2229 、 Five Star Alliance (Below)
Galactic Republic, Core Circle, Planet Coruscant.
Mas-Amida was walking quickly in the wide corridor of the Galactic Council's office. He was a Chagriya with light blue skin and a pair of slender horns on his head. There were also two horns hanging down from the sides of his head. Coupled with his tall stature and the scepter in his hand, he looked extremely majestic.
As the Deputy Chairman of the Galactic Council, Mas-Amida appeared calm at all times. He had been through the era of the former Chairman Valorum and had also worked hard under the current Chairman Palpatine. He held the deepest and darkest secrets in the Milky Way, and even knew the other side of Palpatine. Because of this, his work was even calmer.
Most of the time, when Palpatine was busy with government affairs, it was Mas-Amida who helped him deal with the quarrels in the council. Most of the time, he only needed to stand there and he could create an unparalleled aura, eliminating the quarrels without a trace.
But now, the calmness on Mas-Amida's face had disappeared, replaced by a trace of panic. Even his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. His footsteps were disorderly, and with a bang, he stumbled into Palpatine's office.
Shiv Palpatine, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head and looked at his Deputy Speaker with an unhappy expression. "What is it that has you so panicked?"
Mas-Amida panted and said, "Sir Chairman, something has happened in the Corellia Galaxy!! They suddenly detained all spaceships in their territory, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Corellia Galaxy! "
Palpatine's expression changed when he heard this. He stood up abruptly and asked, "What about Iblis and Councilor Merikop? Ask them to come and explain immediately!! "
The Corellia Galaxy was the largest trading galaxy in the Milky Way. It was equivalent to America's California, or Huaxia's Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta. Every day, countless spaceships entered and left the Corellia Galaxy, transporting trillions of tons of goods to every corner of the Milky Way. They would also eat trillions of tons of all kinds of goods. And now, the Corellia Galaxy had suddenly detained all transport spaceships. Even if it was only for a day, it was a very heavy blow to the Republic!!
Mas-Ameda wiped his sweat and shook his head. "Iblis returned to the Corellian Star System a month ago. He said that he was going back to mediate the racial conflicts in the star system. And Merrickop left four days ago, saying that her mother had passed away, and that she was going home to take care of the household, and would be back in a week at the most. "
"So, at this time, the two Corellian councilors are not in Coruscant, hehe." Palpatine's expression became increasingly ugly. "If I'm not mistaken, the remaining Corellian people on Coruscant don't know what happened in the Corellian Galaxy, right?"
"That's true. We've asked a few high-ranking officials from Corellia on Coruscant, but none of them know what happened." He took a deep breath and said, "The Corellian Galaxy has always had an isolationist tendency. When the war first broke out, Iblis once proposed to make the Corellian Galaxy neutral, but he was rejected. But this time, their sudden seizure of all the transport ships was too forceful. I'm worried … "
Palpatine knocked on the table and said, "To put it bluntly, the Corellians are a group of merchants. They won't do meaningless things. Once they do this, there must be a reason, and they must have something to rely on. Corellia is now completely under our control. The fleet on Coruscant will respond in three days at the most and arrive at Corellia. Where did they get the courage to do this? "
"So …" Mas-Ameda still wanted to say something, but Palpatine raised his hand and interrupted him. He then connected to Councilor Iblis's communication.
Iblis's holographic image appeared in front of him. He was wearing a purple robe, and there was a bright red cloak on his right shoulder. He looked classical and majestic. He bowed slightly to Palpatine and said, "Long time no see, Mr. President."
A fierce glint flashed in Palpatine's eyes, but he still said politely, "I remember we just met a month ago, Councilor Iblis. We haven't met for a month. Is there anything you want to say to me? "
"Ah, please forgive me for being busy recently and not having the time to inform you. I am no longer a councilor of Corellia. I have officially been sworn in as the first executive officer of the Five Star Alliance, "Iblis said very politely.
Palpatine's fist under the table suddenly clenched, and the furniture around him suddenly trembled violently. A very expensive painting was instantly torn into countless pieces by an invisible force! But his expression was extremely calm. He smiled and said, "Then I have to congratulate you, executive officer. Five Star Alliance, not a bad name. It suits your Corellia Galaxy very well. Also, you started out as a trader, and have endless wealth in your galaxy. I believe you have enough ability to protect yourselves … You see, the separatists are so rampant now. I really don't know what will happen … "
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. President. We have already used an isolation field to seal off the entire Corellia Galaxy. It will probably take a few years to travel to the main planets of our galaxy at sub-light speed. During this period of time, we can still respond adequately, "Iblis said.
"Isolation field, huh? This technology isn't that reliable … "Palpatine said coldly.
"Actually, I think so too, but there's no other way. I can only take advantage of the situation, hehe …" Iblis put on a fake smile and showed a mocking expression. "Ah, right, Mr. President. As the first executive officer, I am very busy, so I won't be chatting with you anymore. Hmm … We have coincidentally discovered that the TD-10036-EM-1271 galaxy has a very spectacular space scenery. I believe you will be very interested. "
With that, he unceremoniously turned off the communication.
Schiff Palpatine's face was ashen. He slammed his fist on the office table and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He opened his personal terminal and searched for a while. "The TD-10036-EM-1271 galaxy is an uninhabited galaxy in the middle circle expansion zone. It is located in Sector J-15, and contains two rocky planets and a very small star. This galaxy used to have some minerals, but they were all mined out a few thousand years ago. Now, there is not a single person there. "
As he spoke, he tapped on the office table, and a holographic star map appeared in the middle of the office. This galaxy was barren as expected. A small star and two planets, with countless potholes left on the planet. This was the entirety of the TD-10036-EM-1271 galaxy. There was not even a superfluous asteroid.
"If there is nothing there, why does he want us to look at it?" Mas Ameda looked at the star map and asked curiously.
"He wants us to see the beautiful scenery of this galaxy, so let's see it. Where is the nearest unit to Sector J-15? "Palpatine asked.
Mas Ameda opened his terminal and looked it up. He answered, "The Eighth Army's jurisdiction is the closest."
Palpatine nodded. "Send the coordinates to Vanko, the governor of the Eighth Army. Have him send a spaceship to check it out immediately! Be quick! I want to know the results as soon as possible!! "
"Yes!" Mas Ameda immediately began to send a message to Vanko.
Palpatine sat down again and crossed his arms to support his chin. His expression was gloomy, and he did not say a word. He was as still as a statue, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Mas Ameda raised his hand and waved. He took out a light orb from his communicator and walked over to Palpatine. He said, "The Eighth Army happens to have a geological exploration ship near Sector J-15. They immediately went to the TD-10036-EM-1271 galaxy for a scan. And it's here. "
Palpatine's posture did not change at all. He only nodded slightly. Mas Ameda placed the light orb on the office table. The data was immediately read out, and the holographic star map projected in the middle of the office changed again.
A small star hovered alone at the center of the galaxy, and countless fragments and asteroids were scattered around it. The two rocky planets that should have been there were gone!!
Mas Ameda gasped, "How is this possible!!! This … this … did Vanko get the wrong coordinates?? Where are the planets? Where are the planets? "
"Hehehehehe … hehehehehe …" Palpatine was extremely calm. He just burst into a low and distorted laughter. It was his original voice, the voice of Darth Sidious!!
"Good! Very good! Hehehehe … very good …!! " Palpatine said. His eyes had turned into a terrifying golden color, and his pupils had shrunk to the size of needle tips. "They have destroyed these two planets, and it is indeed something that happened recently! Because over time, these fragments will form an asteroid belt under the gravitational force of the star … They have actually mastered something that can destroy a planet in an instant!! Hehehehe … very good! Very good!! "
Mas Ameda's expression was solemn. "This is not good news!! If they have such an ability, then Coruscant is not safe!! They can use this thing to threaten us, and if we don't agree, they can even destroy Coruscant!! "
"Hehehehehe …" Palpatine was still laughing sinisterly. "I've said it before, the Corellians are ultimately merchants. They will not do anything that is not profitable. Destroying Coruscant will only make them the public enemy of the entire Milky Way Galaxy. There is no benefit to them! They will not even destroy any planet that has any economic value. They chose this uninhabited Galaxy to intimidate us, to tell us that this thing can be used as many times as they want. That is why they first used it on a worthless Galaxy. On the other hand, this target is low-key and secretive enough, which means that they do not want to make a big deal out of it … "Palpatine's face showed a greedy expression.
"You are saying that the Corellians are using this thing to force us to recognize their independence!!" Mas Ameda said.
"That's right! The only unusual thing in the Corellian Galaxy is that pile of scrap metal from 100,000 years ago. From the looks of it, this thing was not some scrap metal, but a powerful weapon! Yes … a weapon! A weapon that can end a war in an instant! A weapon that can make the entire Milky Way Galaxy kneel before me! This is … the weapon of God!! " Palpatine roared hysterically. He raised his hands to the sky, and his skinny hands grabbed at the sky like sharp claws, as if he was trying to grab something firmly in his hands. "Yes! I want this thing!! I want this thing!! At all costs!!! Hehehehehe … hahahahaha … "
…
Milky Way Galaxy, Outer Rim, Planet Lasax 4.
Tang Yu was practically brought to the office by Count Dooku. Without any deliberate resistance, Tang Yu, who was only 1.72 meters tall, was indeed petite in front of Count Dooku, who was 1.93 meters tall.
"The Corellian Galaxy is independent! They formed the Five Star Alliance and left the Galactic Republic!! " Count Dooku was practically roaring as he spat saliva at Tang Yu. "What do you know!! Is this what you were talking about?! "
"I think you should put me down first." Tang Yu sighed softly and said helplessly.
Count Dooku waved his hand, and the sofa next to him flew over by itself under the influence of the Force. He then threw Tang Yu on the sofa and said coldly, "Speak!"
Tang Yu controlled the butler robot next to him and took a handkerchief from it to wipe his face clean. He then threw the handkerchief away in disgust. He had no interest in an old man's saliva. Then he said slowly, "Actually, this is just a coincidence. In the Corellian Galaxy, at the Lagrange point between the twin planets Talus and Tralus, there is a 100,000-year-old creation station. And I, unintentionally, obtained the activation method of this great creation … "
"You saw it from the fragments of fate again?" Count Dooku asked sarcastically.
"Whether you believe it or not, I do know the secret that the Corellian scientists have not been able to uncover for thousands of years. Other than fate, what else could it be? You should also know that the Force is omnipotent! Since ancient times, countless Jedi Warriors and Sith have not been able to study the Force thoroughly, let alone us. "Tang Yu looked as if he didn't believe it.
"So, you chose to tell this secret to the Corellians!! Don't you know that if we can seize the midpoint, the war will end immediately!? "Count Dooku roared.
