The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 25 Pirates
24. Pirates

Meanwhile, the Endor galaxy.

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 compartment has been converted into a laser turret, which has brought the armament of these cargo ships to a very strong level.

"Endor Galaxy, take a turn around here. See if there is anything unusual." 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 too difficult." Another person answered.

"Isn't it? I've searched all over the Model Sector. I might as well go to the outer ring for a vote if I have time!"

"Don't say it, the money given by Master Dooku is enough for us to have a good time after returning to Seleno, and work hard!"

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

"There are actually people in the Endor Galaxy, a place where birds don't shit? Ha! Maybe business is coming! Let's go and see!"

……

Qui-Gon-Jin took a small sip from the teacup, and the fragrance of black tea filled his mouth, making people feel relaxed and happy.He couldn't help but take a deep breath, reminiscing about the fragrance.

"Are you used to drinking this kind of black tea? Master Qui-Gon." Daphne Clement sat across from Qui-Gon and said with a smile.

"I've never had a drink like this...well, I can't say it's delicious, I should say, a drink that makes people feel comfortable." Qui-Gon-Jin replied with a nod.

"How do you feel about the inspection of our fourth group's colonies these days?" Clement continued to ask.

"There's really nothing to be suspicious of, except... the large mining farm you set up on the fourth satellite, are you planning to develop industry here?" Qui-Gon asked rhetorically.

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

"Those who can build spaceships are large conglomerates." Qui-Gon-Jin stood up, looked at the small interstellar dock under construction through the spacious porthole of the mothership, and turned back and asked, "Then why did I never Haven't heard of the Fourth Group?"

"Our group has just been established, so a lot of things are just getting started."

"I remember, on the planet Endor, there are native species, right?" Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had not spoken, suddenly asked, "Well, you have changed the name of the planet to Dawn. But this change You must report to the relevant department of the Republic."

"That's right, the Ewoks. We get along very well with them and have started teaching some Ewoks to help us build houses and stuff like that. After we've fully mastered their language, we'll move on gradually. For the education work of the Ewoks, try to let them enter the civilized society as soon as possible." Clement's answer was exact, "In addition, there are other intelligent species such as Durocs on the planet Dawn, but they are too aggressive. Preliminary exploratory contacts are still in progress."

"Well, I hope so. Genocide due to colonial expansion is strictly forbidden in the Galactic Republic," Obi-Wan said.

"It's natural. We have special staff in Coruscant to handle this." Clement replied with a smile, but his heart kept beating.

Office staff, there is a fart!Even the term Coruscant was only heard a few days ago from Felasi, who was held here as a hostage.

"Then your leader, Tang Xiao. Has he been in touch yet?" Qui-Gon-Jin asked.

There was a worried look on Clement's face, "Not yet, he should have been in the hyperspace channel. I don't know where he went. According to the plan, he should go to the planet Tatooine to see See if there are any channels to sell products.”

"What kind of person is Tang Xiao?"

Clement smiled. "He's visionary, approachable, and fearless. He's still young, but he's growing into a great leader."

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

"Having such a magnificent mothership at a young age and starting a planetary colonization plan, then this Tang Xiao can deserve such praise." Kui Gang-Jin laughed.

"I thank our managers for your affirmation." Clement stood up very solemnly and bowed to the two of them.

[Notice, there is a communication cut in. 】The voice of the master came suddenly.

"Come here." Qi Jian, the chief of staff working in the other side of the staff, said immediately.

Then a very arrogant face appeared on the big screen of the bridge, "Where did your big ship come from? You have come to the planet of Endor to mine without authorization, do you have a license? We are the tax officers of the Galactic Republic, come to investigate Your tax situation. If you are sensible, hand over the tax to us, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

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

"I said, we are acting in accordance with the rules and regulations." The man was still very arrogant, "You are such a big spaceship, you should hand in the tax... 100 million credit points, pay it as soon as possible."

On the other side, Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly stood up 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 collector of the Galactic Republic is not like that."

"I understand, please wait a moment." Clement also looked serious, she stood up and walked towards the combat command center.

"Master, it's obviously a pirate! We can't just sit back and watch!" Obi-Wan whispered to Qui-Gon after Clement was far away.

"We are guests, in this case, we should wait for the master's decision." Kui Gang shook his head gently.

"I understand that, but this..."

"Calm down, Obi-Wan, no matter what happens, we're capable of handling it."

"Yes, Master."

At the command center, Qi Jian gave an order, "Notify the whole ship to enter a combat state! Everyone returns to work, and the fighter pilots enter the fighter plane and wait for the order! The interstellar mining field stops working!"

An alarm sounded immediately inside the mothership, and the staff who were on vacation came out of the dormitory one after another and ran to their respective posts.

"Sir! There are three spaceships heading for the interstellar mining station on the gaseous planet! The spaceships range from 30 to 50 meters in length, and they belong to the light frigate class!" The radar soldier turned back and said loudly.

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

Clement was a little worried, "We only have some blade fighters now, and the combat capabilities 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 ignite a flame.
