The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2508. The Rise of New Groups (Part )

During the raid on the Model sector by Master Yoda, relying on the pulse-activated omni-core on the Finback class, he single-handedly resisted the continuous bombardment of the entire Galactic Republic fleet, giving the Kingdom of Dawn a chance to turn the tide of the battle.

In this little-noticed field, the United Mining Group's spacecraft manufacturing capabilities are actually no less than those of several other major military-industrial complexes in the Kingdom of Dawn.

Until now, the industrial ships produced by the United Mining Group have begun to be widely exported throughout the galaxy, and have engaged in fierce competition with the Galactic Empire's Corellia Engineering Company in the field of engineering ships and mining ships.

It can be said that the Corellian Engineering Company has not caused any trouble to the Galactic Empire until now, and the United Mining Group has also contributed - because they want to use the Empire to get rid of this up-and-coming company.

Finally, the United Mining Group is still the most powerful military entity in the Kingdom of Dawn, besides the military.

In fact, most people don’t know this.

But in fact, think about it, the United Mining Group used to mine and transport in various places in the Milky Way. In order to ensure the safety of these routes, they established a very large escort fleet.

Many people don't realize this at all, because it is normal to establish an escort fleet for cargo transportation.

But if you include the thousands of escort fleets under the United Mining Group, you will find that they have more than 100 second-line battleships, more than 800 heavy cruisers, more than 5000 light cruisers, more than 17000 frigates and destroyers, 2000 Gray Horse-class light escort aircraft carriers, and more than 90000 fighters and bombers of various types!

Although they were all very backward second-tier or even third-tier warships, many of them were even purchased at low prices from the remnants of the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the end of the Clone Wars. But in terms of absolute numbers, this was also a very considerable force.

In the late period of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic raided the Model sector with an absolutely superior fleet. At the last moment, Tang Xiao gathered all the escort fleets of the United Mining Group and fought the final decisive battle with Cassio Tag's main fleet in the Endor system.

This huge escort fleet under the United Mining Group, although its fleet commanders are all second-line officers of the Dawn Kingdom’s military or retired officers who have been re-employed, they themselves are also part of the group.

Then, they also own more than 50000 transport ships, industrial ships, and mining ships of various types!

The Kingdom of Dawn has been carrying out an immigration plan to the Rendili galaxy. Many people have only seen the relocation of the population and the Whale-class passenger ships designed by Willix Blissex, but few have noticed that during the implementation of this immigration plan, the Rendili galaxy was isolated and deep in the core of the Galactic Empire's rule, and their production and material supply have never been cut off.

Behind this is also the United Mining Group! They supported the huge amount of supply transportation required for the huge industrial capacity of the planet Rendili, ensuring that during the period when Rendili Interstellar Dynamics just separated from the Galactic Republic, their shipyard did not stop working, so that they could produce enough Victory II-class Star Destroyers to prevent the planet from being captured by the Galactic Republic immediately.

If the planet Rendili was finally successfully accepted and digested due to the excellent management ability of the Ulan family, then the material transportation of the United Mining Group was one of the main external factors to ensure the productivity and defense capabilities of the planet.

Under such circumstances, the strength of the United Mining Group has increased rapidly, and after the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group was divided into three, the United Mining Group has become the largest super corporate giant in the Kingdom of Dawn!

However, at this time, in the last few days of 10 BBY, a shocking event occurred in the United Mining Group.

Xu Yan, the group's top director, was attacked by the Galactic Empire Inquisitor and seriously injured when he went to an uninhabited star system to investigate a stray comet that was said to come from an extragalactic star system outside the Milky Way. The Inquisitor was soon killed by the warriors of the Twilight Covenant, but Xu Yan's injuries could not be healed and his life was about to come to an end.

So, at the last moment, Xu Yan let his son Xu Deng inherit the United Mining Group.

This was not a result that the Dawn Kingdom's Ministry of Commerce was reluctant to see - because they did not want their domestic super-enterprises to become family-owned enterprises. For example, the heir of Ms. Gross-Shelbia, the top director of the Fourth Group, was an executive director of the group and had no blood relationship with her.

But Xu Deng was outstanding enough. At a young age, he had become a key figure in the United Mining Group with his own abilities. For example, the development of neutron steel was actually presided over by Xu Deng.

You have to know that compared to the original technological Tritanium and Nova alloys, which only require finding minerals with similar properties for testing and should be able to produce similar results, the research and development of neutron steel is starting completely from scratch.

In order to develop neutron steel, Xu Deng led his scientific research team to work hard for two years before finally finalizing the formula of neutron steel. His excellent management and technical capabilities played a key role.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, Xu Deng is the best candidate to continue leading the United Mining Group forward after Xu Yan's sacrifice.

Except for one problem—he’s Xu Yan’s son.

However, the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Dawn agreed to the appointment. Not only was Xu Deng good enough, but also because Xu Deng was the son born naturally by Xu Yan and his wife after he was awakened. He had a very clean background and was very loyal to both the Kingdom of Dawn and the Fourth Civilization.

After further handing over a portion of the group's shares to ensure that his shares were not the largest in the board of directors, Xu Deng was sworn in.

The United Mining Group, the largest super-enterprise in the Kingdom of Dawn, has entered a new era.

That year, Xu Deng was only 24 years old.

……

Among the super companies in the Kingdom of Dawn, there is another company that has risen rapidly like a supernova. And this company is not an old face like Tyron Heavy Industries and United Mining Group. This company is called -

TaiYang Dynamics Energy.

This company, named after the star "Sun" in the galaxy where the Blue Star, the birthplace of human civilization in the ancient history of the planet Dawn, is located, now manages the energy supply within the Kingdom of Dawn.

Among them is the Dyson Ring! (End of this chapter)
