Chapter 5 Punishment
When the delegation returned to the surface of the planet, three men in red tunics were waiting for them, along with a serviceable hyperdrive.
"By order of Primarch Alpharius, we have delivered this mechanism for interstellar travel and are ready to install it on your ship.
"What are you waiting for?" captain Panaka asked.
Within an hour, everything was ready for takeoff, and when the tech-priests left the ship and the ramp was closed, the engines activated and the ship began to climb. When the ship left the planet, they were met by the Imperial cruiser "Lambda".
Says the captain, Aution ADJ, we are ready to go with you to your capital world.
"All right, forward the coordinates to Coruscant, follow our course, and we'll arrive at our destination without incident."
When the Naboo ship entered hyperspace. The cruiser opened a warp portal and flew through it. The cruiser came out of the warp a few hours after the Naboo ship arrived. Through 15 minutes from him flew Shuttle, and three fighters which constituted his escort. When all the ships had landed on the landing pad, a Senate delegation was waiting for them.
"Queen Amidala, welcome to Coruscant.
"There is no time for ceremony now, Senator Palpatine. I must address the Senate at once.
"Of course, but let me ask. Who are our guests?
"Our guests, as you put it, have just dispatched a fleet to wrest Naboo from the clutches of the Trade Federation and free our people.
"That's great news!" I think the Senate will be happy to hear it.
At that moment, one of the giants approached the Jedi.
I am the captain of Abutilon ADJ. I need to see your Jedi Council as soon as possible.
"Of course, captain, we'll take you to them."
After bidding farewell to Queen amidaloy And the others, qui gon, Obi-WAN, Anakin, and captain Autilon, along with two bodyguards, went to the Jedi Temple. When they entered the Temple, all eyes of those present were directed at the unusual guests. When qui-gon reached the entrance to the Council chamber, he asked the space Marines to wait, and he and Anakin and Obi-WAN went inside.
"Hello qui-gon, I wish you could have accomplished your mission." Master Yoda said.
"That's true, but I came for a different reason. I found the Chosen one.
"Are you absolutely sure?" master Ki-ADI-Mundi asked.
"Masters, the boy is the focus of a great power. Let me train him.
"But you already have a Padawan." master Windu said.
"I am ready to pass the test of knighthood." Obi-WAN replied
The Council members looked at qui-Gon again.
"Well, so be it. master Yoda said.
When Obi-WAN and Anakin left the hall. Qui-gon addressed the Council.
"Masters, there is another matter that requires your attention.
He went to the door and called to someone. And the next moment the hall became a giant in the turquoise armor.
"Greetings, masters, I am captain Autilon Scorr, also Consul-delegate of the alpha Legion, XX Legion of the space Marines of the immortal Emperor.
The Council members were stunned at the sight of this warrior. Master Yoda spoke first.
"So what brings you here?"
"A few months ago, we detected a surge of energy emanating from yours. My Legion was sent to investigate and neutralize the source of this energy surge.
"And you need our help to figure out what that energy is."
"That's right, masters.
"Well, we can give you access to our archives. Windu replied.
"Thank you, that will be more than enough."
When captain seceded from the Room. Master Yoda spoke:
"That's when the dark side of the Force began to thicken.
"Do you think these phenomena are connected?" Ki-ADI-Mundi asked.
"I don't think so.
At the same time behind the doors of the hall:
"Brothers, you will be given access to the local archives, Copy all possible information and send it to the cruiser with instructions to transmit all data to the Primarch.
"What will you do, brother-captain?"
"It's time to appear before this Senate."
POV Primarch Omegon.
For several days the fleet had been in the Naboo system, scouting. Having studied the order of battle and the number of enemy forces in orbit and on the surface of the planet, the alpha Legion was ready to attack.
"My Lord, our ships are in battle formation, ready to attack.
"All right, Nova Fire on the nearest cluster of enemy ships.
A volley of Nova Guns destroyed 6 Trade Federation ships. The Imperium ships opened fire with wolfite macro-cannons and lance-emitters, which tore the Federation ships to shreds. The trade Federation did not even have time to respond to such a well-planned attack. The battle in space was over in just a few minutes.
- Superbly. They didn't stand a chance. To all ships, to begin landing, to take control of all settlements, to take prisoner occupation administration, to release local population from enemy captivity. The occupiers will answer for their crimes.
Thanks to the destruction of the Central computer, the droid armies were shut down and control of the planet was taken within hours. When the space Marines burst into the Palace, droids were lying around, disabled. And in the throne room was Nute Gunray, along with his henchmen.
"You are under arrest in the name of the immortal Emperor, you miserable xenos.
- How dare you, I'm Viceroy of the Trade Federation I'll complain to the Senate…
Before the Viceroy could finish, he was slapped in the face with the butt of his rifle.
POV Padme Amidala.
Two and a half years passed. In Senator Palpatine's office, she waited for news from Naboo. The last reports were that an unknown fleet had destroyed the Trade Federation blockade. The Communicator received a call. The Governor of Naboo, SIO Bibble, stood before her:
"Your Majesty, I'm glad you made it safely to Coruscant." And the people of Naboo thank you for the help you have found.
"Is the Trade Federation banished from the planet?"
"She wasn't just banished, their fleet was defeated in a matter of minutes. And the Viceroy was taken prisoner by our saviors. In a matter of hours, they had the entire planet under control. I confess honestly, I never saw such forces.
"Governor, I have given assurances to our saviors that at the end of the occupation, a vote will be held on Naboo to join their state entity. That's the only way they agreed to help us.
"I will see that the vote is carried out without fraud, and I hope that Naboo will remain a member of the Republic."
"I'm counting on you, Governor, and now I have to address the Senate."
"See you soon, your Majesty."
A few minutes later, one of the maids entered, followed by the space marine. Together they went to the Senate Chamber. When the Meeting began and Queen Amidala brought charges against the Trade Federation. This caused exclamations of indignation, someone supported Naboo, someone the Trade Federation.
"I protest! You have no proof! This is outrageous! We propose to send a Commission to the planet Naboo to confirm these allegations.
"Then let our guest present his evidence."
"I am captain Autilon Scorr, also Consul-delegate of the alpha Legion, XX Legion of the space Marines of the immortal Emperor. It was my brothers who freed Naboo and captured the Viceroy of the Trade Federation. During interrogation, he confessed that all the actions were committed on the orders of a certain Darth Sidious, a member of the so-called order of the Sith.
These words came as a shock to members of the Senate.
"You have no proof!" Lott DoD shouted.
"Senator, your ruler's words are more than enough to convict.
Chancellor Valorum said, " an investigation is necessary To examine Nuth Gunray's testimony." We can't blame anyone for nothing.
At that moment Queen Amidala took the floor:
"As we have all seen here, the Chancellor turns a blind eye even to irrefutable evidence and is prepared to release the culprit. How can we trust someone whose government is inactive at this crisis moment for the Republic. Therefore, I pass a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum.
There were shouts of approval for his resignation throughout the room, and the Chancellor himself walked away from the podium in confusion. In the next few hours the Senate voted for the resignation of Valorum and the election of a new Chancellor, who was the Senator from Naboo, Palpatine Shiv.
