The Battle launched by General Grievous was later named the Ritual Attack by the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic because this period was originally the date of the Ancient Mon Calamari Festival. Still, because of General Grievous's crazy offensive, which forced the Mon Calamari people to interrupt the festival, their Planet penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Separatists and was cut off from contact.
During the Festival Offensive, the Cerulean Spear Command of the 12th Army of the Galactic Republic were utterly defeated, and almost all jurisdictions of the Maldrood Oversector were occupied. If General Grievous had not been indifferent to their Capital Planet of Lantillies, maybe the 12th Army would be the next one to be delisted.
In addition, the 4th Army and the 16th Army of the Republic also suffered heavy losses and almost lost the ability to fight again. During the rescue process, the Iron Lance Command of the 13th Army stationed in Hutt Space was also severely damaged by the Fleet and had to shrink back again.
The heavy damage suffered by the 13th Army also directly caused the chaos caused by Darth Malthael in the Hutt Space, at the same time losing the power of checks and balances and intensifying.
Coupled with the Republic's 14th Army Red Tails, which is currently being besieged by the Techno Union's Foreman Wat Tambor, the Capital Planet of Ryloth, nearly half of the 20 Legions established by the Galactic Republic have lost their combat effectiveness.
The Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic immediately began to adjust its deployment, allowing the 3rd Army, one of the Legions that guarded the Core Worlds, to fully reinforce the 12th Army's Headquarters Lantillies, turning the Planet into a Mighty Fortress and also give Therbon, the Governor of the 12th Army, a shot in the arm.
At the same time, prepare for the worst and arrange the evacuation of the 14th Army. However, this action is tantamount to giving up on the Twi'leks, and the Twi'lek Senator Orn Free Taa has a very high reputation in the Senate and, therefore, encountered many obstacles.
Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine took this opportunity to reissue war bonds, borrowing 1,000 Billion Credits from the InterGalactic Banking Clan to build more Warships, strengthen the Army, and develop more Industries.
In fact, the Two Super Giants, the InterGalactic Banking Clan and the Trade Federation, are not entirely committed to the ranks of the Separatists because a large part of their core interests are also in the Inner Rim and Core Worlds of the Galaxy, so even if the war has started, they are still doing business on both sides.
The reason why the Republic surrounded several Core World Planets of the Trade Federation Cato Neimoidia, Neimoidia, as well as the InterGalactic Banking Clan's Mygeeto and Muunilinst, but not attacking, is also the reason.
This colossal war loan has further enhanced the reputation of San Hill, Co-Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. The Senior Officials attributed this to the dividends brought by this war, thereby criticizing San Hill, who decisively supported the Separatist War and became more supportive.
Of course, externally, they still claim that they support the Republic, and all loans and support to the Separatists are only to protect their own Industries. This means that if the Republic threatens the safety of its own Industry, they will naturally fight back.
After receiving the war loan, the Galactic Republic sent an endless stream of orders to the Kuat Drive Yards. The Interstellar Shipyard of Kuat was fully started. Thousands of Venator-class Star Destroyers began to lay down their Hulls on the Star Ring of Kuat. The scene was highly spectacular.
In contrast, another Super Shipbuilding Company fell behind - Rendili StarDrive.
Because of the short-sightedness and decision-making errors of the Company's Top Management, they misjudged the situation before the outbreak of the war. They believed that the modernized and modified Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser could fully meet the needs of the Republic.
The Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser has Mature Technology, low cost, and simple crew training. It has a strong deterrent effect on Pirates, and Battleship Data is also within the regulations of Russan Reform. This was indeed the best option for the Republic's Judiciary Fleet at the time.
However, first, the Blade Fleet, equipped with 200 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers, disappeared, causing the Republic to question the reliability of the Battleships and cancel almost all orders. Then, as several Major Industrial Giants and the Republic broke up with each other at that time, Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, Recusant-class Light Destroyers, and Acclamator-class Assault Ships successively appeared. Not to mention anything else, this Battleship Data was only on paper, and the Republic pushed the Dreadnought to the ground and rubbed it.
Later, the Venator-class Star Destroyer launched by Kuat Drive Yards, the Kol-class Battlecruiser of Dawn, which was discovered after the war began, the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Providence-class Destroyer of the Confederacy of Independent Systems appeared. As soon as the 1,100 - 1,300-Meter class Battleships appeared, the Dreadnought was thrown directly into the garbage dump.
It was already too late by the time Rendili StarDrive realized all this.
They urgently began to design a new type of Capital Warship, the 900-Meter Victory-class Star Destroyer, but after all, they were already a big step behind. When Officials from the Combat Readiness Procurement Office of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic learned that Rendili's new Warship was actually only a 900-Meter Warship, and it would take eight months to be submitted for active service, they turned around and left without even entering.
While Corellian Engineering Corporation has its own fixed market share in Merchant Ships, Cargo Ships, and Small Spacecraft, the gap between Rendili StarDrive and Kuat Drive Yards in Large Battleships is getting broader and more expansive.
In short, the gears of the Galactic Republic War did not slow down because Rendili StarDrive fell behind. On the contrary, they began to rotate faster and faster and became larger and larger, like a black hole devouring countless resources.
At this time, Mineral Planets across the Galaxy were attracting increasing attention, so the discovery of precious minerals on a Remote Planet that no one had ever paid attention to, Jabiim, caused a conflict between the Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems.
Jabiim is an originally Inconspicuous Planet in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, and It has a very harsh climate. Basically, there are only a maximum of 5 rotation days in a revolution year that are sunny, and the rest of the time, it rains.
Also, because of the Planet's Atmosphere's unique structure, there are many Electromagnetic Particles in the Planet's Clouds, which will significantly interfere with the flight of Spacecraft and Starfighters.
In such an environment, outsiders are basically unwilling to go to Jabiim, and the Republic cannot exploit anything there.
Around 34 BBY, Jabiim was attacked by the Brain Plague Virus and then was attacked by Interstellar Pirates, but the Galactic Republic remained indifferent.
The Outer Rim Planets Mutual Aid Fund, established by Claire Underwood, who was just rising in Coruscant Politics at the time, helped Jabiim and funded Bounty Hunters to repel the Pirates.
It is such a Shabby Planet that neither your Father nor Grandma cares about it. In recent months, Mineral Veins hidden at the bottom of deep underground swamps have been suddenly discovered. The Metal produced in the Mineral Veins is a crucial material used by the Republic's Shipbuilding Industry to make Titanium and Durasteel Armor Plating!
As a result, Officials from the Galactic Republic rushed over with a piece of paper in their hands, wanting to exchange cheap food and dumped products for all the Mineral Veins of Jabiim.
