The Crocodile Clan had initially been quite upset.
Their mining areas had frequently been harassed by the mutant worms, and there had even been suspicions that other allied fleets might be secretly targeting them.
Yet, they were completely helpless against these mutant worms, which was a source of great shame.
However, as time went on, the Crocodile Clan suddenly realized that it wasn't just their mining areas being attacked; the others were also experiencing similar issues with the worms.
In this way, the Crocodile Clan became very calm.
They did not worry about scarcity, but about unevenness—since everyone got hit, it was the same as not being hit.
The ones who truly suffered the biggest loss were the Shadow Clan.
The Shadow Clan was powerful, but their numbers were extremely limited. They didn't control any mining areas, but they took 50% of the profits from the mining operations on the planet as protection fees.
