1903. The Dilemma of Lothal (Part 1)
Lothal is a planet located in a very remote area of the outer ring of the Milky Way.
This planet is located in the northeastern boundary of the Milky Way, even more remote than the Dark planet (Mon Calamari planet) that was originally on the edge. Normally, if you want to go from the core circle of the Milky Way to Losar As for the planet, it would take at least a month of running in the hyperspace channel and dozens of jumps.
However, although the place is very remote, the planet Losar is a place with a very suitable climate. There are almost no extreme terrains and climates, and there are vast plains. In addition, few people are willing to come to such a remote place, so the Losar planet is like a paradise to the indigenous people here.
The population of the planet Losar has always been between 200 million and 300 million. There are less than a hundred cities and settlements established on the planet. The residents here mainly work as farmers and live a peaceful life. Life.
Even after the Clone Wars broke out, the planet Lothal, although loyal to the Galactic Republic, declared neutrality and would not participate in the war. And because this planet is not a major transportation artery and has little strategic value, even after the Federation of Independent Systems took control of the Dark planet, the robot army did not come here.
However, neutrality is neutral. Due to its geographical location, the connection between the planet Losar and the Galactic Republic has been severed since the outbreak of the war until now. This has also caused this planet The current predicament of the planet.
The dilemma started three years ago.
At that time, the Galactic Empire failed to attack the Principality of Dawn, and the Principality of Dawn was unable to continue the war, so the two sides abandoned the Confederation of Independent Systems and negotiated a separate peace, and the Principality of Dawn withdrew from the war. As they withdrew from the war, they also included the races under the Principality of Dawn, such as the Salarians, the Grans, the Dagurs, the Salestans, and so on.
But under such circumstances, the Grand Duke of the Dawn Principality suddenly issued an order that seemed illogical - he agreed that the Given people under the Dawn Principality should immigrate to the planet Losar!
In fact, when the government of Planet Losar received this order, they were completely confused.
If nothing else, does our planet Losar belong to the Galactic Republic? ! That's right, the Galactic Republic is now gone and has been reorganized into the Galactic Empire. Although the planet Losar has not actively surrendered, at least its position is still there. Why do you, the Grand Duke of Dawn, a former separatist, give us orders?
Yes, the planet Losar had its own little thoughts after the fall of the Galactic Republic.
Because this planet has always maintained a high degree of independence, both its economy and culture are out of touch with the mainstream of the galaxy. Therefore, when major changes occurred in the Galactic Republic, the government of the planet Losar The thing to think about is – autonomy.
They want to transform themselves into an autonomous dominion, and then it has nothing to do with me how you fight and kill in the galaxy, I will just grow vegetables.
But this immigration order without any warning from Grand Duke Tang Xiao broke all this!
Less than two months after the order was issued, the first immigrant spacecraft arrived over the planet Losar! These immigrant spacecraft passed through Hutt space, then passed through the area controlled by the Federation of Independent Systems, and finally came all the way through the planet Dark. Count Dooku will certainly not stop such immigration, because in the long run, this immigration will have a very good effect on the strength of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Needless to say, the industrial strength of the Jivin people is as long as they successfully complete the immigration on the Losar planet. The warships and industrial products they produce will definitely be sold to the Confederation of Independent Systems nearby!
Isn’t this much better than some of the food and vegetables that the natives of the planet Losar usually sell?
The government of the planet Losar immediately issued a formal protest to the Principality of Dawn! But they were so indifferent at all that the envoys they photographed didn't even see Tang Xiao in person and were kicked out directly.
Then they went to find the Galactic Empire for arbitration. The Galactic Empire was also very uninterested - who are you? The empire has been established for more than half a year now. You were nothing before, but now you are bullied and come to the empire for help?
Of course, as one of the core races of the Dawn Principality, the immigration of the Given people, this matter has been continuously reported to the top brass of the Galactic Empire. However, after analysis, the imperial military believes that the immigration of the Jiwen people is actually a good thing for the empire!
The Jivin people have always guarded the Yago-Dur system, making it a difficult nut to crack. Previously, the Galactic Republic sent Admiral Gideon Tarkin to storm the Yago-Durr system, but failed. This fiasco was also one of the triggers for the final collapse of the Galactic Republic.
So now, the Given people, who have strong industrial capabilities and computing power, want to immigrate and leave, and the Galactic Empire naturally supports it with both hands and feet! In the view of the imperial military, the Jivin people's attempt to immigrate to the planet Losar is simply opening the door to the Principality of Dawn!
Now they are eager for the Jiwen people to get out of here. How can they still care about the idea of Losar, a planet that thinks about autonomy all day long.
But what the Galactic Empire didn't actually understand was that for the Dawn Principality, the Jiwen people moved away as soon as they moved away. At worst, they could just build a star gate and come back at any time.
A three-body environment like the Yago-Dur system is inherently a double-edged sword. For example, the violent astronomical changes that led to the defeat of the Galactic Republic also caused the Yago-Dur planet to be reorganized. Our own industry has reduced its production capacity by more than half, and it will take a long time to recover.
After all, the entire planet was shot out like a pinball, so it would be surprising if the result was good!
Furthermore, the act of handing over the planet Losar to the Given people is equivalent to using other people’s things to give away, and it can also gain greater loyalty from the Given people. It is a completely costless transaction!
Of course, the Principality of Dawn did not say a word. Their official rhetoric was very high-sounding. The general meaning is that the Losar planet has not been fully developed and has almost no industrial system of its own. As a result, the residents on the planet are below the poverty line and can barely satisfy their needs.
Moreover, it's not that the planet Losar has no resources, it's just that the indigenous people lack the ability to convert these resources into wealth.
The most important thing is that the Losar planet is so big, and you only have less than 300 million indigenous people. There is enough space to accommodate the Given people! The Jiwen people are very pitiful. They live in the Trisolaran Galaxy and are in danger of being exterminated at any time. What's wrong with setting aside an area on your huge planet for the Jiwen people? What about your free thoughts? Where is your tolerance? (End of this chapter)
