(hello everyone, first of all I warn you that the updates will be irregular and I admit that I'm writing this a little bit on the fly, also if you find mistakes in the writing, it's because my English is very bad and I use the translator, although I check the text after I usually miss some things)
(ch2) getting ready
On the bridge of a spaceship a meeting was taking place that would determine the future of the galaxy, although this is still unknown.
"Athena what have we got?" I asked my AI, the ODSTs had just returned, and apart from some debris, a rather mummified corpse that was clearly not human and some equipment, we didn't have much.
"Sir, according to the analysis, the remains, were part of some sort of fighter, I was able to form an approximate image of it" The AI commented as it showed the shape of a fighter that I quickly recognized as the Z95, a fighter that I knew was quite common and for a jedi to be carrying it would not be unusual if he was doing some important task.
"Although our technology is very different I still managed to get some data, mainly a map of your galaxy" On the screen began to show the galactic map and the millions of worlds that made it up and also marked 3 areas, basically the galactic core, the intermediate area and the outer edge. "We also know that most of the galaxy is governed by the republic, which is a federation, with a rather open type of government and is quite corrupt" He said while marking in red a large area of the map. "Other than that there are several warlords and the Hutt, which are quite ugly" He said while marking other areas in green.
"The territory of the republic is huge, simply in resources they would crush even the covenant" Sarah looked quite surprised, normal, the unsc only had 800 worlds and the covenant was thought to have several thousand, but the republic had millions, although their control was not very strong, simply the scale impresses.
"I forgot to mention, the most common species is human, which dominates most core systems, although the variety of species is quite large, not to mention that the population is in the trillions" added Athena.
The situation itself did not seem optimistic, although I have a giant ship full of loyal people, in the end it is still a ship with obsolete technology that even a light freighter could beat, but in the galaxy there is no shortage of opportunities if you know where to look.
"I understand, I want the engineers to reverse engineer this technology as soon as possible, or at least find the basic principles, also set a course to the asteroid belt we must repair the ship".
"Yes, sir" replied the AI and Sarah, after that I went to my quarters to rest.
(1 month later)
A month has passed since I arrived, I don't know the current galactic date, but luckily the republic is still standing and as far as I know not even Valorum, the one who was chancellor in episode 1 has come to office which gives me time to prepare myself.
At the same time, during this month a couple of things happened, first the ship was repaired in its entirety, including the space engine, which was not as damaged as it seemed, we also mapped the system, which as far as we know from the map found in the fighter is just at the edge of the unknown regions and it is an unknown system.
I named the solar system Novus
It has 6 planets and 2 asteroid belts.
There are 3 rocky planets, 2 with about 3 times the mass of the earth each and the third was the jungle planet that we arrived at, its mass is similar to that of the earth, and with a bit of irony I named it Harvest.
1 of the gas planets was similar to Jupiter in size and composition and the other two were somewhat larger.
Analysis of the fighter technology is still ongoing, but at least one of them has been discovered to work.
The blasters, or laser weapons, as I understand it, are called lasers or laser cannons because they use a laser to heat the Tibanna gas converting it into plasma which is then used as a weapon.
In itself is something similar to the plasma weapons of the covenant, it is only that after thousands of years of development, the power of each shot is much stronger, it is like comparing a battery of the early twentieth century with the current ones.
But part of this is due to the gas, which is a very used biofuel and we were very lucky when the probe we sent to New Jupiter (I know very original) found a high concentration of it and it is easily extractable.
After discovering how the blasters work, it is easy to build them because thanks to the stability of the gas it doesn't have many requirements, it's just that the first generation only has half the power of the original, but that's something.
But it is a pity that there is no data on turbolasers, which are much more advanced than the blasters.
Anyway, I decided to set the base in this system, which can hardly be detected and less if we use the hyperspace to move, it is much slower but it allows more flexibility to move.
An example would be that hyperspace is like going by car where you have to dodge a lot of things and the hyperspace is like flying, where you are free to go wherever you want, it's just that hyperspace is much faster.
For now they are still analyzing the wreckage, which was confirmed that it crashed due to a failure of the hyperspace engine, which did not brake in time and the fighter was ejected from hyperspace into the atmosphere, if it were not for the movements of the jedi probably would have become pure, but still that did not save him.
Hopefully in a while we will have more data, for now the priority is to copy the engines, and the reactor, even if they were much worse copies.
(11 months later)
"Captain, good news, the prototype is ready" Sarah said excitedly.
During the rest of the year we have managed to establish a simple base on the planet and several factories, nothing too fancy but you can already see several homemade transports, also heavy blasters were put into production, which were equipped in several bases as temporary anti-fighter measures, although the Spirit of Earth has not been touched yet.
While I was thinking about what happened during the year, Sarah took me to a small hangar, which I forgot to mention is on the planet, because although the ship is important it is still our ship with more cargo capacity and refinement, so it acts as a makeshift freighter and passing the command to the base was a logical decision.
At that moment a male voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Hello captain, you will be pleased to know that the X-01 has just passed the tests" Jeremy tells me who is the chief engineer of this project while he shows me a kind of modified pelican.
The X-01 is a ship made from the technology we could understand from the fighter, and some loose remains, for example, the key parts of the engines come from the wreckage while the rest we did as we could, the reactor is also patched and although it does not work even at 60% it still works.
"Well when will the Hyperdrive test be conducted" I asked, the Hyperdrive was also salvaged, well what was left of it, luckily the broken parts did not differ that much from the space technology, and patches could be made.
"Captain, the tests are scheduled for tomorrow night, we are currently debugging the systems, to avoid problems" After saying that he started flipping through the data on the computer.
As I said before, the ship was just a modified Pelican, which had a lot of patched remains, apart from the medium laser cannons on the wings and the .50 cal machine guns on the nose, along with the hull, the rest was assembled as we could.
I decided to start with this project, because no matter what we do it is impossible to get much more out of the wreckage and even if we did it would take years and I don't want to miss the best time to develop the technology.
The plan is simple, I will send this ship loaded with blaster weapons as merchandise to Tatooine, get some parts and if possible a connection to the Holonet and from there get the necessary plans.
If the objectives are achieved, things will speed up a lot and I will be able to start with phase 2 of my master plan.

( hello everyone, finally another chapter, I know my writing is not the best and I make many mistakes and I will appreciate any advice )
