1011.Mon Calamari Dispute (Part 2)

In Quarren's constant struggle, they finally won something.

Since more than 400 years ago, Quarren has been allowed to work in the core of high-level politics, and Quarren will also have a seat in the delegation of Mon Calamari.

Considering the outcome and status of Quarren after the war 4500 years ago, it can actually be understood that Mon Calamari was the most benevolent and righteous person.

But the greedy Quarren is not satisfied, they want more. More and more Quarren political groups are beginning to seek the rotational election of the planet's king, hoping to gain access to the planet's supreme dominance.

But this is the bottom line of Mon Calamari, which can never be accepted. And Quarren also knows this, so most of the time they just talk.

However, with the chaos of the political situation at the end of Galactic Republic, someone finally began to put this into practice.

Mon Calamari Among the delegation of Galactic Senate, the representative of Quarren - MP Tikkes (Tikkes) is their leader.

When Separatist Movement of Count Dooku was rising, Tikkes got in touch with Count Dooku, and also received the commitment and support of Count Dooku. He established Quarren Isolation League with the intention of letting Quarren replace Mon Calamari and become the master of the planet.

Count Dooku also took a fancy to Quarren's outstanding engineering capabilities. He believed that if Tikkes's operation could succeed, then he would get Mon Calamari, which can be said to be the leading industrial planet in Outer Rim Territories, and it is an industrial planet capable of independently designing and building large warships!

This is extremely precious to the Separatists forces with a very weak industrial base.

A year ago, when the war just broke out, Tikkes thought that his time had come, so he asked Quarren Isolation League to launch an uprising in Mon Calamari. He gathered a large number of underwater combat robots obtained from Count Dooku and launched an attack on the city of Mon Calamari.

However, although Galactic Republic was extremely embarrassed at the beginning of the war, it still mobilized a Acclamator-class assault ship force, led by Jedi Master Kit Festo, to launch a counterattack.

Kit Fisto is also an aquatic race and is at home with Mon Calamari. Under his leadership, Mon Calamari successfully launched a counterattack and defeated Quarren Isolation League. Tikkes had to flee in a hurry.

After that, Yos Kolina, the then king of Mon Calamari, still said very generously that Quarren Isolation League was just a small poke at the extremists, and invited another Quarren again - Tundra-Dormé Dowmeia) joined the Council Representative team of Mon Calamari to speak out among Galactic Senate on behalf of those Quarren who yearn for unity and peace.

In fact, compared to Caladan Planet, Tibrin, and Jabiim planet, where Galactic Republic mostly plays a negative role, the dispute between Mon Calamari is really about Quarren seeking his own death.

After the failure of the uprising, Quarren Isolation League, led by Tikkes, came to the colonies Parmant and Minntooine (Minntooine) planets that were once controlled by Quarren, and used the industrial base here to establish the largest shipbuilding center of Confederacy of Independent Systems at present.

Many of their shipbuilding blueprints were stolen from Mon Calamari's ship design bureau during the uprising.

They built the huge Port Pament on Parmant, started building Conqueror-class battleship and Deceiver-class destroyer for Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Defiant-class light destroyer.

At the same time, a huge shipbuilding industry enterprise-Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps was also established. This name also revealed their yearning for their home planet Dak Planet. Quarren has never admitted that their home planet is called Mon Calamari. They always believe that this planet should be called its original name-Dak Planet.

They have never forgotten their home planet or their ambitions.

As the war continued to advance, especially after General Grievous launched Festival Offensive and almost crossed the galaxy, Mon Calamari found that he had been deeply isolated behind the forces of Separatists. The communication between them and Galactic Republic was only connected by an unstable hyperspace channel.

After that, General Grievous ignited the war to Antar system of Inner Rim of the galaxy, and the situation became even more desperate for Mon Calamari.

So... Count Dooku and Senator Tix once again extended their claws to this troubled planet.

Moreover, Dawn Star Planet and Das-Malthael are also involved, making the situation more complicated.

In April of 21BBY, King Jos Corina of Mon Calamari was assassinated. This unexpected incident once again sharpened the conflict between Mon Calamari and Quarren on the planet.

According to formal procedures, Prince Lee Char, son of Jos Collina, should inherit the throne. However, Prince Lee Char is still young, and many citizens, including Mon Calamari, are not optimistic that Prince Lee Char can lead Mon Calamari forward in this war-torn era.

Seizing this opportunity, Quarren's leader on Mon Calamari, Sonori, said that he could temporarily regent and lead Mon Calamari until Prince Lee-Char grew up, and then return to the throne.

Sonori As a politician who has governed this planet for decades following King Jos-Corina, he is fully qualified. The worst thing is that in comparison, almost none of Mon Calamari's politicians at the same time can match the popularity of Sonori.

Now, the situation becomes complicated.

Sonori and Quarren were naturally unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they were very tough on the matter of succession to the throne. He raised the matter to the level of the safety of the entire planet and race, and refused to allow Prince Lee-Char to inherit the throne.

Seeing that the two races were on the verge of civil war again, Mon Calamari had no choice but to ask Galactic Republic for mediation.

Count Dooku also seized this opportunity and claimed that Galactic Republic's position was completely biased towards Mon Calamari. This mediation was invalid, so he also sent a special envoy.

The special envoy sent by Count Dooku included three people——

The shark-like aquatic race Karkarodon Riff Tamson, Salarian Langdon Winnaldon, and...

Edra-Kadis! -
