This is a very important point in the history of the Galactic Republic, because on this day, the Galactic Parliament passed the "Act on the Comprehensive Abolition of the Local Defense Fleet System" with a slight advantage of about 1.5 percentage points.
According to this law, the local defense fleets of all planets and sectors will be brought under the ownership of the Republic Navy, and the Republic Navy will establish establishments, dispatch officers, and uniformly manage these fleets.
These planets are naturally unwilling, because everyone knows that handing over their local defense fleet means that their life and death are in the hands of the Galactic Republic. Now the Galactic Republic has said nicely that if anything happens, the Republic fleet will be the first to do so.
We will arrive soon. Anyway, after a while, my planet will be in turmoil and I won’t be able to see a hair of the Republic’s fleet!
But the problem is that it is mandatory for the Galactic Republic to implement this law. Although the law does not clearly state what will happen if it refuses to hand over the local defense fleet, this is actually the scariest thing, because you don’t even know what the Galactic Republic will do.
How about you!
After a stalemate for a period of time, the planet Kuat and Corellia took the lead in setting an example and handing over the local defense fleet to the Galactic Republic. Next, most planets also handed over the command of the local defense fleet.
But these are two completely different things.
Because of planets like Kuate and Corellia, which have deep pockets, even if there is no local defense fleet, they can still organize a huge fleet in the name of escort fleet. What's more, if their local defense fleet is handed over
It was handed over, but the Republic only gave it a naval number. The station remained in the same place, and not even the commander was changed!
However, things were not so good for other planets. Their defense fleets were immediately mobilized, and then gathered at the nearby galaxy army headquarters to form one team after another. Although they were not advanced, they were numerous.
Absolutely huge fleet.
After receiving such a new force, preliminary statistics included at least more than 10,000 large and small warships, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic was naturally filled with joy and immediately launched another wave of offensive without hesitation!
Following the direction of the previous six armies, the Republic's legions, reinforced by a large number of warships, once again launched an attack on the areas controlled by the Confederation of Independent Systems.
But at the same time, those planets that lost their protection were almost immediately attacked by interstellar pirates. After all, planets that have the ability to form local defense fleets are basically planets with wealthy finances and sufficient production capacity.
It's like the bank vault door suddenly opened and all the security guards were dispatched. The result is self-evident.
And as expected, the Republic Navy was very indifferent to the requests for help from these planets. They basically gave a few perfunctory words, and then said that the fleet is currently busy fighting against the separatists and saving the galaxy, and they are not available for the time being. You can find employment.
Soldiers and the like.
At most, less than half of the planets received limited support from the Republic fleet, and these supporting fleets were also in a hurry. After repelling the pirates, they left quickly, not caring whether the pirates would come back.
However, the major media in the Republic seized on these few examples, and then cooperated with the victory news that came quickly from the front line to trumpet this wise and powerful decision of the great Speaker Sheev Palpatine. Some even shameless
Some media even compared this law to the Rusang reforms!
You must know that no matter how untimely the Rusang Reform was later, it was a treaty that brought long-term peace and prosperity to the Republic for thousands of years. In many cases, the Rusang Reform cannot be denied because of its inability during the war.
Achievements in peacetime.
And the media compared Palpatine's perverse law with Rusan's reforms, which was completely shameless and embarrassing. At the same time, this was actually the beginning of Palpatine's start to build momentum for his own rule and authority.
.
Two years since the war broke out, Palpatine has changed from his previous humility and has begun to be labeled by many media and even members of Congress as 'the greatest Speaker in the history of the Republic'.
However, after confiscating the local defense fleets of those planets, the Republic did usher in the climax of a wave of offensives in the following period. The large number of Republic fleets broke through the defenses of the Confederation of Independent Systems in one fell swoop, and continuously conquered
Hundreds of planets.
Riding on the momentum of this victory, Sheev Palpatine also continued to take action. He promulgated many decrees, many of which were to integrate the power of the Republic, crack down on bureaucracy, and rectify people's livelihood, giving himself another layer of warmth.
Tag of.
However, many people, especially the Jedi Order, did not notice that hidden among these decrees was an inconspicuous decree - the "Decree on Respect for Freedom of Religion and Racial Customs."
This law seems to be to eliminate the barriers between the major races in the Galactic Republic and hope that all races can live in peace and respect each other. In fact, the law constantly uses various word games to implicitly hint at a meaning——
The so-called Sith and Jedi also just have different beliefs in the Force.
However, the current Jedi Order does not have the energy to be precise in such a decree. They have enough troubles of their own.
During the offensive and defensive battle on the planet Sev Tok, the ground forces were still unable to open up the situation. The combat effectiveness of the natural soldiers could not be compared with that of the clone soldiers, and they suffered heavy losses in such a tough battle. So Jedi Master Di, who commanded the fleet,
Seran personally signed the order and launched an orbital bombing on the planet Sefer-Tuk!
The tragic orbital bombing caused tens of millions of civilian casualties! This number is mainly because the population of this planet is not large and the cities are sparse. If it is a densely populated developed planet, then the number of casualties will reach one
How terrifying!
The Jedi Order was very dissatisfied with this because Deseran's actions broke an unspoken rule that the Jedi had always abided by.
Although the Republic issued a proposal that the fleet could launch orbital bombardment with the consent of the Jedi accompanying the army, almost all Jedi chose to refuse to sign the orbital bombing proposal.
This is also the reason why the number of orbital bombings so far is very small.
But now, Deseran has set an extremely bad precedent!
He was quickly recalled by the Jedi Order and underwent questioning, investigation, and confinement within the Jedi Order.
However, Pandora's box that has been opened cannot be closed again.
