The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2188. Forgotten Project

At this time, the holographic projection of Saratan Moss, the Minister of Military Intelligence, appeared. The Salarian intelligence chief said: "Your Majesty, I have preliminary collected information about the Rafa galaxy. There are a total of eleven planets there. There are ancient ruins all over, and the Galactic Empire also has a research station, which is very difficult to carry out intelligence work in the Rafa System.”

"I'm not here to listen to you complain about the difficulty, Saratan Moss." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Assemble your strength immediately to collect intelligence on the Rafa Galaxy!"

Saratan Moss said in a deep voice: "I want to say that if we launch operations in the Rafah galaxy, we will undoubtedly provoke the Galactic Empire and may cause a larger conflict."

"Then provoke them. It's not impossible to draw the attention of the Galaxy Empire to the eastern border of the Galaxy. You know what to do." Tang Xiao said.

"As you command..." Saratan Moss's holographic projection gradually disappeared.

…

The next day, Lafa galaxy, planet No. 7.

In a research station established by the Galactic Empire, several archaeologists are busy. A huge and strange energy burst erupted in the Rafa galaxy about a hundred years ago. At that time, the burst was even detected by Coruscant's energy detection system and alerted the Jedi Order.

Master Yoda, the leader of the Jedi Order at the time, immediately ordered and sent an investigation team to explore. And the Galactic Republic also sent a scientific expedition team.

Because before this energy explosion, the Lafa galaxy had always been considered a primitive galaxy. The environment of this galaxy is not good. Only the fourth and fifth planets have barely viable atmospheres, and there is a primitive species called Toka living on the fifth planet.

When the Toka people were discovered, they were basically still in the Upper Paleolithic Age. Moreover, sociologists of the Galactic Republic believe that based on the resources in the Rafa galaxy, it is unlikely that this civilization will evolve into the interstellar age.

It is unprofitable, so naturally no one will pay attention to it. The Lafa Galaxy, like countless other galaxies in the Milky Way, was numbered and then left in the star map, never to be visited again.

But that burst of energy allowed the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order to discover something new.

Among the eleven planets in the Rafah galaxy, large-scale civilization ruins have been discovered on all of them! Moreover, the material of these ruins buildings is actually made of a material similar to plastic, so it does not respond to almost all scanners.

This aroused great interest from the authorities of the Galactic Republic. They increased their investment and established scientific research stations on each planet to study these ancient ruins. At the same time, they are also studying the primitive race of Toka people.

Then, they also discovered the ancient race called Saru, and began further research. This study lasted three generations and a hundred years.

Over the past hundred years, their funding has been cut again and again, and in the end no one paid attention to the department. In the end, it was backlogged among hundreds of millions of various projects in the Galactic Republic, and it became a project that no one knew about when asked, but every year But there will still be a small fixed expenditure item.

Dr. Yaco Vesti is the current director of this project. At the moment, he is discussing with several other older scholars some words in the Saru language that they have deciphered.

If anything, their lives are actually quite nourishing. The Galactic Republic, and now the Galactic Empire, allocate some money from scientific research funds to their projects every year to support the operation of their projects. And in fact, with the destruction of the Jedi Order, no one has asked about their project, and the money actually spent on this project is not much. The Imperial Treasury can't check the bad debts inherited from the Galactic Republic. onto their heads.

The only thing that may not be good is that after entering this project, you will have to live in this harsh environment for many years, and the subsidies are actually very small. But for those scholars who truly love this cause and the ancient civilization of the Saru people, this is not a problem at all.

"...Actually, I think this word should be pronounced with a 'he' sound, and when pronouncing it, if you add a vibrato in the throat, it should express the opposite meaning." Dr. Yaco-Vesti said.

"I actually agree with you on the pronunciation aspect, but I think the trill suffix should be a plural form." Another doctor said.

"Gentlemen, compared to the meaning of words, I have a new discovery." A geneticist came in and said, "I compared more than 70 different pronunciation methods of the ancient Salu people, 21 of which require unique It can only be produced by the vocal organs. For example, the 'he' sound word we just discussed has a vibrato that our human vocal organs cannot produce. "

"There's no doubt about it," Dr. Yakko said.

"But here's the interesting thing. The Toka people, well, they are the primitive tribes of Planet 5, but their vocal organs can just produce all these syllables." said the geneticist.

"Wait a minute, you're saying... the Toka people may be distant relatives of the Salu people?" Dr. Yako was surprised.

"I think it may be a little more extreme - the Toka people are the degenerates of the Salu people." The geneticist said, "If this is the case, then it can explain why we have not been able to find the genes of the Salu people until now. There are no samples, not even fossils, because these things have been in front of us since the beginning!”

Dr. Yako stood up suddenly and said loudly: "This is so critical! This is so critical! I think this can solve many problems we have been encountering!! Quickly, call everyone together for a meeting! Next In a few years, we will live in the research base on Planet 5!”

Another scholar said with some reluctance: "There is nothing to study on Planet 5...and those Toka people like to urinate and defecate near our research institute, and the research institute stinks all day long when they are there. "

"According to our budget, this kind of inter-galactic relocation operation can only be carried out once every two years. And we just moved from Planet 11 half a year ago... Do we need to apply for more funds from the Galactic Empire?" A paleontologist next to him Jia said.

Dr. Yaco said quickly: "Don't apply for funding! The Galactic Empire doesn't know about our project at all now. It only muddles through the funding every year because it inherited the policies of the Galactic Republic. If we apply now, we will wait until the Imperial Finance If those people at the ministry check it, I’m afraid our entire project will be ruined!”

The geneticist said: "We can still save this money in the next year if we live frugally. This is a major discovery! At worst, I will go to Planet 5 and I will clean the toilet for you!"

Just as they were discussing happily about their new discoveries, suddenly a gloomy voice came from the air, "It doesn't matter, Planet No. 5, I will take you there."

"Who!" Dr. Yako stood up very alertly, but the next second he was pushed back to his seat by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, an electric current flashed through the air, and three people wearing black tights appeared in front of them! (End of chapter)
