In fact, even if you look at the entire galaxy, Rendili Planet can be ranked in the top three. Ah, or to put it more bluntly, Rendili Planet is the second largest in scale, second only to Coruscant!
In the heyday of Rendili Planet, the total population could reach as many as 600 billion! This is an incredible number, because it means that there is simply not enough space on the surface of the planet to accommodate such a large population.
Therefore, like Coruscant, Rendili Planet also has a layered structure, and more than 3,000 layers are dug under the earth's crust.
However, unlike Coruscant, which can be said to be a comprehensive planet, the industries on Rendili Planet are mainly industrial. The more than 3,600 interstellar shipyards surrounding the planet are supported by countless processing plants, logistics companies, labor service companies, Research Department, management departments and other chains on the planet.
The reason why Rendili Planet has such a large population is actually that their industrial model is a consortium of small workshops. They have many shipbuilding companies that joined together to form Rendili StarDrive. Each of these small companies has its own system and personnel. Over time, there are more and more people, and the planet is constantly being excavated and expanded, so it has become this behemoth with a population of 600 billion.
But their biggest competitor, Kuat Drive Yards, is on a completely different path. The entire Quat Planet only has 3.5 billion people, and Kuat Drive Yards has only one group company. It does not need so many people at all. It directly implements corporate management and forms an industrial chain with other planets in the galaxy, which is enough to meet the requirements.
Therefore, Rendili StarDrive cannot compete with Kuat Drive Yards, and it is not entirely due to political factors.
But now, Rendili StarDrive has joined Confederacy of Independent Systems. In fact, they are mainly based on Tang Xiao, but just like InterGalactic Banking Clan, it is another matter on the surface.
Because Rendili StarDrive joined, Rendili Planet actually joined half-coerced and half-forced. There is no way, who is called Rendili StarDrive has been on the planet for more than 25,000 years. It can be said that there are their people in all walks of life?
For Dawn Territory, the addition of Rendili Planet not only brought them a huge interstellar shipyard, but also brought a huge population base. But at the same time, how to defend Rendili Planet is also a factor they need to consider.
However, unlike Kato-Neimoidia and Balmorra-Neimoidia, the pressure faced by Rendili Planet is not military. Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command will attack a super industrial planet with more than 3,600 interstellar shipyards, a complete industrial system and a population of 600 billion only if he is mentally ill.
Rendili Planet's danger is population.
After all, it is simply impossible to feed a population of 600 billion under the Galactic Republic blockade. Now, in addition to continuous blood transfusions through several secret waterways, the Outer Rim Planets Mutual Aid Fund led by Dawn Territory, the wife of Prime Minister Francis-Underwood, Claire-Underwood, also plays an important role.
In the name of humanitarian aid, mutual aid foundations continue to transport food and supplies into Rendili Planet, and then transport large numbers of immigrants out.
However, this also resulted in Rendili Planet's more than 3,600 Space Shipyard not having enough raw materials to start construction, because all waterways were used to transport food and supplies.
For Dawn Territory, we must seize the last little time now. Because now Galactic Republic still needs to take into account that little face. If hundreds of billions of people in Rendili are really allowed to starve to death, it will have very serious political consequences.
But once Galactic Empire is established, then Sheev-Palpatine will no longer care about this, and he will most likely block Rendili Planet in the most thorough way!
So now Rendili Planet is a huge treasure. Dawn Territory needs to resist Galactic Republic's coveting of the treasure, and at the same time continue to dig out this treasure and make it his own deposit.
In recent months, tens of billions of Rendili residents have moved out, which is a great move. But even so, this is far from enough.
The report submitted by Ministry of the Interior to Tang Xiao stated that Rendili Planet must at least reduce the population to less than 150 billion in order to form a healthy state.
At this moment, the inauguration ceremony of Tang Xiao's Grand Duke of Dawn is still going on. Next, there are gifts from Dawn Territory's major companies and consortiums.
In fact, unlike those races, the company is not actually called a gift. In fact, it just sends some gifts and blessings, and there is no process for showing loyalty.
This is not because these companies are treasonous or anything, but because in the current market environment of the galaxy, those who are qualified to stand on the stage and give gifts to Grand Duke of Dawn when he takes office are without exception behemoths.
In other words, these companies exist across at least hundreds or thousands of galaxies. From the standpoint of these companies, the commercial market is greater than politics, so they cannot put too obvious labels on themselves - after all, Dawn Territory is currently too small to support the market they need. In the final analysis, their business still has to go to Confederacy of Independent Systems or even Galactic Republic.
This naturally includes the companies and groups founded by Dawn Territory himself.
Although those companies and groups are essentially state-owned enterprises of Dawn Territory, they also need to expand, and only through continuous expansion can they meet the requirements of Dawn Territory. And if they want to expand beyond Dawn Territory, they cannot be seen as a company that only works for Dawn Territory.
Dawn Territory still has its own set of management methods for these state-owned companies and groups.
First of all, these companies basically obtain scientific and technological data from the mother ship. Everything they sell to the outside world will be strictly scrutinized by Dawn Territory administrative agencies and cannot cause leaks.
If they want to expand markets elsewhere without being censored, they must develop their own products, not even derivatives of Mothership Technology.
In fact, in the long run, such a strict review system is somewhat detrimental to the development of these companies. But now, Dawn Territory first needs to ensure that his technology is not leaked, and then he will consider the development of these companies.
Anyway, there are actually quite a few super inter-galactic groups active in Dawn Territory, and cooperation with them is also profitable.
