Star Wars Naboo SI 3

It had been several months and the ship was finished and the droids had all arrived. It was fun working on my own personal ship, more so than ones I know I'm going to be getting rid for a quick credit, or a bunch of them really.

One of the reasons was that I had the droids etch in rune clusters all over the ship both internal and external for structural integrity, feather light and for heat dispersion, all I had to do was empower them, though they wouldn't hold forever in battle unless I had some kind of powerful wars stone which I don't really know anything about.

In all honesty I was truly tempted to get a Nubian ship as I simply loved the aesthetics of the designs, they were simply elegantly built and also well built ships but in the end I simply decided to order parts from the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps on Naboo as they had a beautiful 0.9 class hyperdrive though it was expensive as all hell.

I parted out a lot of things from them though such as shields, sensors, targeting systems, main computer, communication systems, as well as the armaments for the little freighter.

Hopefully we could do a lot of business in the future because I like the ships that they make. I had also talked to a manager in the Nubia Star drives inc as they had a new model of ships they were trying to produce but the Naboo were not interested it seemed. I offered to order 20 over a period of 5 years so long as they performed up to expectations and they managed to lower the price slightly, 150,000 credits was simply too expensive for a small bomber.

It was only a few weeks until the boonta eve classic and I was just putting the finishing touches on my new ship that I decided to name Terra-Sol even though I knew it wouldn't be my main ship for too long as I would need something much larger in the future.

I know knew going to Tatooine would probably be dangerous but that's why I trained in private and with my powers. I'm no Jedi by any means but I have noticed things, almost whispers of guidance coming from somewhere, it took me years to realize that it was the force. I never even gave it thought as I figured I would only have access to my magic and would be devoid of the force or something and only have magic.

Once I realized my mistake I had begun to meditate, having to drop my mental shields for the most part so that I could understand the force and what it wanted me to do. It seemed happy but slightly annoyed at my lackadaisical attitude towards things so I had increased my training by a lot, including some hand to hand, basic weapons and some ship tactics.

I could also sense that the force wanted to guide me somewhere, though I wasn't exactly certain where so I brought up a map of the galaxy and was basically pointed to a unknown star system in the unknown region. I would have to check it out in the not too distant future as I get the feeling that it is important.

I saved the coordinates to my pad and would deal with it in the next few months.

And with that me and the droids were in route to Tatooine, my parents seeing us off with a slight feeling of trepidation coming from them because of where I was going.

——————————————

After landing Terra-Sol in the Mos Espa space port I began to explore. You dont really have to identify cargo or anything official on this backwater hutt world and there are no inspections as nothing is official here as I figured it would be. Though I did look in to how to sell things here and it was basically an open market. I had brought several decent land crafts with me to sell or barter for some more peggats or anything else of interest really as I figured I could use the hard currency.

I eventually managed to sell off all my speeders to some of the higher end residents in the city over the last few days, that netted me a tidy sum of around 500 Peggats plus around another 250 for everything else I brought to sell over the last few days.

For the most part I was looking for people to gamble with as I wanted quick money through reading minds and cheating my ass off which would work best through card games such as sabacc.

I of course brought IG 86 with me at the least with the others waiting outside just in case something i untoward were to happen as I had no faith in the honor of gamblers, liars and thieves.

I had to make sure to lose money occasionally as I didn't want to clean people out immediately and not losing at all would just seem like cheating in of itself. Eventually things also got to high stakes when they got desperate to win back their money, such as slaves, property, ships, though unfortunately I didn't win any ships.

As I read the persons mind in front of me it was obvious that he was bluffing, and so was I, we were the last people at the table still in and both of our hands were straight up trash though mine was slightly better.

"Well, are you in?" I ask as I push all my money in to the center of the table. This dude was fairly rich, we both have tens of thousands of peggats worth in the pot but I wasn't expecting him to put in his recently bought slaves, two Twi'lek twins. Ok that made things interesting.

I could tell he was trying to play it cool but I could also see him sweating slightly not that this would completely break his bank but it was a shit ton of money. I'm pretty sure all he had left on him was his ship though and I'm not sure he would want to put that up against mine.

"Are you willing to put your ship against mine?" He asked lazily. I guess I was wrong, he was willing, he brought up a hologram and it wasn't bad, I like mine better but his was probably worth in the same ball park as what I paid for mine when adding in all the parts and stuff. I just threw in my keycard showing my ownership of the Terra-Sol,(making shit up) and he did the same for his own ship, some kind of fancy Yacht.

I was reading his mind the whole time and I knew he wasn't planning to cheat at the last second as he wasn't really a swindler, at least not if he couldn't get away with it and there were a lot of people watching right now.

I threw down my cards first face up and it took a second but I could see the neurons firing, realizing he just lost to a shit hand. If I had won with an amazing hand he was preparing to call me a cheat and take everything by force if he could but I had an almost as shitty hand as he did so there was little he could even say about it, who cheats with the garbage we had?

I just laughed out loud as he threw his hand down also, annoyed as fuck probably. "I hope you choke on it!" He yelled out as he walked away and I just waved at him and collected my loot. Tens of thousand of peggats, a ship, and two Rutian twin Twi'leks, I was more than happy with my haul. Though would I make it to my ship in one piece is the question.

The slave girls were both here watching fearfully as their previous master walked away after handing their controller to their new master which was funny because he just got them a few days prior.

I was quite happy with what I recognized as a Luxury Yacht 3000, though I hope it's well furnished as well. I had already sent 4 of my droids to secure it so nobody would try to leave with it some how. The only downside was that it didn't have any real weapons.

I was mostly unsure how to deal with the two slave girls, they were hot and would be interesting to have around but I wasn't a slaver so I would have to free them eventually, though not on Tatooine as that would be dangerous.

After loading the rest of my winnings in to a large chest carried by one of my GU droids it was time to go. "Ladies, let's head out of here, if you will?" I motioned towards the door and the just nodded slightly afraid of the unknown.

It was not time to leave Tatooine quite yet as I still had money to win from the race but I would probably spend a lot of time checking over my new ship and stuff.

We traveled in silence and surprisingly with no issues, as I was almost certain someone would try to rob me on my way back to my ship though I am in the company of several armed droids plus what amounts to 2 assassin droids.

"Alright ladies, first stop the medical bay to get those slave implants out of you." They just looked confused, honestly I hope they speak galactic basic or I would need a translator droid. So I elaborated farther. "You are both being freed… I am from Naboo and we don't own slaves." I could almost see the neurons firing in their minds as understanding slowly set in.

Honestly they were almost identical though one seemed slightly taller and thinner if barely but they were both overly beautiful examples of their race. "Why are you doing this? You could have simply sold us and not kept slaves?" Anna asked bluntly to the obvious dismay and annoyance of her sister Tann if the look she received was anything to go by.

"I could, true but I don't believe is slavery nor would I sell someone when I could free them. It costs me honestly nothing to free you anyways, though I could use some crew members if your interested." I told them, looking them both in the eyes.

I read their surface thoughts and they were not overly trusting but as the slave chips came out and were destroyed along with the remotes they were slightly more amenable. "I know neither of you probably have any real experience on starships but if your willing to learn, your rooms and food as well as a small stipend will be paid for until you decide to take your skills and move on." That peaked their interest a bit, leaving this planet was a bonus but being able to learn about starships was something else, learning a trade would help their long term future.

"If you don't like the deal, you can always just get off ship when I go home to Naboo, it is an anti slave world so you would be safe." And check mate.

They just looked at each other for a minute then to me and nodded their agreement. Honestly I'm not sure if I should be surprised that they joined, it was a good deal for them, a really good one.

That night the door to my quarters opened and the lights automatically turned on and all I could see before me was naked Rutian goodness, I'm slightly surprised they both entered my room at the same time though I knew Twi'leks were one of the more horny and free races with sex but twins by choice surprised me a bit. Obviously snu snu ensued.
