Chapter 223: 33BBY
Another year has passed in the Milky Way in chaos. During this year, turmoil broke out in many places in the Milky Way, making the already precarious Republic even more shaky.
Disputes between the planet Malastare and the Enterprise Alliance, followed by the Battle of the Malastare;
The conflict between Jabba the Hutt and Gardulla broke out on the planet Tatooine, and a direct confrontation broke out between the two;
A famine broke out on the planet Rodia, and a brain plague broke out on the planet Jabiim;
The king of Naboo, Ars Veruna, was involved in a series of scandals and finally announced his abdication;
The Black Sun was suddenly attacked by the Interstellar Banking Association, the Fourth Group, and the Enterprise Alliance, and conflicts broke out almost simultaneously on hundreds of planets;
A mysterious planet Sojourn was suddenly blown up for unknown reasons;
The conflict between the conservatives and the technological movement intensified on the planet Cerea and finally, a civil war broke out...
In addition, there are many other things happened, such as the Hark suddenly invaded the homeland of the Kali, and the two sides immediately entered a state of all-out war; the Injoli tried to seek greater political and military status, etc...
Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, is no longer peaceful, and the position of the speaker, Finis Valorum, is in jeopardy. After a series of stupid operations, he completely lost the support of the judicial fleet and became a toothless tiger. And Deputy Chancellor Botan, who has supported him for more than ten years, is being impeached.
In contrast, the outer ring planets are the main ones, and the ring faction members who seek to have more rights and interests in the outer ring planets are becoming more and more powerful. They have made a loud voice in the Galactic Senate. The impeachment of Deputy Chancellor Botan is theirs provoked first.
At the same time, the Naboo planet member Sheev Palpatine, who had great prestige in the parliament, was steadily improving his influence.
With the passing of the old year (34BBY) and ushering in the new year, many suffering people in the galaxy are making wishes and praying that in the new year, the chaos will be corrected, hoping that their lives will become better and the galaxy will return to peace.
With the old year finally over, the Galactic Republic, under their toy, is heading towards the end step by step.
...
The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, 33BBY.
In the Galactic Senate building, in the office of Supreme Councillor Finis Valorum, Deputy Councillor Botan, and Naboo Planet Senator Sheev Palpatine are sitting together to discuss in a low voice.
"I hope this business summit can allow us to reach a certain consensus with the Trade Federation and the Enterprise Alliance, Senator Palpatine, what do you think?" Finis Valorum asked.
There is always that warm smile on Palpatine's face, "It's great to be able to start the dialogue. I conveyed the meaning to the Governor of the Trade Federation through some relationships, and I think they are willing to participate. However, if you want to We need to expand the scope of the meeting if we want to move forward with the Outer Rim taxation bill."
"Tell me your opinion."
"The Enterprise Alliance is sure to participate. In addition, we can invite giants such as the Interstellar Banking Association and the Commercial Guild, as well as some smaller organizations. I think the Galactic Republic still has enough deterrents for these powerful organizations," Palpatine said.
Finis Valorum said: "Very well, just do as you want. The planet and venue for the summit must be arranged as soon as possible. In the recent period, I have worked hard for you."
"Where, this is what I should do." Palpatine said with a smile, "In addition, this matter still needs to rely on the energy of Deputy Councillor Botan. The elders are here to hold the line."
Valorum nodded and said to Botan: "I hope so too, Botan. We have been working together for more than ten years, and you have been under too much pressure recently. You put down the things in hand first, and Palpatine, Mr. Ting will go to these planets together, just to relax. We have already inquired about all aspects of this summit, and it will definitely be a successful summit. With this successful experience, I believe you should run smoothly through the end of his term and retire."
Deputy Councillor Botan smiled wryly and said, "I will do my best."
