Alderaan, located in the busy star field of the Galactic Empire, is a planet that many routes pass through. In the entire Star Wars series, Alderaan is probably the planet most similar to Earth. It is beautiful, peaceful, and prosperous, so it is also called the Shining Star.
In the movie "Revenge of the Sith", Anakin's wife Padmé Amidala gave birth prematurely on the spaceship. After giving birth to her daughter Leia and son Luke, she closed her eyes forever.
Faced with the problem of how to protect the twin siblings, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Senator Bail Organa discussed and decided to separate the siblings to avoid the Empire's pursuit.
In the end, Obi-Wan took Luke to Tatooine and handed him over to a childless farmer to adopt, while Obi-Wan secretly protected him.
Senator Bail Organa brought Leia back to Alderaan to raise her as his own daughter, and began to secretly establish a secret resistance alliance, which was the future Rebel Alliance.
Due to the lack of solid evidence and the Empire's main focus on suppressing rebel uprisings and hunting down remaining Jedi, Alderaan had been peaceful for the past ten years. Until today, a huge alarm suddenly resounded throughout the planet.
"It's bad, Governor. We've detected an unknown armed fleet suddenly warping into our system!"
Bail Organa was hosting a family banquet in the castle when he suddenly heard the news from his subordinates and his expression immediately became serious.
"Immediately activate the planetary defense system, and the garrison troops immediately enter alert status! The planetary fleet begins to depart the port! All major functional departments quickly organize civilians to enter the shelter!"
Bail Organa, as the planetary governor of Alderaan and the head of the royal family here, coupled with his heroic record in the Clone Wars and his own strong political acumen, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and issued a series of orders!
You couldn't blame him for being overly cautious, because he knew exactly what he was secretly plotting. Who could suddenly arrive at this time? The rebels? Those disgusting top consortiums? Or... the Empire? Moreover, they had warped an armed fleet over without any prior notice, so they must be up to no good!
After giving all the instructions, Bail Organa continued to ask with a serious expression, "Do you know the other party's identity? How many warships have they sent? Have they requested to communicate with us?"
There were a lot of gasps from the other end of the communicator, and it took a long while before the detected images were shared with Bail Organa's communication terminal.
When Bail Organa saw the scene, his pupils suddenly changed and his whole body trembled, as if the sky was about to fall.
In the picture, thousands of warships were advancing in an orderly manner, driving all the cargo ships in the channel. Leading the way were the Empire's various Star Destroyers, and the "Eclipse-class Star Destroyers" clustered in the middle.
"That...that is...the Emperor's carriage? Did Palpatine come here in person?"
Bail Organa couldn't believe it!
A large number of cargo ships that were originally sailing in the direction of the fleet also recognized the identity of the "Eclipse-class" star destroyer. They all dared not say a word and immediately gave way.
Even the planetary officials who maintained order in the trade routes were too frightened to say a word, let alone go up to inquire and stop it.
Are you kidding? So what if there are tons of new warships? Do we even need to verify their identities? The Eclipse-class Star Destroyer proves it all! Who dares to stop us? Are you tired of living?
The massive fleet marched unimpeded to the outer space of Alderaan. Bail Organa knew he could not resist and could only wait patiently for the Emperor's arrival.
At least, he'd wait and see what the situation was. If his plot was exposed, he could only accept his fate and beg for mercy from the Emperor, hoping he'd spare the people of Alderaan. Meanwhile, he secretly arranged for his trusted men to take Leia away and send her to Tatooine to seek Obi-Wan's protection.
However, perhaps everything he did was unnecessary...
As early as a few hours ago, the exploration ship of the Light Chaser Fleet was stopped by a patrol ship within the Empire. They said that your spacecraft is not registered and your whereabouts are suspicious, and they need to be boarded for inspection.
As a result, Chang Wei immediately drove several star destroyers, including the Emperor's car, over. This scene scared the enemy battleship commander to death. By the way, he was also brought over and enjoyed a colonel meal, and was slapped dozens of times. "You! Die!"
The opposing warship commander didn't dare to say a word, his face swollen as he continued to nod and grovel, apologizing profusely. It wasn't until the warship was detained, the crew disarmed, and the star map data taken away that he suddenly realized he had been deceived.
After this incident, Chang Wei understood the true purpose of the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. It was to use it as a banner. As long as the Emperor's spies didn't find out, he could do whatever he wanted, and no one would dare to stop him.
Even if someone is suspicious, verifying their identity would require authorization and time, right? And can they afford the risk? Don't they see the numerous warships lurking around? Therefore, upon discovering this massive fleet, many people would turn a blind eye, unwilling to wade into such turmoil. A junior officer in the Empire only earns this little monthly salary, and you're asking me to risk my life? Isn't that ridiculous?
