712 A.R.R, THE SHIPYARDS OF CORELLIA:

The shipyards were more busy than ever. Everyone was quite excited. The Corellians were famous for their wonder lust throughout the galaxy. Alexander had given his Corellians subjects, the responsibility of exploring the deep core and building base camps on the habitable planets. Excitement was palatable in the air. Hundreds of capital ships were being  prepared for departure. Each ship was being loaded with all the items needed for the building of base camps and communication towers.

In order to camoflogue this operation, Alexander had the Corellian government  buy 500 habitable planets from the P.T.O in bulk. Alexander himself had financed the purchase and also had the chairman of PTO give 5 percent discount on the overall amount. This sparked a competition between various core worlds and mega corporations to buy habitable planets in bulk. The Kuatians alone brought 1,500 habitable planets in bulk. Alexander had in in stroke had managed to gain extra 15,000 habitable planets as a part of his kingdom.

Till now, PTO had sold 30,000 habitable planets and 60,000 inhabitable planets. The whole galaxy was expriencing a massive economy boom right now and even the outer rim had been affected. Alexander had stopped paying attention to the monetary figures when the Intergalactic Banking Clan was completely brought under Alexander's control. All the people working in all the banking institutions of the galaxy were his subjects and all the properties owned by the Banking Clan were conquered by him. Now, Alexander had bases over nearly all the settled planets of the galaxy. Like all the previous contracts, these bulk contracts also stated that the planets would be Alexander's in 50 years. As a result of this mass buying, a great exodus of people left the core worlds; inner and mid rims and also, some people from outer rim also moved to these newly brought planets.

In these two years, Alexander's forces were fully focussed on conquest and had conquered 10,000 planets for his kingdom. Alexander had found that his kingdom's flag along with his forces had to remain on a planet's surface for one month, for that planet to be conquered completely. If the flag is removed after one week, only the crust would be conquered, two weeks for crust and mantle and a whole month for the whole planet. It was also found that the forces had to face relentless assualt of the local life for the first week. Earthquakes and other natural calamities for the second week and; sudden and exteme rise and fall in temperature for the rest of the two weeks along with natural calamities. Thankfully, the camps were made of quantum metal and enchanted fabrics so no extreme difficulty was expreienced during conquest . Most of the native life died till the end of conquest and after the conquest was complete, a rapid healing of the planet occured and all the lost life was restored. This was all pretty beautiful to witness.

Most of the conquered planets didn't have any native life except harmless plants so the conquest was easy till now. A few lives had been lost but the afterlife ensured that they were not lost forever. Alexander had made his criminal subjects the main driving force behind the conquest. Alexander also found that the souls of these people were in different shades of black depending on the crimes committed by them and it took more time for the afterlife to absorb and clean them. So, the good souls are reincarnated first while the bad souls have to wait for few hundred years.

Alexander had conquered these planets so that the population boom in  his kingdom, which occurs after every conquest, can be withstood. While, Alexander was busy in conquest of empty planets, the droids released by his scientists had completely mapped out the galaxy. The galaxy had 8.2 million habitable planets which were so scattered that the primitive droids were not able to detect all of them and the Republic never tried to gather more Intel as 3.2 million habitable planets were more than enough.

The Resources Department under Anna ordered full deployment of kingdom's forces to assimilate this planets. The current population of star wars galaxy was estimated to be 8 quintrillion. The experts of the kingdom were sweating buckets at the thought of the massive population boom that would occur when all these beings are brought into the kingdom. All the possible resource planets were marked for conquest as the experts were afraid that the resources of the kingdom would come short and they would not be able to support the new population. It was estimated that it would take 250 years to conquer all the marked planets. Alexander ordered the PTO to step up it's operations and start selling more planets in bulk.
