The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2502: The Difficult Birth of the Death Star

The planet Talasia where the DS-1 battle station project was being built was attacked, causing serious damage to the Death Star, and the entire project was forced to be delayed for six months.

Not only that, even if the project was delayed, the Galactic Empire could not find a new "takeover man" to take over the unfinished Death Star project.

The Geonosians did everything they were supposed to do, and destroyed everything they could.

After the riot on the planet Talasia was quelled, the Galactic Empire looked at the devastated DS-1 combat space station project with nothing but melancholy.

Because the whole project is completely ruined.

Afshin Makati, the Imperial Navy Admiral sent by the Galactic Empire to clean up the mess, issued an order to reappoint personnel to take over all management and military command of the planet Talasiya.

But this is not an easy thing to do.

After the Kingdom of Dawn fleet that had come to completely disrupt things was completely annihilated, the command of the Imperial fleet around the planet Talasia fell completely into the hands of Imperial-level Admiral Afshin Makati.

He first ordered the annihilation of all four planets and all Geonosians in the entire Talasiya galaxy.

As the Imperial Army began the systematic slaughter of Geonosians, Imperial stormtroopers began arresting all Geonosians on the planet, including all those involved in the Death Star project.

These people were shot into a desert area on the planet Talasiya. The Imperial stormtroopers deceived them that it was to ensure the protection of the interests of all Geonosians. Then, after gathering everyone together, they set up E-WEB blaster guns and ruthlessly massacred all the surrendered Geonosians!

On the entire planet of Talasiya, the number of Geonosians who were systematically massacred reached 600 million! Not only that, the Galactic Empire also took advantage of the uprising on the planet of Talasiya to declare the Geonosians traitors of the Galactic Empire.

This race will not be allowed to survive on any planet in the Milky Way!

This is equivalent to an extermination order for the Geonosians!

During the riot, the Geonosian Grand Duke Bogle-Lower was arrested. Even when the Geonosian uprising was at its most intense, no one paid any attention to him. He was just imprisoned in the underground prison of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer "Stout" until everything was settled.

He also took full responsibility for the entire Geonosian rebellion and was fully responsible for the serious damage to the Death Star project.

Now the entire Galactic Empire has reached a consensus that the uprising and riot in the Death Star project are all the responsibility of the Geonosians who conspired with the Separatist forces.

In order to completely eliminate the Geonosians, Admiral Afshin Makati, the commander of the Imperial fleet, personally ordered ten Imperial Star Destroyers to conduct a 20-hour orbital bombardment of Talasia! The surface of the planet was completely destroyed! Then, the racial traitor who no one was willing to claim, Porgel-the Lesser, was accused of betraying the Galactic Empire, and a one-sided trial equivalent to 17 hours of galactic standard time was held, and then he was publicly hanged.

After the riots began, whether it was the counterattack of the Queen of Geonosius or the counterattack of the Galactic Empire, both sides ignored Bogle-the inferior, the traitor, who could not get sympathy. This made it impossible for him to get any forgiveness. The only thing he could do was to bear the charge of treason and then be executed.

While the ugly head of Bogel-the-Inferior was hung in the center of the Empire for public display, the Empire also had to face a very fatal thing - the DS-1 combat space station project had to be temporarily stopped after suffering heavy damage!

When all Geonosians were wiped out, the engineering corps capable of building the Death Star was also wiped out along with the genocide of the Geonosians. Not only the Geonosians, but also the engineering robots built by the remaining projects were all destroyed.

But in order to complete the project, they could continue to exploit the Geonosians and rely on their blood and sweat to meet the huge workload requirements. But now, all of this is gone. They must find enough highly intelligent labor and reprogram a large number of engineering robots for use.

In other words, the entire Death Star project now has to recruit workers again, and the number required is very huge, at least millions of people. Not only that, all the recruited workers must pass political review and have basic engineering knowledge.

It cannot be said that there are no people who meet this condition, but if the scope is expanded to millions or tens of millions, it will be a huge task.

That’s not all. All recruited engineers and workers need to be trained before they can start work. This is another project that is so complicated that it makes people desperate.

The graduates provided by higher education institutions such as the Imperial School of Engineering, the Imperial Military Academy, and the Imperial School of Mathematics are simply in short supply, and those experienced engineers and workers in office cannot guarantee that they can meet the demand.

At this time, the superiority of the Geonosian people's hive consciousness is reflected.

Within the entire project, former director Orson Krennic and dark advisor Daala Prophet who went to serve as consultants survived the orbital bombardment, but the Imperial Emperor Palpatine did not intend to let him go.

Orson Krennic was arrested and imprisoned in the dungeons of the Imperial Center. The Prophet Daala was also imprisoned by Imperial Advisor Kadan and tortured.

Now, the DS-1 battle station project has been temporarily handed over to Galen Erso, a senior engineer of the Empire, to lead the overall command to ensure the smooth completion of the project. However, Galen Erso and the project team that survived the catastrophe only have a total of several thousand people, which is not enough to fully meet the construction needs of the Death Star!

Therefore, Palpatine turned his attention to the Tag Corporation, which was loyal to the Empire. They would be the best replacement for the Geonosians.

Allman-Tag is about to become the biggest victim in the Death Star project of the Galactic Empire.

As long as Tag Corporation is willing to provide money and manpower, and then bring in several other major military-industrial complexes through the cutting-edge technology alliance, the Galactic Empire's stretched finances can continue to build the Death Star through continuous credit expansion.

With the cooperation of O'Man-Tag, Tag Corporation, the largest advanced economic entity of the Galactic Empire, will bear most of the expenses of this unprecedented project!

Tag Company cannot afford such a super project. (End of this chapter)
