2230. Battle of Kato-Neimoidia (middle)
With the increasing number of wars in various parts of the galaxy and the gradually shrouding clouds of war, 12BBY has come to an end.
After entering 11BBY, Trade Federation's situation went from bad to worse. They were no longer able to continue this war. All the remaining resistance was just a trapped beast still fighting, which was the final act of madness.
Galactic Empire After experiencing the initial chaos, it quickly relied on powerful military and industrial power to stabilize the situation.
The first is Outer Rim Territories, which was cut off from the waterway by Trade Federation, or refused to share navigation data, resulting in temporary disconnection. Large-scale riots broke out in these places when traffic was initially cut off, killing the Empire officials and overthrowing the Empire's rule. However, thanks to the efforts of astronomers, hyperspace experts, deep space navigation robots, etc., Galactic Empire gradually resumed traffic after a few months.
And those planets where riots occurred, without exception, were brutally and bloody suppressed!
Such suppression naturally aroused more resistance. These planets had basically been sown with the seeds of resistance, and under the command of an invisible hand, they were broken into pieces, hiding again, and waiting for the opportunity to appear.
Galactic Empire is currently burning with fires everywhere. They have not noticed that the resistance movements in various places have gradually changed from random destruction by scattered soldiers to becoming more organized. Moreover, this kind of organization is not based on planets or star locations, but may even involve the layout of the entire galaxy!
Secondly, those companies that were in danger because Trade Federation was attacked gradually calmed down under the official appeasement of the Galactic Empire. After all, those are businessmen, and businessmen are driven by profit. They are not willing to stand up and confront others, especially this goal, which is invincible Galactic Empire.
After making a large number of promises, the large enterprises and consortiums of the within the Empire also accepted the official mediation of the Galactic Empire, and also accepted the statement that this military operation was only targeting Trade Federation.
And more importantly, there are substantial benefits! Such as Vulpter and Arakyd Industries.
Although Vulpter was destroyed by the war, it was not completely plowed to the ground. Many of the factories above were still working. This is especially true for Arakyd Industries. As one of the three major robot manufacturers in the galaxy, their industry and supply chain are not limited to Vulpter, but a huge system spanning thousands of planets. These have become the spoils of the Galactic Empire, and are put on the dining table for those corporate consortiums to divide up.
And the existence of Trade Federation, which once became the largest commercial entity in the galaxy, is an extremely huge cake. The size of Arakyd Industries is only a component of Trade Federation. In the past glory of Trade Federation, there were thousands of companies, and some of them were even larger than Arakyd Industries!
These companies and enterprises have all become the targets of the Galactic Empire's plunder. At the same time, this is also the most substantial benefit. It blocks the mouths of other companies and allows these capitalists who have sucked Trade Federation's blood to sit down again, talk about their loyalty to the Galactic Empire, and imagine the next carve-up target.
Maybe...Fourth Group is good.
Of course, if you can score Makito, then InterGalactic Banking Clan (M) will naturally be an excellent goal!
Many nobles, wealthy families, giant companies, and capital gradually forgot the terror and despair of Clone Wars, and began to fantasize again about the benefits that war can bring.
In terms of diplomacy, Galactic Empire firmly suppressed Duchy of Dawn, and continuously organized military exercises and cruises in Fondor Planet and Kira planet where heavy troops were gathered to promote its military presence. Duchy of Dawn also responded by conducting a series of military exercises on the corresponding Yago-Dur planet and Eriadu.
Both sides have adopted a posture of fighting if they disagree, but in fact they are fighting a wolf with a straw - both sides are afraid, and they do not want to start a war at this time. They all feel that their war preparations have not been completed, and they all feel that once they complete their preparations, they will inevitably achieve final victory.
So at this stage, Galactic Empire and Duchy of Dawn don't want Trade Federation's incident to hinder their original plans.
But no matter what, Galactic Empire's actions did make Duchy of Dawn dare not go too far. He never sent any real force to reinforce Trade Federation, but only played a side role.
Finally, it is those people who sympathize with Trade Federation.
Galactic Empire's publicity agency spared no effort to promote Trade Federation as an evil, cruel, and ruthless super giant. And let all the people believe that their miserable lives are precisely because Trade Federation controls the transportation and logistics in most areas of the galaxy and imposes high transportation fees, thus causing prices to skyrocket.
In addition, Trade Federation is indeed indifferent in many places, and this kind of propaganda was quickly accepted by the public.
Not only that, Galactic Empire also announced the establishment of the Public Transportation Department to take over the transportation and logistics business of Trade Federation. And Public Transportation Department promises to reduce transportation costs and thereby reduce prices, which is the direction of their future efforts.
So in such a series of Company One actions, Trade Federation finally became a loner, struggling to persevere alone in the war against the Galactic Empire.
The current war has burned down Trade Federation's three major Wealth Worlds in the galaxy Core Worlds - Kato, Deko and Koru. Among them, Kato-Neimoidia is where the battle is most intense.
Das-Vader believed that a frontal attack on Kato-Neimoidia's defense line would inevitably cause serious losses, so he carried out special operations and sent more than 200 groups of the most elite warriors Orbital Drop to the planet, including Clone Force 99.
Although most of these troops were wiped out by Trade Federation's defenders, the fire made true gold, and the troops that survived in the end were all the best among the best!
These fighters continue to carry out sabotage on the planet, including assassinations, kidnappings, and blowing up high-value targets such as space ports, warehouses, and material transfer stations, causing very serious losses to Trade Federation. And what is more fatal than the losses is the leakage of a large amount of intelligence.
The information currently on the table of Das-Vader contains a large amount of information on military deployment, material supply, and personnel mobilization within the planet.
Moreover, the battleships gathered from various places further strengthened Das-Vader's fleet, and he really began to think about the time for a general attack!
