543.19th Legion

Hutt Boorka is hiding in his own mansion among Nal Hutta, enjoying his luxurious life.

He is not a particularly powerful Hutt Crime Lord, but he still controls several secret smuggling channels, including human trafficking and spice trade. Under these criminal transactions, he possesses wealth that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

But even so, in Hutt Space where there are gangsters everywhere, he is not very eye-catching, but recently, he found a way to make a fortune.

Because many of Boorka's smuggling channels are within the territory of Galactic Republic, he hates Galactic Republic deeply, not least because Galactic Republic's military and police often crack down on and destroy his smuggling fleet, causing him to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, when the war between Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic started, he was also moving around, trying to drag Hutt into the battlefield, join Confederacy of Independent Systems, and take revenge on Galactic Republic.

However, during a smuggling operation, he accidentally rescued a mysterious guy. Surprisingly, that person actually knew about him. The man named Bu-Dayi knew that he could not escape the pursuit of the Republic Intelligence Department alone, so he told Boorka that he had a very important piece of information that could be sold for a large price.

After Boorka read the general information, he bought the information without hesitation and sent Bu-Dayi to the vicinity of Geonosis. He then put the information on the black market and prepared to auction it at fifty times the price.

He was very sure of the value of this information and knew the danger of this information, so he secretly left Tatooine and returned to Hutt's hometown Nal Hutta.

Here, Republic Intelligence Department's agents will have no chance of finding him.

Boorka felt thirsty, so he waved his hand and asked his maid to pour him wine. However, at this moment, his mansion suddenly became dark!

"Guards! Guards!!!" Boorka reacted very quickly and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

Around his mansion, there are 100 fully armed bounty Hunter for protection. As long as any situation arises, they will come as soon as possible and tear the intruders to pieces!

However, no one responded.

After a while, the lights came back on, and Boorka looked around and found that all his slaves had disappeared, and none of the guards appeared.

And... in the center of his luxurious hall, sat a human wearing a black trench coat!

"Who are you!" Boorka asked tremblingly.

The man turned around and looked at Boorka lightly. This is an old human man. He looks to be about 50 years old. He has gray beard and hair. He wears an eyepatch on his right eye. His angular face is full of vicissitudes of life.

"Human! Do you know where this place is? How dare you provoke a Hutt in Nal Hutta!" Boorka said loudly.

However, the man just shook his head, lit a cigarette for himself, and said in a strong and deep voice, "You can call me Big Boss, the rest is not important."

"If you don't want to die..."

"I bought the information about Extractor." Big Boss directly interrupted Boorka and said calmly, "But the price you offered is too high, so I only plan to pay, 5 million Upiupi coin."

"The price I set on the black market is 30 million!" Boorka said, waving his short arms.

"The deal is settled. Pay with one hand and deliver with the other." Big Boss said, taking out a personal credit device issued by the InterGalactic Banking Clan from his arms and placing it on the table.

"I never promised to trade." Boorka said harshly.

"This is not a wise choice, Boorka. The reason why I am able to appear here, you should understand what this means."

"Do you still want to kill me? You should also know what it means to kill a Hutt in Nal Hutta!"

Big Boss raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "You still have one minute to get the money."

He looked at Boorka again and said, "You know, as long as your body is not found in Nal Hutta, that's fine."

Boorka's body trembled violently. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Deal! But I still have one condition!"

"Say." Big Boss answered briefly.

"There is an outpost set up by Galactic Republic, blocking my smuggling route. I want you to destroy this outpost!" Boorka said viciously.

"Deal." Big Boss nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door.

The door was opened, and only a group of fully armed Caladanian warriors wearing black cloaks were seen outside!

"You are...Titan Security!" Boorka finally recognized Titan Security's notorious Kali warrior.

Big Boss looked back at him, put out his cigarette butt on the vase at the door, and left without saying a word.

Since the war broke out on May 21, Galaxy Republic Strategic Command has been working on various tasks for this war.

On May 24, Galaxy Republic Strategic Command proposed and was officially authorized by the Speakers Sheev-Palpatine to divide the entire Galaxy into 20 war zones. Each war zone is led by a governor, and 20 corresponding legions were also established.

Among them, the areas near Geonosis and Tatooine are divided into 14th Theater. 14th Legion, code-named Red Tails (Red Tails), is in charge. The legion headquarters is located at Ryloth.

The Sothis sector of Wilhuff-Governor Tarkin was integrated into the 18th Legion, codenamed Night Hammer (Night Hammer), and the headquarters is located at Eriadu.

The star sector including Bespin Planet and Cerea was integrated into the 19th Legion, codenamed Dark Saber (Dark Saber), headquartered in Hoth Planet (Javin), and appointed by the Governor as Sulama (Sulamar).

Sulama was originally Finance Minister of Galactic Republic, but was later transferred to Hoth Sector as governor. After establishing 19th Legion, he became the top officer of this legion.

In fact, because there has been peace for too long, Galactic Republic is very short of military talents, so basically the senior generals of the army are civilian officials.

From the location point of view, there is no doubt that 19th Legion of Governor Sulama is the most powerful barrier deployed by Galactic Republic against Dawn Star Planet!

On May 26, news of the fall of Bespin Planet reached Coruscant. Sheev-Palpatine held an emergency military meeting and made a decision - counterattack, starting with Bespin Planet!

On May 27, under the leadership of Jedi Master Green-Betty and Jedi Master Aiden Ward, 60 Galactic Republic's most advanced and powerful warships-Hunter Class Battlecruiser completed its assembly at Galactic Republic Capital Coruscant, and entered the hyperspace channel mightily, flying directly to the 19th Legion command center, Hoth Planet.
