"A mysterious person killed Lorne Pavan? There is also a Hutt's body at the scene?" Hearing Darth Maul's report, Darth Sidious pondered.
Darth Maul knelt in front of Sidious. The clothes on his body were torn a lot by the explosion, and there were many wounds on his body that were still oozing blood, but he didn't care about the injuries on his body, he just replied very seriously: "That's right, in the darkness, I didn't see his face clearly. But he dodged my first assault on him, and then he detonated the Bomb, and I didn't have any more chances to touch him."
"And as you said, Lorne Pavan's holographic memory was also destroyed, and it was still placed in a conspicuous position on his chest... This means that the other party also came for this memory." Darth Sidious wrinkled Brows, "But my lord didn't mention this matter to me. It stands to reason that if he sends someone else to solve this matter, he should tell me. The matter of blocking Planet Naboo is no small matter. If it cannot be confirmed, The invasion will be difficult to launch!"
Darth Maul didn't dare to express any opinion on this. He had also met Darth Plagueis a few times. He was also full of fear for this extremely powerful Sith Lord, so naturally, he didn't dare to have any opinions.
Sidious glanced at Darth Maul, and suddenly asked: "What kind of person is that mysterious man? Force-Sensitive? Jedi Knight? Or, another Sith?"
"I feel no sign of The Force..." Darth Maul said.
"Not feeling The Force doesn't mean he's not a Jedi or a Sith, maybe he's trained well to hide Force fluctuations," Darth Sidious said.
"But..."
"Enough, you step back, I will handle this matter."
"As ordered."
After Darth Maul left, Sidious turned around and looked at the Coruscant industrial area densely covered with industrial machinery, his expression gradually turned grim.
...
However, although the memory was destroyed by Darth Malthael, the invasion of Planet Naboo still failed...
For the Trade Federation, it can really be said that the house is leaking and raining overnight.
Because when Nute Gunray was committed to hunting down Lorne Pavan, problems also occurred in the expansion of the Trade Federation in another direction.
7 years ago in 39BBY, a satellite of Planet Alaris in the Kashyyyk Sector - Alaris 1 was found to contain rich resources, so the residents of Planet Kashyyyk, the Wookiees asked the Galactic Republic for a colonization license and has been applied for and ready to carry out colonization work.
But when they landed on the satellite, they found that the Trade Federation had already arrived first, was establishing a base on the Alaris 1 satellite, and had a large-scale battle with a local uncivilized intelligent creature called the Gundaks.
The Trade Federation at that time had already been sanctioned by the Galactic Republic, prohibiting them from establishing any colonies. So after the Wookie leader Attichitcuk failed to negotiate several times with the Trade Federation, an armed conflict broke out between the two sides.
This armed conflict has been fought for a while, stopped for a while, talked about and continued for a while, and it has been like this for seven years. Recently, the Trade Federation finally seriously injured Attichitcuk, but when they thought they were sure of winning, Attichitcuk's son Chewbacca stepped forward.
Under the talented leadership of Chewbacca, the Wookiee armies repeatedly thwarted the Trade Federation Droid forces. And 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 be advancing by leaps and bounds.
So here, Nute Gunray had just received the news that Lorne Pavan was dead and the matter of the holographic memory had been resolved, so he hurriedly prepared to besiege Planet Naboo. There came the news that the main base of the Trade Federation of the Alaris 1 satellite had been captured by the Wookiees, and Pector, the Regional Senior Official who commanded the operation, left his troops and fled in embarrassment.
This is not counted, because the Trade Federation suffered a heavy loss on the Alaris 1 satellite, its reputation has also fallen to the bottom, and many fools have also fallen into trouble.
As a result, news of the Trade Federation's genocide of the Gundaks on the Alaris 1 satellite and the construction of an illegal Droid Factory on Planet Eos came one after another. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum has waited too long for the day when the Trade Federation will be deflated, and immediately announced a new round of investigations and sanctions against the Trade Federation.
The devastated Nute Gunray had to continue to postpone the plan to siege Planet Naboo. He went back and forth again and again, but in the end, 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 raged at this because Nute Gunray is in a sense his man, Nute Gunray keeps having problems, and it's Darth Plagueis who cleans up the mess that made Sidious feel a very serious crisis.
...
The Trade Federation is having a tough time, and so is the Jedi Order.
Because too many things have happened recently, the civil war on Planet Cerea is basically in a state of no one's control. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi who originally wanted to solve this civil war couldn't because of the Yinchorri Now riots and battles on the Alaris 1 satellite stalled, and this civil war intensified.
With nearly 100,000 technology prisoners in the three prison cities rioting and joining Elder Dorr-Femi-Bonmi's Technology Movement, the strength of the Technology Movement skyrocketed, and they once attacked the outskirts of the capital Tecave.
But Elder Layton bought a batch of tanks from the Technology Federation at a high price and sent Elder Dorr's Army back. After that, Elder Dorr also bought a batch of Anti-Tank Rocket Launchers, and the front began to seesaw again.
The scale of the civil war is getting bigger and bigger, and many people began to deal with this issue calmly, so various anti-war movements were launched one after another. They used their own methods to launch demonstrations and petitions, hoping that the major warlords in the civil war would stop the war and start peace negotiations.
Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi's daughter Sylvn is also a member of the anti-war organization. She uses her father's reputation on Planet Cerea to go around and is busy with the anti-war cause.
However, not long before, a terrible thing finally happened!
When Sylvn participated in an anti-war parade, the parade team clashed with some fanatics. In the chaos, Sylvn was shot in the chest by a killer hidden in the crowd and died on the spot!
Knowing the news of his daughter's assassination, the reclusive Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was furious and spewed out a mouthful of blood, and the force lingering around him even began to take on a trace of the power of the dark side!
