1 Year later after the Massacre on Circarpous IV, The war between the Criminal Alliance and the CIS was still going on. But it had now turned into a three way war as the Galactic Empire had joined the Conflict.
But the fighting was happening more between the Galactic Empire and the CIS since Emperor Palpatine didn't see the Criminal Alliance as that much of a threat in it's current state.
As of now the Criminal Alliance was holding it's ground against both the CIS and the Galactic Empire. As long as their business kept going on throughout the Galaxy then they could continue this war for years until they either win or beat back the CIS.
The Criminal Alliance had influence almost everywhere in the Galaxy even on frontier worlds of the Terran Ascendency, but that influence was little to none and had no affect on the planet at all. Ever since the establishment of the Terran Ascendency Alexander has long made it an issue to ensure that Gangs and other Criminal factions don't gain too much influence on his worlds.
This counted towards those worlds that were recently conquered in the war with the CIS. Any Criminal Faction influence, assets, or any other major influential thing was completely destroyed on any world conquered by the Terran Ascendency.
And for the 2nd time in 50 years the Galaxy was at war with itself once again as factions fought for control over sectors and key trade routes. The Empire wanted to gain more planet's and resources to increase the Imperial military, the CIS wanted to capture Key trade routes to connect their separated territory, And the Criminal Alliance had members who fought together for their own reasons.
Billions of people were affected by this massive war since with thousands of ships between the three factions, dozens of planet's could be besieged at the same time which could result in Thousands dead, Hundreds of thousands, and possibly Millions dead, depending on the scale of the battle.
But for the CIS it would be Droids that died and not actual Human life, while for the Galactic Empire they did use Clones for a portion of their army but a large part of that was also recruits from the Planets under their control.
And even then a Clone was by Terran Law considered to be a Living being with basic rights as any other race.
As for the Criminal Alliance, most of their Armies were made out of Mercenaries and Slaves.
For now Alexander remained neutral in the conflict as he didn't want to start a war just yet. He wanted to build up his forces so that nobody in the Galaxy would be able to stop him and he could just steam roll all over the enemy forces.
And he was close to his plan for conquering the Galaxy since he had finished subjugating the rest of the Unknown Regions besides the Chiss Ascendency whom he has left alone for now since they were not a threat nor did he want to go through the hassle of conquering them since unlike the other nations in the Unknown regions they were much stronger and resilient.
Plus he had already been contacted by a diplomat from the Chiss Ascendency stating their intentions to want to remain neutral and isolated.
So for now Alexander would maintain a neutral relationship with them until he decides otherwise.
The nations whom he has subjugated in the Unknown Regions were the following:
Kilji Illumine- The Kilji Illumine was the theocratic government of the Kilji species, who believed that all beings should be enlightened to their religious beliefs, the Kilji way of order and enlightenment.
Paccian Governance- The Paccian Governance was the government of the Paccosh sentient species, based in the planet of Rapacc in the Unknown Regions. Its capital city was Boropacc. The Governance was led by the Paccosh leaders, who approved decisions and controlled foreign affairs.
Vak Combine- The Vak Combine was the government of the Vak people in the Unknown Regions, with its capital being the Primea system.
Including the Garwian Unity, Paataatus Hiveborn, The Tower Dimension, Nikardun Destiny, and the Former Grysk Hegemony these were all the subjects that were now under The Terran Ascendency.
Alexander didn't forget about the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium since they were the first subject under the Terran Ascendency and have remained Loyal since they were subjigated.
They Ssi-ruuvi Imperium Military has been transformed into a new type of System which matched the Terran Ascendency and ensured a Stable Command Structure and a Professional Army.
Since they were subjugated the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium has replenished their Military to which over the course of a 5 years has transformed into a proper Military.
Naboo which was still a neutral planet continued to maintain it's independence with the support of the Terran military. There was a new Queen of Naboo whose name is now Queen Apailana. She continued to follow in the steps of the previous Monarch and build up Naboo's Military structure.
Meanwhile Mandalore which was now led by Empress Satine was apart of the Terran Ascendency but maintained it's Autonomy. Many Mandalorian's joined the Terran military to get a chance to fight while a few still worked as Mercenaries.
Even though Mandalore now was peaceful there were still those warriors who wanted to fight as a Mandalorian to prove to the Galaxy that they had not lost their touch and they was still the strongest.
