Chapter 347: The Origin of the Jedi Order! Infiltrating Scarif!

However, the consequences of doing so are also quite serious.

That is, after witnessing the joy of playing on private servers, more and more Jedi Knights began to fall to the dark side and took the initiative to go to the Sith to become Lords.

In order to better integrate into the Sith, these Jedi Knights even used the Force to break through the species isolation restrictions with the Sith and reproduce offspring of the two races!
That’s right, the Jedi Knights at that time played so openly, and such scum with corrupt morals and bad character were naturally despised by many members of the Republic’s parliament.

After learning that the Jedi Knights had such a dark history, the corners of Lucius' mouth began to twitch uncontrollably. He didn't expect these people to be so perverted.

"Boss, I'm curious why Palpatine is the Lord of the Sith. Didn't the previous Lords leave behind any offspring who could take over the power?"

At this time, Secretary General Lucy expressed her confusion. Logically speaking, the handover of imperial power is usually from son to son.

But this doesn't seem to be the case with the Sith Empire. Each of their Lords has no blood relationship and can even be called complete strangers.

It is hard to imagine such a situation, and this is what would happen within the imperial system.

In response, Li Ang smiled and shook his head, and continued to patiently explain to everyone:
"The origins of every Lord of the Sith Empire are basically based on the Lord's deceased soul, or other people bewitching powerful Jedi Knights."

"Generally speaking, the selection requirements for Sith Lords can be roughly divided into two categories: one is an outstanding Jedi Master, and the other is a shrewd politician with great power."

Leon once conducted in-depth research on the origin of the Sith Empire. He had long discovered that the Sith people were fanatical in their worship of strength and power.

This species, which is extremely strong-loving, is a bit like the Minions who are obsessed with finding the most powerful rebel and becoming the boss of their family.

By constantly seducing Jedi Knights to fall into the dark side and becoming their boss, the Sith quickly evolved from the earliest indigenous tribe into a powerful empire.

Therefore, whether it is the early Sith tribe or the later Sith Empire, it can be regarded as the happy hometown of the blackened Jedi Knights.

Here, every Jedi Knight can get everything he wants, status, honor, respect, everything!
However, the existence of private server channels like the Sith Empire is an evil that is irreconcilable with legitimate public servers like the Republic.

After all, these shameless, flirtatious bitches of Sith always tempt their own top players to play on private servers. If all the talented people run away, who would still spend money and do dungeons on public servers?

Therefore, the conflict between the two parties is based on a complete conflict of interests, and it cannot be reconciled with just a few words from Palpatine.

The history of the war between the Republic and the Sith Empire can be completely seen as the development history of the Jedi Knights. The light side stands on the side of the Republic, and the dark side stands on the side of the Sith Empire.

However, what is most troubling to the Republic is that after each war with the Sith Empire, a group of Jedi Knights would jump ship and become lords of the Sith.

There’s no way around it, this is the joy of playing on private servers.

One of the most classic historical cases is when two Jedi Knights, Malak and Revan, were on an investigation mission.

They encountered the ghost of a former Sith Lord. After hearing about the great treatment offered by the Sith Empire, they decisively switched jobs and became Sith Lords.

Prior to this, their official positions in the Republic were merely generals in name only, and they even had to conduct investigations on the front lines in person.

But just by changing one's mind, one can instantly become the Lord of the Sith Empire. This is completely irresistible for young Jedi Knights who are eager to make progress!

Considering all the reasons above, it is easy for members of the Republic to see the composition of the Sith Empire: a pirated private server, a gathering place for hybrids, a den of traitors, and a barbaric tribe that admires the strong.

To the Republic senators who had established a prosperous galactic era, the Sith were nothing less than barbarians, and they could not wait to crush these bugs to death.

This is also the reason why they felt so disgusted after learning that Palpatine was the Sith Lord.

And Palpatine himself knew that the identity of Sith Lord was not clean.

But he really had no other choice. If he wanted to establish a unified galactic empire, he had to control as much territory as possible.

In order not to further irritate the sensitive nerves of the Old Republic senators, Palpatine did not turn the Galactic Republic into the Sith Empire after revealing his identity as the Lord.

He didn't even take the opportunity to expand the Sith army. All signs indicate that Palpatine wanted the identity of Sith Lord just for convenience.

It's a pity that everything has two sides. Palpatine took a shortcut by relying on his status as the Lord, but he also left himself with a huge political stain.

After understanding the origin of all this, the executives of the giant companies suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Palpatine became the target of public criticism.

"So, what Palpatine wants to do is to quickly establish a unified galactic empire to resist possible invasions from extragalactic civilizations."

Reed rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Judging from the other party's performance, he didn't seem like a tyrant at all. On the contrary, Palpatine was a complete hero!

Let the people suffer and let the people under them take the blame. Isn't this the basic operation of every emperor? Only these masters of the Republic are used to the good life so they curse every day.

Leon nodded. In fact, he admired Palpatine very much. He was resourceful and courageous, and could be considered one of the few smart people.

Palpatine was born into an aristocratic family and became a senator of the Republic at a young age. He then used his identity as a Sith Lord to instigate war and became the Speaker of the Supreme Council.

He then personally directed the Clone Wars, successively taking down the Trade Federation, the Old Republic, and the Jedi Order, killing three birds with one stone!
With such a beautiful combo operation, even Leon had to admire this guy's methods. As a politician, Palpatine was absolutely excellent.

The most important thing is that Palpatine realized early on that the Jedi Order was the source of all the troubles!

If it weren't for these people who always run to Sith to become the Lord, there wouldn't be so many troubles.

Therefore, the best approach is to disband the Jedi Order, restrict the organizational development of the Jedi Knights, and nationalize and control them all.

As an equally outstanding consul, Leon could fully understand all of Palpatine's micro-management, but it was a pity that destiny was not on the side of the Empire.

After supplementing and analyzing the empire's predicament to everyone, Leon once again turned his attention to Paul.

Now Paul is the point that promotes contact between the Universal Corporation and the Empire, as for contacting and winning over the old congressmen of the Trade Union and the Republic.

We can only continue to push forward after the giant enterprises and the empire have fought a real battle.

……

In the "Star Wars" universe, on the Sojourner's dreadnought flagship, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the next operation, David equipped Paul with a dreadnought.

They also planned to let him lead a team of elite Astartes warriors to carry out the task of obtaining the Death Star design. This was also due to Paul's ability, which was similar to that of the Jedi Knights. If he had the opportunity to learn the Force, he might be a good candidate.

At the flagship headquarters, David faced Paul who was about to set off and warned him: "This operation will be very dangerous. Even the headquarters cannot guarantee your safe return."

To this, Paul responded without hesitation: "I don't care whether this operation is dangerous or not, I will just do my best to complete the mission!"

Paul's tough style is completely different from his gentle face, which is why he was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Vanguard of the Heavens.

In Paul, David seemed to see what he used to be like, competitive and eager to improve!
"Okay, then let's get ready to go. I'll explain the details to you on the communication channel."

The giant battleship Mantle, which is like a small world, is heading here urgently, and the Sojourner Dreadnought equipped for Paul is already ready.

The blade-shaped dreadnought was anchored steadily near the flagship, waiting for Paul's order.

As a backup plan in case of a failed infiltration, if Cosmos Corporation fails to successfully obtain the Death Star design drawings, it will immediately take tough measures and launch a strong attack on Scarif.

Therefore, a group of fully armed Astartes warriors will also be carried on the Sojourner Dreadnought, who will immediately launch an attack with just one order from Paul.

If necessary, the warriors of the Megacorp will kill all the Imperial troops present and forcibly take away the design drawings of the Death Star.

Soon, after everything was ready, Paul boarded the dreadnought. Although he didn't know what the outcome of this operation would be, he had already prepared for the worst.

After a while, the dreadnought officially docked in deep space and headed towards the planet Scarif according to the location information provided by the Rebel Alliance.

After a period of hyperspace travel, the dreadnought finally arrived at the Empire's security center - the planet Scarif!
It was a world as delicate as a crystal ball, and most of the planet was surrounded by the azure ocean.

There are only scattered green islands that can serve as land for human habitation, although the diameter of the planet is only 9,000 kilometers, which is smaller than that of the Earth.

But the advantage is the beautiful environment. Those who don’t know would think it is a resort planet. Therefore, it is hard to believe that the Empire’s Death Star weapon was developed here.

"Yes, this is it!"

Paul looked at the planet not far away. It was surrounded by an all-round deflection force field shield and there was only a narrow gate for flying. He knew he was in the right place.

The fact that the Galactic Empire was able to deploy such a defense system on a planet on the edge of the Milky Way regardless of cost shows that this place must be no simple one!
After carefully observing the planet's deflection field shield, Paul found that except for the gate, it was impossible to pass through other places.

If a hole is forcibly torn in the shield, it will definitely be discovered by the Empire's garrison, which is equivalent to a violent attack right from the start.

For Paul, of course, the best thing to do is to determine the location of the Death Star design first, and then launch a strong attack, using a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

If you attack directly, it will be easy to force your opponent into a corner and delete the relevant data, which will then be counterproductive.

[To pass through the gate, you must first have the relevant pass code and a spaceship belonging to the Empire. ]

"Roger that!"

Following the reminder from the intelligence officer at headquarters, Paul decided to hijack an Imperial spaceship without anyone noticing before officially sneaking into Scarif, and then try to get in.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to hijack an Imperial spaceship.

A large number of Imperial spaceships appear here every day, passing back and forth through Scarif's gates. After all, the Empire is still relatively peaceful, with only some insignificant rebel forces causing minor trouble.

It is precisely because the giant corporations in the universe did not act rashly that they invaded the Galactic Empire on a large scale.

That is why the Empire did not issue strict access inspections for such an important planet.

After hearing the prompt from headquarters, Paul immediately ordered the dreadnought to wander around the edge of the Scarif galaxy, ready to pick a lucky person to replace his next spaceship.

Immediately, Paul and Chini each drove a transforming spaceship, turned on stealth mode, and quietly approached a cargo shuttle.

Judging from the shuttle's route, it was most likely a cargo ship heading to the planet Scarif.

In the pitch-black darkness of deep space, a transformable spacecraft equipped with the most advanced hard-light optical camouflage followed the cargo shuttle all the way without being detected.

Three minutes later, Paul and Chini caught up with the cargo ship, and made the transforming spaceship stick close to the back of the shuttle, while they relied on the magnetic boots on their feet to stand firmly on top of the shuttle.

"Little Flathead, I'll leave it to you from now on!"

Under Paul's instructions, the small auxiliary AI robot, Flathead, which looked like a wolf spider, began to scan the outside of the spacecraft, trying to find the interface of the invasion.

Soon, the crewman found a welding joint and quickly opened a small hole in the hull of the ship.

It then connected its own data cable to the spacecraft's cable, preparing to forcibly implant the AI ​​Red Queen virus and take over the entire spacecraft's system.

[AI Red Queen is cracking the system, please wait——! ]

While waiting, Paul switched the transforming spacecraft out of autopilot mode, released the spacecraft and returned to the Dreadnought. Later they would board this cargo ship and enter the planet Scarif.

[The cracking was successful. The external communication system has been cut off with one click, the alarm system has been shut down, and the internal gate has been cracked...! ]

If it is a defense system of the level of the Death Star, it may take the AI ​​Red Queen several minutes to crack it, but for an ordinary cargo ship like this, it will take at most 20 seconds.

With the successful invasion of the AI ​​Red Queen, the entire cargo hold, from the functional area of ​​the main console to the entire indoor and outdoor lighting system, all failed and shut down!
Now the ship would be at the mercy of Paul alone.

"Well done."

Paul was very satisfied with the crew-head's high efficiency. He followed the back door that the crew-head opened for him and squeezed in through a narrow passage.

At this moment, the crew on the freight ship had no idea of ​​the current situation. They were like headless flies, bumping into each other everywhere in the dark environment inside the ship.

You have to know that this is an absolutely closed cargo hold. Without the light provided by the lighting system, nothing can be seen with the naked eye.

Faced with the sudden chaos in the entire cabin, the captain is trying hard to restart the system, but it is completely futile due to the interference of the AI ​​Red Queen.
