11BBY, the 9th year of the Galactic Empire and the 24th year of the Galactic Republic.
The Galactic Empire was established in 20BBY, so this is the ninth year.
The Principality of Dawn adopts the Grand Synchronous Calendar of the Galactic Republic. The Grand Synchronous Calendar happened to be implemented in 35 BBY when Tang Xiao traveled through it. Therefore, after the Dawn Planet joined the Galactic Republic, it uniformly adopted the Grand Synchronous Calendar and it is still in use today. And Dawn Planet
Sometimes the Principality Calendar is used to mark the year within the Principality, and now it is also the 9th year of the Principality Calendar.
This is interesting because the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Empire were also established in the same year.
And this year is destined to be a very special year, because starting from the first month of this year, the political situation in the galaxy began to take a very strange path.
First of all, the civil war in Hutt space suddenly stopped, and the Gorensla family, led by them, began to plan to establish a unified regime. Thousands of years of tradition of the Hutts was broken, and the place faced an unprecedented and huge change.
Then the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn quarreled in the air, accusing each other of violating human rights regarding the Trade Alliance and the Chiss Territory. But the problem is that while they were quarreling, they continued to suppress and strengthen their dominance in these areas.
, the Galactic Empire's attack on the Trade Federation has not stopped for a moment.
This war of words has intensified. In the past few years, the two sides, at least on the surface, were on good terms with each other, and now it has reached the point where they have closed their borders to each other.
But the most amazing thing is that on January 20 of this year, the Principality of Dawn actually sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister Francis Underwood to the Galactic Empire to repair relations between the two parties.
Francis Underwood seemed to have a strong purpose. He made a request to the Galactic Empire to reopen the Rendili trade channel, and expressed that as long as this channel could be opened, the Principality of Dawn was willing to cooperate with some of the empires that were interested in it.
areas' to make concessions.
In addition to this, the Principality of Liming also brought many gifts. Although most of them were worthless souvenirs, they at least showed their sincerity.
The Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine, did not want to pay attention to Francis Underwood at all, but surprisingly, he did not refuse, and let Kruja Van Delong as his representative, and Francis Underwood
Carry out negotiations.
So two people who had cursed and sworn to kill each other immediately a month ago actually started talking?
However, no one can say how sincere this negotiation is. The media of the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn only briefly reported on this negotiation and did not publicize it.
On the contrary, some unofficial media are extremely excited, thinking that this may be the beginning of peace in the galaxy.
Moreover, in addition to the Hutt space, the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn, in the northeastern part of the galaxy, something that can be called an explosion is also happening on the planet Mandalore - the Mandalorian Crusaders, which have been destroyed for more than 4,000 years, are resurrecting.
Got it!
The current ruler of the planet Mandalore, Extraordinary Vizsla, announced that he would ascend to the throne and become the Extraordinary Mandalore, and would fully restore everything of the Mandalorian Crusade, including beliefs, traditions, systems, armies, etc.
And the day of coronation is today!
In response to this rebellious move, the former Grand Duke of Mandalore, Bo-Katan Kryze, immediately issued a declaration, claiming that the Mandalorian Crusade had long been swept into the trash heap of history and was a backward and outdated system. Mandalore
The people of the planet are peace-loving and are willing to build their homes in a peaceful environment. War is only a means of self-defense and should not become a weapon that threatens other planets.
Finally, she declared that she would fight the extraordinary Mandalore to the end. The resistance forces on the planet Mandalore would immediately march to the capital Sundari City, vowing to completely destroy the ambition of the extraordinary Vizsla!
Thus, 11 BBY, a unique year full of changes, opened the first month of the war amidst the flames of war on the planet Mandalore.
…
The planet Mandalore, about 50 kilometers outside Sundari City.
Bo-Katan Kryze and the 20,000 troops she assembled have completed their final preparations for combat. This 20,000-strong army is basically the local security forces who have revolted and joined the resistance movement. Although the soldiers of these security forces are only
After basic training, it is much better than those militiamen who can't even handle a gun.
This is currently the only army that Bo-Katan Kryze can bring out that is capable of launching an active attack, and the equipment of this army has also been greatly improved.
Vitaly Orlov sent another batch of weapons and equipment, and those provided by Mandal Engine Company included the Brick-Arol-class armed airspeed craft, the M3-A Sik light fighter, and some structures
Rudimentary armored vehicles and heavy blaster machine guns have also arrived.
There are a total of 150 Brick-Arol class armed airspeeders, 60 Sik fighter jets, 100 modified armored vehicles of various types, and 600 heavy blaster machine guns. This is a luxury for the poor rebels.
What lies in front of them is the capital Sundali City, and the real elite troops in the hands of Chaozhou Vizsla - an army of 100,000 led by Gar Saxon! The weapons and equipment of this army are also Chaozhou Vizsla's
Even compared to the truly powerful armies such as the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn, they are still beggars when compared to the truly powerful armies of the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn, but compared to the remote areas of Mandalorian planet, they can be considered well-equipped.
Not only that, the main force of the Death Guard is also here. There are more than 200 Death Guard warriors who are still with Chao Chao Vizsla. These are all powerful warriors who can be equal to ten.
Moreover, no matter how difficult it is to supply Chao Chao-Vizla's army now, he continues to shrink his defense line, and coupled with another batch of supplies sent by the Zane Consortium, he can still support the battle.
However, faced with such a powerful force, Bo-Katan Kryze decided to take the initiative to attack!
She must tell everyone through her actions that the Mandalorians will never surrender! And the cruel and bloodthirsty ghost of the Mandalorian Crusaders will be completely buried!
After the army completed its preparations for the attack, Bo-Katan Kryze gave the order, and 20,000 soldiers rushed towards Sundari City without fear of death!
The Mandalorian Restoration Army led by Jango Fett, 20 super soldiers and John-117 wearing Crusader power armor activated their jetpacks, like 21 sharp knives, and penetrated the position of the Vizsla government forces

This kicked off the Battle of Sundari! (End of this chapter)
