Almost two months they flew. All this time, Alpharius was pondering what would await them in the new Galaxy. But he could not even imagine what he was going to face when he came out of the Webway.
Why, you may ask is that. The answer is simple, and it will be getting clear very soon.
"My lord, we are leaving the portal."
"At last! Captain Dinat, as soon as we enter real space, order the entire fleet to establish a blockade of the star system and transfer it to Captain Peck so that he begins the landing of our forces on the planetoid. It is required to gain a foothold on it as soon as possible", the now named Captain Dinat executed.
"Father will be pleased", said Alpharius - the real one - after seeing the redish-brown planetoid in front of him that made him thing of the Crimsom King. Upon landing he found out it was because the planet was of the desert variety of all things.
Don't get him wrong ALpharius knew that there were a lot of desert planets, as well as aquatic and jungle planets among many others in a galaxy and the chances of running into one were higher than expected, but still to reach a desert planet after getting out of the Webway, different Galaxy or not the chances were very slim.
Oh well, time to try the new translation chips and take over the plane, and how convenient there is a palace so close by.
Sitting in his castle and enjoying the graceful dances of the Twi'leks Jabba the Hutt felt like the ruler of the whole of Tatooine. Suddenly explosions began to rattle around, and after that, giants in turquoise armor burst right into the hall where he was. He did not have time to say one word, as in a split minute all his bodyguards were dead. And he was left alone with these monsters.
"I beg you, do not shoot! I can make you rich! Do you need money? Everyone needs money!" To think that Jabba would have to result to begging and being scared... Such a day was rarer than Tatooine's Blue Moons.
One of the giants noticed how Jabba reached for his portable shield and released half of the clip into it. So the Alpha Legion Intercession squad put an end to one of the criminal leaders in this galaxy. The first, but not the last.
In less than three hours, the planet was taken under control, and all the ships in the system were boarded and forced to land on the surface of Tatooine. Many ships had slaves who were freed, and their former masters were shot.
"Captain Peck, report."
"My lord, despite the local centers of resistance, we managed to take complete control over all settlements. The presence of Xenos and Humans was discovered..."
"HUMANS?"
"Yes sir. People and more than a few dozen species of xenos. Thanks to the translation devices of the Tech Priests, we were able to establish contact with them. They call this planet Tatooine and it is part of the so-called Galactic Republic, in which representatives of more than a thousand races of xenos live. All collected information will be transmitted to your flagship within an hour."
"Great, Captain, start building a long-term operational base."
"Yes sir. Captain Peck, end of communication."
People? Where do people come from in this galaxy?
The presence of people in this galaxy was a surprise for the expedition. Alpharius intended to solve this riddle, but not now. First, it was necessary to establish a connection with the Imperium.
"Archimagos Cole, unfortunately, there are minor adjustments in our plans."
"What adjustments, lord Primarch?"
"Along with the construction of new gates and defense systems, it is required to study local Mans and xenos. I want to know where they come from and how long ago they've been here"
"I have an assumption."
"What is your speculation?"
"With a probability of 37.49%, these are the descendants of people who came here during the Dark Era of Technology. In order to confirm or refute this statement, their full genetic analysis is required."
"Good. Anything else?"
"Yes. Let my subordinates analyze your captured ships and local technology samples."
"Permission granted. The better we understand them, the easier it will be to defeat the armies that they send against us."
For several hours, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Queen Padme Amidala, with their retinue and guards, flew to Coruscant in order to ask for help from the Galactic Senate in the liberation of Naboo. But it turned out that during the shelling by the military fleet of the Trade Federation, the ship had a damaged Hyperdrive.
"Your Majesty, I propose to find a planet and stop on it for the repair of the Hyperdrive."
"Is there really no other way. After all, the more we delay, the more my subjects die."
"We have little choice. Or try to fly to Coruscant, but we risk staying forever in a space void with a broken Hyperdrive. Or stay on some planet for a few days to repair it."
"Let it be your way. Captain Tanaka, Which world is closest to us?"
"Tatooine, your majesty. We can be there in a few hours", replied the captain
"I hope the repairations go quickly.'
As soon as the Naboo ship left Hyperspace. Pilots could not believe their eyes. Hundreds of huge ships flooded the once empty system.
"Pilots, what's going on?" Qui-Gon asked.
"They call us through an open communication channel. Open channel"
"Unidentified ship, you are in a confined space. Follow the fighters immediately and sit on the surface of the planet or you will be destroyed. "
"Well, let's not make them angry. Captain Tanaka prepare your men, I hope you don't have to shoot back, but we must be prepared for the worst. And as soon as we land I leave the ship I will start talking to them."
"I understand you, Jedi Master."
When the ship landed on the landing pad, giants in turquoise armor were already standing in front of it. Many on board were surprised not only by the size of these creatures, but also by how many dozens of other ships were on the surface of the planet. Qui-Gon was about to leave the ship, but Obi-Wan approached him.
"Master, I hope you know what to do?"
"Of course my young padawan."
"May the force be with you."
As soon as the Qui-Gon Jinn descended from the ship's ramp, one of the giants came out to meet him.
"Identity yourself mortal," demanded the giant.
"I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, Master of the Jedi Order."
"What brought you to this provincial world?"
"I performed a diplomatic mission, which was unsuccessful, and therefore flew to Coruscant, but the ship's hyperdrive was damaged."
"Who was damaged?"
"The ship was shelled by the fleet of the Trade Federation."
"My brothers must inspect this ship."
"Of course, please follow me."
For about an hour, the giants inspected the ship, which caused discontent among the crew. Queen Amidala was already beginning to lose her patience, but while maintaining her composure, she, using a system of secret signs, ordered Sabe, her maid, who had been dressed in Queen's clothes for security purposes as far back as Naboo, to ask one of the giants.
"Let me know who you are and by what right do you inspect my ship?"
"We are warriors of the 20th legion of the Immortal Emperor, and your ship is being examined as it has entered the outer space we control. But, we have already completed his inspection and are leaving. You have the right to move freely around the village, but you cannot fly away unless you get permission from our command. Have a good day."
As soon as the legionnaires left the ship, they contacted Captain Peck.
"Brother Captain, we examined the ship that had just arrived. One of the two robe clad men said he performed a diplomatic mission, but due to a breakdown, they had to fly into this star system."
"I understand you, follow their actions. If these are diplomats, the Primarch will want to know about this as soon as possible."
"You got it. End of communication."
Upholstered, looking after them the young padawan thought: "What kind of warriors are these?" And where did they come from? " But suddenly his teacher came up behind him.
"I am also surprised by these giants my student, but now I need to find a new Hyperdrive. The mechanics said it was impossible to restore the old one."
"But will they let us go?"
"The ways of the Force are mysterious. Why guess when you need to act", advised the wise Jedi Master.
When they got off the ship and moved towards the city, Captain Panaka called to them:
"The Queen wants to know more about this world, so she ordered one of the maidservants to accompany you."
"If this is the will of the Queen, then so be it." Qui-Gon suspected that the Queen actually disguised herself as a servent and decided to take a look following the reveal of those strange men. But these were only his theories, whether or not they're true he'll know after interacting with the young girl.
"Thank you Master Jedi."
And so, Queen Amidala, hiding under the name of her servant Sabe, accompanied by two Jedi went to explore the new world and find out where these warriors came from.
