312. The chaotic galaxy
"A mysterious man killed Lorne Pawan? Is there a Hutt's body at the scene?" Darth Sidious pondered after hearing Darth Maul's report.
Darth Maul knelt in front of Thisisle. His clothes were torn a lot by the explosion, and there were many wounds on his body that were still oozing with blood. But he didn't care about his injuries and just answered seriously: "Yes, I didn't see his face clearly in the darkness. But he dodged my first attack on him, and then he detonated the bomb. I had no more chance to contact him."
"And Lorne Pawan's holographic memory has also been destroyed and is still placed in a conspicuous position on his chest... This shows that the other party is also here for this memory." Darth Sidious frowned, "But I The Lord did not mention this matter to me. Logically speaking, if he sent someone else to solve this matter, he should have told me. Blocking the planet Naboo is no small matter. If it cannot be confirmed, the invasion will be difficult to launch! "
Darth Maul did not dare to express any opinions on this. He had also met Darth Plagueis several times. He was also full of fear of this extremely powerful Sith Lord, so naturally he did not dare to have any opinions.
Sidious glanced at Darth Maul and suddenly asked: "What kind of person is that mysterious man? Force-sensitive? Jedi? Or is it another Sith?"
"I feel no sign of the Force..." Darth Maul said.
"Not feeling the Force does not mean that he is not a Jedi or a Sith. Maybe he has done a good job in training to hide the fluctuations of the Force." Darth Sidious said.
"but……"
"That's enough, please step back. I'll handle this matter."
"As commanded."
After Darth Maul left, Sidious turned to look at the Coruscant Industrial Zone, which was densely covered with industrial machinery, and his expression gradually turned ferocious.
…
However, although the memory was destroyed by Darth Malthael, the invasion of the planet Naboo still failed to start...
For the Trade Federation, it can really be said that the house is leaking and it rains all night.
Because while Newt Gunray was committed to hunting down Lorne Pawan, the Trade Alliance's expansion work in the other direction also encountered problems.
It was 7 years ago in 39NNY. A satellite of the planet Alaris in the Kashyyyk galaxy, called Alaris 1, was discovered to contain rich resources. So the Wookiees, the residents of the Kashyyyk planet, asked The Galactic Republic applied for a colonization license and prepared to start the colonization work.
But when they landed on the satellite, they found that the Trade Federation had already arrived early and was establishing a base on the Alaris-1 satellite. They also had a large-scale battle with a local uncivilized intelligent creature called the Gundak.
At that time, the Trade Federation had already been sanctioned by the Galactic Republic, prohibiting them from establishing any colonies. Therefore, after the Wookiee leader Attichitchuk negotiated several times with the Trade Alliance to no avail, an armed conflict broke out between the two sides.
This time the armed conflict was fought and stopped, talked and fought, and it went on like this for seven years. Recently, the Trade Federation finally seriously injured Ati Chichuk. However, when they thought they had a chance to win, Ati Chichuk's son Chewbacca stepped forward.
Under the genius leadership of Chewbacca, the Wookiee army repeatedly defeated the Trade Federation's robot forces. Just recently, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly appeared on the Alaris-1 satellite. Under their guidance, Chewbacca's growth can be said to have progressed by leaps and bounds.
So here, Newt Gunray had just received notification that Lorne Pawan was dead and the holographic memory issue had been resolved, and he quickly prepared to besiege the planet Naboo. Over there, news came that the Trade Federation's main base on the Alaris-1 satellite had been captured by the Wookiees. The regional senior official who directed the operation, Pector, abandoned his troops and fled in panic. He almost choked to death before he could even breathe.
This is not all, because the Trade Federation suffered heavy losses on the Alaris-1 satellite, its reputation also fell to the bottom, and many outsiders also fell into trouble.
As a result, news of the Trade Federation's genocide of the Gundak people on the Alaris-1 satellite and the construction of illegal robot factories on the planet Eos came one after another. Speaker Finis Valoran had waited too long for the day when the Trade Federation would be in decline, and he immediately announced a new round of investigations and sanctions against the Trade Federation.
The anxious Newt Gunray had to continue to postpone the plan to siege the planet Naboo. After repeated back and forth, the result was that he could only set the time for half a year after the previously determined time, and there was no way to advance it.
Darth Sidious was furious about this, because Newt Gunray was his person in a sense. Newt Gunray had problems again and again, and it was Darth Plagueis who cleaned up the mess. The people over there made Sidious feel a very serious crisis.
…
Times were tough for the Trade Federation, and so was the Jedi Order.
Because too many things have happened recently, the civil war on the planet Seria is basically in a state where no one can control it. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who originally wanted to solve this civil war, were successively killed by Incho. The civil war intensified due to the local riots and the battle on the Arias 1 satellite.
As nearly 100,000 technology prisoners in the three prison cities launched a riot and joined Elder Dor-Fermi-Bonmi's technology movement, the strength of the technology movement skyrocketed, and they once invaded the suburbs of the capital Tecalf City.
But Elder Leiden purchased a batch of tanks from the Technical Alliance at a high price and pushed Elder Dole's army back. Later, Elder Dole also bought a batch of anti-tank rocket launchers, and the battle line began to seep again.
The scale of the civil war is getting bigger and bigger, and many people have begun to treat this issue calmly, so various anti-war movements have been launched. They use their own methods to launch demonstrations and petitions, hoping that the major warlords in the civil war will stop the war and start peace. negotiation.
Sylvn, the daughter of Jedi Master Ki-Adi Mundy, is also a member of the anti-war organization. She uses her father's reputation on the planet Seria to travel around and work hard for the anti-war cause.
However, not long ago, a terrible thing finally happened!
When Sylvan participated in an anti-war march, the marchers clashed with some fanatics. In the chaos, Sylvan was shot in the chest by a killer hidden in the crowd, killing him on the spot!
Upon hearing the news that his daughter had been assassinated, the reclusive Master Ki-Adi Mundy was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the force surrounding him even began to have a hint of the power of the dark side!
