The planet Ze-Heth is the home of the ZeHethbra, a race that looks a lot like werebears, warlike and tyrannical, and the ZeHethbra often serve as bounty hunters in various parts of the galaxy.
and mercenaries.
It is worth mentioning that because of their strong combat capabilities, the Zehebras were considered by Darth Plagueis as several options for the clone army. The Zehebras are physically strong,
Their strength is amazing, and their thick fur cannot even be penetrated by machetes. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as a weakened version of the Wookiees, but their reproductive ability is much stronger than that of the Wookiees.
However, when it came to the specific choice, Darth Plagueis later chose the Inchori, who had more abnormal physical abilities. Later, he switched to humans who were more adaptable.
After the war broke out, the planet Ze-Hess stood firmly on the side of the Galactic Republic. In fact, it was because the Galactic Republic judged that if the Zehebra people joined the separatism, they would provide them with a large number of soldiers sufficient to compete with the clone soldiers.
.
However, this time, when Major General Malcolm Granger led a guerrilla fleet composed of 6 Catastrophe-class battlecruisers and 10 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, they appeared within the gravitational circle of the planet Ze-Hess.
At this time, the powerful Zehebra people had to lower their heads and ask for help from the 17th Army of the Republic.
But now Lynch Hauser, the governor of the 17th Army of the Republic, is explaining the reason for this fiasco to Chancellor Palpatine on Coruscant. At the same time, he is offering bribes to everyone in order to reduce his own responsibility. And the naval commander of the 17th Army, Colonel Kourney,
At this moment, Mei Mei was counting the large sum of credits bribed to him by the Quat Power Shipyard, and then deceived the members of their investigation team, tampered with the combat records, and redefined this tragic failure as a "loss of money".
A big victory'.
Power corrupts, this saying is very true.
The 17th Legion of the Republic was originally a very marginalized legion. It did not have many fleets or troops. Even within its jurisdiction, there were not many resource-rich planets.
The only thing worthy of praise may be the Republic Naval Academy on the capital planet Vogel.
But now, as the war progresses, the 17th Army has become the Galactic Republic's frontline against the Fourth Civilization and the Titan battleship Xuanwu. This has given Governor Lynch-Hauser and his subordinates suddenly a very powerful strength overnight.
, the fleet strength in their hands can even rank among the top five in the Republic.
The expansion of power also led to the expansion of desire. Not surprisingly, Lynch-Hauser and Admiral Kourney quickly became corrupted by the flattery and financial bribes of the nobles in the inner circle.
Coupled with the unfavorable results in the previous battle, the very urgent request for help from Planet Ze-Hess was actually ignored by the 17th Army!
One day later, Major General Malcolm Granger's guerrilla fleet began to blockade the planet Zehes and seized almost all the transport ships on the planet. At the same time, an ultimatum was issued, requiring the Zehebra people to surrender within three days.
Three days is worth pondering, because with the strength of the guerrilla fleet in the hands of Major General Malcolm Granger, it only takes a few hours to destroy the resistance on the planet Ze-Hess - you know, the Galactic Republic has no regard for Zehes.
The relatively savage and warlike non-human races like the Burra have always been disliked, especially after the decree to cancel local defense fleets was issued. Planets like Ze-Hess are basically undefended.
Representatives of the Zehebra people are petitioning everywhere in the Republic Parliament, trying to win reinforcements from the Republic, but how can anyone pay attention to them now? Speaker Palpatine is busy dealing with the impeachment of the Bail Organa faction, and the 17th Army
The Governor and the Admiral were busy colluding with the Kuat Power Dockyard, deceiving those above and below.
Therefore, the Zehebra people, a race that had little say in the political arena of the Republic, were simply ignored.
So less than a day after the ultimatum was issued, the Zehebra people surrendered.
Perhaps for the Galactic Republic, the Ze-Hess planet has no strategic value, but for the Fourth Civilization, after the surrender of the Ze-Hess planet, it is equivalent to being between the Eriadu galaxy and the Marastal galaxy.
A bridge has been built between them!
You must know that because of the previous battles between the Malastar planet and the Harunkar planet, these two planets belonged to the fourth civilization. However, the Malastar planet due to the existence of the Malastar Fjord, and
The transportation between the Eriadu planets is not convenient, and the Harunkar planet does not have a stable hyperspace connection.
But now after the surrender of the Ze-Hess planet, the connection between the Malastar planet and the Eriadu planet has finally been established! Because the Malastar Fjord has only one due to the existence of a large electromagnetic nebula.
A direction for hyperspace navigation, and this direction is facing the planet Ze-Hess!
As a result, after achieving a more stable rear, the guerrilla fleet led by Major General Malcolm Granger began to expand its scope of activities, and dozens of surrounding planets were all attacked by him.
At the same time, as if to cooperate with Ling Liang's military operations, the Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, Francis Underwood, suddenly made a public speech in which he directly expressed his support for the Jedi Order!
Underwood said that although the Jedi Order has always been an enemy of the Confederation of Independent Systems, they have full respect for this enemy. Now that the Jedi Order has suddenly suffered an unreasonable disaster, the Confederation of Independent Systems is deeply saddened.
He said that the Confederation of Independent Systems is an inclusive regime, and the Dawn Planet has established an open Force Academy-Holy Advent Academy. Now they very much welcome Jedi Knights to come to the Dawn Planet to take refuge, and the Dawn Planet is also very
Willing to provide shelter to Jedi Knights.
At the same time, Count Dooku, the supreme leader of the Confederation of Independent Systems, also gave a similar speech, welcoming the Jedi to the Confederation of Independent Systems.
This is Count Dooku!
If Francis Underwood's words caused a stir, Count Dooku's statement was tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb!
You must know that Count Dooku once had unparalleled prestige when he was a member of the Jedi Order. Even Master Windu at the time could only be said to be a powerful figure, and his reputation could not be compared with Count Dooku.
.
Now that Count Dooku has said this, I believe that many fleeing Jedi Knights will change their minds and join the service of their former elders.
This behavior made the anxious Palpatine extremely angry. He directly issued an order to give the separatists some color!
