Star Alliance
This is a special star region containing many galaxies.
Similar to the Reef Starfield, these star systems in the Star Alliance are extremely lacking in native resources.
However, the advantage lies in the fact that the region where the Star Alliance is located is very suitable for interstellar trade!
Whether it was the various interstellar forces within the Galactic Alliance, or even before the Machine Race withdrew, they all had excellent channels to reach the Machine Race-occupied territories.
As for why go to the Machine Race's territory, it's because there are always people offering bounties for things that can only be found in the Machine Race's territory.
In addition to interstellar merchants, there are also occasional part-time interstellar adventurers in the Star Alliance.
"That's pretty much how the Star Alliance works. Here, it doesn't matter what race you are, whether you can breathe or not, whether you have one head or two heads."
As long as you have this, you can get anything done.
Although the Star Alliance has its own laws, everyone knows that whether these laws exist depends on how high your bid is. Xue Xiaoxiao said with a familiar expression, rubbing her thumb and forefinger together.
Meanwhile, Xue Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Chen sitting in her captain's chair with some displeasure.
She even had her favorite purple cushion laid out on it, and the backrest was shaped like a cartoon doll she liked.
It felt like my house had been robbed.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about this person's identity and could only watch helplessly.
"What is the currency here?" Zhao Chen asked.
Anything of value is acceptable.
"The most commonly used material is naturally star ore," Xue Xiaoxiao said.
Star minerals are the most common type of mineral and have a wide range of uses; star minerals are used in 50% of the raw materials for building an interstellar warship.
The original legal tender of the Galactic Alliance, Starcoin, was made from Starcoin's raw materials and its counterpart, namely Star Ore.
Because of the large output and quantity of star ore, the price is very stable.
That's why everyone likes to use this for interstellar trade.
"How strong is the Star Alliance? Is there anything that can threaten our fleet?" Chu Xuan asked seriously.
Xue Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "With our fleet configuration, how can we be threatened?"
We just need to stop threatening them.
These seventy-two interstellar warships are more than enough to make the Star Alliance roam freely.
However, the Star Alliance's military strength is one thing, but its true strength comes from its network of connections.
Trade disputes and even small-scale local wars often occur within the Star Alliance.
However, everyone knows the reason why the Star Alliance exists within the Galactic Alliance.
Therefore, if an external force launches a war against interstellar forces within the Star Alliance without any reason, the Star Alliance may not confront you directly, and may even swallow its anger and act as if nothing had happened.
But they will use their own 'war tactics' and be blacklisted.
Once you're added to their blacklist, it means you won't be able to use the Star Alliance's channels to conduct interstellar trade. Furthermore, if any interstellar trade related to you is discovered, the Star Alliance will suppress and block it at any cost.
What they excel at is a trade war.
In the realm of trade wars, no one has yet been able to defeat the Alliance of Stars.
Because the Star Alliance has connections throughout the entire Galactic Federation.
You should know that even our Dragon Legion now has quite a few connections with the Star Alliance.
Food trade, starship sales, raw material procurement, and so on.
I don't know if Secretary Lilith mentioned to you that you shouldn't easily damage the relationship with the Star Alliance, otherwise it would cause serious 'internal damage' to the Dragon Squad.
Zhao Chen nodded. Lilith had told him these things before he set off.
But this was just a reminder, because Lilith knew that if Zhao Chen really went that far, it would definitely be because of the commander.
At worst, we can just wipe out another StarCraft alliance.
The Falcon Legion has seen it all along.
"Where can we find intelligence?" Zhao Chen asked.
Chu Xuan spoke first: "I know this, based on the information we collected from our T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship."
Within the Star Alliance, there is a place called Star City, which is a neutral zone within the Star Alliance and a transit point for various interstellar trades.
We should be able to find the intelligence we need there.
Xue Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's right. In Star City, as long as you're willing to spend money, you can find out most kinds of intelligence and information."
“Then let’s go to Star City first,” Zhao Chen said.
At this very moment, Zhao Chen's small fleet, using the T4 Huiguang-class interstellar warship, had already reached the vicinity of the Star Alliance.
Follow the star map and head towards Star City.
From the outside, one would notice that the original emblem of the Dragon Legion is gone from this fleet of dozens of interstellar warships, replaced by a fleet emblem never seen before.
This was Zhao Chen's way of concealing his identity.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen deployed some T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships around the fleet in advance to avoid potential encounters with interstellar fleets as much as possible.
After all, just by looking at the size and hull of Zhao Chen's dozens of interstellar warships from a distance, one could tell that these interstellar warships were extraordinary.
It would also be beneficial for Zhao Chen to reveal these things as late as possible.
"The Qian family is located here, right?" Zhao Chen opened the star map of the Star Alliance and looked at an area that had been marked long ago.
"The Qian family is very wealthy and is one of the largest interstellar traders in the Star Alliance."
It possesses thirteen star systems.
"This entire area belongs to the Qian family." Xue Xiaoxiao pointed to the marked area, which was surrounded by thirteen star systems.
Xue Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Chen curiously: "Why are you suddenly so interested in the Qian family?"
Zhao Chen gave a cryptic reply: "It's nothing, I was just asking."
Xue Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Zhao Chen wasn't the kind of person who would ask a trivial question.
Since he's got his eye on us, nothing good can come of it.
However, Xue Xiaoxiao had no time to think about Zhao Chen's motives.
She's more worried about herself now.
It should be fine.
If I just keep my whereabouts discreet this time, how could I possibly run into the Star Alliance, which is so large?
Once the task is completed, I will leave without anyone noticing.
She's still the same Xue Xiaoxiao who lives life to the fullest.
As Xue Xiaoxiao pondered her own thoughts, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen, who was standing next to him, was also thinking about his own things.
Looking at the two people, each with their own ulterior motives, Chu Xuan had a feeling that this trip to the Star Alliance was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
It seems like something big is about to happen.
