Another year passed, and the Milky Way entered 27BBY.
During this year, the current Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, showed his fangs. He first used the Outbound Flight Project to find the handle of the Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda and then used his own identity of Darth Sidious to make the Deputy Chancellor completely surrender.
Next, with Mas Amedda at his side, Sheev Palpatine went out and wiped out all the Political Groups that wanted to use him during his first term.
This can only be said to be the retribution of the cycle of heaven. These Political Groups think that Palpatine is weak and deceitful, so they use him to seek a lot of self-interest, but now, all those who have done this have fallen into the palm of Palpatines hand. Either they were reduced to Palpatine's Political Puppets, or they were hit by Palpatine using these handles to never be reborn, or even imprisoned.
This series of means made Palpatine's strength in the Galactic Senate more and more inflated. Those Senators were surprised to find that Palpatine, who was as docile as a kitten a year ago, had grown into a terrifying Political Giant, he can even influence the decision-making of the Senate with every gesture.
Sadly, however, these victims didn't realize that Palpatine didn't just want them to be ordinary victims. For a Politician like Palpatine, his every action must have a clear purpose, and many different purposes will be involved.
It would be foolish for Palpatine to take care of a person just to take care of a person.
The nasty things that these Political Groups did before were all exposed by Palpatine through various channels, and they immediately became Corrupt Senators in the minds of the people and Senators, moths of the Republic, and even more serious - being detained for digging the Separatist Movement at the foot of the Republic!
The things they did caused extremely bad effects, but Palpatine had no intention of helping them clean up the mess at all but was just busy throwing the blame on these people.
This has led to a further deterioration of the political environment of the Republic, and the Senate's credibility has dropped to a very dangerous situation, and because of Palpatine's practice of wooing the Inner Ring and the Inner Ring Planets and suppressing the Outer Ring Planets, the ultimate victims of these things are the Outer Ring Planets.
But no one thinks that this is Palpatine's fault, it is the fault of those Corrupt Senators! Palpatine, who brought these Senators to justice, was packaged as a hero who bravely stood up to fight against corruption and evil forces in the dark age of the Galactic Republic!
On the other side, Dawn Senator Francis Underwood is also constantly active. This time, facing Palpatine's almost unstoppable trend, he immediately changed his strategy, allowing himself to transform, from opposing Palpatine's Outer Rim vanguard turned champion against corrupt forces.
He constantly accused those Senators who caused losses to the Outer Ring Planets due to corruption in the Senate, and constantly exposed the Political Puppets that Palpatine tried to shelter, exposing more darkness.
Now that he has given up his position of confronting Palpatine, he has turned to fight against those corrupt and evil forces. On the contrary, because of Francis' revelation, Palpatine had to deal with some Senators whom he originally planned to protect and manipulate.
In this chaotic year, the Outbound Flight Project was launched as scheduled.
Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth organized 6 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers loaded with 50,000 Pioneers and set off for the Unknown Regions under the leadership of 6 Jedi Masters.
Although Palpatine used the corruption in this Jorus C'baoth to drive Deputy Chancellor Mas Amedda to the end, he did not completely terminate the project.
Because of the arrogant character of Jorus C'baoth, he could easily foresee the failure of this plan, and if he could eliminate 6 Jedi Masters and dozens of Jedi Apprentices and Jedi Knights at once through this plan, it would be even more perfect.
Things that happen in the Unknown Regions are all unknown, aren't they? Palpatine installed a few of his own people in the Exploration Group, ready to sabotage the Exploration Plan.
But Jorus C'baoth knew nothing about it. He also proudly declared that the honor of this exploration project belonged to the Jedi Order and demanded absolute authority among the Exploration Group.
All of this Palpatine agreed with a smile.
Then... just wait for the complete failure of the Outbound Flight Project and the discredit of the Jedi Order.
...
It was also in this year that the war on Tatooine finally reached a decisive step.
With the appearance of the Gardulla Command Carrier and the personal end of the Besadii Family, the struggle between the two Hutt families, the Besadii Family and the Desilijic Family, has also become clear. It has also reached the point of being blatant.
If it weren't for the majesty of the Grand Hutt Council, almost both of them wanted to use the Fleet!
The Hutt Gardulla Besadii, who has received sufficient supplies, has also stiffened her back. Under the leadership of the current leader of the Scourge, Magtan-Scar, the Gardulla Command Carrier built a more powerful Combat Vehicle.
SA2-17 Phalanx-class Armored Assault Vehicle. It is 30 meters long, and its Main Weapon is a 50mm Caliber Seven-Tube Gatling Cannon with a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
And a 114-meter-long land monster-the Zenith-class Armored Capital Ship, equipped with Two Dual-Mounted Heavy Rapid Fire Cannons and 8 Quadruple-Mounted Missile Launchers.
When the Gardulla Command Carrier led this terrifying Armored Force across the sandstorm to attack the outskirts of Mos Eisley again, Jabba the Hutt found that what he was proud of, from Yuri Orlov, the T-24 Airspeeder he brought is nothing.
Stealthy Banshee Fighter bombed and harassed the city of Mos Eisley continuously, flexible SJF-14 Fighters defended the ground troops in the sky, and SCV started building Missile Towers every place it went, and the Long Arrow Surface-To-Air Missile Systems. This was a fatal blow to all the Bounty Hunter Spaceships who want to come to support!
The MNLAV-21 Pathfinder Light Attack Vehicle constantly harassed every part of the city with its speed.
Manipulating these terrifying Weapons of war are the Kaleesh Mercenaries of Atlas Security! They have rich combat experience, ferocious, cunning, and merciless, plus Magtan-Scar, who has gone crazy because of his brother's death.
This is already a Full-Fledged Army with strong combat effectiveness, and it is specially born for Desert Warfare, and it is a brutal and terrifying Army!
In the face of this Army, Jabba is no longer able to survive.
Although Jabba the Hutt has unparalleled wealth and a Criminal Empire, like Black Sun, all his power is composed of only a small number of direct forces and the vast majority of Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters. Such a mob is impossible to rival such an Army.
