The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2436 Mandalore Sector

2437, Mandalore Sector

Gar Saxon, the current ruler of the planet Mandalore, proclaims himself Grand Duke of Mandalore.

He used to be the dictator of Mandalore and the captain of the guard of Astro Vizla. When Astro Vizla wanted to be crowned king, he suddenly attacked and killed Astro Vizla. He also swiftly eliminated other forces on Mandalore and unified the planet in less than three months!

The rapid unification of Gar-Saxon gave the people of Mandalore a thorough outlet for venting.

Because before that, Mandalore had experienced nearly a decade of chaos and civil war since Grand Duchess Satine Kryze of the New Mandalorian faction was controlled. During this period, Prime Minister Almec, Death Watch Transcendent Vizsla, and Night Owl Bo-Katan Kryze had all become rulers of Mandalore, but these people still brought chaos and needlessness to the planet.

Now Gar Saxon appeared! He took control of the situation on Mandalore in a short time. Under such a contrast, almost all the people on Mandalore threw themselves under Gar Saxon's command with extreme enthusiasm, supporting this "powerful" ruler to become the new Grand Duke of Mandalore.

The planet Mandalore has never been so united!

And this is actually what Gar-Saxon and his mastermind want to see.

It is easy to simply unify the planet of Mandalore, but to stimulate the extremely powerful fighting power in the blood of the Mandalorians, more must be done.

Now, Gar Saxon has successfully reactivated the Mandalorians' national consciousness!

Now, the fanatical people on Mandalore have experienced the extremely pacifist Satine-Kryze regime, and then the extremely dictatorial Transcendent-Vizla regime. After that, the Gar-Saxon regime in front of them is so powerful and efficient that almost all the people on Mandalore have fanatically devoted themselves to Gar-Saxon and become the most devout fanatics.

Four thousand years ago, such fanatics were called Mandalorian Crusaders!

The unified Gar-Saxon government declared autonomy and neutrality. He informed the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn that everyone on Mandalore would fight for the freedom and equality of the planet, and anyone who went against this goal, everyone on Mandalore, would fight to the end!

At this time, the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire had no choice but to agree to this request and recognize Gar Saxon as the new Grand Duke of Mandalore.

The law of Mandalore has never been so legitimate!

During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic recognized Grand Duchess Satine, but the Confederacy of Independent Systems did not. After Satine, neither the Galactic Empire nor the Kingdom of Dawn recognized the legitimacy of any ruler on the planet Mandalore.

Because at that time, both sides still fantasized about bringing the planet Mandalore under their control.

But while they thought so, they had no way to send more forces there. The Mandalore sector was indeed very remote. After the fall of the Mandalore Crusaders and the Sith Empire, there were no particularly powerful industrial companies in this direction.

Although Mandalorian Engines is the largest industrial company on the planet Mandalore, it is still not even qualified to sit at the table for dinner in front of real super military-industrial complexes such as Kuat Power Dockyard and the Fourth Group.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to occupy the Mandalore sector at this time - the lack of industry makes the cost of large-scale garrison extremely high, and the complex political environment makes the cost of ruling here also unacceptably high. However, the complex military environment here means that if the garrison is not large enough, nothing can be done at all.

In peacetime, the Kingdom of Dawn sent Severance Tann with the Infinity-class supercarrier here, but even a super general like Tann, although she could constantly defeat all resistance forces, could never rule here. In the end, both the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire understood that it was impossible for them to rule the Mandalore sector at present. Since it was impossible, they needed to support agents, and the only agent of Mandalore was Gar Saxon!

Even the Kingdom of Dawn, in this situation, can only assume that Bo-Katan-Kryze has failed. Because if they continue to support Bo-Katan-Kryze, then Gar-Saxon, who has long declared the Night Owls an illegal treasonous force, will inevitably turn against the Kingdom of Dawn and completely throw themselves into the arms of the Galactic Empire.

So it is not unreasonable that both sides have extended olive branches. In addition, in order to repair the cities that were severely damaged in the war, the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire have also invested in supporting the reconstruction of the planet Mandalore with low-interest loans.

With the recognition and support of both the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire, Gar-Saxon established an unprecedentedly powerful government, and the power of the planet Mandalore began to rise again.

In this situation, letting Mandalorians rule Mandalorians becomes the only option.

However, this does not mean that the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire will truly trust Gar Saxon completely. The Galactic Empire began to gradually support several warlords under Gar Saxon. The Kingdom of Dawn, as always, is working on Bo-Katan Kryze, wanting to continue to support Bo-Katan Kryze to defeat Gar Saxon and become the new ruler of Mandalore.

However, Bo-Katan Kryze scoffed at this suggestion.

Bo-Katan-Kryze is a pure Mandalorian. At present, in her opinion, Gar-Saxon, who is good at getting along with both sides, has done the best. If it were her turn, she would have no choice but to become a puppet of the Kingdom of Dawn.

So, although she did not disband the military organization of the True Mandalorians of Night Owl and Jango Fett, she refused to take any action that would be detrimental to Gar Saxon.

The most infuriating thing for the Kingdom of Dawn was that Jango Fett actually supported Bo-Katan Kryze's idea!

The reason is very direct: It seems that among the several rulers, Gar Saxon is the best and the one who can best lead the planet Mandalore to restore its glory!

They did not understand the dark, evil and deep hand behind Gar Saxon. On the contrary, from all appearances, Gar Saxon was the most perfect Duke of Mandalore.

Therefore, facing the re-emergence of Mandalore, the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire all adopted the same diplomatic strategy - to win over and support Mandalore, making it the greatest force that can stabilize this star region. At the same time, at the very least, they must prevent Mandalore from falling into the arms of their enemies.

Gar-Saxon seemed to understand the rules of the game very well. He reversed his previous style and started talking to the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire about various livelihood projects and commercial cooperation. He signed a number of mutual assistance agreements, and was ready to build Mandalore into an industrial and commercial center.

However, compared to the Kingdom of Dawn, which has always been reserved and only offers commercial cooperation but refuses to discuss industrial matters, the cooperation with the Galactic Empire is more in-depth.

So on the surface, the Mandalore sector is getting closer and closer to the Galactic Empire.
