The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

715. Haruncar Civil War

However, the planet Harunkar has never been peaceful, and the extreme environment of this planet has also created some magical species.

The most valuable among them is the Thyssel tree. This kind of tree has a very developed root system, so after absorbing the poisonous substances deep in the depths of the planet Haruncar, it exhibits unique characteristics.

If the bark of this tree is eaten raw, it will cause the brains of intelligent creatures to have a strong hallucinogenic and exciting response, which is much stronger than ordinary spices. If you eat more, it will even cause irreversible permanent changes in the brain Injury, let this person indulge in fantasy forever.

But what's even more wonderful is that if it is systematically baked and made, those harmful reactions of the bark of the Diesel tree will be removed, and while retaining the powerful hallucinogenic and exciting effects, the negative effects will almost disappear, even worse than that of the Diesel tree. The Master drank a glass of light wine.

Moreover, due to the special growth environment, there is basically no possibility of artificial cultivation of this tree.

As a result, Diesel bark has become a very expensive thing, and many wealthy people in the inner and inner circles like this spice without side effects. And because when chewing Diesel bark, people's teeth will be stained red and will last for a day or two before being washed away, so when the two nobles showed their red teeth, they would often smile knowingly.

(Yes, this thing is to pinch his betel nut.)

With such a precious thing, it naturally attracted more coveted eyes.

Since the discovery of the Diesel tree, some bounty hunters and smugglers began to go to the planet Harunkar to collect the bark of the Diesel tree. Animals that mine diesel bark.

As a result, they had a fierce conflict with the aboriginal Korunai people.

The Corunai people basically live a very simple nomadic life, and occasionally communicating with other planets is mostly just buying some conveniences and small spaceships that can fly between different peaks. The main animal they raise is a kind of animal called Grassers. This kind of animal is large and docile, with six hooves and three eyes. The meat is delicious and the milk it produces is also of high nutritional value.

However, the main food of grass cattle is diesel bark.

All Diesel trees that have been eaten by grass cattle, because of the secretions in their saliva, the hallucinogenic effect of Diesel bark will decrease for a period of time. For those smugglers, it means the purity of the spices Decline. In addition, grass cows eat Diesel bark in a wide range. They will give up after eating a few mouthfuls of each tree, and then go to the next tree. In this way, Diesel trees get a good protection, but large areas are also polluted by grass cattle, and the yield and purity have decreased a lot.

In order to collect more and better Diesel bark, the smugglers began to hunt and kill grass cattle, which resulted in a fierce conflict with the Corunai people.

Those smugglers have also experienced several generations on the planet Harunkar, and they are more or less indigenous residents. They also took root on this planet, and faced the opposition of the Korunai people, they naturally did not take a step forward. let.

The Corunai people gave these smugglers an insulting name - Balawai (Balawai). Although this is the dialect of the Corunai people, others cannot understand the insulting meaning, but these smugglers Still do not recognize this name, dare to mention this title in front of them, it is no different from scolding mother in person.

The time was 30 years ago in 52BBY. It is unknown who fired the first shot, but since that day, a fierce and cruel war broke out between the Corunai people and the smugglers.

In order to prevent the Galactic Republic from interfering, the smugglers colluded with the Pikes, who had been engaged in spice smuggling for a long time, and bribed a large number of Republic officials. Finally, the Congress of the Republic at that time passed a formal bill, which stated: Since both parties are not strictly natives, and have actually settled on the planet, this war is defined as a civil war, and the Galactic Republic will not interfere.

For this bill, Mace Windu, who had just joined the Jedi Order and was undergoing apprenticeship graduation trials, could do nothing. After all, when he was 6 months old, he was taken away by the Jedi Order because of the death of his parents, and he couldn't even speak the language of the Corunai people.

However, Mace Windu still pays great attention to the matter of the planet Harunkar. He even visited the planet Harunkar once, learned the language of the Corunai people, and worked hard to mediate between the two sides, but the effect was very good. micro. Even the Windu tribe where he was originally born didn't listen to his mediation suggestion at all, and insisted on retaliation for blood with blood.

The civil war finally broke out. After all, the smugglers had more connections with the outside world, and accumulated a lot of wealth through the smuggling of Diesel bark. They had much better equipment. Another round of bombing killed a large number of civilians.

But the Corunai are not fuel-efficient lamps. As the descendants of the Jedi Knights who fell here thousands of years ago, almost all of them are force-sensitive. Even if they are not as powerful as the Jedi Knights, they are still physically strong. The five senses are keen, and even have a strong premonition of crisis.

The Corunai ran into the jungle and fought a guerrilla war with the smugglers. In the jungle environment, a unique fungus that can devour and corrode metals on the planet Harunkar caused the advanced weapons of the Balawai people to wear out so much that they were basically useless. They suffered a lot for this. As long as they entered the jungle, basically No one came out alive.

As the war became more and more cruel, both sides in the war were red-hot, directly attacking the settlements of the other side, and massacring women, children and children abound. This caused the population of the planet Haruncar to drop sharply. As of the latest rough statistics, the population on the planet has been reduced to about 750,000, but the killing is still going on, with no sign of stopping.

And when the Confederation of Independent Galaxies was established and the Galactic Civil War broke out, the war on the planet Harunkar also attracted the attention of Earl Dooku.

The Balawais secretly contacted the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, quietly joined the Confederation, and received a lot of assistance. On the other hand, the Corunai people did not seek help from the Republic because they did not have a good opinion of the Republic. They did not seek help from the Republic until the battles continued to fail and the settlements continued to fall.

On such a hellish planet, an unarmed Consul-class cruiser broke away from the hyperspace channel and entered the planet's atmosphere.

The spaceship landed on a spaceport where the Corunai people lived, and the hatch opened. Jedi Master Depa Birabha and her two lovers, Luna Dream and Luna Magic, led a team of clones. The soldiers came down.

It seems that I underestimated the difficulty of fishing codewords on the first day of work, and I am afraid that I will not be able to explode today. The explosive update is expected on Saturday or a certain day this week.
