254. Aftermath
The Eriadu business summit is destined to become a farce.
After the robot riot brought the summit to a screeching halt, representatives from all sides went home angry, and it didn't end there.
First, the angry Galactic Parliament Speaker Finis Valoran announced a thorough investigation of the terrorist attack. He concluded that someone must be cooperating with the Nebula Front internally.
The Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn also captured the leader of the Nebula Front when she was on the planet Eriadu at that time, which also confirmed that the Nebula Front was directly involved in this matter. However, nothing could be asked from her, because the Republic Inquisitor was surprised to find that although someone must be cooperating with her, this poor fool didn't even know who that person was!
The investigation was carried out arduously, but all the clues were cut off at the very beginning. The officer who received the goods, the technician who maintained the scanner, the transporter who transported the robot, just these three or two kittens. If you continue to investigate, you will immediately feel that a big net is covering everything, and the investigation cannot proceed at all. .
Military personnel must have been involved in this attack, because they knew exactly where the defenders were deployed and could deploy the robot in question at the most critical place. However, even so, the investigation against the military was still unable to be launched at all, and nothing could be found.
In the end, we can only place all the blame on the Nebula Front, and then arrest a few clerks, radical reporters, and related people at the bottom.
And because of this terrorist attack, the Summit's host, the Galactic Republic Parliament, was also widely questioned. Amidst the outcry, the Deputy Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Botan, sadly resigned and died at home due to illness a few months later.
Sheev Palpatine, a well-known member of the Naboo planet, declined the offer to take over as deputy speaker. In the end, the deputy speaker of the parliament was served by the young and powerful Mas Ameda.
Such a result will obviously not satisfy Finis Valoran. In fact, this terrorist attack has pushed him into a corner. In despair and madness, Chancellor Finis Valorum vented his anger on the Jedi Order.
He issued a directive ordering the Jedi Order to never participate in any affairs of the Galactic Republic. If there is anything that requires the Jedi Order to participate, it must be commissioned by the Galactic Council before the Jedi Order can participate.
As for the Jedi Order, although Master Mace Windu was angry at this decision, Master Yoda only accepted it very calmly.
Afterwards, Finis Valorum determined that there must be those corporate giants behind this terrorist attack, and the issues at the summit had not been resolved at all, so he unilaterally announced that the Galactic Republic would implement tax policies in the Outer Rim Sector. , every planet in the outer ring star sector must cooperate with the Republic in completing the economic census and the settlement of tax officials.
This decision caused an uproar in the parliament. The ring faction members, mainly composed of members from the Outer Rim Sector, left the meeting angrily on the spot and issued a joint statement. The Outer Rim Sector rejected the tax policy of the Galactic Republic unless the Republic's Judicial Fleet could prove it. They can defend the Outer Rim planets.
Among those corporate giants, the terrorist attack on this business summit also caused a stormy situation.
The fourth convoy attacked by the Nebula Front was actually a Trade Federation convoy. During this attack, almost all representatives of the Trade Federation were wiped out, including representatives of the largest shipbuilder and industrial giant in the galaxy, Quat Power Dockyard.
After several high-level leaders died at once, Kuat Dynamic Shipyard expressed anger towards the Trade Federation, and they announced their withdrawal from the Trade Federation. A month later, it announced that it would withdraw from the technology alliance, go it alone, and draw a clear line with those business alliances.
However, the Trade Alliance is also suffering, and it is clearly them who are suffering this time.
However, a bigger change has occurred, and the Trade Alliance cannot take into account the negative impact caused by the withdrawal of Kuat Dynamic Shipyard from the alliance and the decline in stock prices.
Because the current Governor of the Trade Federation was killed in this terrorist attack, not only the Governor, but also the entire management team around the Governor, the Trade Federation, one of the largest economic entities in the galaxy, has actually entered a power vacuum.
At this time, Newt Gunray, who had been preparing for success, suddenly emerged, quickly defeated all competitors with thunderous means, and officially took up the post of Governor of the Trade Federation.
During this process, a group of high-ranking officials from the Trade Alliance, including Rune Harkou, almost unanimously sided with Newt Gunray, helping him quickly stabilize the situation and control the entire Trade Alliance. And they also entered the core of power of the Trade Federation as they wished.
Behind this change of power, Darth Sidious's support for Newt Gunray and Francis Underwood's support for Rune Harkor allowed them to successfully transform their own power. The tentacles have extended into this huge economic entity.
The withdrawal of Kuat Power Shipyard and the rise of Newt Gunray marked that the Trade Alliance was completely controlled by the Neimoidians, and their economic policies began to tilt.
Ford Tonis, co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, was also frightened by the terrorist attack and announced that he would no longer participate in next year's general election. As a result, among the remaining candidates, Thornhill's advantage is almost unshakable, and he has basically been determined to be the next co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association.
After more than a month of chaos, the corporate giants who finally sorted themselves out internally also fought back against a series of moves by the Galactic Republic.
The Trade Federation, the Interstellar Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance, the Commercial Guilds, and the Technology Alliance issued a joint statement stating that they would never endorse the Galactic Republic's unilateral tax collection in the Outer Rim Sector, and claimed that this was a trampling on the democracy of the Galaxy.
And in response to the increasingly severe security situation, these corporate giants also unilaterally declared that the restrictions on the specifications of warships owned by companies in the Rusan reform were invalid. In other words, they will start building and purchasing large warships without limit.
The Fourth Group, firmly siding with the Trade Federation, also joined this joint statement and publicly condemned the Galactic Republic. However, the advertisement they made using the previous video of the Battle of Malastar Fjord was removed - after all, this was the instruction of Sheev Palpatine.
The Galactic Republic, which had lost the support of its judicial fleet, was unable to respond to the provocations of the corporate giants. On the contrary, Kuat Dynamics Shipyard silently announced the spacecraft project they are currently testing as a tit-for-tat answer——
