The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1579. Severance Tann's Strategy

But Severance Tann did not hesitate to leave the Duchy of Dawn and also wanted this opportunity, was it just to help the Confederation of Independent Galaxies guard the gate?

totally not!

Her plan is the same as that of Master Mace Windu, she wants to bring the Alliance of Neutrals and even the treasure of Mandalore into her control!

You know, this large star area was once the core control area of ​​the Mandalorian Crusaders four thousand years ago. The Mandalorian Crusade, which was very popular back then, continued to invade and expand in this star area, and finally became the confidant of the Galactic Republic.

Although with the demise of the Mandalorian Crusade and the decline of the Mandalorian planet, this star area has gradually become backward and poor, but the prestige of the Mandalorian Crusade is still there, and the heritage and tradition have not disappeared. There is also potential for development.

Otherwise, the Galactic Republic would not hasten to launch the Mandalorian excision operation when the planet Mandalorian had little improvement more than 700 years ago, and once again deal a devastating blow to the planet Mandalorian.

After Severance Tann was stationed on Planet Fendal, the first thing she did was to inform all the planets of the Neutral Alliance that her fleet was here, guarding the entire star area. Once there is a need for help, such as escorts, pirates, etc., she is very happy to lead the fleet to help.

Of course, this help is paid, but at least it is still within the acceptable level of these planets.

In addition, she began to lead fleets to attack planets loyal to the Galactic Republic in this sector and harass the Republic's supply lines.

As I said before, the star area where the Alliance of Neutrals is located covers a very large area, and not all the planets in it belong to the Alliance of Neutrals. There are also many planets that support the Galactic Republic, and some planets that support the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

It's just that these planets don't have much strength and influence, so even if they verbally support this and that, they are not able to take any substantive actions, and the Galactic Republic and the Federation of Independent Galaxies don't bother to care about them. After all, if you have to send fleets all the way to attack these poor and backward planets, maybe the income from the trip is not enough for gas.

And this time when Severance Tann came here, it was not just lip service, she would really launch an attack!

Severance Tann's plan is to use this method to gradually cut off the Galactic Republic's influence in this star area and gradually expand its own influence. In this way, over time, these planets will naturally fall to their side, which is logical.

In fact, this is the correct way to gain a foothold in the League of Neutrals. Master Windu's approach was too hasty, and in the end he could only get the opposite result.

It's just that you can't say that Severance Tann is better than Mace Windu, because their situations are completely different. Mace Windu has such an extremely large fleet to support, and after breaking away from the Republic, he also cut off the backup. He is no longer able to support this fleet by normal means.

So he can only use this method of exhausting the water to fish out, trying to use this huge fleet to lay down a bigger country before the Alliance of Neutrals is drained.

Severance-Tann not only has a much smaller fleet, but also has the support of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, so she has almost no logistical pressure.

And in her long-term strategic vision, the Alliance of Neutrals is just a springboard. Her ultimate goal is Hydia Channel—one of the five largest hyperspace channels in the galaxy!

Which five?

Hydia Way, Corellian Run, Corellian Trade Spine, Rimma Trade Route, Perlemian Trade Route Route).

By the way, there is another Rendili Trade Route (Rendili Trade Route), which is also a large-scale hyperspace route, from the planet Rendili to the Andat planet not too far from the planet Bespin. It's just that as Rendili betrayed the Galactic Republic, this channel is currently blocked.

If this channel can be re-opened, the connection between the Principality of Dawn and the planet Rendili will actually become very close.

In fact, from the names of these ultra-large-scale hyperspace waterways, it can be seen that there is a gap in the background of the three super industrial giants, Corellia, Rendili, and Quartet. Compared with Corellia and Lundili, Quarter can only be regarded as a rising star. Sometimes I have to feel that the background can still be eaten.

For example, like Corellia, looking at the plot and history of the entire "Star Wars" for tens of thousands of years, basically there are not many deflated planets, and you have to admit the role of the background. Because no matter how the dynasties change, the Corellian galaxy has always become the core member of the current regime by virtue of their strong industrial capabilities and comprehensive strength.

Having said that, Severance Tann's biggest goal is to control the Hydia waterway, which is also the most adjacent waterway in the Neutral Alliance star area. As long as it can control the Hydia channel, it is equivalent to choking the artery of the Galactic Republic in the northeast direction of the Milky Way plane star map!

Once her strategy can be achieved and combined with the actions of the Geths, the northern border of the entire galaxy will no longer be owned by the Galactic Republic!

And she will also become the king of the North!

She dedicated everything she had to Tang Xiao, all she wanted was such an opportunity!

...

At this moment, the northern border of the Milky Way is under a terrible shadow——

Geth!

With the destruction of the Eighth Army of the Galactic Republic and the fall of the planet Ord-Mantel, a huge loophole appeared in the deployment of the Galactic Republic in the North. The Seventh Army and Ninth Army around the Eighth Army began to switch to shrinking defense, trying to stop the invasion of Geth.

But the whereabouts of the geth are elusive now, and now they mainly stay at the stage of harassing the planets of the Republic. Every time they capture a planet, they will impale all the residents on the dragon's teeth to make corpse puppets, and then remove all the useful equipment on the planet.

They rarely occupy planets, so this makes it difficult for the Galactic Republic fleet to capture them.

In addition, geth are mechanical life forms, and they don't particularly rely on logistics supplies. A fleet can often sail for a long time without rest, so their range of activities is also very large.

In this way, the Seventh Army and the Ninth Army have nothing to do with Nageth! -
