Chapter 25 Pirates
24. Pirates
At the same time, the Endor galaxy.
Three small spacecraft emerged from hyperspace and appeared in the star system. They were two G-9 light cargo ships and a GX-1 transport ship. Although they are called cargo ships, they have actually undergone a lot of modifications, and the cargo bays have been converted into laser turrets, making the armament of these cargo ships reach an extremely strong level.
"Endor Galaxy, take a spin here. See if there is anything abnormal." In the communication channel, a pilot said lazily.
"I don't know what Master Dooku asked us to find in the Model Sector. It's simply too difficult." Another person added.
"Isn't it? Search all over the Model Sector. If I have this time, I might as well go to the Outer Rim and do it!"
"Stop it, the money given by Master Dooku It’s enough for us to have a good time after returning to Serenno, and work hard!”
“Boss! There is a strong radar signal in the direction of the Endor planet!”
“This is the Endor galaxy! There are people in this place! Maybe there’s business!”
...
Qui-Gon Jin picked up the tea cup and took a small sip. The fragrance of black tea filled his mouth, making people feel relaxed and happy. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and savor the fragrance.
"Are you still used to drinking this kind of black tea? Master Qui-Gon." Daphne Clement sat across from Qui-Gon and said with a smile.
"I have never had a drink that is so... well, I cannot say it is delicious, but it should be said that it makes people feel comfortable." Qui-Gon Jin nodded in reply.
"How do you feel about the inspection of our Fourth Group's colonies these days?" Clement continued to ask.
"There is really nothing to doubt, except...the large-scale mining farm you opened on the fourth satellite. Are you planning to develop industry here?" Qui-Gon asked in return.
“Yes, our group also has some shipbuilding business.” Clement replied.
"Those who can build spaceships are all large group companies." Qui-Gon Jin stood up and looked through the mothership's spacious portholes at the small interstellar dock under construction outside the window, then turned back and asked: "Then why have I never heard of the Fourth Group before?"
"Our group has just been established, so many things have only just begun."
"I remember, in Endor Are there native species on the planet?" Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Well, you have changed the name of the planet to Dawn, but this change must be reported to the relevant department of the Republic. Just be prepared.”
"That's right, the Ewok people. We get along very well with them, and have already begun to teach some Ewok people to help us build houses and other tasks. After we fully master their language, we will gradually start We must educate the Ewok people and strive to bring them into civilized society as soon as possible." Clement's answer was precise. "In addition, there are other intelligent species on the Dawn Planet, such as the Duroks, but they are too aggressive. Preliminary exploratory contacts are still being made. "
"Well, I hope so. You know, genocide due to colonial expansion is strictly prohibited in the Galactic Republic." Obi-Wan said.
"This is natural. We have dedicated staff to handle this in Coruscant." Clement replied with a smile, but he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
Clerk, what a fart! Even the term Coruscant was only heard a few days ago from Felasi, who was held here as a hostage.
"So your leader, Tang Xiao. Has he not been contacted yet?" Qui-Gon Jin asked.
A worried look appeared on Clement's face, "Not yet, he should have been in the hyperspace channel. I don't know where he went. Originally, according to the plan, he should go to the planet Tatooine to see See if there are any channels for selling products."
"What kind of person is Tang Xiao?"
Clement smiled, "He is far-sighted, approachable, and fearless. Although she is still a little immature, she is growing into an excellent leader. "I think she means it, Master," Obi-Wan Kenobi whispered from the side, "The Force can feel her now." Emotions."
"If he can own such a magnificent mothership at such a young age and start a colonization plan for a planet, then this Tang Xiao can afford such praise. ." Qui-Gon Jin laughed.
"On behalf of our managers, I would like to express my gratitude for your affirmation." Clement stood up very solemnly and bowed to the two of them.
[Notification, there is a communication cut-in. 】The voice of the mastermind suddenly came.
"Transfer it over." Chief of Staff Qi Jian, who was working in the staff department on the other side, said immediately.
Then a very arrogant face appeared on the big screen on the bridge, "Where did your big ship come from? You came to the planet Endor to mine without permission. Do you have a permit? We are the Galactic Republic. Tax officer, come here to investigate your tax situation. If you are wise, please hand over your taxes quickly, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude!”
Qi Jian’s face turned dark, “Tax officer? Humph! You are here to grab it!”
"I said, we are acting in accordance with the rules and regulations." The man was still very arrogant, "A spaceship as big as yours should hand over... a tax of 1 million credit points, pay it as soon as possible!"
< br>On the other side, Obi-Wan Kenobi stood up suddenly and was about to rush to the other side of the screen, but was stopped by Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon turned to Clement and said: "I can assure you that the tax collectors of the Galactic Republic are not like this."
"I understand, please wait a moment." Clement With a serious face, she stood up and walked towards the combat command center.
"Master, these people are obviously pirates! We can't sit idly by like this!" Obi-Wan whispered to Qui-Gon after Clement walked away.
"We are guests. In this case, we should wait for the master's decision." Qui-Gon shook his head gently.
"I understand this, but this..."
"Calm down, Obi-Wan, no matter what happens, we are capable of handling it."
"Yes, Master."
Over at the command center, Qi Jian gave an order, "Notify the entire ship to enter combat status! Everyone returns to work, and fighter pilots enter the fighter planes to wait for instructions! The interstellar mining farm stops working!"
Mothership An alarm sounded immediately inside, and the staff who were taking turns came out of their dormitories and ran to their respective posts.
"Sir! There are three spaceships heading towards the interstellar mining station on the gaseous planet! The lengths of the spacecraft range from 30 to 50 meters, and they belong to the light frigate class!" the radar soldier turned around and shouted.
"Give the other party an ultimatum and ask them to stop advancing! Otherwise we will resort to force!" Qi Jian said decisively.
Clement is a little worried, "We only have some blade fighters now. The combat capabilities of this kind of fighter..."
"Even if there is only a dagger left in my hand, I We must fight to the end!" Qi Jian's eyes seemed to be lit with fire.
