To everyone else the CIS is a stable galactic powerbloc. IT also helps to keep in mind that outside of Palpatine (who is trying to manipulate it into existence) and the Hutts (Who have the institutional knowledge to recognize things), the fact that the CIS is a powderkeg ready to ignite into civil war is NOT something readily apparent.

AS the CIS is still the strongest player in the region, strong enough that the disaster of Naboo is more a 'setback' than 'utterly destroying our nation'. There really is no big benefit, and a lot of downsides to backstabing the CIS here. THe whole cease fire treaty that we know is coming was always more 'take a breath while we re arm and centralize for round two' for BOTH SIDES than something that settles the question of who has more strength between the two.Īnd to the Bothans? while in the immediate term they ahve a unscathaed fleet in the area, the CIS is sitll a industrial JUGGERNAUGHT that any idiot knows will be recouping its fleet losses quickly to reinforce teh gains of their successful offensive (And make no mistake about it, just because the capstone of Naboo has turned into a military disaster, the offensive HAS overall been successful in its primary goal of relieving CIS pockets and reconnecting CIS territory in the region). their trap here was always going to cause enough damage to their fleets that they wren't going to be able to regain the losses the CIS offense caused except int he mos tlimited of manner (and thats still up in the air on how combat capable the GAR South fleets will be after this match even if they win) Nor is GAR south going to go on the offesnive either. and the CIS on paper still has plenty of resources and shipyards to recoup that. The CIS losing their fleet here is not some exsteinal crisis for them shipwise, it merely means they have to delay longer their next offensive while they recoup losses. Keep in mind this whole offensive form the CIS? ITs main logic was 'We can afford only ONE big offensive without endangering our defensive fleets thorughout ALL of CIS space". Why is everyone assuming the Bothans are going to backstab the CIS simply because they lost the Battle of Naboo? You could argue Daron has suffered plenty of betrayals, he just doesn't get angry about them because he knows they are coming a mile away. He did the impossible to turn the tide of the war by killing Dooku yet his only rewards were scorn from the politicians in the capital and them making a treaty to give up everything he fought for.Īs for the Force? Well it dragged him into this whole mess to begin with! Made him to spend his life fighting just to survive its grand schemes for balance. For the Jedi, the supposed heroes of the Republic to do that to a child without remorse, can you not call that a betrayal? Or what about the affair with Krell? Where even after plunging into the very depths of a tomb to fight Dark side undead foes to save the trapped ghosts of the Jedi the Order still refused to aid him when falsely accused? Or Stass who was in many ways basically his mother in all but name making it clear several time that no matter how much she cares for him the Order will always be first for her.Īnd what about the Republic? He gave everything to it yet all the work he did was met with nothing but scorn for his work. He was taken from his family by force by Mace Windu who used the Force to brainwash his family into agreeing. Click to shrink.I mean you could argue he has suffered a few betrayals already from a certain point of view.
