344. Battle of Naboo (1)
Kato-Neimoidia (Cato Neimoidia), one of the oldest colonies of Neimoidian, is also the colony closest to their home planet - Neimoidia.
After thousands of years of development, Kato-Neimoidia has always existed as the secret fortress of Neimoidian. Only the most powerful people are qualified to live on this planet.
Kato-Neimoidia In the capital Zarra City (Zarra), Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray and his most trusted confidant Rune Harkou and others are having their final secret meeting.
In the holographic projection in front of them, a man covered by a black cloak was standing there with a slightly hunched body, a hook-like nose, a thin chin, and a twisted smile. It was Sith Lord Das-Sidious!
"The time has come! It's time to show our power in Naboo, and then give Galactic Republic a fatal blow! Hahahaha..." Sidious smiled sinisterly.
Rune Harkou said timidly, "But... But this is no better than before. If we really want to send troops to attack Naboo, we will over-stimulate Galactic Republic, and we won't be able to afford it."
"Ignorant and stupid cowards!! I have laid the groundwork for you so much. If I hadn't intervened in the Dovara mining zone dispute, would you still be able to stay in this high position of Trade Federation? Now is the best time. If you don't take this last step, you will always be just an ordinary company under Galactic Republic!" Sidious snorted coldly.
"But we do have to consider Galactic Republic's reaction, and even Jedi Order's reaction. This time, Corporate Alliance is not in Malastare. This time, you want us to send out ground troops to occupy Naboo!" Newt Gunray was unsure.
"Galactic Republic, Phineas-Valorum and Jedi Order have all been restrained by me using various means! Battle of Malastare Canyon and Eriadu Commerce Summit terrorist attacks make Judicial Fleet never support Phineas-Valorum again, and Jedi Order After experiencing the heavy losses of the Indjori riots, they will not have the courage to continue to interfere in such things! Cerean civil war, even if the daughter of Ji-Adi-Master Mundi has been arrested and killed, have you seen Jedi Order move? "Sidious said.
Newt Gunray breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously, "Then... let's... move, start?"
"Do it! Now! Naboo's new Queen is just a little girl! Faced with your invasion, she will only hide in Homeworld and cry!! If you don't do it now, when will you wait!? Block Mid Rim's trade channel is now!" Sidious suddenly roared, with a powerful the Force sound that blew the things on the conference table flying everywhere, and Newt Gunlay and others were also knocked over.
"Idiot!" Sidious cursed and cut off the communication directly.
Rune Harkor got up from the ground, straightened his hat, ran over to help Newt Gunray up, and said with lingering fear, "Lord Gunray, is this Sith Lord? It's terrible! Do we really want to cooperate with such a terrifying person?"
Newt Gunray slapped Rune Harkor's hand away, got up, and gritted his teeth and said, "We'd better not anger this lord, and you must understand that because of him, we can be in this position to lead Trade Federation. If he is dissatisfied with us... Since he can use Eriadu Commerce Summit to kill the previous governor and put us in power, then this can happen again!"
"Then how about we not send ground troops, but only send fleets to block it?" Rune Harkor asked tremblingly.
"Go and assemble the fleet!! Fill LH-3210 with robots!!" Persimmon was squeamish. Newt Gunray yelled at Hacker, and then as if to comfort himself, he said to himself, "Occupy Naboo, then all the plasma mines on the planet will be mine! We can also control the trade routes around Naboo! Yeah! Yes! That's it!"
He punched the table, turned on the communicator and said fiercely, "All fleets, according to the scheduled plan, will set off after 24 standard hours!!"
Mid Rim Territories, Naboo, outer space.
Without any warning, the white light kept flashing, and a large number of large spaceships jumped out of hyperspace and suddenly appeared in the universe!
These spaceships are very huge, and they are all of the same model - the circular LH-3210 large cargo ship!
This kind of cargo ship is in the shape of a ring 3170 meters long and 3009 meters wide, with a huge spherical hull in the center with a diameter of 1029 meters.
But what is frightening is that some of them were originally just cargo ships, but now have a large number of turrets installed on them, protecting themselves like hedgehogs. And on the spherical hull in the middle, a high-power signal transmission tower is installed for combat use.
Among the 60 LH-3210 cargo ships, only about 10 are armed models equipped with turrets and signal transmission towers. These armed cargo ships are hidden in the fleet, creating the illusion that only cargo ships are coming.
These cargo ships immediately surrounded the entire planet in batches along the equator of Naboo. Then, from the annular hull around the cargo ship, densely packed Vulture droid fighter flew out like a swarm of bees, tens of thousands of them!!
The terrifying formation made all the merchant fleets entering and leaving Naboo silent and did not dare to move. Although it seemed that all the cargo ships were coming over, the huge hulls of these cargo ships brought a great sense of oppression. Coupled with the threat of tens of thousands of Vulture droid fighters, no one thought they had the ability to stop this terrifying fleet!
Then, visiting the battlefield in person, Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray, who was in the flagship, connected to the public channel and broadcast to all surrounding ships. "Notify all ships traveling to and from Naboo that due to Naboo's breach of contract, And to protest against Galactic Republic's illegal taxation of Free Trade Zone, now Naboo has been blocked by us Trade Federation. This is a legal protest. I hope everyone will understand and leave in time."

Although there have been many changes due to the activities of the protagonist, the general things have not changed. The plot at the beginning of this chapter is more effective when combined with the movie. Combined with the previous plot, you will understand many things that were briefly mentioned in the movie.]
