Chapter 24: Pirates


    At the same time, the Endor gxy.


    Three small ships emerged from hyperspace into the star system, two G-9 light cargo ships and a GX-1 transport ship. Although it is called a cargo ship, it has actually undergone a lot of modifications. The cargo hold has been converted into aser turret, which makes these cargo ships armed to an extremely strong level.


    "Endor gxy, let''s go around here. See if there is anything unusual." In themunication channel, a pilot saidzily.


    "I don''t know what Master Dooku asked us to find in the Mordel sector. It''s simply too difficult." Another person answered.


    "Isn''t it? I''ve searched all over the Moddell Star area. If I have this time, I might as well go to the outer ring to make a vote!"


    "Stop talking, the money Master Dooku gave is enough for us to be cool for a while after returning to Serenno, work hard!"


    "Boss! There is a strong radar signal in the direction of Endor!"


    "There are people in this ce of no shit in the Endor gxy? Ha! Maybe the business is here! Go and have a look!"


    ...


    Qui-Gon Jinn picked up the teacup and took a small sip. The fragrance of ck tea filled his mouth, making people feel refreshed. He couldn''t help taking a deep breath, savoring the fragrance.


    "Are you still used to drinking this kind of ck tea? Master Qui-Gon." Daphne-Clement said with a smile while sitting opposite Qui-Gon.


    "I''ve never drank such... Well, it can''t be said to be delicious, it should be said to be a drink that makes people feelfortable." Qui-Gon Jinn replied with a nod.


    "How do you feel about the colony inspection of our Fourth Group these days?" Clement continued to ask.


    "There is really nothing doubtful about it, except... therge mining farm you opened on the fourth satellite, are you nning to develop industries here?" Qui-Gon asked.


    "Yes, the group also has some shipbuilding business," Clement replied.


    "Those who can build spaceships are allrge grouppanies." Qui-Gon Jinn stood up, looked at the small interster dock under construction through the spacious porthole of the mothership, and asked back: "Then why have I never Have you never heard of the Fourth Group?"


    "Our group has just been established, so many things are just getting started."


    "I remember, on the Endor, there are native species, right?" Obi-Wan Kenobi asked suddenly, who had been silent all this time, "Well, you have changed the name of the to Dawn. But this change It must be reported to the relevant department of the Republic."


    "That''s right, the Ewoks. We get on well with them and have already started teaching some Ewoks to help us build houses and things like that. After we have fully mastered theirnguage, we will gradually develop For the civilizing work of the Ewoks, strive to let them enter a civilized society as soon as possible." Clement''s answer was thorough, "In addition, there are other intelligent species on the Dawn, such as the Durocs, but they are too aggressive. Preliminary exploratory contacts are still underway."


    "Well, I hope so. You know that genocide caused by colonial expansion is strictly prohibited in the Gctic Republic," Obi-Wan said.


    "It''s natural. We have special staff in Coruscant to handle this matter." Clement replied with a smile, but his heart couldn''t stop beating.


    Clerk, what a fart! Even the term Coruscant was only heard a few days ago from Fssie, who was held here as a hostage.


    "Then your leader, Tang Xiao. Is he still in contact?" Qui-Gon Jinn 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, ording to the n, he should go to the Tatooine. See if there is a channel to sell the product."


    "What kind of person is Tang Xiao?"


    Clement smiled, "He is visionary, approachable, and fearless. Although he is still a little immature, he is growing into an excellent leader."


    "I think she''s telling the truth, Master." Obi-Wan Kenobi whispered from the sidelines. "The Force can feel her emotions right now."


    "To be able to own such a magnificent spaceship at such a young age, and start a colonization n for a, then this Tang Xiao deserves such praise." Qui-Gon Jinnughed.


    "I thank you for your affirmation on behalf of our Supreme Commander." Clement stood up very solemnly and bowed to the two.


    [Notice, there is amunication cut-in. ]The voice of the Brain suddenly came.


    "Transfer over here." 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 youe from this big ship? You came to the Endor without permission to mine, do you have a permit? We are the tax officials of the Gctic Republic, and we are here to investigate Your tax situation. If you are sensible, hand over your taxes to us, or don''t me us for being rude!"


    Qi Jian''s face turned dark immediately, "Tax officer? Huh! You are here to grab it!"


    "As I said, we are acting in ordance with the rules and regtions." The man was still extremely arrogant, "You have such a big spaceship, you should pay... 1 million credit points of tax, pay it as soon as possible.!"


    On the other side, Obi-Wan Kenobi stood up suddenly and was about to rush to 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 Gctic Republic are not like this."


    "I understand, please wait a moment." Clement also had a serious face, and she stood up and walked towards thebatmand center.


    "Master, it''s obvious that they are pirates! We can''t just sit idly by like this!" After Clement walked away, Obi-Wan whispered to Qui-Gon.


    "We are guests. In this case, we should wait for the master''s decision." Qui-Gon shook his head lightly.


    "I understand the truth, but this..."


    "Calm down, Obi-Wan, whatever happens, we can handle it."


    "Yes, master."


    At themand center, Qi Jian gave an order, "Notify the whole ship to enter thebat state! Everyone returns to work, and the fighter pilots enter the fighter ne to wait for instructions! The interster mining farm stops working!"


    The rm sounded immediately inside the mothership, and the staff who were taking turns came out of the dormitory one after another and ran to their respective posts.


    "Sir! Three spaceships are heading towards the interster mining station on the gaseous! The length of the spaceships ranges from 30 to 50 meters, and they belong to the ss of light frigates!" The radar soldier turned his head and said loudly.


    "Issue an ultimatum to the other party, asking them to stop advancing! Otherwise, we will resort to force!" Qi Jian said firmly.


    Clement was a little worried, "We only have some de fighters now, and thebat capability of this fighter..."


    "Even if there is only one dagger left in my hand, I will fight to the end!" Qi Jian''s eyes seemed to be burning with mes.
