580. Gambler’s mentality
Attacking the planet Christophsis is definitely not a simple matter.
The planet Christophsis has a diameter of 9,465 kilometers and is shaped into a blue-green crystal.
This is one of the most economically developed planets in the Outer Rim Star Region. It is located near the Corellia trade route, close to Hutt space, and adjacent to the Tatooine planet, a transportation thoroughfare on the edge of Hutt space. At the same time, it is also very close to the planet Rodia.
As a planet with almost inexhaustible crystal resources, the planet Christophsis has received great attention from the beginning.
Even because this planet has been hit by asteroids for a long time, 600 years ago, nobles from Tepasi, a commercial center in the core circle of the Milky Way, paid a high price and artificially created it directly next to the planet Christophsis. A moon, using the moon's gravity and the defense system installed on it to prevent asteroid impacts.
Huge resource reserves have brought astronomical financial returns, and the huge gap in job opportunities has led to an endless influx of immigrants. Various mining companies and trading companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. And although this planet is still some distance away from the Corellia trade route, and the transportation is not developed, after all, it is not far away from the planet Tatooine, so the smuggling industry on this planet is also very developed.
Many smugglers travel between the planet Christophsis and the planet Tatooine, selling illegally mined crystals into the black market through various channels, and then transporting them to various dark corners of the galaxy.
Many gangs and illegal organizations recruit Force-sensitive people who have a little bit of Force talent but are disdainful to the Jedi Order, and then purchase some low-purity Kyber crystals on the black market to make inferior lightsabers and the like. Weapons to show off, the source of many of these Kyber crystals is the planet Christophsis.
By the way, these people's lightsabers are really used to show off. If they really get into a fight over a disagreement, they will throw away the lightsaber very decisively, yell, 'Sir, times have changed...' and then pull it out. Just pull out the blaster and shoot.
On the planet Christophsis, human immigrants account for the majority, about 68%. Due to the unique climate and light on the planet, these humans have very dark skin, and they like to inlaid crystals on their foreheads or bodies as a decoration. decorate.
In addition, about 13% of the population are Rodians, most of whom are bounty hunters and are employed by various companies on the planet. There are also 11% of Croydonians. Most of this strong, beast-like race are mercenaries.
Under such a basic structure, the total population of the planet Christophsis is——
35 billion!
It can be said that the total population of just such a planet is 30 times the population directly controlled by the entire fourth civilization!
Although the planet Christophersis does not have a very developed industrial system, their economy is developed enough and rich enough to hire enough mercenaries and bounty hunters to fight for them, and this terrible population base alone determines The power of this planet.
A planet full of crystals cannot be a toothless tiger.

Admiral Trench went directly to the planet Mulkana, which is one of the core planets of the Enterprise Alliance. He found the chairman of the Enterprise Alliance, Parcell Argent, a Kuriva, and said to him: "We should , attack the planet Christophsis, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"The planet Christophsis has high value, but it is definitely not easy to surrender. To conquer this planet, we need to pay more." Parcel Argent said, "Unless you have any good plan .”
"There is no plan to win. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... But this is the only chance." Admiral Trench stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "The Republic has just suffered a defeat. Their strength... is not enough. , Tsk tsk tsk tsk... If we wait for them to recover, we will have to pay more... price. tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Parcel Argent nodded and fell into deep thought.
Admiral Trench added: "The Rodians only recognize money and not people. But the Croydon people can win over...tsk tsk tsk tsk. We can still find more help... I remember, The Enterprise Alliance has a very good relationship with the Retail Clan, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"The Croydonians...you mean the Retail Federation. Indeed, they have a very good relationship with the Croydonians. However, we are short of battleships now. The fleet originally prepared to attack the planet Christophsis is in Kyrgyzstan The planet Onosis has suffered heavy losses. Of course, I am not blaming you, but now we do not have too many warships to carry out this large-scale operation before a new batch of warships leave the factory." Parcel-A Gent said.
Admiral Trench put a memory on the table and pushed it over, and said slowly: "In business, there is no guarantee of profit without loss...tsk tsk tsk tsk. But if you don't make a bet, you will never make money. tsk tsk tsk tsk... I listen. Said, there are a group of warships among the Semiers, tut tut tut tut..."
After saying that, he turned and left here.
Parcell Argent opened the memory and saw a long list of data inside. It was the capital flow of the planet Christophsis in the past. This series of data was quite large. Although he didn't know the accuracy, it could be seen to some extent. , how rich this crystal planet is.
Looking at the long series of zeros in the data, Parcell Argent's eyes became intense.
He pressed the communication button and said urgently: "Tinari Jin, tell me, how many fleets do we have now?"
A female Kuriva with red skin, blue robes, and a bird's tongue on her head appeared in the holographic projection. "I think we don't have any more fleets. We are facing the planet Bothawui." ) and the offensive on the planet Lanuos fell into fierce battles, especially the Bothans, who resisted very resolutely."
"If we want to attack the planet Christophsis, how sure are we?" Parcell Argent then asked.
"This is simply impossible!" Tinari King concluded straightforwardly.
Parcel Argent was still unwilling to give in. He thought for a while and said: "Go and contact the Semiers. They should still have a fleet in their hands! Tell them that I have a big business to do! And, give it to me Take over the retail industry alliance, I will talk to them personally!"
