The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

749: Fortune World

The core circle of the galaxy, the world of fortune, the planet of Cato Neimoidia (Purse world, Cato Neimoidia).

This is one of the earliest colonized planets in the Galactic Republic. It has 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 will not be polluted by industrialization and enjoy the purest natural beauty, there are almost no polluting factories and industries on such a planet. Even if it is energy, it mainly depends on the input from other planets, and it only has some wind power and solar energy discoveries as spares.

By the way, when the energy planet Sarabine was attacked by Severance Tann before, Cato Neimoidia was one of the planets in the blackout of the inner circle. At that time, the Trade Federation also pretended to lodge a serious protest against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Naturally, only the top richest people can settle in such a planet.

Among the many worlds of wealth, Cato Neimoidia is the oldest, the most luxurious, and the noblest.

millionaire? roll!

Multimillionaire? go aside!

Billionaire? goodbye!

Those who can live in the world of wealth must not only have money, but also have power, have a very high social status, and have the opportunity to enter after going through many scrutiny.

Here, you can have a professional team to help you manage your finances, a beautiful maid to take care of your daily life, a powerful army to protect your wealth, and you can build as big a house as you want. It can be said that everything on the entire planet serves this small group of people.

In order to facilitate the rich people here to better manage their own industries and planets, there is also the most advanced management system and hyperspace communication equipment here. Through the communication signals transmitted through hyperspace, they can communicate with any corner of the galaxy.

Therefore, on this planet with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers, there are only 8.5 million residents. If the service personnel and the army are deducted, there are only 100,000 people who really enjoy everything here.

100,000 people, that is, the upper limit of residents set by the wealth world of Cato Neimoidia.

The rich are also divided into grades, and on this planet, the top rich man is naturally the Governor of the Trade Union, Newt Gunley.

Few people know how rich the Trade Federation is. But everyone knows that the Trade Federation started from the transportation industry, and then almost monopolized the shipping work of most of the galaxy, especially for those planets with less advanced technology, the fleet of the Trade Federation is rented to trade with other planets in the galaxy is the only option.

On a blue planet that is not in this universe, in the 17th century, a small country called the Netherlands almost dominated the ocean by virtue of its developed trade.

As for the current transportation and trade involving the entire galaxy, I don’t know how powerful and prosperous the trade alliance, which is billions of times larger, is simply difficult to describe in words. The amount of wealth involved may be zero on the keyboard. I have to knock for a while.

Naturally, as the governor, Newt Gunley, who controls the entire trade union, his wealth is also astronomical.

However, people's desires are endless. Newt Gunray has the wealth to buy many planets, but what he wants is still more, more.

So, he threw himself into this gamble...

This is a gamble that blocks the future of the entire Galactic Republic.

Milky Way, Civil War.

He became one of the core members of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and provided a huge amount of funds and productivity for the separatist forces established by Earl Dooku, and the things involved involved thousands of planets!

The reason why he has invested so much is because what he seeks is bigger!

That's the whole galaxy!

Naturally, after the war broke out, the fleet of the Galactic Republic immediately surrounded this place, and it was the 2nd Army of one of the most powerful legions among the 20 legions of the Galactic Republic, the Green Mantle (Green Mantle).

The 2nd Army of the Galactic Republic, with its capital on the planet Nubia, is also the headquarters of the well-known shipbuilding company Nubia Interstellar Engineering Company.

The Governor of the II Corps was a Corellian, Fliry Vorru, and the supreme military commander was Master Mace Windu himself. And the subordinate clone army Alpha Galaxy Army (Systems Army Alpha), the Galaxy Army is the highest establishment of the clone army, with a full staff of 300,000 people, which is a very scary number for precious clone soldiers.

The main strategic mission of the 2nd Army is to defend the Corellian galaxy, which can be said to be the galaxy with the highest strategic position in the Galactic Republic except the capital Coruscant. Having 5 habitable planets in a galaxy is second to none in terms of politics, economy, culture, military, industry, etc.

And the planet Cato-Neimoidia is within the jurisdiction of the Second Army of the Republic.

According to the order of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, the Second Army must capture the Governor of the Trade Union Newt Gunley 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 the point where people can get dizzy just by looking at the numbers!

The 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 damage again and again. Therefore, several legions in the rear, including the 2nd Army, had to deploy some new warships to other legions.

In order to continue to maintain the pressure on the wealth worlds of the Trade Union, the 4th Army of the Republic also sent a fleet to participate in the siege of the planet Cato-Neimoidia.

It never occurred to anyone that separatists would want to attack Kato Neimoidia.

No one would have thought that the Second Army of the Republic in the deep rear would be attacked.

The hyperspace passages in the Milky Way are intricate, but all the hyperspace passages leading to the core area are under strict monitoring. Only some small spaceships can pass through, and it is impossible for these small spaceships to shake any core area. Defense of the planet.

Even Severance Tann had some objective reasons for raiding the planet Sarabine at that time. Because the energy planet's defense was not strong, and the war had just started, the Galactic Republic hadn't even found its way yet.

But now, with the establishment of the 20 major legions of the Republic, strict division of theaters, clear division of labor, and the constant deployment of the Supreme Strategic Command, 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 Seventh Squadron, which belongs to the Second Army of the Republic and is responsible for encircling the planet Cato-Neimoidia, a piercing siren sounded.

"A large-scale hyperspace jump signal was detected! The identification code is unknown! Confirmed as an enemy attack!!"
