466. Separatism

With the passage of time, the separatist movement initiated by Count Dooku also continued to grow and develop.

The Speaker of the Galactic Republic, Schiff Palpatine, devoted all his energy to combating dissidents, expanding his own power, and completely letting the corrupt officials of the Republic go wrong in the outer ring star region.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the unparalleled reputation and eloquence of Count Dooku, a large number of planets in the outer ring sector joined the separatist movement and began to resist a series of policies of the Republic.

Since 500 planets, including Dawn Planet, have publicly announced their refusal to pay taxes for the Republic, more and more planets have also joined in. The Galactic Republic has been painstakingly implementing a free trade zone since its predecessor, Fennis Valorum. Tax policy has become a dead letter.

Next, Count Dooku secretly reached a preliminary agreement with the intergalactic super-enterprises headed by the Trade Alliance, the Technology Alliance, the Interstellar Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance, the Commercial Guild, and the Fourth Group, allowing them to join their own cause confrontation Republic.

And the promise he gave was that once the republic was successfully forced into submission, these companies would have astronomical capital gains, and could legally occupy a large number of galaxies, and at the same time, they would also receive unimaginable privileges.

That's right, what he said was never to start a life-and-death war with the Republic, but to tell these corporate giants that the war was just a means to bring the Republic to the negotiating table, or even to overthrow the current Galactic Republic government, and then by They take their place.

These corporate giants have ulterior motives one by one, such as the Trade Union because Governor Newt Gunray was coerced and recruited by Darth Sidious, the Interstellar Banking Association was an arrangement left by Darth Plagueis before his death, the Technology Alliance The basic base of the alliance with the enterprise was originally in the outer ring star region, and the ambitious business guild wanted to seize this opportunity to advance to a higher level.

As for the fourth group, they are eager to fight this war, and the bigger the better, it is best to fight the brains out.

However, Count Dooku was eventually funded by these enterprises, and his activities became larger and more blatant. In the Outer Rim sector, many planets have stopped broadcasting Galactic Republic media and instead broadcast Count Dooku's speech in large numbers.

This not only led to the intensification of the contradiction between the planets in the outer ring star region and the inner and inner ring planets, but also made the atmosphere of the Galactic Republic more and more tense.

Schiff-Palpatine has made public speeches more than once, saying that he cannot accept the act of secession in any case, and called on the separatists to return to the negotiating table and not blindly aggressive.

But having said that, he didn't take any substantive actions, just kept persuading the outer ring star region through the media.

The slogan that the upper and lower lips touched the empty mouth and white teeth was naturally impossible to be accepted by the outer ring star region, but Palpatine also hoped so, the reason why he said this was only to create a self Still love peace and long for the unification of the Galactic Republic.

On the side of Count Dooku, because he already had enough support, he also quickly began to prepare for the battle.

The first and foremost is the industrial aspect. According to the report of the Governor of the Trade Union, Newt Gunley, the Trade Union was working with Lundili Interstellar Dynamics to jointly develop an upgraded version of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser-the Providence-class destroyer (Providence-;carrier). /destroyer) [Note 1].

The Shenyi-class destroyer is a multi-functional warship. It is equipped with an advanced command system and heavy armor, and adopts a modular design, which can easily replace the functional cabin. According to different configurations, the Shenyi-class destroyer can be used as a command ship and an aircraft carrier. and battleships to use.

But in fact, in order to avoid suspicion, Lundili Interstellar Dynamics outsourced this project to FreeDac Volunteers Engineering Corps (FreeDacVolunteersEngineeringCorps), which is a large engineering company formed by Quarren people, mainly for Lundili Interstellar Dynamics The company conducts outsourcing and processing operations.

As the separatist movement intensified, Lundili Star Dynamics could not sit still, and they were preparing to withdraw from the project. At the same time, Count Dooku intervened in the dispute between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren on the planet of Mon Calamari, got the support of the Quarren, and let the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Corps break away from Lundili Come out and build battleships specifically for Separatism.

The Shenyi-class destroyer project was also brought over by the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Corps, and the Trade Alliance continued to invest in preparation for the completion of this powerful warship.

The Freedak Volunteer Engineering Corps secretly built a huge shipyard on the colonized world of the Quarren, Parment, for the construction of Shenyi-class destroyers.

And after having decided to embark on the road of war, the ambitious Count Dooku persuaded the Trade Union to spend a lot of money to design a more powerful invincible battleship on the basis of the Shenyi-class destroyer - the Conqueror-class heavy cruiser (Subjugator-;heavycruiser)!

These were not enough. Count Dooku asked Shu-Mai, President of the Commerce Guild, and Pasell Argent, President of the Enterprise Alliance, to jointly fund the design of a powerful Fire support ship, this project is named Disobedient-class light destroyer~www.mtlnovel.com~Hersch-Korscher Dynamics is one of the oldest spacecraft design and construction companies in the galaxy, with a history of more than 4,000 years. However, in the subsequent competition, they were defeated by the emerging super-industrial enterprises such as the Quat Power Dock and became a subordinate enterprise of the Trade Union, which was successively transferred to the Duro consortium and the Nimbanes consortium of Hutt Space.

However, this is a company with deep roots, so it's no problem to do some design and construction work. But after all, the company's scale is limited. Currently, it is mainly engaged in the construction and reconstruction of Lucrehook-class cargo ships. Therefore, the construction work of the Disobedient Class is also scheduled to be handed over to the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Corps.

In addition, the technical alliance is mainly to provide technical support in all aspects, including the research and development of army equipment, various robots, and fighter jets. The Interstellar Banking Association naturally pays.

In this, the main work of the Fourth Group is to cooperate with the Trade Alliance to build the Higrclass battlecruisers and ghost fighters. This is also the only thing that Count Dooku has in the product line announced by the Fourth Group. .

[Note 1: As always, the classification of warships in "Star Wars" is very confusing. The Shenyi class alone has several names: command ships, battleships, dreadnought ships, cruisers, and destroyers... This is still based on the settings. The official name, defined as the destroyer bar.
