361, Death of the Dark Lord (Part 1)
The Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Finis Valorum, was impeached and received nearly 80% of the no-confidence votes in the subsequent vote. He has been abandoned by the political arena of the Galactic Republic.
After Valoran confirmed his resignation, the campaign for the new Speaker also started in full swing.
The three candidates are Sheev Palpatine from the planet Naboo, Bel Antilles from the planet Alderaan, and Ainle Tim from the planet Malastar.
Among the three people, Bell-Antilis is a very radical reformist. His coming to power is likely to affect the interests of the super oligarchs including Kuat Planet, so he is basically an addition.
On the surface, the person with the greatest advantage is Ainle-Tim of the Malastar planet. Behind him is the support of the entire ring faction members. The ring faction members who occupy many seats in the outer ring star district are very vocal.
, has the momentum to directly win the majority of votes in one fell swoop and become the speaker.
In fact, there are many precedents for having some congressmen from small planets serve as the speaker.
The leader of the Ring faction members, Representative Orn Free-Tower from the planet Rynos, also made a high-profile claim that Tim had actually won the election!
However, Sheev Palpatine knows that he is the one who is certain to be elected. Because the current political trend has become obvious under his continuous guidance, these super companies in the Trade Federation have become extremely expanded and do not care about them at all.
When the Republic takes its sights, a powerful government is what those with vested interests, those who truly control the lifeblood of the Republic, want to see.
They have no interest in continuing to play this democratic game with the poor and weak planets in the outer ring star region! If they have enough strength, they must get enough status and enough benefits! Distribute the benefits to the outer ring planets and help them?
Ha ha ha ha!
Palpatine has already reached an agreement with these classes, and once these people take action, the Ring Council members in the Outer Rim Star Region will not have any chance.
In front of these super planets that have been rising since the birth of civilization in the Milky Way, including the Trade Federation, they are just rising stars, and they will soon tell the Outer Rim Star Region what true heritage is!
However, Sheev Palpatine only told Queen Amidala in an understatement that he still had some advantages, that is, the sympathy votes he received because of the invasion of the planet Naboo.
Queen Amidala no longer had the patience to wait for the birth of a new Speaker. She ignored Senator Palpatine's dissuasion and insisted on leaving Coruscant and returning to the planet Naboo.
After she made up her mind, the Jedi Order continued to ask Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to protect him. And because Master Yoda and Master Windu did not recognize Anakin Skywalker, they were unwilling to
Let him become a Jedi apprentice, so Qui-Gon Jinn took Anakin with him and went to the planet Naboo together.
However, none of them noticed that when a group of them boarded the tarmac and prepared to leave Coruscant, there was another gaze watching them.
Darth Plagueis stood in the shadows, staring at the little boy following Qui-Gon Jinn. His gaze seemed to span countless galaxies and countless time and space, and coincide with a certain point in time in the future... His gaze
The ability to predict things that had disappeared returned to his body at this moment.
He saw... behind the little boy stood a cyborg wearing black armor. He was tall and straight, sinister and full of oppression.
"Hehehehe..." Darth Plagueis chuckled, "You belong to the dark side after all, the Chosen One! But I don't know who is the person who led you into the darkness? Of course! Except for creation
Besides your me, can there be anyone else? Hahahaha... Tonight, the Sith will return to the era of two people! Then in the near future, this will be the stage of one Sith! My stage!"
But he didn't see the future Anakin who taught him. Soon, what he saw turned into a shadow again, as usual, but he still left with satisfaction.
Plagueis sent a message to Darth Malthael, asking him to wait near his mansion, the Taldani Spire, tonight, but he could not enter without his summons.
Perhaps out of excitement, he finally understood how to consider Malthael's feelings. He added at the end of the message, 'The supreme power will be shared between us!'
However, he never dreamed that less than a kilometer away from the building where he was, Darth Malthael closed the communicator coldly and said as if talking to himself: "Is that okay?
?”
"That's it! I have reactivated the rough primordial that I sent into his body, just when he was standing on the balcony and giggling!" The ghost of Darth Tenebrous said sarcastically, "Plaeger
Darth, he is indeed useless. Although his dark side force is still the most powerful the world has ever seen, he is destined to be eliminated from this stage! And you, Darth Malthael! Can you be on this stage again?
How long will it take to stand?"
"I don't know how long I can stand, but I know how long you can stand." Malthael sneered: "It depends on how long I can stand."
…
That night, former Interstellar Banking Association co-chairman Hego Damask II, who had not appeared in the business and political circles for a long time, made a high-profile appearance, together with Shiv Pal, a member of the Naboo planet and a candidate for the new Speaker.
Palpatine walked together to show his support for Palpatine.
This is a very important signal, because the reappearance of Black Go means that the power of the Interstellar Banking Association will tilt towards Palpatine's side.
Amid the pursuit of a large number of reporters, the bodyguards of the two separated the crowd and ushered them towards the Galaxy Theater. Today, the dance troupe from the planet Mon Calamari will present you with the latest and most moving dances and songs. Of course
, this high ticket price has also blocked out almost everyone, except for the top rich and powerful.
After the performance, they returned to Hego's mansion and the Tardani steeple building together, and continued drinking and having fun.
Palpatine and Hego drank wine while talking about the future political direction of the galaxy. Palpatine kept promising that as long as he won the election, Hego would be nominated as co-speaker immediately, and then they would solve the problem beautifully together
Dispute on the planet Naboo.
Palpatine kept pouring wine for Plagueis, and when the conversation was happy, he simply stood on the table, danced like a clown, and used exaggerated movements and sounds to rehearse the speech he would give in the parliament tomorrow. He
The performance made Plagueis laugh heartily, and the wine kept flowing into his stomach like water.
After drinking for three rounds, both of them had an imperceptible coldness flashing through their eyes.
[There is no place for you in this galaxy! Sidious!]
[The Milky Way is destined to be mine! Master!]
[The old order will pass away, and the new order will come! And this time, I will become a chess player!] Outside the building, the cold wind at night blew, and a man shrouded in a black cloak stood at the top of the tower.
Above, quietly watching the farce.
