Chapter 225 33BBY
223, 33BBY
Another year has passed in the Milky Way in chaos. During this year, turmoil broke out in many places in the Milky Way, causing the already precarious The Republic is increasingly shaky.
The dispute between the planet Malastar and the Enterprise Alliance, followed by the Battle of Malastar Fjord;
Jabba the Hutt and Gadulla on the planet Tatooine The conflict broke out and a direct confrontation broke out between the two;
Famine occurred on the planet Rodia, and cerebral plague broke out on the planet Jabiem;
Ars-Veruna, the king of the planet Naboo, was involved in a series of scandals and finally announced his abdication;
The Black Sun was suddenly attacked With the joint attack of the Interstellar Banking Association, the Fourth Group, and the Enterprise Alliance, conflicts broke out on hundreds of planets almost simultaneously;
A mysterious planet Sojoron was suddenly blown up for unknown reasons;
br>
The conflict between the conservatives and the technological movement on the planet Seria intensified, and finally a civil war broke out...
In addition, many things happened, such as the Haq people suddenly invaded the Kali people's homeland, and the two sides immediately entered a state of all-out war; the Incholi people tried to seek greater political and military status, etc...< br>
Including Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, there is no longer peace. The status of Chancellor Finis Valorum is in jeopardy. After a series of stupid operations, he completely lost the support of the Judiciary Fleet and became a toothless tiger. . And Deputy Speaker Bothan, who has supported him for more than a decade, is being impeached.
On the contrary, the ring faction members who mainly seek to have more rights and interests on the outer ring planets are becoming more and more powerful. They have made a loud voice in the galactic parliament. This time they impeached the deputy speaker. They were the ones who started the Botan incident.
At the same time, Sheev Palpatine, a member of the Naboo planet who has extraordinary prestige in the parliament, is steadily increasing his influence.
As the old year (34BBY) gradually passes and the new year is ushered in, many people in the galaxy who have suffered are making wishes and praying that chaos can be rectified in the new year, hoping that their lives will become better. , the galaxy has also returned to peace.
But this is destined to be just an extravagant hope...
The conflicts that broke out before are just some manifestations of the continuous intensification of contradictions, but they are far from the time of real detonation.
As time enters 33BBY, the main contradictions in the Galactic Republic have been reflected in the contradictions between the inner ring, the core circle planets and the outer ring planets, as well as the contradictions between the republic government and corporate giants!
Trade Alliance, Enterprise Alliance, Interstellar Banking Association, Commercial Guilds, Technology Alliance, these leading trust groups in the galaxy [Note 1] are becoming more and more powerful, and their tentacles have not only extended their reach into the economy and people's livelihood In all aspects, there are also many supporters in the Galaxy Council, and the trading of power and money has almost reached an unscrupulous level.
It is precisely because of them that the Galactic Republic has almost lost its influence on the outer planets, which makes the ring faction members increasingly dissatisfied with the current situation of the republic. In other words, this has truly affected the unification of the Galactic Republic!
But in fact, almost no one can see clearly that the tyranny of corporate giants and the chaos of the outer planets are controlled by people behind the scenes!
It’s like, when you see a table tennis ball, you will understand that it is spherical, but when you look down at your feet, you cannot tell that you are also standing on a ball. a truth.
When a conspiracy is big enough, no one will think it is a conspiracy!
The Speaker of the Galactic Senate, Finis Valorum, would never know that he was inciting unrest on the outer planets, secretly supporting corporate giants to make them stronger, and constantly stirring up trouble to make the Jedi Order more and more powerful. Many people participated in these conflicts, but at the same time, they also boasted in the parliament that they were loyal to the Republic, and pushed him to speed up the process of taxing the outer planets...
They are all the same person, or two people. Handicraft!
One person plans, the other executes...
And they are the biggest enemies of the Galactic Republic, the Sith!
The one who planned all of this was Darth Plagueis, and the one who executed all of this was Darth Sidious. In front of the public, one of them is the influential financial giant Hego Damask II, and the other is Sheev Palpatine, a respected member of the parliament.
As the old year has finally passed, the Galactic Republic is moving towards the end step by step under their toy.
……
Capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, 33BBY.
Galactic Parliament Building, in Speaker Finis Valorum's office, Speaker Finis Valorum, Deputy Speaker Bothan, and Naboo Planet Councilor Sheev Palpatine are sitting together with low Sound discussion.
"I hope this business summit can allow us to reach a certain consensus with the Trade Federation and Enterprise Alliance. Senator Palpatine, what do you think?" Finis Valoran asked.
Palpatine always had that warm smile on his face, "It would be great to start a dialogue. I conveyed my intention to the governor of the Trade Federation through some connections, and I think they are willing to participate. However, if we want to advance the taxation bill for the Outer Rim Star Region, we need to expand the scope of the meeting.”
"Tell me your opinion."
"The Enterprise Alliance is definitely going to participate. In addition, we can invite giants such as the Interstellar Banking Association and the Commercial Guild, as well as some smaller organizations. Come and participate, I think the Galactic Republic still has enough deterrence against these organizations," Palpatine said.
Phyllis Valoran said: "Very well, let's do as you wish. The planet and venue for the summit must be arranged as soon as possible. You have been working hard recently."
"No, this is what I should do." Palpatine said with a smile, "In addition, this matter also needs to rely on the energy of Deputy Speaker Botan. After all, my foundation in the Republic is still shallow, and I still need Deputy Speaker A respected elder like the Speaker is here to hold the line."
Valoran nodded and said to Botan, "I hope so too, Botan. We have been working together for more than ten years, and you have endured it recently. Too much pressure. Put down what you are doing and go to these planets with Senator Palpatine to relax. We have already heard from all aspects of this summit, and it will definitely be. A successful summit. With this successful experience, I believe you will be able to retire smoothly until the end of your term.”
Deputy Speaker Botan gave a wry smile and said: "I will try my best."

[Note 1: It should be noted that these giants are not separate companies, but trusts. organizational form. It is a joint monopoly organization composed of a large number of companies with similar industries and products]
