63 days have passed since the Galactic Empire laid siege to the planet Balmorra. The Trade Federation finally failed to do what Tang Xiao asked for, and stubbornly resisted the request for the last two months (70 days). With 7 days left, it announced that it was complete.
surrender.
Forty days before this, the planet Neimoidia, the home planet of the Neimoidians, had also completely turned into a sea of fire. Nearly 1 billion Neimoidians died during the siege and orbital bombardment of the Galactic Empire.
.This planet that gave birth to one of the richest races in the galaxy has now become a completely uninhabited dead land.
After the Trade Federation surrendered, the Galactic Empire's army marched into the planet Balmorra and completely took over one of the largest industrial centers in the Inner Circle.
However, what now falls into the hands of the Galactic Empire is no longer the industrial center that supports the Trade Federation's huge business volume, but a devastated ruins.
In the attack and defense of the planet Balmorra, the Trade Federation invested almost all of its combat robots. The total number of combat robots of various types deployed on the planet's surface reached 11 billion!
After the initial limited orbital bombardment, Imperial Fleet Commander Darth Vader immediately launched a landing operation, trying to protect as many factories on the planet as possible. However, the landing force of the Galactic Empire encountered as many battles as the sea.
Robot attack!
Almost every imperial army position was attacked by hundreds of millions of battle robots. The formations of robots had no end in sight, covering mountains and plains, everywhere!
Even because the supply of weapons cannot be guaranteed, most of the B-1 combat robots are empty-handed. But with the output power of the combat robot, even if it hits it with an iron fist, it is still a very fatal threat!
In the landing battle in the first two days, the Galactic Empire lost more than 300,000 landing troops. Several landing positions were filled with rivers of blood and corpses piled up in mountains.
Afterwards, Darth Vader had to order an indiscriminate saturation orbital bombing of the planet Balmoral!
This orbital bombing lasted for a whole month! Most of the factories and warehouses were completely destroyed during the bombing. The planet became a purgatory, and everywhere it passed, molten steel gathered into blazing rivers.
This flow is not just molten steel, it is clearly countless empire credits! But the Galactic Empire will completely capture the planet Balmorra even if it uses this method of self-destruction. The mistake of the Rendili planet cannot be allowed to happen again.
For the second time, even if I can’t get it myself, I definitely can’t let the Principality of Dawn get it!!
Even the final occupation was just a formality. Because when the imperial army stepped onto the surface of this red-hot planet, there were almost no living creatures on this planet.
The furious Palpatine ordered the extermination of all Neimoidians in the galaxy on the spot, but the members of the Imperial Council strongly discouraged him, because if he really did this, the Galactic Empire would be in a disgraceful situation.
The war came to an even more ignominious end.
This will further reduce the credibility of the empire and lead to more frequent and worse uprisings and riots.
Finally, Palpatine changed the order of extermination to an order of expulsion, confiscated all property of all Neimoidians in the empire, distributed a small amount of dry food to each person, and asked them to leave the country within a time limit.
This war, recorded as a 'trade war' by the Galactic Empire, lasted for nine months. The Galactic Empire paid a heavy price and finally completely uprooted the Trade Federation.
The Trade Alliance, a super-enterprise that rose up like a lightning and fell like a meteor, grew from becoming the largest corporate entity in the galaxy to being completely destroyed and became a state-owned holding company of the Principality of Dawn. It existed for a total of 339 years.
Once upon a time, they were the symbol of the outer star region. The planets in the outer ring of the galaxy only knew the Trade Federation and not the Galactic Republic. But after a series of conspiracy calculations and head-on confrontations, they finally came to an end.
After the planet Balmorra was captured, the Trade Federation was completely disbanded and reorganized, and was renamed Neimoidia Logistics Company. Newt Gunray resigned, and he became the sinner of the Neimoidians, but later also became the leader of the Tang Dynasty.
Under Xiao's arrangement, Secret is enjoying a prosperous and peaceful life on a remote planet.
He died 20 years later - the 17th year of the official establishment of the Fourth Reich.
Tang Xiao did not break his promise. He gave two habitable planets that were devoured by Mongar-Mongal to the Neimoidians, so that the Neimoidians who were being expelled from the empire one after another could have something to do.
Home can be relied upon.
These two planets were named 'New Neimoidia Planet' and 'New Balmoral Planet' by Neimoidia Planet in order to commemorate the countless compatriots who died in this war. In the days that followed, they
It started again in the transportation industry and became one of the top logistics groups in the Fourth Reich.
And the Galactic Empire was finally able to extract itself from the quagmire of the trade war, like a tired giant, cleaning its wounds bit by bit.
Countless industries left behind by the Trade Federation have been annexed. As the largest enterprise in the galaxy, the Trade Federation's industries are naturally not only those wealth planets and industrial planets, but their industries are spread throughout the galaxy.
At the same time, the Galactic Empire also temporarily froze the wealth plundered from the Trade Federation's wealth planets on the grounds that the assets were unknown, and did not return them to the noble families in the core circle.
This wave of naked plundering has somewhat recouped a lot of war costs for the Galactic Empire, allowing this heavy war machine to continue to operate.
…
At the same time, something that originally seemed inconspicuous finally ignited the powder keg of the Milky Way that was already on the verge of exploding!
In April 11 BBY, while the trade war was still going on, the Galactic Empire issued a wanted order against the Zane Consortium for the third time, banned all their business qualifications, and required them to leave the Salukami planet within a time limit.
The Galactic Empire quickly ordered the Tag Company, which had been in the spotlight recently, to set up a garbage disposal company specifically to go to the Salukami planet to dispose of the countless battleship ruins.
At the same time, at the initiative of the Imperial Council, the Galactic Empire began to carry out a series of anti-corruption and anti-criminal operations in the outer ring sector - anyway, as long as it did not involve the inner ring and the core circle, such anti-corruption actions still received huge support.
According to this operation, many gang organizations and corrupt officials entrenched in the outer ring have been severely cracked down.
The Galactic Empire obviously intends to use this series of actions to restore its war strength as soon as possible and get itself back on the right track of military expansion and war preparations.
But things backfired...Obviously for some people, this Galactic Empire that quieted down and began to clean up its internal affairs was definitely not what they wanted.
On May 33, 11 BBY, a photo of the starry sky was placed in front of the desk of Emperor Palpatine.
This photo is of a planet in the unknown star field, called Levik Planet. It was once occupied by the Xilu people, and based on it, the Xilu Empire was established.
But this is not important. The most important thing is that in the synchronous orbit of a satellite near Levik's planet, there is an extremely huge ring-shaped structure floating impressively!
In the center of the ring structure, there is an energy ripple that looks like a ripple, and countless spaceships are entering and exiting through it.
Regarding this thing, the imperial astronomers, major engineers, and scholars can only come to one conclusion——
