The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

393. Colonial Expansion

Cliques and quarrels in the parliament are often actually derived from the interests of the planets they represent.

Like the former Ring faction, the New Ring faction members are mainly from the outer ring star region, especially the planets of non-human races. They huddled together and wanted to have more say in this galaxy.

In the Galactic Republic, human supremacy does exist. Because at the beginning of the birth of civilization in the Milky Way, human beings were indeed one of the first races to rise, and they were also the largest races throughout the entire Milky Way. Many planets in the inner ring and core circle were established by human civilization in the past.

Therefore, among many planets in the outer ring, the races are not human beings, which is one of the reasons why they are discriminated against.

But despite this, Francis has given a lot of political help to the ring faction members, especially during the election of the speaker, he almost stood up alone to turn the tide and prevented Schiff-Palpatine from using some The corruption black material directly beat Congressman Tim to the point of destruction, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Tim's political career was saved.

Therefore, those members of the ring faction who are still firm will naturally accept this sentiment. In addition, Earl Dooku's separatist movement has begun to move, and many planets in the outer ring have begun to shake, so they have begun to fall to Francis.

The current New Ring faction group is apparently led by Congressman Tim, but in fact many political strategies and plans are proposed by Francis Underwood, and he is the real leader of the New Ring faction group. leader.

But in fact, only real political veterans can see that both Palpatine and Francis actually maintain an indescribable tacit understanding. Although they attacked each other and quarreled with each other, none of them would really take the final step of completely tearing their faces apart.

In fact, they are just using this quarrel and attacking each other to establish their own political group. What they want is not to quarrel for a result, but to quarrel for their own political influence.

Expressing one's political stance and showing one's personal charm in the quarrel is also a process of screening one's comrades.

Around the same time, Claire Underwood also became active. After 4 years of development, the Outer Rim Star Region Mutual Aid Fund she founded has become a fairly large foundation, and has helped no less than 200 planets in the Outer Rim Star Region, and more than 1,000 planets have more or less cooperation experience.

Because since Speaker Palpatine came to power, the political wind direction of the galaxy has become a bit harsh, especially for the outer ring planets, so many of those outer ring planets have encountered difficulties. For example, the price of imported goods from the inner ring planet has become higher, and some cooperation and cooperation have been directly cancelled.

Under such circumstances, more and more planets turn to her for help.

Claire organized a series of rescue strategies. In addition to various material rescues, she finally launched two long-planned rescue plans.

The first item is refugee accommodation. Take in refugees from various impoverished planets due to famine and war, and transport them to a newly developed mining planet in the name of the reclamation group.

The second item is to provide job opportunities. A large number of job opportunities will be opened in Dawn Star and some newly opened interstellar mines, and if there are people with certain abilities, they will also provide family placement. Such people are treated better than refugees.

These two rescue strategies were based on the reputation that Claire's mutual aid fund had accumulated over the years, otherwise it could easily be regarded as a slave trade.

In order to dispel the doubts of these people, Claire also made the working conditions of these mines and pioneering areas transparent, and all working conditions and remuneration were made public.

Anyway, the main purpose of these two strategies is to increase the population. After a period of working life, a considerable part of those refugees and workers will naturally become members of the fourth civilization.

Like the Endor galaxy, the mining planet newly opened by the Fourth Civilization is also located in the Moder sector, but it is closer to the core of this sector. It is a galaxy called Kuna's Tooth, which is part of The Kuna constellation, which contains Kuna's eyes, Kuna's teeth, Kuna's fist, Kuna's horn , Kuna's tail, Kuna's heart, Kuna's scales and Kuna's esophagus are several galaxies, which are a newborn star cluster.

Tang Xiao decided to open a mine here, mainly because it was part of the legacy of the Damask Holding Group that he took over before. This mine was used by the holding group after Heige got the Ragnalov-class Titan battleship from Tang Xiao. A mine developed with financial and material resources.

At the beginning, Hego-Damask II mainly considered being part of the Moder star area, and the mines here could also be protected by the Dawn star.

There is a planet in the Kuna's Fang galaxy, also named Kuna's Fang, which is the planet with the best environment in this galaxy. It has a thin but harmless atmosphere, and its geological movement is relatively stable. The overall environment is similar to Mars, but it has a large amount of frozen groundwater and is rich in mineral resources.

If this planet is to be inhabited, a fully enclosed residential area must be built. In fact, there are some small residential areas built by criminals and bounty hunters on this planet. In addition, Tang Xiao also plans to carry out atmospheric modification and environmental modification projects here to further improve living conditions.

The Kuna star cluster is Tang Xiao's chosen direction for colonization and expansion. After all, the Endor galaxy is too small. There are only two habitable planets, Dawn and Cave-Bill, and they are all asteroids.

For the expansion here, Tang Xiao also brought in the Semiers to work together, and he found himself liking this race more and more. The Semiers have a large population, and they can give birth if they let go. They are strong, obedient, and industrially developed. Their congressman Thunbak-Tula has nothing else wrong with him. As long as the money is enough, he can do anything hahaha.

According to the investigation of the Kuna star cluster, Tang Xiao determined that this star cluster has great potential for development. Among them, the four galaxies of Tooth, Tail, Horn, and Fist have habitable planets, and the Eye of Kuna is a newly formed galaxy with A large number of rare minerals.

As long as the Kuna star cluster is under control, the Fourth Civilization will have a stable basic disk, instead of guarding the small place of the Endor galaxy all day long, without strategic depth, and being hit by others.

In order to support the colonization work on the planet Kuna's Fang, Tang Xiao also bought 5 Luke Hook-class cargo ships from the trade alliance, not the kind converted into warships, but pure cargo ships.

When 31BBY entered the second half of the year, the first batch of 500,000 people recruited from the outer ring star area landed on the Lukelihook-class cargo ship at the Fang of Kuna.
