Star Wars: The Holy Empire

Soon, I took control of the Defender.

The Defender lifts off the grounds and flies into the sky, and as the Defender was about to reach space, I activated [Force Travel] and I flew the Defender into the black portal, disappearing from Concorida Space.

A portal appears in the space near Naboo, and the Defender flies out of it.

"I am back" I said while staring at Naboo but I then soon took notice of there being more ships in Naboo space then usual.

There were 3 new Lucrehulk ships, which might be the Battleship or Cargo Freighter versions, and 20 TF Superfreighters in Naboo Space, and they were facing my 5 Lucrehulk Battleships that were guarding Naboo.

"Why is the Trade Federation here again." I said

I then quickly flew the Defender pass the Trade Federation ships, while passing them, the Trade Federation tried to hail me but I ignored them, so instead they sent a message.

"Unidentified Starship, stop where you are and go back to where you came from" said a Battle Droid "I repeat. Unidentified Starship, stop where you are and go back or we will force you to stop."

I ignored their threats and continued to flying by and down to Naboo to see what was going on down there.

Just as I was about to pass them by, the Trade Federation then launched 40 Vulture droid starfighters from their Hangar Bay to stop me from continuing to fly down.

--On one of my Lucrehulk --

"The Holy Emperor has returned" said OOM-911 "Open communications with our Emperor, so I can personally inform him of the situation down below."

"Sir...the enemy is launching starfighters...and they are heading towards our Emperor!!!" said a pilot droid

"WHAT!!!" shouted OOM-911 who then press a button on a console opening communication with the other 4 Lucrehulk Battleships "All Battleships, the enemy is aiming at our Emperor, launch all starfighters and protect him at all cost!!!"

--End--

In response to this action, I watch as my 5 Lucrehulk Battleships started launching waves and waves of Vulture Droid Starfighters.

--Trade Federation POV--

"Captain, the enemy is launching all of their starfighters." said a OOM Battle Droid "What are your orders?"

"What the hell are they doing?" said the Neimoidian Captain while staring out at the enemy Vulture starfighters appearing in waves.

"Should we continue after and attack the Unidentified Starship or should I give the order for our starfighters to return to the hangar bay?"

"Have them return." sighed the Neimoidian Captain

"But sure, we outnumber them." said another OOM Battle Droid "We can take them down with some sacrifices."

"You dumb droid! We may outnumber them with our two Battleships and 20 Superfreighters but they have 6 Battleships and over 9,000 Vulture Starfighters on board them. We are outgunned and no match for them."

The OOM droids to the window and starts counting while point at the ships

"1...2...3...4...5" said the OOM Battle Droid" But sir, I only count 5 Battleships, sir"

"That's the problem, you dumb droid. We don't know if they are hiding that last Battleship so they can sneak up behind us for a surprise attack or if it went off somewhere." said the Neimoidian Captain "The smart move right now is to be patient and not to attack because we will definitely lose, and I don't want to die and losing all of our ships will be a waste of money."

"Roger, roger" said the OOM Battle Droids

--Trade Federation POV End--

Soon, the 40 Trade Federation Vulture Starfighters retreated, while 7,500 of my own Vulture Starfighters started escorting me down to the planet.

Once I was in Naboo's atmosphere, the Vulture Starfighters stopped escorting me and went back to the ships.

After 5 minutes, I was able to land in the Theed Hangar, and I swiftly headed out of the ships, down the Defenders and into the hangar, where Captain Panaka was waiting for me with a few guards and a worried look.

"What is going on?" I asked him once I was off the Defender's ramp.

"A Representative of the Trade Federation is here to get back their property." replied Captain Panaka "The Queen has been stalling them for a couple of days while waiting for your return so you can handle this matter since she said that the ships and droids are now your property, and she won't comply with their demands."

"I see, now I know why there are so many Trade Federation ships in space." I asked "Whose authority is he representing?"

"He is here on the behalf of the Duceroy, the second-in-command of the Trade Federation." said Captain Panaka

"I am pretty sure that the Viceroy didn't give permission for this." I said

"You are right about that." said Captain Panaka "From what I know and the intel I could gather on short notice, the Duceroy and the Viceroy are part of different parties, and I believe the Duceroy might be trying to upstage the Viceroy and hopefully impeach him and become Viceroy himself."

"I see, I see." I said while rubbing the chin of my mask. "Let's go. "Take me to our unwanted guest."

"He is in the Throne Room, he is trying to force the Queen to give everything back to them." said Captain Panaka "It's a good thing that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is with her. He is trying to delegate and ease the situation as we speak."

"Palpatine is still here?" I asked

"Yes, he is." said Captain Panaka "When he heard about the Neimoidian Representative coming, he decided to stay and help the Queen. He is such a great guy, staying on Naboo to help his home planet."

"Let's hurry, please lead the way." I said

We quickly walk out of the Theed Hangar and rushed off to the Throne Room.

A few minutes later, we were about to enter the Throne Room when I had us stopped outside the Throne Room so I could hear what was going on and see how Padme was handling herself. I then heard someone talking in an angry voice.

"Queen Amidala, you have kept me waiting for a full day now!" said the Neimoidian Representative "You better give us back our property or their will be dire consequences for stealing our property!"

"Stealing your property? I did no such thing." said Padme "We also have no stolen property."

"Yes, you do! You have our ships in your space guarding your planets and our droids on your planets patrolling and doing reconstruction work!" said the Neimoidian Representative "Now, give us back our stolen property, or we will take this up in court."

"Queen Amidala, why don't we try and make a compromise. How about this we will give them back some of their property and they will forgive all of Naboo's Debts and even pay for the damages inflicted by them with interest added and in the future they will give Naboo a permanent discount on things bought through them." said Supreme Chancellor Palpatine "Though we will have to hold onto the Battleships since they have been illegally modified."

"I will not compromise with the people who illegally blockaded and invaded my planet." said Padme

"Our blockade was perfectly legal, you were late behind your payments so we decided to take action and set up a blockade you until you paid us back and so you wouldn't run away from your debt." said the Neimoidian Representative

"You might try and make the blockade sound legal through your twisted words but sending troops down to our planet, invading our cities, and rounding up our people into camps is an act of war. These actions are illegal according to the laws of the Republic, there is no way for you twist these actions as legal." said Padme

"The Viceroy probably sent his troops down because he was probably afraid of you running away from the debt you owe us, so he probably had no choice but to send down troops to keep an eye of you." said the Neimoidian Representative "I will ask nicely only one more time, little girl. Return our property or I will make you suffer the consequences of your actions."

"I am sure the Supreme Senate Court will see things differently especially with you threatening me and my people now." said Padme "With all of the evidence gathers and this conversation being recorded as more evidence, I am pretty sure that the Courts will announce a guilty verdict on Viceroy Gunray and the Trade Federation's War Crimes. Soon you and your Trade Federation will be singing a different tone and once you are found guilty, your Trade Federation will suffer the consequences and our debt will be no more because of your crimes against Naboo, so you better watch how you behave in front of me and the Supreme Chancellor or you will suffer even more consequences for your actions."

"Don't get ahead of yourself you stupid little girl." said the Neimoidian Representative angrily "The Trade Federation committed no war crimes against Naboo, everything that had happen on Naboo is not the fault of the the Trade Federation because Viceroy Gunray acted separately from the Trade Federation, so the Federation committed no crimes against Naboo, and if there is a guilty party, it is all on Viceroy Gunray."
