The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2143: The Shaking of the Technology Alliance

2144: The Shaking of the Technology Alliance

The Prime Minister of the planet Rosa, Torreso-Bore, and four other top leaders wanted by the Galactic Empire committed suicide during the live broadcast, which completely ignited the flames of resistance on the planet Rosa.

  In order to respond to Order 37, and to respond to the despicable behavior of the Galactic Empire using civilians as hostages and forcing them to surrender, Torreso-Bore's choice is to die for his country!

Because even though the resistance on the planet is still fierce, when this war has just begun, everyone's enthusiasm is still high. But as the war continues, after a few months, or even half a year or a year, how much of this enthusiasm will remain?

So at that time, when the Galactic Empire repeatedly used civilians as hostages to intimidate, there must have been many people who wavered under the tyranny. Not only that, in the long run, many people might also put the blame for the war on a few people like Torreso-Borey.

Therefore, Torreso-Bore directly eliminated this problem from the root. He vowed to fight the Galactic Empire to the end! Therefore, he chose to commit suicide and martyrdom, making Order 37 impossible to implement.

Since all the wanted criminals are dead, what are you doing with the civilian hostages in the Galactic Empire? Who are you going to let surrender?

Now all resistance movements on the planet Rosa are directed by the Rosa Resistance Committee, but who are the members of the committee? Anyone can be a member, but anyone can also not be a member.

  Darth Vader did this at the beginning. He asked the planet Rosa to hand over the members of the Rosa Resistance Committee, but soon more than a dozen people who claimed to be members of the committee came forward to turn themselves in. However, after they were all shot, the resistance movement on the planet Rosa was still organized and fierce, and even carried a deep hatred!

After repeating this several times, Darth Vader also lost his patience. He issued an order that Order 37 was no longer aimed at a certain person, but at everyone who took up arms against the Imperial Army! No matter who it was, no matter how many there were! As long as there were still people on this planet who resisted the Galactic Empire, then Order 37...

Never stop!

  An endless stream of imperial troops poured out of the transport ships and launched an attack on every city on the planet Rosa!

"Since you have chosen death, then death will come." Darth Vader's terrifying black armor appeared on every screen on the planet.

The Imperial Fleet had already invaded the planet's communication network through electronic interference, and even if they wanted to switch channels, they couldn't do it. As long as they turned on the holographic video, Darth Vader's terrifying voice and horrific threats would be played repeatedly!

  However, doing so will only make everyone on the planet Rosa realize the true nature of the Galactic Empire!

They don't really care about Torreso-Bore, or even any life on this planet! All they really care about is the wealth and resources on the planet!

This is a robbery! A robbery against the Trade Union!

Unless you can accept the outcome of having all your property taken away and being sold to an illegal mine, you have no choice but to fight to the end!

……

Skako, the planet in the inner core of the Milky Way.

This is the home planet of the Skako people and also the headquarters of the Techno Union - yes, the Techno Union is also a super corporate giant located in the core circle.

The Techno Union is a giant that controls a number of scientific research companies, precision processing companies, and heavy manufacturing industries. Industrial giants like Kuat Power Dockyard are peripheral members of the Trade Union, but they are core members of the Techno Union. It was not until after the Eriadu terrorist attack that Kuat Power Dockyard withdrew from the Trade Union and Techno Union.

Not only that, during the heyday of the Techno Union, in addition to Kuat Drive Dockyard, even industrial giants such as Corellia Engineering and Blastotech Industries (almost all blasters are produced by this company) were also members of the Techno Union.

In other words, two of the three largest industrial giants in the Milky Way were members of the Techno-Union, which showed their enormous power. Only Rendili Interstellar Dynamics was originally a consortium of countless shipyard owners, so naturally they would not join another consortium.

At its peak, the Techno Union also imitated the Trade Union, obtained a seat in the Galactic Republic, and began to invest in politics. However, the Techno Union's organizational structure was looser than that of the Trade Union. Therefore, although a large number of super industrial giants joined, those industrial giants would not obey the Techno Union's instructions, and the two sides were more of a cooperative relationship.

Therefore, the Techno Union could not obtain the same political status from the Galactic Republic as the Trade Union. Even the Techno Union's members in the parliament were also members of the Skako planet. Unlike the Trade Union and the Interstellar Banking Association, they did not have their own independent members.

As Count Dooku launched the separatist movement and the political situation in the Galactic Republic became unstable, super industrial giants such as Corellian Engineering Corporation, Kuat Dockyard, and Blastotech Industries withdrew from the Techno Union one after another, which also caused the Techno Union to begin to decline and continue to weaken.

Therefore, under the leadership of Grand Foreman Walter Tambor, the Techno Union decided to take a gamble and joined the Separatism, becoming a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

  Walter Tambor also planned to follow the example of the Trade Federation, betting on both sides between the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, making money on both sides, but how could they compare with the Trade Federation? The Trade Federation said that the Galactic Republic couldn't even collect taxes in the Outer Rim Star Region, so what could the Techno Union say?

Therefore, when the Clone Wars broke out, the Galactic Republic did not directly attack Skako, but that was mainly because Skako's defense was very strong, and it would be more costly to force an attack when the Grand Army of the Republic was just established. However, the Galactic Republic still froze all assets of the Techno Union in the areas under its control, closed their factories, and ordered the companies that joined the Techno Union to withdraw from the alliance.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Techno Union hated the Galactic Republic and made great contributions in the war. They were also the second force after Dawn to destroy an entire legion of the Galactic Republic - they captured Ryloth and destroyed the Republic's 14th Army.

However, as the war progressed, Dawn began to provide more and more technical and industrial support to the Confederation of Independent Systems. Therefore, apart from its insufficient size, the other services provided by Dawn to the Confederation of Independent Systems actually overlapped with those of the Technology Alliance.

Moreover, the performance of the warships and fighters on Planet Dawn far exceeded what the Techno Union could provide. In addition, since the withdrawal of Kuat Power Dockyard and Corellia Engineering, the Techno Union's ability to design and manufacture large capital ships has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, the advantage of the Techno-Union in the Confederation of Independent Systems became smaller and smaller, and many orders were given to the planet Dawn.

This was even more true after the subsequent naval reform of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Almost half of the warship models of the new generation of the Confederation of Independent Systems Navy were provided by the Planet Dawn.

The Techno Union did not fail to make efforts, and they launched their own battleship design - the Bulwark-class battleship. However, this battleship was launched too late, and although Count Dooku placed a large number of orders in order to balance the Dawn Planet, the number of Bulwark-class battleships that were finally built was not large.

The Techno Union, feeling threatened, began to waver in their determination to fight the Galactic Republic. Foreman Walter Tambor began to secretly contact the Galactic Republic and began to explore the possibility of returning to the Republic.

However, the Galactic Republic was no longer the same as it was at the beginning of the war. They wanted to accept the Techno Union, but naturally they had conditions. They asked the Techno Union to disclose the military secrets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, especially some warship technologies of the Dawn Planet. However, Walter Tambor was indecisive, worried that if he really did so, the Confederacy of Independent Systems would soon fail, and the Techno Union would lose its value.

So under such circumstances, the Techno Union kept wavering, until the Confederacy of Independent Systems was defeated in the Battle of Salukami, and they made up their minds to surrender to the Galactic Republic.

Such a result will naturally not be good. Can your surrender in 46 be the same as your surrender in 49?

Therefore, in the Galactic Empire, the Techno Alliance has surrendered a large amount of money, factories, and technology in order to survive, and has become a second-rate enterprise. Its former glory is no longer there.

The capital of the planet Skako is a very luxurious fortress. It used to be so magnificent and full of distinguished guests. Major industrial giants with countless resources gathered here. They could agree on the construction plan of hundreds of battleships with a nod, and start a new scientific research project worth hundreds of billions of credit points with a glass of wine...

But now, although it is still as luxurious as before, there is no one else in the spacious reception room except for a few cleaning robots.

Today, we had an unexpected visitor.

Sitting on a four-legged robot for transportation was a fat Neimoidian with an angry look on his face, walking towards the center.

"Ah... Mr. Lot-Dodd, the high and mighty representative of the Trade Union. What could a person like you do in our small, insignificant company?" Sitting on a tall chair was a Skako man who protected himself entirely with a protective suit - the foreman Walter Tambor.

The living environment of the Skako people is harmful to most other races. So if they want to go to other planets, the Skako people will wear protective clothing. In the reception room here, if there are guests from other races, this place will also be closed, and then the internal environment will be adjusted to the most suitable level.

Of course, this would make it impossible for the Skako people to survive, so even in his own home, Walter Tambor still wore protective clothing. Only in this way could he meet guests normally.

He twisted the knob on his protective suit and adjusted the tone of his voice. He sounded very serious. "The Technical Alliance is over. For the sake of our past friendship, I will not capture you for the bounty. Now, you should leave."

Lot Dude said angrily: "It's you who caused the Techno Union to be in this state! You knew that surrendering to the Galactic Empire would not have any good results, but you still insisted on doing it! Now you can see it! The Galactic Empire is a group of bandits. They are unable to support the arms race with the Principality of Dawn, so they can only attack the Trade Union! They are robbing! Naked robbery!"

"What does the robbery of your trade union have to do with me?" Walter Temple said coldly.

"Do you think Palpatine won't rob you? No! He will only be more determined! After the Trade Federation, the next one is you! The Skako people!" Lot-Dodd pointed at Walter Tambor's nose and said, "The Galactic Empire can only accommodate humans. Apart from humans, no other race will have living space! Not to mention that you once stood on the side of the Separatists!"

"We have nothing to lose," Watt Temple replied dejectedly.

"Then get back what you lost!" As a representative of the parliament, Lotte Dude was naturally eloquent. "Even if you still fail in the end, you don't have anything to lose, right?"

Walter Temple fell silent.

Lot-Dodd raised his voice and said loudly: "The Trade Union cannot hold out for too long on its own! We must need more assistance! Otherwise, we can only hold out for half a year at most! After half a year, you will have to fend for yourself!"

"...What about the Principality of Dawn? What is Tang Xiao's attitude?" Walter Tambor's voice became much softer.

"The Principality of Dawn cannot directly send a fleet to reinforce us, but they will provide us with all the help besides that," said Lot-Dude.

"Hmph! Any help other than the fleet? What else? Waving flags and shouting?" Walter Temple snorted coldly.

Lot-Dode's expression darkened. "Of course I won't tell you the details. But I will tell you that it is enough support for us to win in the end."

There was another moment of silence...

After a long while, Walter Tambor said again: "The Techno Union has reached this point. We need to worry about more than just the Techno Union. Behind us are the 2300 billion Skako people on the planet Skako. Compared to others, I understand the consequences of rebelling against the Galactic Empire better. I will not gamble with the lives of 1 billion people with you."

"I'm not going to ask you to take sides publicly," said Lotte-Doud. "I'm just coming to ask for something."

"What is that?" asked Walter Temple.

  "Scorpion Annihilator Robots, and Super Tanks."

[Note 1: The population of Skako is set to be between 100B and 500B, which is 1000 billion to 5000 billion. This fluctuation is too large. Moreover, the environment of Skako does not support the floating population of other races, so I just take an intermediate value. ]
