The core circle of the Milky Way, the world of wealth, the planet Cato-Neimoidia (Purse world, oidia).
This is one of the earliest colonized planets in the Galactic Republic. It joined the Galactic Republic 25,000 years ago and can be said to be the earliest member.
This is also the first wealth world planet established by the Neimoidians.
The so-called wealth world is a planet with a beautiful environment and rich resources. In order to ensure that the planet is not polluted by industrialization and enjoys the purest natural beauty, there are almost no polluting factories and industries on such a planet. Even energy is mainly
Relying on input from other planets, it only has some wind power and solar energy discoveries as backup.
By the way, when the energy planet Sarabin was attacked by Severance Tann, Cato Neimoidia was one of the planets in the inner circle blackout. At that time, the Trade Federation was still pretending
The Earth launched a solemn protest against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Naturally, only the top rich can settle on such a planet.
Among the many worlds of wealth, Cato-Neimoidia is the oldest, most luxurious, and noblest.
Millionaire? Get lost!
Multi-millionaire? Go aside!
Billionaire? Goodbye!
People who can live in the world of wealth must not only be rich, but also powerful and have a very high social status. They must go through numerous checks before they have the opportunity to enter.
Here, you can have a professional team to help you manage your finances, beautiful maids to take care of your daily life, a powerful army to protect your wealth, and you can build a house as big as you want. It can be said that everything on the entire planet is
Serving this small group of people.
In order to facilitate the wealthy people here to better manage their industries and planets, there are also the most advanced management systems and hyperspace communication equipment here. Through communication signals propagated through hyperspace, they can communicate with any corner of the galaxy.
Therefore, there are only 8.5 million residents on this planet with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers. Excluding service personnel and the military, only 100,000 people actually enjoy everything here.
100,000 people is the upper limit of residents set by the wealth world of Cato Neimoidia.
Rich people are also divided into three levels, and on this planet, the top rich person is naturally the Governor of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunray.
Few people know how rich the Trade Federation is. But everyone knows that the Trade Federation started in the transportation industry, and later almost monopolized the shipping work in most of the galaxy. Especially for those planets with less advanced technology, leasing
The Trade Federation fleet to trade with other planets in the galaxy is the only option.
On a certain blue planet that is not in this universe, in the 17th century, a small country called the Netherlands almost dominated the ocean with its developed trade and was known as the Sea Coachman. This shows how huge profits this industry brought.
And now, involving transportation and trade throughout the galaxy, the trade alliance is billions of times larger and is so powerful and prosperous that it is difficult to describe in words. The amount of wealth involved may be as small as typing zero on the keyboard.
It takes a while to knock.
Naturally, as the governor who controls the entire Trade Alliance, Newt Gunray's wealth is also an astronomical figure.
However, human desires are endless. Newt Gunray has wealth that can buy many planets, but what he wants is still more, more.
So, he invested in this huge gamble...
This huge gamble blocked the future of the entire Galactic Republic.
galaxy, civil war.
He became one of the core members of the Confederation of Independent Systems, providing a huge amount of funds and productivity for the separatist force established by Count Dooku, which involved thousands of planets!
The reason why he invested so much was because he was seeking something bigger!
That's the entire galaxy!
Naturally, after the war broke out, the fleet of the Galactic Republic immediately surrounded this place, and it was the 2nd Army, one of the most powerful legions among the 20 legions of the Galactic Republic, the Green Mantle.
The Second Army of the Galactic Republic has its capital on the planet Nubia, where it is also the headquarters of the famous shipbuilding company Nubian Interstellar Engineering Company.
The governor of the 2nd Army is a Corellian, Fliry Vorru, and the supreme military commander is personally served by Master Mace Windu. It also subordinates the clone army Systems Army Alpha.
, the Galaxy Army is the highest establishment of the clone army, with a full strength of 300,000 people. For the precious clone soldiers, this is a very terrifying number.
The main strategic task of the 2nd Army is to defend the Corellia Galaxy. This galaxy can be said to be the galaxy with the highest strategic status in the Galactic Republic besides the capital Coruscant. There are 5 habitable planets in a galaxy, regardless of politics
In terms of economy, culture, military, industry, etc., they are all the most important in the galaxy.
The planet Cato-Neimoidia is within the jurisdiction of the Second Army of the Republic.
According to the instructions of the Republic's Supreme Strategic Command, the Second Army must capture the Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray alive without destroying the planet.
Naturally, it is absolutely impossible for the Trade Alliance to let anyone touch their wealth world. After all, the money stored in these wealth worlds has reached a level that makes people dizzy just by looking at the numbers!
A huge fleet immediately protected these wealth worlds, and did not hesitate to directly confront the fleet of the Second Army.
However, as the war progressed, the Republic's fleet suffered heavy losses again and again. Therefore, several legions at the rear, including the 2nd Army, had to allocate some new warships to other legions.
In order to maintain pressure on the wealthy worlds of the Trade Federation, the 4th Army of the Republic also sent a fleet to participate in the siege of the planet Cato-Neimoidia.
No one would have thought that there would be separatists trying to conquer Cato Neimoidia.
No one would have thought that the Second Army of the Republic deep in the rear would actually be attacked.
The hyperspace channels in the galaxy are complicated, but the hyperspace channels leading to the core area are all under strict surveillance. Only some small spacecraft can pass through, and these small spaceships are impossible to shake any core area.
Defense of the planet.
Even if Severance Tann raided the Sarabin planet at that time, there were some objective reasons. Because the defense of the energy planet was not strong, and the war had just started, and the Galactic Republic had not even found its direction yet.
But now, with the establishment of the 20th Army of the Republic, strict division of war zones, clear division of labor, and constant deployment by the Supreme Strategic Headquarters, it is completely impossible for the core circle to be raided.
But...this just happened.
the second time!!
On the bridge of the 8,000-meter-long Commander-class dreadnought, the flagship of the 7th Squadron belonging to the Second Army of the Republic and responsible for encircling the planet Cato-Neimoidia, a piercing siren sounded.
"Large-scale hyperspace jump signal detected! Unknown identification code! Confirmed to be an enemy attack!!"
