709,Dead Soldier(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 its body have witnessed countless battles. Even due to too many repairs, the Republic's unique red and white standard paint on this battleship has become mottled. In order to conceal it from others, The gear-like symbol 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 Knight were at the scene, they would immediately notice the combination of a middle-aged man and a young girl in front of them. , all exuding the aura of the dark side.
A combat staff officer came over, stood at attention and saluted, and then said to the two Jedi Knights: "General Shen Qiaoen, we have arrived at the planet Kessel. It's just that... this planet is a prison planet, and it has already We have been disconnected from the Republic for several years, what are we doing here? There are no supplies we want here."
Shen Qiaoen raised his head slightly, revealing the chin covered with vicissitudes of life under the hood, and the stubble of varying lengths like weeds, which looked very dirty. He paid attention to the hologram. The planet projected above has a maximum diameter of about 7,900 kilometers and an irregular shape, with a slightly loose expression.
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 person named Kassar Fogg. He is a teacher and should be able to help us get the supplies we need."
"Teacher? Prison? 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 getting bigger and bigger 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... uh, 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 before the riots, that hell on earth Inside, 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 ask him to be a teacher. I met him before, and this time he should He will help me." Shen Qiaoen said.
Nat Reese nodded and said nothing.
Jon Shen took Nat Reese on a shuttle and landed at a spaceport in Kessendra, the capital of the planet Keshel. When they stepped out of the spaceship, most of what they could see along the way were faces. Fierce people of different races. Most of these people have tattoos on their bodies and are basically fully armed. Most of them are 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 calmly.
The Falin woman was instantly controlled by the force. She said a little dullly: "Okay, I will take you to see Casal Fogg right now."
She took Shen Qiaoen 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. The man was at least two meters tall, but he was not strong. This height made him a little thin.
"Long time no see, Master Shen." The middle-aged man is Cassar Fogg mentioned by Jon Shen. "I wonder why you came to the planet Keshel?"
"Revenge." Shen Qiaoen said calmly, "I have a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in my hand, and I need supplies."
"Revenge?" Casal Fogg frowned.
Jon Shen replied: "A separatist general named Severance Tann attacked the core world of the Republic and killed my apprentice, Stam Reese."
"Also my brother." Nat Reese added on 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 Qiaoen answered.
Casal 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 requires a lot of money."
"I should still have around 50,000 Republic credits in my hand now," Shen Qiaoen said.
"First, the money is not enough. Second, the Hutt space does not accept credits. The common currency here is Upi Upi coins." Casal Fogg sighed. He was just a teacher and was also helpless.
"Is there any way I can get money?" Shen-Qiaoen asked.
Casal-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 go there and find If you can find supplies for some valuable things, you don’t need to come to the planet Keshel. After all, it’s not peaceful here.”
Shen Qiaoen nodded, pushed another memory and said: "Help me find out about this person, Yap, who was an energetic engineer of the Republic. He later betrayed the Separatists. He is developing a secret for the Separatists. arms."
