The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

709. Dead Soldiers (Part 1)

22BBY, September.

A hunter-class battlecruiser is sailing in space, but unlike the hunter-class battlecruisers that can be seen in other places, this battleship can be said to be tattered.

The countless scars and even gaps on the body have witnessed countless battles, and even because of too many repairs, the unique red and white paint of the Republic on this battleship has become mottled, and in order to deceive people, The gear-shaped emblem of the Republic has also been erased.

On the bridge of the battleship, two Jedi knights in brown coarse robes were standing there quietly. However, if another Jedi Knight was on the scene, he would immediately notice that the combination of the middle-aged man and young girl in front of him exuded the aura of the dark side force.

A combat staff officer came over, stood at attention and saluted the two Jedi Knights: "General Shen-Jon, we have arrived at the planet Kessel (Kessel). It's just... this planet is a prison planet, and it has already arrived. We’ve been disconnected from the Republic for several years, what are we doing here? There won’t be any supplies we want here either.”

Shen-Jon raised his head slightly, revealing the vicissitudes of the chin covered under the hood, the stubble of different lengths was messy like weeds, and looked very dirty. He focused on the irregularly shaped planet with a maximum diameter of about 7,900 kilometers projected on the hologram, and his expression was slightly loose.

He let out a foul 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 Forge, he He's 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." The young Jedi apprentice asked.

"This is normal, Nat Reese." Shen Jon said: "There was a riot three years ago on the planet Kosher, and the prisoners held there killed almost all the prison officials, and then became independent. Now, these prisoners are relying on the planet Kessel to engage in spice smuggling activities. In recent years, their business has become bigger and bigger. I heard that they have also received support from the Hutts. So, we should be able to get supplies from there, of course. This is illegal. 【Note 1】”

"So, where's Casal Fogg... er, teacher?" Nat Reese asked.

"Before the Kessel prison riot, Casal Fogg was the initiator of a prisoner re-education program in the Galactic Republic. He personally went to the planet Kessel to teach the prisoners to read and write. It can be said that the hell on earth before the riot Inside, Casal Fogg was the only ray of light. So after the riot, although all the officials were killed, the prisoners did not touch him, but continued to hire him as a teacher. I knew him before, and this time he should He will help me." Shen Qiaoen said.

Nat Reese nodded without speaking.

Shen Jon and Nat Reiss landed in a spaceport in Kessendra (Kessendra), the capital of the planet Keschel, on a shuttle. When they stepped out of the spaceship, most of the things they could see along the way were their faces. Fierce, racially diverse people. Most of these people have tattoos on their bodies, and they are basically fully armed, but most of them are old-fashioned blaster rifles before the Galactic Republic.

Walking on the road, suddenly a Falin woman with a large sniper rifle on her back bumped into her intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Qiaoen avoided him in advance, but this Falin woman still took advantage of the situation to stagger and walk away. Come over and curse, "You two outsiders, be careful of me..."

"Take me to see Casal Fogg." Shen-Jon waved his hand and said lightly.

The Falin woman was instantly controlled by the force, and she said dully: "Okay, I will take you to see Casal Fogg."

She took Shen-Jon all the way to a small office building. This office building still retains the style of the Galactic Republic, but now it is a bit out of place with this world occupied by prisoners.

Inside the office building, they saw a very gentle-looking middle-aged man wearing glasses. This man is at least two meters tall, but he is not strong. This height makes him a little thin.

"Long time no see, Master Shen." The middle-aged man is the Kasar Fogg mentioned by Shen Qiaoen. "I don't know why you came to the planet Kessel?"

"Revenge." Shen-Jon said lightly, "I have a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in my hand, and I need supplies."

"Revenge?" Casal Fogg frowned.

Shen-Jon replied: "A separatist general named Severance Tann attacked the core world of the Republic and killed my apprentice, Stam Reese."

"My brother too." Nat Reese added from the sidelines.

"Then it should be a matter of course for you to hunt down this separatist general, right? Why do you have to get involved with revenge and go to the planet Keschel to replenish?" Casal Fogg asked with some doubts .

"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-Jon replied.

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 without a battleship. But...it will cost a lot of money."

"Now I still have about 50,000 Republic credits in my hand." Shen Qiaoen said.

"First, the money is not enough. Second, Hutt Space does not accept credit points. The common currency here is Upi Upi Coin." Casal Fogg sighed. He is just a teacher, and there is nothing he can do to help.

"Is there a way to get money?" Shen Qiaoen asked.

Casal-Fogg pondered for a while, and said: "I heard some rumors before. It seems that an army of the Republic suffered a defeat on the planet Mimban (Mimban) and was almost wiped out. I think, maybe you can go there to find Some valuable things, if you can find supplies, then you don’t need to come to Planet Keschel, after all, it’s not peaceful here.”

Shen-Jon nodded, pushed another memory and said, "Help me find out about this person, Yap, an energetics engineer of the Republic, who later betrayed Separatism, and he is developing a secret for Separatism arms."
