Extent of Core World trades with Sith Empire revealed as arms companys report stock drops
Following the imposition of sanctions against the Sith Empire last night, the extend of certain companies ties with the Empire have become clear, with many firms reporting steep drops in share prices. Whilst some have been quick to play this down as 'standard market volatility', others have confirmed that the impact is far worse. In a report published late last night, the University of Coruscant confirmed that many companies 'cannot sell ships they have been building for months' saying that the sanctions will cause a 'domino effect' impacting industries that supply these manufacturers.
However, the questions posed run far deeper - why are Core World companies developing ships in such a magnitude of sale, that the cessation of their sale has caused stock prices at their firms to 'collapse'?
The sanctions, which where subject to heated debate in the Senate, appears to have sent worlds such as Fondor, Kuat and Corellia (all mentioned in the Coruscant University report) into crisis. Just how much where they selling to the enemies of their own Governments? In hindsight, it seems Chancellor Ro was on the ball when he accused other Senators of pocketing money from the Sith Empire thanks to their worlds weapons and ship sales to the New Republics enemies.
Whilst the complete impact of these sanctions is yet to be seen, they've made one thing clear if reports are to be believed - some worlds in the Republic where selling ships and more, in huge volumes, to the enemy.
