Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 582: Gambler Mentality

Attacking Christophsis is definitely not a simple matter.

Christophsis, with a diameter of 9,465 kilometers, is in the shape of a Blue-Green Crystal as a whole.

This is one of the most economically developed Planets in the Outer Rim. It is located near the Corellian Trade Spine, close to the Hutt Space, and adjacent to Tatooine on the edge of Hutt Space. At the same time, it is also very close to Rodia.

As a Planet with almost inexhaustible Crystal resources, Christophsis has received great attention from the very beginning.

Even because this Planet has been impacted by asteroids for a long time, 600 years ago, the Nobles from Tepasi, the Commercial Center in the Core Worlds of the Galaxy, paid a high price and artificially manufactured a Moon directly next to Christophsis. Through the gravity of the Moon, a Defense System was installed on it to prevent the impact of asteroids.

Huge resource reserves have brought astronomical capital gains, huge job opportunities have led to an endless influx of immigrants and various Mining Companies and Trading Companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Although this Planet is still some distance away from the Corellian Trade Spine, the traffic is not developed, but after all, Tatooine is not far away, so the Smuggling Industry on this Planet is also very developed.

Many Smugglers travel between Christophsis and Tatooine, selling illegally mined Crystals on the Black Market through various channels, and then transporting them to all dark corners of the Galaxy.

Many Gangsters and Illegal Organizations will recruit some Force-Sensitive People who have a little talent in The Force, even though the Jedi Knights don't like it, and then buy some low-purity Kyber Crystals in the Black Market to make low-quality Lightsabers and the like. Many of these Kyber Crystals come from Christophsis.

By the way, these people's Lightsabers are really for show. If there is a disagreement, they will throw away the Lightsaber very decisively, shout "My Lord, the times have changed..." and then pull out a Blaster and shoot straight away.

On Christophsis, Human immigrants accounted for the majority, about 68%, because of the unique climate and light on the Planet, these Humans have very dark skin, and they like to inlay Crystals on their foreheads or on their bodies to decorate.

In addition, about 13% of the population is Rodian, and most of them are Bounty Hunters, employed by various companies on the Planet. In addition, 11% of the population is Kerkoiden. Most of these strong, beast-like beings are Mercenaries.

Under such a basic structure, the total population of Christophsis is——

35 Billion!

It can be said that the total population of such a Planet alone is 20 times the population directly controlled by the entire Fourth Civilization!

Although Christophsis 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 can never be a toothless tiger.

...

Admiral Trench went directly to Murkhana, which is one of the Core Planets of the Corporate Alliance. He found the Magistrate of the Enterprise Alliance, Passel Argente, and said to him: "We should, attack, Christophsis, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Christophsis has a high value, but it is definitely not easy to surrender. To conquer this Planet, we need to pay more." Passel Argente said, "Unless, you have some good plans ."

"A plan to win...no. Tut tut tut...but this is the only chance." Admiral Trench stroked the chelicera at the corner of his mouth, "The Republic has just suffered a failure. Their strength...is insufficient, tsk tsk tsk...if we wait for them to recover, we will need to spend more... price. tsk tsk tsk."

Passel Argente nodded, lost in thought.

Admiral Trench said again: "The Rodians only recognize the money but not the people, but the Kerkoidens, we can win it... tsk tsk tsk. We can still find more help... I remember the Corporate Alliance and the Retail Clan have a great relationship, tsk tsk tsk..."

"The Kerkoidens... you mean the Retail Clan. Indeed, they have a good relationship with the Kerkoidens. However, we are short of Warships now. The Fleet that was originally intended to attack Christophsis is in Kerkoidia. Geonosis suffered heavy losses, of course, I am not blaming you, but before the new batch of Warships leaves the Factory, we don't have too many Warships in our hands to carry out large-scale operations." Passel Argente said.

Admiral Trench pushed a storage device over the table and said slowly: "Business, there is no steady profit... Tsk tsk tsk, but if you don't bet, you will never make money. Tsk tsk tsk... I hear say, there are still a group of Warships at Sy Myrth, tsk tsk tsk..."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Passel Argente opened the memory and saw a long list of data inside, which was the capital flow of Christophsis in one year. This series of data is quite huge. Although the accuracy is unknown, it can be seen to some extent, how rich this Crystal Planet is.

Seeing the long series of zeros on the data, Passel Argente's eyes became greedy.

He pressed the communication button and said eagerly: "Denaria Kee, tell me, how many Fleets do we have now?"

In the Holographic Projection, a female Koorivar with red skin, blue robes, and a bird's tongue adorned her head appeared, "I don't think we have any more Fleets, and the Lanos offensive, especially those of the Bothans, whose resistance was resolute."

"If we want to attack Christophsis, how sure are we?" Passel Argente continued to ask.

"It's simply impossible!" Denaria Kee concluded directly.

Passel Argente was still not reconciled, he thought for a while, and said: "Go and contact the Sy Myrth, they should have a Fleet in their hands! Tell them, I have a big business to do! Also, contact the Retail Clan. I'll talk to them myself!"
