The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2581, Mina Tils

Meanwhile, on Planet Dak.

Now, there are undercurrents inside this ocean planet, and the dark clouds of war have shrouded the sky of the planet. Everyone on the planet is in a panic, worried that the planet will be dragged into war again.

There is even more open and covert fighting between the two main races on the planet Dark - the Quarren and the Mon Calamari.

The Mon Calamari wanted to regain their dominance on the planet Dark, but they also understood that the Quarren had received the support of the Kingdom of Dawn, and that the Kingdom of Dawn had now built a stargate on the planet Lothal, not far from Dark, making it easy to provide reinforcements.

So now they are very entangled, because if they surrender to the Kingdom of Dawn, they will continue to be vassals of the Quarren. But if they resist, they obviously do not have the strength to fight against the Kingdom of Dawn.

Therefore, the Mon Calamari tried to use the power of the Galactic Empire to fight against the Kingdom of Dawn. Since Gideon Tarkin led a powerful fleet to the East, the Mon Calamari began to conspire and communicate with the Empire in many ways.

And after getting Gideon Tarkin's assurance that the Galactic Empire would definitely launch a direct attack on the planet Lothal, the Mon Calamari provided Gideon Tarkin with a secret waterway.

Through this secret route, Gideon Tarkin can go directly from Chad to Baros, and then directly attack Lothal from Baros. The entire journey only takes one day by hyperspace jump.

Originally, the Mon Calamari people wanted to hand over the secret route to the Galactic Empire, and then wait until the Galactic Empire destroyed the stargate on the planet Lothal and established their advantage before they stood up and joined the Galactic Empire to resist the Kingdom of Dawn. At the same time, they could also use the power of the Galactic Empire to push the Quarren back into their deep sea.

However, things did not develop as they expected!
The assassinations of Given Governor Koberi and Mon Calamari King Lee-Char caused divisions within the Mon Calamari. The two consecutive assassinations destroyed the last possibility of reconciliation between the Mon Calamari and the Kingdom of Dawn. From then on, they had no choice but to go down the wrong path and fight the Kingdom of Dawn to the end.

Because among these two people, the Governor of the Given, Kobor, does not want to engage in a full-scale confrontation with the planet Dark. After all, both the Quarren and the Mon Calamari have very developed industrial and military strengths. For such beings, it is most appropriate to be good neighbors.

King Lee-Char is also the bridge of communication between the Quarren and Mon Calamari. If it weren't for him, the civil war would have started long ago.

However, the war faction within the Mon Calamari directly admitted at the highest leadership meeting that they were responsible for both assassinations, and clearly stated that their goal was to join the Galactic Empire, defeat the Kingdom of Dawn, kill all the Quarren, and dominate the planet Dark!

No, it is to dominate the planet Mon Calamari!

At this highest-level meeting of the Mon Calamari, the leader of the war faction who had been hiding behind the scenes and was elusive finally revealed his identity!

Meena Tills!!

During the Clone Wars, she was a representative of the Dark Planet, but because the Galactic Republic lost the Battle of Dark Planet and the Quarren took the lead, the Galactic Republic could only accept representatives of the Quarren to enter the Republic Parliament. In turn, Mina Tils was framed by the Nosori, who was still the leader of the Quarren Isolation Alliance, and was accused of starting the war and became the sinner of Dark Planet (Chapter 1023).

However, Sheev Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic at the time, secretly sent Mina Tils away and secretly supported her comeback.

With the support of Palpatine, Mina Tils quickly gathered a very large force and hid in administrative agencies at all levels on the planet Dark, taking control of the power.

After the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the end of the Clone Wars, and the final defeat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, it was Mina Tils who secretly operated behind the scenes, using the failure of the war as an excuse to put tremendous pressure on the Quarren leader Nosori.

Through the secret suppression of the Quarren, Mina Tils's political power was further strengthened, allowing the war faction to gradually gain the dominant position among the Mon Calamari.

And Nosori naively believed that as long as he continued to compromise, he could avoid a civil war with the Mon Calamari!
And now, when the main fleet of the Galactic Empire arrived, Mina Tils finally decided to step forward!

The assassination of King Lee-Char and Governor Koboree was actually the conspiracy of Mina Tils! Only she had the ability to carry out such an assassination plan, and the Galactic Empire Intelligence Department did not have this ability.

In fact, the original plan was just to assassinate King Lee-Char, but because some of his subordinates acted carelessly, Governor Koberi secretly obtained the information that the Mon Calamari were secretly providing hyperspace channel navigation data to the Galactic Empire.

After learning this information, Governor Koberi immediately realized that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren, and his efforts to negotiate were completely useless.

Therefore, Governor Koberi left overnight and tried to escape secretly. But in the end, Mina Tils got hold of his whereabouts. The Inquisitor Eighth Brother, who was sent by the Galactic Empire to assist, personally shot Governor Koberi with a bullet made of Kyber crystal and penetrated his bulletproof hovercraft, killing him!
This finally ensured that the intelligence was not leaked, so Gideon Tarkin had the opportunity to raid the stargate of the planet Lothal.

……

When the Quarren leader Nosori received the call, it was already night time in his city. He had returned to his sterile deep-sea cabin to rest.

However, when the communication was connected and the holographic projection appeared in front of him, Nosori jumped up instantly, all sleepiness gone!

"Mina Tils! You're back!!" Nosori was shocked.

"Of course I came back. Thanks to you, I spent seven years on the run! Seven years!" Mina Tils's face was extremely ferocious, and she said viciously: "Now, both you and the Quarren! You must pay the price for your betrayal!!"

"So you are colluding with the Galactic Empire! Do you know that this will bring us disaster? The Kingdom of Dawn will not listen to your reason! If your betrayal is confirmed, then only slaughter awaits you!" Nosori said sternly, "Do you think this is revenge? No! The Mon Calamari are the real victims!!" (End of this chapter)
