Aftermath

The Eriadu Business Summit was destined to be a farce.

After the Droid riots brought the summit to a complete halt, delegates from all sides stormed home, and things didn't end there.

First, the angry Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, Finis Valorum, announced a thorough investigation of the terrorist attack. He concluded that there must be someone inside cooperating with the Nebula Front.

The Jedi Knight Master Qui-Gon Jinn also captured the leader of the Nebula Front. However, she couldn't ask anything, because the judge of the Republic was surprised to find that although someone was definitely cooperating with her, this poor idiot didn't even know who that person was!

The investigation was carried out with difficulty, but all the clues were cut off at the very beginning. The officer who received the goods, the technician who maintained the scanner, and the transporter who transported the Droid, just these few kittens, three or two, if you continue to check, you will immediately feel a big net covering everything, and the investigation will not continue at all.

This attack must have involved military personnel because, they clearly know where the defenders were deployed, and they can also deploy problematic Droids in the most critical places. However, even so, the investigation against the military still could not be carried out at all, and nothing could be found.

In the end, all the culpability can only be attributed to the Nebula Front, and then a few office workers, radical reporters, and related personnel at the bottom are arrested and the matter is over.

And because of this terrorist attack, the Galactic Republic Senate, the organizer of the summit, was widely questioned. Amidst the scolding, the Deputy Chancellor of the Galactic Congress, Botan, resigned sadly and died of illness at home a few months later.

The highly prestigious Naboo planet Senator Sheev Palpatine declined the proposal to take over as the deputy speaker, and finally, the Deputy Chancellor of the Senate was served by the young and vigorous Mas Amedda.

Such a result will obviously not satisfy Finis Valorum. In fact, this terrorist attack has pushed him into a corner. In desperation and madness, Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum took out his rage on the Jedi Order.

He issued a directive ordering the Jedi Order not to participate in any affairs of the Galactic Republic. If there is anything that requires the participation of the Jedi Knights, it must be entrusted by the Galactic Senate before the Jedi Knights can participate.

As for the Jedi Order, although Master Mace Windu was angry at this decision, Master Yoda just accepted it very calmly.

Afterwards, Finis Valorum determined that behind the terrorist attack must be those corporate giants, and the issues of the summit had not been resolved, so he unilaterally announced that the Galactic Republic would implement the tax policy in the outer ring star region, every planet in the outer ring star sector must cooperate with the Republic to complete the economic census and the work of tax officials.

This decision caused an uproar in the Senate. The ring faction members, mainly composed of members of the outer ring star district, left angrily on the spot and issued a joint statement that the outer ring star district rejected the tax policy of the Galactic Republic unless the Judicial Fleet of the Republic could prove that they can defend the outer planets.

Among those corporate giants, the terrorist attack at the Business Summit also caused turbulent changes.

The Fourth Group convoy attacked by the Nebula Front was actually a convoy from the Trade Federation. In this attack, representatives of the Trade Federation were almost wiped out, including representatives of the largest shipbuilder and industrial giant in the galaxy, Kuat Drive Yards.

Several of the highest-level leaders were killed at one time, and the Kuat Drive Yards expressed anger at the Trade Federation, and they announced their withdrawal from the Trade Federation. A month later, he announced his withdrawal from the Technology Alliance, completely going it alone, and drawing a line with those commercial alliances.

However, the Trade Federation also had troubles, and they were the ones who suffered the most this time.

However, even bigger changes have occurred, and the Trade Federation can't take into account the adverse effects of Kuat Drive Yard's withdrawal from the alliance and the decline in stock prices.

Because the current Viceroy of the Trade Federation was killed in this terrorist attack, not only the governor but also the entire management team around the governor, now the Trade Federation, one of the largest economic entities in the galaxy, has actually entered a power vacuum.

At this time, Nute Gunray, who had been ready to go, suddenly emerged, quickly defeated all competitors with thunderous means, and officially assumed the post of Viceroy of the Trade Federation.

During this process, a group of high-ranking trade union officials, including Rune Haako, almost all stood by Nute Gunray to help him quickly stabilize the situation and take control of the entire Trade Federation. They also entered the power core of the Trade Federation as they wished.

Behind this change of power, Darth Sidious's support for Nute Gunray, and Francis Underwood's support for Rune Haako all allowed them to successfully transfer their Tentacles stretched into this huge economic entity.

The withdrawal of the Kuat Drive Yards and the rise of Nute Gunray marked that the Trade Federation was completely controlled by the Neimoidians, and their economic policies began to tilt.

The co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan San Hill was also frightened by the terrorist attack. He announced that he would no longer participate in the general election next year. In this way, among the remaining candidates, San Hill's advantage is almost unshakable, and he has basically been determined to be the next co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan.

After more than a month of chaos, those corporate giants who have finally straightened themselves out have also counterattacked against a series of moves by the Galactic Republic.

The Trade Federation, the Interstellar Banking Clan, the Enterprise Alliance, the Commercial Guild, and the Technology Alliance issued a joint statement, stating that they absolutely do not approve of the Galactic Republic's unilateral taxation of the Outer Rim star region, and claim that this is a trampling on the democracy of the galaxy.

And in order to cope with the increasingly severe security situation, these corporate giants also unilaterally announced that the restrictions on the specifications of warships owned by enterprises during the Russan reform are invalid. That is, they will start building and purchasing large warships without restrictions.

The Fourth Group stood firmly on the side of the Trade Federation, joined the joint statement, and publicly condemned the Galactic Republic. However, their ad with the video of the previous battle of the Malastare was taken down-after all, it was Sheev Palpatine's order.

The Galactic Republic, which has lost the support of the Judicial Fleet, is unable to respond to the provocations of the corporate giants. Instead, it was Kuat Drive Yards who quietly announced their current spaceship project in testing as a tit-for-tat answer—

Acclamator-class Assault Ship!!
