580. Gambler's mentality
Attacking Christophsis is definitely not a simple matter.
Christophsis, 9465 kilometers in diameter, is in the shape of a blue-green crystal.
This is one of the most economically developed planets among Outer Rim Territories. It is located near Corellian Trade Route, close to Hutt Space, and adjacent to the traffic artery Tatooine on the edge of Hutt Space. At the same time, it is also very close to Rodian planet.
As a planet with almost inexhaustible crystal resources, Christophsis has received great attention from the beginning.
Even because this planet has been hit by asteroids for a long time, 600 years ago, nobles from Tepasi (Tepasi), the commercial center of Galaxy Core Worlds, paid a high price to artificially create a moon directly next to Christophsis, using the moon's gravity and the defense system installed on it to prevent asteroid impacts.
Huge resource reserves have brought astronomical financial returns, and the huge gap in job opportunities has led to an endless influx of immigrants. Various mining companies and trading companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. And although this planet is still some distance away from Corellian Trade Route, and the transportation is not developed, after all, Tatooine is not far away, so the smuggling industry on this planet is also very developed.
Many smugglers travel between Christophsis and Tatooine, selling illegally mined crystals into the black market through various channels, and then transporting them to all dark corners of the galaxy.
Many gangs and illegal organizations will recruit some Force talent who have a little bit of Force talent, but Jedi Order doesn't like it, and then buy some pure Force-sensitive on the black market The low-quality Kyber Crystal is made into weapons such as inferior Lightsaber to show off. The source of many of these Kyber Crystal is Christophsis.
By the way, these people's Lightsaber is really just for show. If they really get into a fight over a disagreement, they will throw away their Lightsaber very decisively, yell, 'Sir, times have changed...' and then pull out their blasters and shoot directly.
On Christophsis, human immigrants account for the majority, about 68%. Due to the unique climate and lighting on the planet, these humans have very dark skin, and they like to inlay crystals on their foreheads or bodies as decorations.
In addition, about 13% of the population is Rodian. Most of them are bounty Hunter and are employed by various companies on the planet. There are also 11% of Kloiden. Most of this strong, beast-like race are mercenaries.
Under such a basic structure, the total population of Christophsis is——
35 billion!
It can be said that the total population of just such a planet is 20 times the current population directly controlled by Fourth Civilization!
Although Christophsis does not have a very developed industrial system, their economy is developed enough and rich enough to hire enough mercenaries and bounty Hunter to fight for them, and this terrifying population base alone determines the power of this planet.
A planet full of crystals cannot be a toothless tiger.
General Trench went directly to Mulcana planet, which is one of the core planets of the Corporate Alliance. He found the chairman of the Corporate Alliance, Kuriwa Pacell Argent, and said to him, "We should attack, Christophsis, tut tut tut tut..."
"Christophsis has high value, but it is definitely not easy to give in. To conquer this planet, we need to pay more." Parcel Argent said, "Unless you have any good plan."
"There is no plan to win... tsk tsk tsk tsk... but this is the only chance." General Trench stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "Galactic Republic just suffered a defeat. Their strength is... insufficient, tusk tusk tusk... If we wait for them to recover, we will have to pay more... tusk tusk tusk."
Parcel Argent nodded and fell into deep thought.
General Trench added, "Rodian only recognizes money but not people. But Kloiden, you can fight for it... tsk tsk tsk tsk. We can also find more help... I remember, Corporate Alliance and Retail Clan (Retail Clan) has a very good relationship, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"Kloiden... you mean Retail Clan. Indeed, they have a good relationship with Kloiden. However, we now lack battleships. They were originally planned to be used to attack Christophsis's fleet suffered heavy losses in Geonosis. Of course, I'm not blaming you, but now we don't have many warships on hand to carry out this large-scale operation before the new batch of warships leave the factory," said Parcell Argent.
General Trench put a memory on the table and pushed it over, and said slowly, "In business, there is no guaranteed profit without loss... tsk tsk tsk tsk. But if you don't place bets, you will never make money. tsk tsk tsk tsk... I heard that Semirians has a group of battleships there, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
After saying that, he turned and left here.
Parcell Argent opened the memory and saw a long list of data inside. It was the capital flow of Christophsis that year. This series of data was quite large. Although he didn't know the accuracy, it could be seen how rich this crystal planet was.
Looking at the long series of zeros in the data, Parcell Argent's eyes became intense.
He pressed the communication button and said eagerly, "Tinari Jin, tell me, how many fleets do we have now?"
A female Kuriwa with red skin, a blue robe, and a bird's tongue on her head appeared in the holographic projection. "I think we don't have any more fleets. We are engaged in fierce battles against the offensives of Bothawui (Bothawui) and Lanuos (Lanuos), especially those Bosa. Their resistance is very determined."
"If we want to attack Christophsis, how sure are we?" Parcell Argent then asked.
"This is simply impossible!" Tinari King concluded straightforwardly.
Parcell Argent was still unwilling to give in. He thought for a moment and said, "Go and contact Semirians. They should still have a fleet in their hands! Tell them that I have a big business to do! Also, pick up Retail Clan for me and I will talk to them personally!"
