Chapter 595: The Top of the Empire

"We're going to part here, John. Good luck to all of us! Sister Xue said goodbye to the non-commissioned officer before parting. Although her first impression of the Master Chief was not very good, after two months of running-in training, she still thought that the Master Chief only had a strong personal luck worthy of her admiration. Sister Xue still has some doubts about his personal ability.

Now that they have stepped into an unprecedented and dangerous environment, cooperation is their only option. After saying goodbye, she also got on one of the shuttles, and with an order, she took the other shuttles into the sky in formation, and quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the non-commissioned officer on the ground.

Although there are many parts of the plan that require them to carry out together, this is the beginning of the mission, the danger is relatively small, and the two of them need to hurry up and do a lot of important preparations, and acting separately is the most efficient way.

Although the principle of their operation this time is to keep a low profile as much as possible, avoiding all Force warriors, they must also be careful not to attract the attention of the Galactic Empire's powerful warplanes. However, this does not mean that they cannot be active in the open environment.

In order for the mission to succeed in the later stages, they even have to appear in public at some necessary times, and even forcibly interfere with a small number of important plots shown in the film. And in order to do this as safely as possible, the preparation must not be sloppy.

Sister Xue and Master Chief have different assignments in this regard, and Sister Xue's task at this time is to lead the team to explore the nearby star regions as quickly as possible, and try to collect as much star map information as possible through legal or illegal means.

Only after getting a large amount of coordinate data can they effectively arrange the subsequent trip. Otherwise, in the face of the vast galaxy, they are destined to get lost even if they take a shuttle that can jump across the entire river system in an instant.

The Master Chief had the task of being equally important, he had to set up an operational base after completing the reconnaissance work, which could be used to house the fixed space-time gate behind them, which was still open. So that the personnel and materials of the expedition can effectively support the frontline operations. If there are casualties or loot on the front line, they can also be sent back as soon as possible.

This base of operations can be set up on a remote planet like Tatooine or on a native ship. It doesn't matter which option you choose. He had to make sure that the space-time door that led to the rear was secured, as it was their lifeline.

In addition to this, the Master Chief has a number of sub-tasks to deal with, most of which are material procurement and intelligence gathering tasks. The Star Wars plane has a lot of magical technological products, and they also need as much information as possible to confirm the situation they are currently in.

The last time the pilot team visited this plane, they only discovered that it was the early days of the Galactic Empire, and that the Galactic Council, a remnant of the Old Republic more than a decade ago, had just been dissolved by the Emperor more than a year ago. Now is the peak of the Galactic Empire's power.

Other than that, they know almost nothing about the inner workings of what is now the Galactic Empire. Even the approximate location of the protagonists in the movie is not determined. In view of this, intelligence gathering must be at the forefront of this phase.

While they were exploring the outside world, in another remote galaxy more than 10,000 light-years away, an army far more powerful than them was looking for clues left by their enemies as they fled.

The Galactic Empire is a vast empire that rules over hundreds of thousands of planets. There will always be room for opponents to live in the vast territory. Mosma and Bell. The rebel alliance led by Organa and other well-known political figures has been fighting against the Galactic Empire politically and militarily for many years.

Unlike in the movie, these Star Lords and Governors, who control at least an entire planetary system, are not acting against the Empire out of any righteousness. The reason why they risked their lives against a powerful empire was purely for personal or family reasons.

In the Republic Age about 20 years ago, these star lords were able to rule their own planetary systems at will. The Galactic Republic at the time was more of a loose confederation. Perform the Vessel Master Realisation throughout the galaxy. Each has its own policy.

In that context, the Star Lords and Governors only need to attend important meetings of the Galactic Council regularly and pay a small amount of taxes to be able to become Earth Emperors in their own territory and indirectly decide the fate of trillions of living beings.

But when the Galactic Empire was established, the good days of their autonomy came to an end. In order to strengthen his control over the galaxy, the emperor greatly reduced the autonomy of the star lords in various places, and imposed heavy taxes to maintain the increasingly large military expenditures.

This was certainly not something that the Star Lords and Governors everywhere wanted to see, at a time when the Empire was still allowing the Galactic Council to save zài. They also mainly used guò lobbying and other means to win over other planets, and organized political alliances to jointly put pressure on the emperor. Fight for the political rights they deem reasonable.

After the Galactic Council was completely abolished by the Emperor a year ago, the Star Lords shifted the focus of their struggle to armed confrontation. The rebel alliance has its own fleet and a complete military system, although it is far from enough to confront the Imperial fleet head-on, but they can use guò guerrilla warfare to severely attack the supply lines and poorly defended rear bases of the Imperial fleet.

Although the damage caused by such an attack is not particularly severe, it can severely damage the prestige of the empire. And this vast military empire has firmly grasped its authority by relying on everyone's fear of its force.

As this fear was gradually dispelled, the foundations of the empire began to shake slightly. Seeing that the Imperial fleet could not quickly destroy these rebels, the ambitious star lords in all corners of the galaxy and the few politicians who truly pursued freedom and liberation saw an opportunity.

They are united. Secretly financed the rebels, and even sent people to participate in strikes against enemy countries. The rebels' strength became more and more defeated in the battle, and gradually they were able to compete with the small Imperial fleet.

In order to suppress these rebels, the Emperor sent the most powerful warplanes of the empire to destroy the rebels. At this time, the Imperial fleet chasing the rebels had an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer with a length of nearly 20 kilometers and dozens of Emperor-class Star Destroyers.

The Executor's firepower alone is equivalent to one-eighth of that of Death Star One, enough firepower to completely vaporize the entire ocean on an entire terrestrial planet in a matter of minutes. Concentrated in one point is enough to instantly blow up a large crater thousands of kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers deep.

If you use this kind of firepower on a planet, the biosphere of any planet will be destroyed in an instant. However, even the Executor Super Star Destroyer, which has such powerful firepower, is far from being called "the Empire's strongest combat power".

More than a year ago by Luke. The Death Star destroyed by Skywalker can barely get such an evaluation. And in this Imperial fleet chasing the rebels, the strongest combat power is not this seemingly powerful Executor Super Star Destroyer.

The strongest fighter in this fleet is actually a tall man who is obscured by a breathing mask and a cloak. At this moment, in the wide Cambridge of the Executor's Super Star Destroyer, a low breathing sound was hitting everyone's ears heavily.

Every operating station in Cambridge is crowded with operators, who are almost fully engaged in the task at hand, and do not dare to burn out in the slightest. They can't afford to slack off, because everyone knows that the heavy breathing behind them is from the undefeated myth of the Empire, Lord Vader, who is habitually called the "Black Knight"!

Vader is a close confidant of the Emperor, and while no one knows for sure where he came from before the Clone Wars, in the nearly 20 years since the Emperor ascended the throne, he has defeated every enemy he faced, whether it was the Jedi Knights left over from the Old Republic or the most tenacious rebels in the corners of the galaxy.

As the saying goes, the shadow of the famous tree of people, in the process of uninterrupted elimination of the enemies of the empire for more than ten consecutive years, Vader, who has not tasted defeat, has long been mythologized as a symbol of the undefeated force of the empire. No matter what, the bold rebel members can't help but feel a stir in their hearts when they hear his name.

And within the Imperial fleet, Vader's reputation is even more feared than his reputation among his enemies. This was due to the fact that he was widely regarded as the most demanding commander of his subordinates, and of all the senior fleet commanders of the Imperial Army, Vader was recognized as the most powerful and unsympathetic one.

He was the representative of the emperor's will and had all kinds of privileges. Anyone who showed disrespect or incompetence in his own duties before him, Lord Vader, on behalf of the Emperor, eliminated that person. Everyone knew that only the Emperor in the Empire could command Lord Vader, and as for the others, no matter how high he climbed in the Empire's power ladder, it would not affect the Emperor's spokesperson.

Even the 12 marshals of the Imperial Army, who wield the highest military maneuver, had no right to mobilize or interfere with any of Lord Vader's actions. Not only that, but according to the Emperor's orders, when Lord Vader's request for assistance was requested, they had to do their best to meet them.

It is because of this seemingly boundless privilege that Vader has another less widely known nickname within the Empire, the Black Prince, an unofficial title that comes from within the Imperial fleet.

Although the purpose of the man who weaved the moniker was to stir up distrust between Vader and the Emperor, the popularity of the epithet itself shows how realistic the description is, and the moniker does reflect Vader's position in the imperial system of power quite accurately.

PS: First of all, thank you for the monthly pass of "Donglai Ziguang, pandaboy", because of last night's incident, I slept most of the day today, and finally coded this chapter so late. Anyone who knows a little bit about the background of Star Wars should have seen the series of foreshadowing ahead, and should have seen the specific time period in which the story takes place.

The later stories will gradually become more exciting, the protagonists in the movie will appear one after another, and some classic characters and plots in Star Wars Gaiden and games will also be revealed, so stay tuned.
