advantage of the situation and secretly attracted supporters among the Neutrals Alliance.

The competition between the two major forces makes the situation on Mandalore even more chaotic.

At this time, the mastermind behind everything - Darth Tenebrous began his real plan!

Under his instruction, Transcendent Vizsla went to secretly contact Master Windu on behalf of the Death Watch, indicating that the Death Watch was willing to come forward to stabilize the situation on the planet Mandalore, but only if the Galactic Republic recognized the legitimacy of the Death Watch.

At that time, Master Windu was already preparing to become independent from the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and wanted to use the Neutrals Alliance as his own sphere of influence. When he was in urgent need of supporters, he agreed. Extraordinary - Vizsla's suggestion.

So Extraordinary Vizsla once again made a public appearance on the planet Mandalore. This time, he played a trump card - Satine Kryze's sister, Bo-Katan Kryze, who had already joined the Death Guard!

Afterwards, the Death Watch launched a coup.

Almec naturally did not want to give up the power he had finally obtained, so he went tit-for-tat with the Death Guard. Fortunately, the Death Guard is notorious as a terrorist on the planet Mandalore, so although Almek is not a good person, there are indeed many people who support him.

The two sides launched a fierce struggle and conflict on the planet Mandalore. However, the intensity of this conflict is high, but it does not reach the level of a civil war. It can be regarded as a coexistence of political struggle and armed conflict.

After all, the current Chaozhou Vizsla has smelled the scent of the throne of the Mandalorian planet. Naturally, he is not willing to really fight a civil war and destroy the Mandalorian planet that has finally developed.

Little did they know that Master Windu's fleet did not last long before it was annihilated by Severance Tann. Half of the main fleet of the Second Galaxy Army was destroyed. Most of the remaining warships were seriously damaged and fled back to the Galactic Republic in panic.

Seeing that the situation was over, Master Windu fled with Ki-Adi Mundy and others and disappeared from everyone's sight.

However, Severance Tann was unable to intervene in Mandalore's remaining forces at this time. She also suffered heavy losses in the process of defeating Master Windu, so she retreated to the Confederacy of Independent Systems exposed in this battle. Secret robot base, resting near the planet Akiva.

The planet Akiva also became the headquarters of Severance Tann after that. Count Dooku also followed suit and appointed Severance Tann as the governor of Akiva and the admiral of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, allowing her and her small fleet to be stationed here, waiting for opportunities to raid the rear of the Galactic Republic. , supporting the operations on Salukami planet.

During this period, the extraordinary Vizsla, who was secretly supported by Darth Tenebrous, finally defeated Almec. Being shrewd, he did not step forward personally, but instead let Bo-Katan Kryze, who was just in his early 20s at this time, serve as the Grand Duke of Mandalore, while he himself became the Prime Minister of Mandalore.

Bo-Katan Kryze is the sister of Satine Kryze. The Kryze family is also one of the aristocratic families that has continued on the planet Mandalore. Her coming to serve as the Grand Duke just stopped the mouths of many opponents. Moreover, Bo-Katan Kryze was still just a hot-blooded girl at this time and had no knowledge of administrative management. The power of the planet Mandalore was still in the hands of the extraordinary Vizsla.

At this time, it was also the critical moment when Palpatine announced that he would reorganize the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire and ascend the throne to proclaim himself emperor. Chao Chao Vizsla immediately announced his support for Palpatine's proclaimed emperor. This move also successfully won Palpatine's reward, and the Galactic Empire finally officially recognized the political status quo of Mandalore.

Extraordinary-Vizla thinks he has succeeded, he has become the legitimate ruler of the planet Mandalore!

So he began to enjoy the days of becoming the ruler of the planet Mandalore. Internally, he implemented a high-pressure policy, spreading white terror to every corner of the planet, and punishing any opponent with capital punishment. At the same time, bloody repression and revenge were carried out against previous Almec supporters, and a large number of innocent people were imprisoned and even secretly executed.

As the leader of the Death Guard, Chao Chao Vizsla must also respond to the Death Guard's needs - which is to expand the army and prepare for war!

Extraordinary-Vizla began to rebuild Mandalore's army, and built a military factory on the planet to manufacture his own fighter jets. At the same time, Beskar steel was mined extensively to manufacture Death Guard armor in large quantities. He also issued a decree to implement compulsory military service and established an army of millions of people!

Chao Chao Vizsla, who was already carried away with himself at this moment, did not know that his behavior had already attracted several cold looks.

One comes from the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine;

One came from Severance Tann, a famous Confederate general stationed on the planet Akiva;

One came from the Grand Duke of Liming Principality, Tang Xiao;

However, in an unknown valley on the planet Dathomir, there was another person who also looked at the planet Mandalore on the star map with cold eyes.

Another apprentice of Darth Tenebrous, Jon Shen!

Paranormal Vizsla believed that Darth Tenebrous chose him as his agent to rule Mandalore. After all, given the complex situation on the planet Mandalore, the best way is indeed to let the Mandalorians rule the Mandalorians themselves. On this point, regardless of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire or the Principality of Dawn, the attitudes of all aspects are consistent.

However, he did not realize that Darth Tenebrous really thought so?

Extraordinary Vizsla did not know that Darth Tenebrous was dead, and Shen Jon had inherited his legacy and the huge conspiracy layout. If he knew, maybe he wouldn't be so arrogant.

But before all this detonated, Transcendent Vizsla was still sitting on the throne of the planet Mandalore, sitting very comfortably.

…

One year after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the first Infinity-class super aircraft carrier, the Infinity, entered active service and was assigned to Severance Tann's small fleet on the planet Akiva, becoming Tann's new flagship.

But Severance Tann was not in a hurry to take action against the planet Mandalore. After all, the Galactic Empire was still attacking the planet Salukami at that time, and Tann's fleet had to be dispatched from time to time to harass the rear of the Galactic Empire. , to contain the imperial fleet and prevent them from attacking with all their might.

The step-by-step defensive battle of Planet Salukami cannot actually bring out the artistic commanding ability of Severance Tann. There was General Grievous and Admiral Trench, both of whom were not fuel-efficient.

And the continuous harassment and raids behind the Galactic Empire are what Severance Tann is good at!

After being strengthened by the Spartan Project, Jango Fett and 20 other real Mandalorian warriors, plus Master Chief John 117, came to the planet Akiva and joined Severance Tann's staff. , General Tann began his plan for the planet Mandalore.

After many discussions with Jango Fett, Severance Tann also confirmed that if we want to defeat the extraordinary Vizsla on the planet Mandalore, this problem cannot be solved simply through force.

The power of the people on Mandalore must be fully mobilized!

The Death Watch is still unpopular on the planet Mandalore. Only by fully mobilizing the people can we completely overthrow the Super Vizsla!

At this time, Severance Tann also received a secret order from Tang Xiao: Protect Bo-Katan Kryze!
