22BBY, October 14, outer ring of the Milky Way, planet Terminus, outer space.
Darth Malthael, wearing a black cloak, sat cross-legged in a battleship cabin with a transparent skylight, meditating quietly.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying golden light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked out the window in a direction of the endless universe.
"Anger, humiliation, sadness, despair... I feel your emotions, Chosen One." Darth Malthael said to himself coldly.
"What do you feel?" An old but rich voice came from Little Klash's gauntlet. It was the Jedi spirit residing in it, Lucian Dre.
"The Battle of Jabim seems to be over." Darth Malthael said.
Sure enough, his communicator rang soon, and the projection of the dark believer Uru-Ulix appeared in it. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Your Lordship, the Galactic Republic has been removed from Jabimu
The planet has completely withdrawn its troops. According to your instructions, I stayed close to Alto Stratus during the battle and successfully prevented two Jedi assassins from assassinating him."
"What is Alto doing now?" Darth Malthael asked calmly.
"He is on his way to the capital, and I believe he will soon announce the establishment of a new government on the Jabiem planet, and it will most likely be an authoritarian government." Ulu-Ulix said.
"Assist Alto to deal with some matters and enhance our presence on the planet Jabim. Afterwards, the Fourth Group will also assist in the reconstruction of the planet Jabim." Das-Mathail said.
"My lord, I still have questions in my mind." Ulu-Ulix lowered his head and asked respectfully: "Why do we still have to spend so much effort on poor and backward planets like the planet Jabim and the planet Kali?
Help them develop and rebuild? They won't be of any help to our war effort."
"When one day you become the enemy of the entire galaxy, you will be glad that you still have these allies. These things should not be your doubts. After completing the things over there, come to the planet Terminus as soon as possible
." Darth Malthael waved his hand and closed the communication.
"The Battle of Jabim Planet..." Lucian Del Rey said slowly: "I heard you talk about the origin of this battle. If it is indeed what you said, then there is indeed no need for the existence of the Galactic Republic that has decayed to this point.
.”
"That's why the Chosen One who witnessed all this feels so angry, humiliated, sad, and desperate." Darth Malthael said.
"The Chosen One's corruption in this war has been unstoppable. Do you want to accept him as your disciple?"
Darth Malthael sneered, "Hehehehe, the Chosen One is destined to become Darth Sidious's apprentice, and is also destined to kill Darth Sidious with his own hands and fight for the Force.
Bring balance. Why would I want to prevent this fate that is so interesting and beneficial to me?"
"Will killing Sidious really bring balance to the Force?" Lucian Dre asked rhetorically.
"Maybe, maybe not." Darth Malthael raised his hand, looked at the gauntlet of Little Klash on his wrist, and said slowly, "But I think my children will solve this problem for me.
of."
Lucian Dre burst into laughter, "Children? You don't even have a wife now."
"Wife?" The expression on Darth Malthael's face was a little strange, "She will not be born in three years. Of course I don't have a wife now."
Lucien Del Rey's expression became condensed, "What are you planning? A wife who hasn't been born yet?"
"Ah, if it were her, the children I would give birth to would be uniquely powerful in this galaxy." Darth Malthael slowly clenched his fists.
"Then what?" Lucien Del Rey began to feel an extremely ominous feeling in his heart.
Darth Malthael once again showed that weird and unpredictable smile, which even made people shudder. But he did not answer Lucien Del Rey's question, but said: "You know what? Everything is controlled by fate.
People... in the final analysis, are just not strong enough."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Only Lucien Del Rey sighed quietly in the air, "...You should have thought of it, young Sith Lord. If the Force is to return to balance, you yourself will be the one who will be destroyed. But fate...
…Can it really be fought against?”
…
Darth Malthael came to the bridge. The fleet commander, Admiral Matt Horner, was standing firmly with his hands behind his back like a compass, looking intently at the holographic star map in front of him.
Hearing the footsteps, Matt Horner turned around and gave a military salute, "Lord Death Angel."
"According to the plan, I will leave the battlefield today. The relationship between me and the Dawn Planet has not yet been made public." Darth Malthael glanced at him and said.
"Yes! I have already made arrangements. The outer defense line of Terminus planet is now under construction, and the mining areas and factories occupied by the army have begun to operate at full capacity to supply the needs of the war. Even if you are not here, in this battle, we
We will definitely win!" Matt Horner said firmly.
Darth Malthael looked at the holographic star map and asked: "The Republic battleships are still coming?"
"Yes. Now their number has returned to 40, 5 of which are large battleships. That prosecutor-class battlecruiser is indeed a great threat. Most of our Cole-class battlecruisers have been damaged
Seriously, it’s hard to shake the prosecutorial shield.” Matt Horner said.
Darth Malthael also had a rare look of worry in his eyes.
Inquisitor-class battlecruiser, 2,500 meters long. Although this kind of battleship was simply destroyed by the Plague Titan battleship during the Cato-Neimoidia planet raid, in fact, it was placed in such a conventional space
On the battlefield, the combat capability of this large warship is still extremely powerful.
This kind of huge, slow and expensive warship is usually used by the Galactic Republic to guard the inner and core planets. Now, for the first time, it has actually sent one to the planet Terminus. It is evident how much the Republic attaches importance to this place.
Matt Horner added: "My next goal is to occupy the two satellites of the planet Terminus, and then build an orbital defense system on the satellites to support operations. Please rest assured that I will do my best to shorten this war.
of the cycle of battles.”
Darth Malthael nodded.
At this time, news from the medical department came through the communication, "General, the body of the Jedi knight shot down by the Exorcist has been recovered and is in the medical room."
