The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1971. Hutt Civil War (Part 2)

And during the Hutt battles in recent years, the Gorensla family has always kept a low profile. While other families were trying their best to increase their strength and form cliques, they were the only ones who remained silent.

Therefore, to the Hutts, the Oruba and Gorensla families are aliens, ostracized and forgotten.

It was not until later that the Fourth Civilization launched the Battle of Terminus and occupied the planet that the situation changed.

After the battle, the Gorensla family quietly occupied the transportation thoroughfare of the outer ring star region on the planet Terminus, and began to vigorously develop their own smuggling industry here. No one knows what happened in the middle, but that's how they started.

With this convenient transportation, mixed fish and dragons, and lawless planet, the Gorensla family's strength has grown rapidly. And they also have a good relationship with Ni Yongxiao's gang, and the two sides often fight together against foreign enemies. Not only that, they also have a good relationship with the Bloody Dawn gang whose home base is in the Corellian system.

At the same time, the Gorensla family's various sources of goods seem to have increased... They can even get top-notch spices such as Aura and Diesel bark. This kind of top-notch goods was used in the Fourth Civilization's occupation of the Keshel satellite and Harbin. After the planet Lenkar, it is almost out of stock elsewhere in the galaxy.

In addition, the Gorensla family also has extensive cooperation with arms smuggling tycoon Yuri Orlov, nicknamed Santa Claus, smuggling various weapons and equipment, and even decommissioned warships.

The Gorensla family already had a very extensive criminal and smuggling network, and now they are even more at home.

Later, their business continued to grow, and I heard that they even got involved in the Oud-Mantel planet far in the north of the galaxy, and their strength increased rapidly.

This increase in strength finally aroused the vigilance of some other families. In the environment where several major families in the Hutt space were crushing and fighting against each other, those who coveted the Gorensla family's property did not hesitate to choose the method of plundering and fighting.

However... these families suffered a brutal blow immediately!

Among the smuggling fleets of Gorensla, a large number of powerful warships appeared. Rifter-class frigates (Rifter-class) and Slasher-class frigates (Slasher-class). These warships are not so much frigates as super-heavy fighter jets. The former is 50 meters long and the latter is 46 meters long. They are super fast and have great firepower. ferocious!

Under the concentrated attack of these two types of warships, even cruiser-level warships could not withstand the ferocious firepower and were torn into pieces by these very flexible, fast, and cruel warships!

There are so many Rift-class and Timber-class classes, and the pilots hired by the Gorensla family are also extremely vicious. If they are targeted, there is no chance of survival! Even the escape hatches were found one by one and destroyed.

All the raiders were hit head-on, suffering heavy casualties.

It was only then that those families were shocked to discover that the strength of the Gorensla family had actually expanded to such a powerful level!

The current Gorensla family smuggling fleet is composed of Thrasher-class heavy destroyers (Thrasher-class) and Rupture-class destroyers (Rupture-class) as the core, with Rift class and Timber class as wings. It is extremely powerful and unmanned. Dare to provoke.

So after the strong rise of the Gorensla family, the Hutt's five-person parliamentary seats changed again. At the end of the Clone Wars, the Council included Gignak and Jabba of House Desiligic, Aruk and Durga of House Besadi, and Oruba of House Gorensla.

After more than ten years, Oruba finally squeezed out Marlow of the Kunalak family and returned to the parliament.

At this time, something earth-shattering happened. The Galactic Republic collapsed and was reorganized into the Galactic Empire! Moreover, Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire has not changed much in his policy towards the Hutts, and still strongly supports the Desiligic family headed by Jabba and Kiliac.

At the same time, because the Dawn Principality withdrew from the war and the Confederation of Independent Systems had no time to take care of itself, the power of the Besadi family began to be affected and they were constantly oppressed.

At this time, Count Dooku and Aluk had to join forces to stay warm, support each other, and survive on the defense line of the Salukami planet.

And as mentioned before, because Ziro of the Desiligic family and Gadula of the Besadi family are constantly stirring up the situation behind the scenes, triggering increasingly serious conflicts and confrontations between the two parties, which makes this conflict intensified.

On the one hand, the Galactic Empire was eager to capture the planet Salukami, defeat the Confederacy of Independent Systems in one fell swoop, and end the war. Palpatine put great pressure on Kiliac, asking him to block the Hutt space leading to Salukami as soon as possible. The planet’s shipping lanes.

On the other hand, in order to defend this last fortress of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Count Dooku and Aluk worked desperately to protect the rear of the planet Salukami.

The result of this is that the struggle between the Desiligic family and the Besadi family becomes more and more direct and larger in scale. Later, large battleships of the heavy cruiser level began to participate!

However, on the Salukami planet, the two sides also fought equally, evenly matched. This directly caused the battle on Salukami planet to last for four years!

In the past four years, the Galactic Empire fought against the Confederation of Independent Systems, and the Desiligic family fought against the Besadi family. It goes without saying how cruel and terrifying the struggle around the planet Salukami was.

Finally, after holding on for four years, the planet Salukami was captured, and the last bastion of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was burned to the ground.

The struggle between the Desiligic family and the Besadi family also came to an end.

After losing the planet Salukami, the Federation of Independent Systems no longer had any more power to stop the advance of the imperial fleet, and naturally had no power to reinforce the Besadi family.

This time Aluk Besadi was forced to take a stand, but it ultimately ended in failure.

At this time, Emperor Palpatine's reckoning has finally arrived!

Because in previous struggles, the Desiligic family had received too much support from the Galactic Empire, which gradually tied their interests to the Galactic Empire. Therefore, after defeating the Confederation of Independent Systems, Palpatine ordered that The Desiligic family will do whatever it takes to 'reunify' the Hutt space!

What does reunification mean? Self-explanatory.

The day after Count Dooku died due to General Grievous's mutiny, Palpatine once again ordered Jabba and Kiliac to dissolve the Hutt Supreme Council!

Jabba was very unhappy with this order, but Kiliak had already given up. He insisted on going his own way, forcibly disbanding the Hutt Council and expelling all other members of the Council except the Desiligic family! (End of chapter)
