Chapter 378: Shrouded in Darkness (1)

The appearance of the Revelation-class Light Cruiser still caused an uproar, because it was a complete challenge to the authority of the Galactic Republic by the Fourth Group. The sanctions and fines here have not been implemented for you, so you just tore up the Russan Treaty and started selling such over-limit warships on the black market?

Where is the face of my majestic Galactic Republic?

But turning around and thinking about it, the registered headquarters of the Fourth Group is on Planet Mygetto, the headquarters of the Interstellar Banking Clan, and its active place is Nar Shaddaa in the Hutt space. It is a place beyond the control of the Republic!

The Revelation-class Light Cruiser also made several other warship manufacturers extremely nervous. The three warship manufacturers, Kuat Drive Yards, Rendili StarDrive, and Corellian Engineering Corporation, expressed serious concern about this. Each of them purchased 5 to 10 Revelation-class Light Cruisers and was ready to start dismantling and analyzing them.

However, the Ministry of Commerce of the Fourth Group directly rejected their purchase request, so these large ship manufacturers had to turn to others to buy second-hand ones.

But now the sales of the Revelation-class Light Cruisers are booming, and when they want to get the goods, they will wait at least 2 years.

However, they still started an emergency plan, and Kuat Drive Yards immediately started a new Light Cruiser project, chaired by the famous warship design expert Walex Blissex, and the project was named "Arquitens Project".

Corellian Engineering Corporation has also launched a new project, preparing to build a new type of spaceship that costs no more than 5 million credits and can guarantee to defeat the Revelation-class Light Cruiser. The new spaceship is named the Gozanti-class Light Cruiser.

Although Rendili StarDrive has been a bit battered recently because of the competition with Kuat Drive Yards for military orders, it still launched the "546 Project" to prepare for the construction of Light Cruisers.

...

Just when the arms race in the field of Light Cruisers was officially kicking off, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, Sheev Palpatine, also received a communication.

The figure of Count Dooku appeared in the holographic projection, and he seemed a little suspicious, "Your Excellency, do you know Darth Sidious?"

There are two alloy statues at the door of the speaker's office. On the left is the corpse of Darth Plagueis, and on the right is the Lightsaber that he has not used for more than ten years!

...

Count Dooku returned to the Jedi Temple. The news of his withdrawal from the Jedi Order has not yet spread, and with his reputation, even if he is no longer in the Jedi Order, he can come and go freely, at least for now.

He came all the way to the Galaxy database kept in the Jedi Knight Library. The Jedi Knights and Apprentices on the way bowed respectfully when they saw him.

But Count Dooku ignored them. He went into the database, found the information on Planet Kamino, and deleted it directly with a sneer. After that, he purposefully deleted the data of the other 35 planets before turning around and leaving.

The Star Map in the Jedi Database is the most comprehensive in the entire Galaxy, and the existence of some planets in it cannot be known by others, otherwise, it may cause trouble. The planets that Count Dooku deleted were all possible uses in his plan.

Walking out of the Jedi Temple, Count Dooku took out the communicator and connected to Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas , "Has the order for the Clone Army been placed? Master Dyas, my friend."

Sifo-Dyas looked a little tired, "I have signed the contract on behalf of the Jedi Order, the capital injection of the Damask Holding Group has also been completed, and a mercenary named Jango Fett came to volunteer to provide genetic samples. The Clone Army has already begun preparations."

"That is good. You have lit a bright torch for this decaying republic, my friend. So where are you now?" Count Dooku asked.

"I'm on Planet Felucia, where a group of Pykes are smuggling spices." Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas answered honestly without doubting him.

The smile on Count Dooku's face gradually turned cold, "It looks like you need help. I'll come and help you right away."

"This group of Pykes are very cunning, I think I really need your help, Master Dooku." Sifo-Dyas has been doing missions outside and didn't know that Dooku had left the Jedi Order.
