Chapter 510: The Outbreak of War (2)
The two little mice that snuck into the factory did not affect Tang Xiao's actions. Naturally, the Geonosian Guards had to deal with such trivial matters.
Count Dooku read out a "Declaration of the Confederacy of Independent Systems" in public, and then the Core Members of Dawn, Geonosis, Trade Federation, Commerce Guild, Corporate Alliance, Techno Union, and Interstellar Banking Clan formally signed the agreement.
According to this declaration, the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) was formally established and declared independence from the Galactic Republic.
The agreement signed by these Core Members is different from the public agreement, it is a confidentiality agreement. This agreement determined the conditions for these Core Members to join the war and also determined the generous benefits they received after the war ended, the supreme privilege of membership.
There are a total of Twelve Members who signed the secret agreement, and each member has an Assistant, a Representative and an Advisor. Assistants and Advisors accompany the Leader, and Representatives will enter the Senate of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and have higher voting weight.
These Core Members include:
Trade Federation: Viceroy Nute Gunray, Advisor Rune Haako, and Assistant Rute Gunnay, Capital Planet Neimoidia.
Dawn: Governor Tang Xiao, and Representative Francis Underwood, Capital Planet Dawn.
Commerce Guild: Presidente Shu Mai, and Assistant Cat Miin, Capital Planet Castel.
Geonosis: Archduke Poggle, and Chief Lieutenant Sun Fac, Capital Planet Geonosis.
Techno Union: Foreman Wat Tambor, Capital Planet Skako.
Interstellar Banking Clan: Co-Chairman San Hill, and Vice-Chairman (Unknown), Capital Planet Muunilinst.
Corporate Alliance: Magistrate Passel Argente, and Representative Denaria Kee, Capital Planet Kooriva.
Hyper-Communications Cartel [Note 1]: Leader Po Nudo, and Assistant Nanke Thun, Capital Planet Ando.
Quarren Isolation League [Note 2]: Chief Nossor Ri, Representative Tikkes, and Assistant Riff Tamson, Capital Planet Dac (Mon Calamari).
At the same time, the Confederacy of Independent Systems will launch an all-out attack on the Galactic Republic.

At this moment, Anakin Skywalker had already used the terrain to charge all the way through the huge factory, and all the Blaster Beams and Lasers fired around him were bounced back with his Lightsaber. In the end, he leapt more than ten meters high, jumped directly onto a higher platform, stood in front of a Communication Droid, cut it in half with a Lightsaber, and then lifted the Droid's head towards Rock Johnson's hiding place.
Over there, Obi-Wan Kenobi is dealing with a steady stream of Geonosian Guards. These Geonosians use two pairs of wings to fly flexibly in the air and constantly use their unique Technology-Sonic Blaster to fire.
This Weapon is a mixture of Plasma, Blaster Energy Gas and Sound Waves. In addition to rebounding the Blaster Energy Beams, Obi-Wan must also use The Force to isolate the Sound Waves, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.
"Anakin! How are you?" Obi-Wan yelled.
"Master! You cover me!" Anakin said loudly while raising his hand and grabbed several Geonosian Guards with The Force, then slammed into other Guards, taking this opportunity to run all the way to the Rock Johnson over there.
Johnson was also firing with a snatched Sonic Blaster, but the Geonosians were so nimble that they were hard to hit, even with a Robotic Aiming System.
Anakin ran over, threw the Droid's head to him and said, "Quick!! There are more and more Guards!"
Rock Johnson immediately pulled out a data cable from himself connected it to the robot's head, and began to crack it. Anakin saw a group of B-1 Battle Droids that had just come off the production line appearing in front of him and quickly waved his lights. The Plasma Sword went up to meet him.
After a while, Rock Johnson said: "There is a very concentrated Communication Signal at a distance of 560 meters from us."
"Go! Master!!" Anakin said loudly, and at the same time raised his hand and pushed, a Wave of Force rushed directly, pushing several Destroyer Droids that were still rolling off the cliff.

This organization also represents the Quarrens on the Planet who are closer to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Main Shipbuilding Factory of the Confederacy The Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps was founded by them. The Mon Calamari people tend to be Republics, so the two races are opposed on Planet Mon Calamari, and the relevant plot will be mentioned later. ]
