986. Rim Faction Rebirth (Part 2)
The members of this faction headed by Ainlee-Senator Tim began to come up with a long-standing name again - Rim Faction (The Rim Faction).
This was once the most powerful faction in the Galactic Republic political arena, and was once composed of many Mid Rims and Council Representatives of Outer Rim Territoriess.
Because Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories occupy more than three-quarters of the entire galaxy, most of these councilors are large in number, and there are also many talented people who are outstanding in all aspects.
During the Galactic Republic period, although Galactic Senate was inefficient, it was the highest-level administrative agency in the entire galaxy. All bills would be discussed and voted on in the parliament before they could be passed. Under such circumstances, Rim Faction with a large number of people naturally has the ability to influence many Galactic Republic decisions.
At this time, let's not talk about who has the biggest fist. Everyone has no fists, and the only weapon in Galactic Republic is Judicial Fleet. So when there was a quarrel in the parliament, don't look at you Quat Planet and Rendili Planet as industrially developed, and don't look at you Muunilinst and Balmorra either. Z-Neimoidia is as rich as a country, but Rim Faction has so many people anyway that no one will give in to a quarrel. In the end, planets like Kuat will have to give them three points.
At that time, Rim Faction still gave many people hope.
Although Outer Rim Territories is poor and backward, they can still make their voices heard among Galactic Republic by uniting. And more or less, we were able to win a lot of policy support from Galactic Republic. Although these policy supports are rarely implemented, at least there is something like this.
But it was not until later that everything started to change with the rise of Separatists.
The clouds of war began to hang over the galaxy, and almost everyone was discussing the war. At this time, Rim Faction also began to find that something was wrong.
Since Battle of Malastare Canyon, everyone has discovered that there is still an option to resort to force! As a result, changes began to occur in the parliament, and even within Rim Faction.
When the threat of force becomes a real possibility, many Rim Faction Senator begin to consider security more when considering problems. And they also started talking more about money, because only with more money can they buy more warships to protect themselves.
At this time, the real and unshakable advantages of MPs Core Worlds and Core Worlds began to be reflected.
In the election after Phineas-Chancellor Valorum stepped down, a large number of Rim Faction Senator turned against each other during the election process, and even The leader of Rim Faction at the time, Rynoth Council Representative Orn Free Tower, also openly rebelled and supported Sheev-Palpatine as the speaker.
This also marked the demise of Rim Faction. After that, although Francis-Underwood briefly supported Ainlee-Tim and rebuilt Rim Faction, it could not fundamentally change the problem.
But now, among the Confederacy of Independent Systems dominated by Outer Rim of the galaxy and Mid Rim, Rim Faction is reborn again!
And this time, Ainlee-Tim also proposed very specific and very strict regulations. He stipulated the conditions and assessment standards that need to be met to join Rim Faction, and stipulated the obligations, responsibilities and rights that Rim Faction members need to perform.
There are even positions in Rim Faction with different levels, different functions and different responsibilities, which are very strict and clear. This is completely the standard of a political party!
Rim Faction has not only been reborn, but has also grown further. It is not just a loose political association, but now a political party with a common ideal and a common program!
For Tang Xiao, this is the real role of Ainlee-Tim and Rim Faction! Without their existence, including Cooperative Alliance, all long-term political plans are empty talk!
Moreover, he did not let Cooperative Alliance participate in the affairs of Rim Faction, and he also did not let Ainlee-Tim join Cooperative Alliance. In other words, he is actually controlling several chess pieces in different aspects at the same time.
This is a huge political layout!
The first thing Rim Faction did after his rebirth was to launch a strong challenge to Count Dooku in the council of Confederacy of Independent Systems! They used peace initiatives as a weapon to force Count Dooku to make concessions in this regard.
After Count Dooku had an hour-long debate with Ainlee-Tim on Raxus Prime's Senate Chamber, he returned to his office to secretly talk to Tang Xiao, and then secretly discussed it with Archangel of Death.
Then, he found Das-Sidious and raised the current problems with Confederacy of Independent Systems.
"Lord, after Ainlee-Tim returned to Malastare, he began to use his influence to win over a large number of parliamentarians and continued to advocate peace, which made our situation very passive." Count Dooku half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully to Sidious, who was wearing a black cloak in the holographic projection.
"I have said many times that I have no interest in playing political games with those Outer Rim planets! Why are Mina-Bontri still alive now? Including Ainlee-Tim, I also need to see his body dismembered within three days!" Das-Sidious growled impatiently.
"I have sent a killer to assassinate Mina-Bontri, but it failed... and Ainlee-Tim is from Coruscant After came back, he paid great attention to his own security. Now if he takes action rashly, I'm afraid Confederacy of Independent Systems's politics will lose control," Count Dooku said.
"How much control do you think you can have now? My great, far-sighted, and wise Count Dooku." Das-Sidious mocked, "Separatist Movement is almost here. Even if your politics gets out of control, so what? Think carefully, Count Dooku..."
Das-Sidious's voice was fatally bewitching, "Your future should be on the side of mankind, on the Core Worlds side of the Milky Way, on the New Order side that we are about to establish! Not on the side of those Outer Rim barbarians who are simply unruly!"
"But... things are very complicated..." Count Dooku wanted to say something more, but was interrupted.
"Shut up!" Darth-Sidious roared, "I'm tired of you talking to me about difficulties. Now, either you can prove to me that you are still firm in your ideals for New Order, and you are still a valuable person! Or, follow those barbaric and backward Outer Rim planets and be crushed into pieces by this war!!"
The Dark Side Force around his body became like substance, and the voice seemed to come from all directions, gloomy and terrifying, "You should see with your own eyes... the power of New Order!"
