The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2348, The safest tourist planet

On September 9, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's fleet arrived at the planet Geller-Anselm.

This planet is located at the edge of the middle ring of the Milky Way. It is a beautiful planet with a large body of water. The amphibious race Notulans and the aquatic race Anselmi live on the planet. The hometown of the late Notulan Jedi Master Kit-Festos is the planet Gle-Anselm. The Anselmi rarely leave the planet, so they are basically unknown to outsiders.

Later, as the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group expanded in the North, the planet Gler-Anselm was also brought under their control, and the Interstellar Banking Association also planned to turn this planet into a wealth planet. Therefore, they began to develop tourism on the planet, opening casinos, amusement parks, and resorts.

With the investment of the Interstellar Banking Association, the tourism industry of Gler-Anselm has developed rapidly. Although few people go to Dawn due to transportation problems, in the North, this planet has become a well-known tourist destination within the control of the Kingdom of Dawn.

Is there anything better than sunbathing comfortably while surrounded by a fleet of Geth soldiers, enjoying a glass of iced wine from a tray held by a Geth individual?

This planet is beautiful, rich, and full of hope. It is in stark contrast to the hellish planet of Dorin, which was destroyed by the Geth just a few seconds away. In fact, in the eyes of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, such a contrast is naturally the ironclad evidence that the Kingdom of Dawn is secretly colluding with the Geth!

The Geth, who kill anyone they see, left your prosperous planet behind and did nothing. They also captured the planet Dolin and built it into a fortress to protect it. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Kingdom of Dawn and the Geth are not colluding!

Of course, a planet like Geller-Anselm would naturally have no possibility of resisting the invasion of the Galactic Empire.

After the Imperial fleet arrived, the planet of Geller-Anselm surrendered without any resistance. The planetary governor, Darsana, who had previously represented the planet in the Galactic Republic Senate, personally connected with Gilad Pellaeon and expressed his intention to surrender very obediently.

Looking at Darsana smiling humbly on the screen, Gilad Perrine could no longer suppress the anger in his heart!

"How dare you...how dare you!" Gilad Perrine gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. At this moment, his mind kept replaying the scenes he saw on the planet Dolin before, as well as the countless tragic scenes he witnessed in the more than ten years of fighting with the Geth.

Darsana obviously misunderstood what he meant. She bowed again and said politely, "No... We dare not have any intention of disobeying the Empire. Please believe that we sincerely want to surrender. Gler-Anselm is just a peaceful tourist planet. There are no armed forces on our planet."

“Hahahahaha!” Gilad Perrine laughed in anger. “Yes! Yes!! In this place where the geth are wreaking havoc and killing people everywhere, there is no armed force on the planet Gler-Anselm!! Yes! Yes!! You and the geth are getting along very well!!”

Darsana then realized that something was wrong. She fell to her knees and cried out, "General... it's not that we get along well with the Geth, but we have been paying protection fees to the Geth, so we are able to survive!"

"Protection money? Should we give it to Tang Xiao or to Sang Hill?" Girard Perrine asked back.

"No...no...we absolutely dare not!" Darsana said quickly.

"I should give the order right now to completely plow your planet into the ground! To comfort the civilians who were massacred by the Geth!!" Gilad Pellaeon roared.

"General... please don't do this. We are all innocent..." Darsana begged for mercy.

Gilad Perrine forced himself not to give the order for orbital bombardment. He paused for a moment and said, "You and all officials above the ministerial level in the current planetary government, immediately board my spaceship by shuttle. I declare that you are under arrest." He glanced at Dalsana coldly and said, "I'll give you an hour. If you haven't arrived by then, I will drive the battleship directly into the atmosphere to arrest you!"

"Yes... yes..." Darsana quickly agreed.

It took only half an hour for all the main members of the planet's current government to gather together, tremblingly huddled together and stood in front of Gilad Perrine.

"Tell me about the defense deployment of the planet Anxin," Girard Perrine asked coldly.

Dalsana quickly replied, "The Malarian Alliance has their own independent defense fleet, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of a squadron. There are about 30 battleships, and an estimated 400 frigates and light cruisers, all of which are warships eliminated from the Dawn Planet. Their flagship is a Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser, which was presented to Musur by His Majesty Tang Xiao, the King of Dawn. This is also their most advanced warship. Musur is said to be planning to purchase an Infinity-class super aircraft carrier next year as his mobile palace. This guy has made a lot of money in the past few years with the help of the Unknown Star Region."

She spilled all the information she knew like pouring out the beans.

"Where is the Geth fleet?" Gilad Perrine asked again.

"I really don't know about this... The Geth fleet is elusive. They never notify anyone. They come and go as they please. No one knows what they are busy doing all day long..." Dalsana replied.

"What has the Geth fleet done recently? Two days ago, a Geth fleet must have retreated from the front line and passed by you, right?" asked Gilad Perrine.

Darsana shook her head in confusion. "I haven't seen any Geth warships in the past few days... You said they were defeated, but I have no idea about this..."

"Is the hyperspace route from here to Anxin Planet clear?" Pellaeon continued to ask.

"It's not smooth. The Mararian Alliance has set up a large number of hyperspace blockers, and they don't even allow our ships to enter!" Dalsana said this looking a little angry.

Gilad Pellaeon nodded and waved his hand. Two clone soldiers in white armor immediately came over, took Dalsana and the others away, and detained them in a temporary prison set up in the battleship barracks.

The Geth fleet was elusive... Didn't the defeated warships pass through the planet Gle-Anselm? Gilad Pellaeon almost instinctively smelled the smell of conspiracy. The Geth fleet was definitely more than the 300 dreadnoughts on the planet Dolin, so... where was their main force?
A familiar smell... The Geth often set traps of one kind or another. They understand the weaknesses of human nature even better than humans themselves.

Gilad Perrine thought for a moment and said, "Send an advance team to clear the hyperspace channel."

"Yes!"

Time passed like this for another day, and on September 9, when Girard Perrine was anxious, the advance team sent to clear the hyperspace blocker suddenly sent back a signal.

This is... a distress signal!! (End of this chapter)
