Chapter 710: Dead Soldiers (Part 1)
709. Dead Soldiers (Part 1)
22BBY, September.
A Jaeger-class battlecruiser is sailing in space. However, unlike the Jaeger-class battlecruisers that can be seen elsewhere, this battleship can be said to be in tatters.
Countless scars and even gaps on the body have witnessed countless battles. Even the Republic’s unique red and white standard paint on this battleship has become mottled due to too many repairs. Qing Dynasty, and in order to deceive others, the gear-like logo of the Republic was also erased.
On the bridge of the battleship, two Jedi knights wearing brown coarse robes were standing there quietly. However, if another Jedi were present at the scene, they would immediately find that the combination of the middle-aged man and the young girl in front of them exudes the aura of the dark side of the Force.
A combat staff officer came over, stood at attention and saluted, and then said to the two Jedi Knights: "General Shen-Jon, we have arrived at the planet Kessel. It's just... this planet It’s a prison planet, and it has been disconnected from the Republic for several years. What are we doing here? There won’t be the supplies we want here.”
Shen-Qiaoen raised his head slightly and showed his face. Hidden under the hood, the chin was full of vicissitudes of life, with stubble of varying lengths like weeds, looking very dirty. He paid attention to the irregularly shaped planet with a maximum diameter of about 7900 kilometers projected on the hologram, and his expression was slightly relaxed.
He exhaled a breath and said slowly: "This prison planet is almost unmanaged. I can only say that the situation on it is very complicated. But I know a man named Kassar Forge ), he is a teacher and should be able to help us get the supplies we need."
"Teacher? Supplies? I can't connect these three things, Master. asked the young Jedi apprentice on the side.
"This is normal, Nat Reese." Shen Qiaoen said: "There was a riot on the planet Kosher three years ago. The prisoners detained there killed almost all the prison officials and then became independent. Now, these prisoners are relying on the planet Kosher to engage in spice smuggling. Their business has been growing in recent years, and I heard that they are also supported by the Hutts. So, we should be able to get supplies from there, of course. This is illegal. [Note 1]"
"So, where is this teacher named Casal Fogg?" Nat Reese asked.
“Before the riots in Kochel Prison, Casal Fogg was the initiator of a prisoner re-education program in the Galactic Republic. He personally went to the planet Kochel to teach the prisoners to read and write. It can be said that, In the hell on earth before the riot, Casal Fogg was the only ray of light. Therefore, after the riot, although all the officials were killed, the prisoners did not touch him, but continued to hire him as a teacher. We know each other, he should help me this time," Shen Qiaoen said.
Nat Reese nodded and said nothing.
Shen Jon took Nat Reese on a shuttle and landed at a spaceport in Kessendra, the capital of the planet Keshel. They walked out of the spacecraft and could see a lot of things along the way. Most of the people who arrived were fierce-looking people of different races. Most of these people have tattoos on their bodies and are basically fully armed. Most of them have old-fashioned blaster rifles from before the Galactic Republic.
While walking on the road, suddenly a Farin woman with a large sniper rifle on her back bumped into her intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Qiaoen dodged it in advance, but the Farin woman still took advantage of the situation and staggered away. He came over and cursed angrily, "You two outsiders, be careful of me..."
"Take me to see Casal Fogg." Shen Qiaoen raised his hand and said lightly.
The Falin woman was instantly controlled by the Force. She said a little dullly: "Okay, I will take you to see Casal Fogg."
She took Shen-Jon walked all the way to a small office building. This office building still retained the style of the Galactic Republic, but now it was somewhat incompatible with this world occupied by prisoners. Inside the office building, they saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked very polite. This man is at least two meters tall, but he is not strong. This height makes him a little thin.
"Long time no see, Master Shen." The middle-aged man is Casal Fogg mentioned by Jon Shen. "I wonder why you came to the planet Keshel?"
< br>"Revenge." Shen Qiaoen said lightly, "I have a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in my hand, and I need supplies."
"Revenge?" Casal Fogg frowned brow.
Shen-Jon replied: "A separatist general named Severance Tann attacked the core world of the Republic and killed my apprentice, Stam Reese."< br>
"Also my brother." Nat Reese added from the side.
"Then it should be a matter of course for you to hunt down this separatist general, right? Why is it related to revenge and why do you have to go to the planet Kosher for supplies?" Casal Fogg asked with some confusion. .
"My actions are not allowed by the Republic, because according to my investigation along the way, this matter may have something to do with the Hutts. That's why I entered the Hutt space." Shen - Jon answered.
Cassar Fogg thought for a while and said: "Well, I should be able to help you get supplies. If you have enough transport planes, you can land them without a battleship. But... this It takes a lot of money."
"I should still have about 50,000 Republic credits in my hand," Shen Qiaoen said.
"First of all, this money is not enough. Secondly, Hutt space does not accept credit points. The common currency here is Upi Upi coins." Casal Fogg sighed, he is just a teacher , also helpless.
"Is there any way I can get money?" Shen Qiaoen asked.
Cassar-Fogg pondered for a while and said: "I have heard some rumors before. It seems that an army of the Republic suffered a defeat on the planet Mimban and was almost completely destroyed. I think, Maybe you can find some valuable things there. If you can find supplies, you don't have to come to the planet Keshel. It's not peaceful here after all."
Shen-Qiaoen nodded and said again. Pushing a memory device over, he said: "Help me find out about this man, Yap, who was an energetic engineer of the Republic. He later betrayed the separatists. He is developing a secret weapon for the separatists."

[Note 1: Xiaojing brought this riot in advance, but this is not a critical thing. 】
