Chapter 2234: The Edge of Mandalorian Civil War

2235: On the Brink of Mandalore Civil War

The planet Mandalore has been in a long period of chaos since Grand Duchess Satine Kryze was controlled and launched a referendum to secede from the Galactic Republic.

This was originally a star region where the Neutral Galaxy Alliance, the Separatist forces and the Galactic Republic forces competed with each other. After the Mandalore planet lost its credibility in a random referendum, the Neutral Galaxy Alliance collapsed and things became complicated. Later, due to the failure of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the power situation in this star region became even more chaotic.

The planet of Mandalore itself, after the disappearance of Grand Duke Satine Kryze, has experienced the rule of former Prime Minister Almec, the rule of Death Watch Ascension Vizsla, and the period when Ascension Vizsla compromised and allowed Bo-Katan Kryze to serve as the Grand Duke of Mandalore.

The complex political power, complex interests, and complex alignments made it even impossible for the Galactic Empire to grasp the situation in the Mandalore sector, so it chose to wait and see.

In the current Mandalore sector, in addition to the planet Mandalore itself, there are 1500 system systems of the former Neutral Galaxy Alliance, remnant separatist forces, republican planets loyal to the Galactic Republic, power planets loyal to the Galactic Empire, neutral planets that remain absolutely neutral, as well as Severance Tann's fleet and the remnant fleet of the Second Galaxy Army of the Galactic Republic.

This long list of forces that makes people feel overwhelmed is the best annotation of the current chaotic situation in the Mandalore sector.

Moreover, the relationship between these forces is not a very fixed situation at all. For example, those planets that claim to be neutral are basically in a state of being whoever gives them milk will do whatever they want.

Therefore, it is impossible to integrate such a place in a short period of time.

Severance Tann also maintained a fleet here. She occupied Akiva, a not-so-large industrial base of the former Confederacy of Independent Systems, and gradually established a foothold in the Mandalore region. However, because the industrial scale of Akiva was not large, Severance Tann's fleet was not large either.

Her fleet is gradually establishing a kind of order, an order with her fleet as the arbitrator. All the planets in the Mandalore sector can come to her for anything, including fighting pirates, mediating disputes, etc. Although the fleet is small, it is more than enough to accomplish these things.

During these few years, the reputation of the Severance Tann Fleet has grown. If it were not for its still limited size, it would have been on the verge of replacing the planet Mandalore and becoming the overlord of this star region.

The planet Mandalore is still in chaos.

After Super Vizsla took power with the Death Watch, he could not get enough support due to the poor reputation of the Death Watch, so he had to turn to the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. However, Mandalore was too remote, and neither the Republic nor the Empire had enough energy to support him.

Oh, it's not right to say that they didn't support Transcendent-Vizla. To be precise, both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire did provide some assistance, ideologically.

Well... such as acknowledging the dominance of Super-Vizla, whitewashing the various antisocial crimes of the Death Watch, calling on the Mandalorians to accept the leadership of the Death Watch, and so on.

On the contrary, because the Mandalorians have great hatred for the Galactic Republic, although Grand Duchess Satine Kryze once made the Mandalorians let go of this hatred, with the disappearance of Grand Duchess Satine, the Mandalorians almost all believed that this was a conspiracy of the Galactic Republic.

So this incident made the Mandalorians have a deep hatred for the Galactic Republic. It's no wonder they are so extreme now, because from the perspective of the Mandalorians, we have laid down our weapons, and there is not even a military factory on the entire planet, but what have we gained? The beloved ruler was murdered by the Galactic Republic!

As a result, not only did Super-Vizla fail to get the support he wanted, but he had to face successive resistance and uprisings on the planet Mandalore.

So he had to seek help from the mastermind behind the scenes - Shen Jon, who accepted the title of Darth Tenebrous, and Tiber Zane, the young leader of the Zane Group.

Tiber Zahn provided Super-Vizla with a large amount of supplies and weapons, allowing him to establish his own reign of terror on Mandalore. However, these supports were paid for, and Super-Vizla needed to use assets on Mandalore to pay off the debts. If he could not pay back, the vicious mercenaries of the Zahn Group would come to collect the debts in person.

Super-Vizla had no idea that he had been abandoned. He was angry but dared not say anything about the actions of the Zahn Group. In order to get more funds and materials, he could only turn a blind eye and watch the Zahn Group plunder the cities on the planet Mandalore.

So what the people of Mandalore saw was that the Death Watch, who were usually so arrogant, became as obedient as kittens when facing those gangster-like thugs from the Zahn Group.

Such behavior has led to more and more resistance.

Even if Super Vizsla put on a show and pushed Grand Duchess Satine Kryze's sister, Bo-Katan Kryze, to the front and made her the new Grand Duchess of Mandalore.

The Galactic Empire, which has been supporting Ultra-Vizla ideologically, also took the opportunity to recognize Bo-Katan Kryze's title of Grand Duke.

However, Bo-Katan Kryze, who had witnessed the chaotic rule of Super-Vizla, could not accept this at all. But when she was about to fiercely resist Super-Vizla, a man appeared in front of her-Vitaly Orlov.

Vitaly Orlov had broken up with his arms dealer brother Yuri Orlov more than 20 years ago because of the civil war on the planet Selia. He left the Fourth Civilization and wandered around, and even became an idle thug on the streets. Because of this, Yuri Orlov and him had many quarrels during the communication.

Later, Vitali wandered around and ended up on the planet Mandalore.

During the years he lived on Mandalore, he witnessed Satine Kryze's various peaceful policies on the planet and saw how she led Mandalore, which was constantly devastated by war, to find a path to peace. So Vitaly Orlov believed that he had finally found the purpose of his life and he would work hard to achieve peace.

Therefore, Vitaly Orlov picked himself up again, continued to learn and improve. Later, Yuri Orlov also knew about his situation, so he gave him a large amount of financial help, and Vitaly Orlov also became an administrative official of the Mandalore planet.

Later, Vitaly Orlov was appreciated by Grand Duchess Satine and became her peace advisor. He began to assist Grand Duchess Satine in running around in various circles of the Galactic Republic and calling for peace.

  Afterwards, Grand Duchess Satine was controlled by Darth Tenebrous, and Mandalore held a referendum to secede from the Galactic Republic, which ignited the chaos in the Mandalore sector. In a series of disasters, Vitaly Orlov once again grew up. He realized that pure peace is useless. Even if you act harmless, everything is in vain in the face of interests. The order and peace promised by the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire are simply empty talk!

So in the next few years, Vitaly Orlov hid himself, avoided the pursuit of the Death Watch, and secretly developed his own resistance force.

Finally, he thought the time was right, so he appeared in front of Bo-Katan Kryze.

At this time, Vitaly Orlov is an elder who descends from his sister to Bo-Katan Kryze. His appearance finally makes Bo-Katan Kryze's young and energetic mind mature.

Vitali gave Bo-Katan-Kryze a profound analysis of the current situation of Mandalore and the various abnormalities of Super-Vizla, and then told her that what she saw in front of her might not be the real enemy. If she rashly jumped out to resist at this time, she would only be slapped to death by the black hand hidden behind the scenes.

So, Bo-Katan-Kryze began to secretly build up her own power, and continued to grow stronger while Super-Vizla was overwhelmed by the repeated riots and uprisings.

Vitali told Bo-Katan that Super-Vizla was just a pawn. But without enough variables, this pawn would not be abandoned so easily, and the mastermind behind the scenes would still manipulate Super-Vizla like a puppet to achieve his ulterior motives.

What we need now is to wait.

Vitaly Orlov has almost become Bo-Katan Kryze's mentor at this moment. He taught Bo-Katan many political insights and ways of dealing with people. If it were in the past, the rebellious girl Bo-Katan would never have accepted these things. However, after personally experiencing the various changes on the planet Mandalore, Bo-Katan Kryze also put away her former immaturity and began to see things from a larger perspective.

Then, the change finally came.

Jango Fett, the leader of the True Mandalorians, who were once one of the Mandalorian factions, suddenly made a comeback. The True Mandalorians' proposition is between the New Mandalorians who completely give up their weapons and take the path of peace, and the Death Watch who completely turn to extreme terrorism. They advocate peace but refuse to give up their weapons.

True Mandalorians agree that wars should not be waged, but they believe that the Mandalorian military tradition can be maintained by forming large-scale mercenaries.

However, 30 years ago, the True Mandalorian faction was plotted against by the Death Watch and with the interference of the Jedi Order, they were massacred by the Jedi Knights led by Master Dooku.

  Now, Jango Fett has finally let go of his past and returned to the planet Mandalore once again under the name of a Mandalorian warrior!

Along with Jango Fett were more than 20 real Mandalorian warriors and an unknown warrior wearing mecha numbered 117.

Although they seemed to be outnumbered, with just over 20 of them, they had destroyed military targets with thousands of defenders many times! Even the Death Guard warriors that Super Vizsla was proud of were no match for them.

Their equipment is extremely advanced, and their physical fitness is like that of monsters. They can even overturn armored vehicles with their bare hands!

Jango Fett claimed to have established the Mandalorian Restoration Army and demanded that Super-Vizla stop his perverse actions and hand over power.

Super Vizsla naturally couldn't agree, and he declared Jango Fett a traitor and a criminal, wanted worldwide. At the same time, he hid himself to avoid being beheaded by those super soldiers.

At this time, many of Super Vizsla's decrees were issued through Bo-Katan Kryze, and Bo-Katan became the one who appeared in public. Anyway, he didn't care whether Bo-Katan Kryze would be killed by those super soldiers.

This made Bo-Katan-Kryze increasingly dissatisfied, and she began to pretend to obey her on many things. As a result, this situation almost turned the planet Mandalore into a state of anarchy.

However, although it seems that Super Vizsla's reign has entered the countdown, it is still very difficult to truly defeat him.

The main reason is that Super-Vizla is now hiding in the satellite of Mandalore, Concordia. The administrative division of Concordia satellite in the Mandalore regime is an autonomous state. It is relatively independent and it is also the hometown of Super-Vizla. His rule here is very stable.

Not only that, after so many years of violent rule, Super Vizsla has also built a huge army of millions of people, which is also the basis for his continuous suppression of resistance movements. Now Super Vizsla seems to have begun to prepare for a possible civil war.

Vitaly Orlov has now left Mandalore and headed for the core of Hutt space, the smuggler's moon Nar Shaddaa, in order to search for the legacy left by his brother Yuri Orlov and see if he can find anything that can help the current Mandalore.

To put it bluntly, he was also preparing for civil war.

  Vitaly Orlov is no longer afraid of weapons or war. This time, he decides to face it all head-on!

……

In the northeast of the Milky Way, on the Outer Rim, on the planet Tangrene.

This is a very remote planet, but the transportation is quite convenient. During the Clone Wars, this planet was part of the Confederation of Independent Systems, but in fact, there were only some relatively backward nomadic people on the planet, who were unwilling to join the war, and the Confederation of Independent Systems had no time to care about this remote place.

Later, when the Galactic Republic counterattacked, the 11th Army of the Galactic Republic, which governed this star region, planned to build a military base here to consolidate its rule in the Outer Rim Star Region. However, this plan was only halfway through.

But if you look at this planet now, you will be shocked to find that the half-built military base on this planet has been activated!

An officer walked into the command center of the military base and said to a man who was sitting there meditating: "I'm afraid that the planet Mandalore is on the brink of civil war... Master Windu."
