The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1903. The Dilemma of Planet Losar (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 is originally on the edge. Normally, if you want to go from the core circle of the Milky Way to the Losar planet, you must at least be in It took a month to run in the hyperspace channel and dozens of jumps.

However, although the place is very remote, the Losar planet is a place with a very suitable climate. There are almost no extreme terrains and climates here, 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 about less than a hundred cities and settlements established on the planet. The residents here mainly engage in farming and live a peaceful life.

Even after the Clone Wars broke out, although the planet Lothal was loyal to the Galactic Republic, it 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 has returned to neutrality. Due to its geographical location, the planet Losar has actually been cut off from the Galactic Republic since the outbreak of the war until now. This has also caused the planet's current predicament.

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. Therefore, 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 to allow the Jiwen people under the Dawn Principality to immigrate to the planet Losar!

In fact, when the government of Planet Losar received this order, they were completely confused.

Apart from anything 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, Grand Duke of Dawn, a former separatist, give us orders?

Yes, the planet Losar had its own agenda after the fall of the Galactic Republic.

Because this planet has always maintained a high degree of independence, both economically and culturally, it is out of touch with the mainstream of the galaxy. Therefore, when major changes occurred in the Galactic Republic, what the government of the Losar planet was thinking about was—— autonomy.

They want to transform themselves into an autonomous dominion, and then it doesn't matter to me how you fight and kill in the galaxy, I 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 had 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 Given people is needless to say. 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 was 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 been guarding 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, if the Given people with strong industrial capabilities and computing power want to immigrate and leave, the Galactic Empire will naturally support 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 reorganize its industry and increase production capacity. It dropped by more than half and took a long time to reply.

After all, the entire planet was shot out like a pinball, so it would be surprising if the results were good!

Moreover, the act of handing over the Losar planet 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 Dawn Principality 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 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, so 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 chapter)
