It had been a few days until the Boonta Eve classic when I won the twins and since then we have only went out a few times, mostly to gamble or procure things for my new luxury liner ship.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone to make any interesting bets with but I still did win some good money but now it's time for the pod race. I looked at all the contestants and their odds for winning and I wasn't surprised to see Sebulba with a 1:1 odds but I was surprised to see a young Anakin Skywalker on the list of racers. I was actually confused until I remembered that he crashed Wattos pod racer prior to winning his first race for Padme and the Jedi, probably years later.
I would wait for the race to Star before I put a fairly large bet on Sebulba to win as I'm pretty sure he will and the force also gives me a warm feeling when I try to ask it if I should bet on him.
The girls were with me in our booth as we watched the race, acting like the good slave girls with one of them in my lap feeding me. We all agreed that them pretending to be slaves was safest for them in the end. There is no real reason to go in to detail and needless to say Sebulba won as he pretty much always does except when plot wants to foil him against a 9 year old Anakin and I won many tens of thousands of Peggats as I also used the Gemino charm to make more temporary peggats to increase my bet as I was almost assured that that creepy alien dude would win and even if he didn't the fake peggats would hold for a few days until I was long gone so it wouldn't matter.
Some of these were private bets and some were against brokers that worked the race so I would be paid in both currency and property including a few old junker ships, droids and slaves.
The outcome was pretty obvious but to be fair Sebulba wasn't quite as well known right now as he would be in a few years so that's something I guess, I ended up taking a few people to the cleaners as well as winning around 35,000 Peggats for my trouble. With that came two junker ships that I allowed both to buy back for 7500 republic credits each, and last but not least there were 3 slave girls, not overly surprising I suppose with this being a slaver world.
The first girl was surprisingly a red Twi'lek, that came from Jabba instead of the nearly 2000 Peggats he lost to me, a crazy amount for a slave girl, even an extremely perfect one but I accepted anyways as I didn't want an angry slug on my ass and it wasn't technically THAT much of a ripoff as her coloring was stupidly rare.
The next one was a little Togruta girl who kind of reminded me of Ahsoka though she had white skin instead of orange. I'm guessing she is in her mid teens but it's hard for me to tell. The person who lost her to me owed me almost a thousand Peggats so I took her in compensation instead as he claimed to be short of credits and I simply accepted as I just wanted to get today over with.
The last girl had blue skin and I wasn't sure what species she was until I saw her nearly blood red eyes and was guessing she was a Chiss. She was also fairly young though probably in her early teens.
And with that I took my winnings and left the area as quickly as I could with my new current retinue following closely behind as well as my droids. I would of course have to free them as well when we got to the ship, a shame though as the red Twi'lek pretty much puts everyone to shame in the looks department and will be sad to see her go if she so chooses, though I could hear my twins talking to the new group of soon to be free slaves, I couldn't really hear what they were saying as they were whispering quietly amongst themselves.
By now we basically made my new yacht into our little home away from home since it has far better shields if less maneuverability plus it is also armed as well.
The ship was run by my droids so I had rearranged the crew quarters a bit to make them slightly more spacious though fewer in number, they were more than enough for my rag tag group for now.
The girls obviously had no where to go so they ended up taking me up on my offer though most of them were far to young to have any kind of physical relation with, the red Twi'lek girl, whose name I couldn't properly pronounce, thus simply gave her a new name, Androemda, I eventually learned was in her late teens and eventually decided to join the twins in bed with me on occasion, mostly due to her race practically being overly horny teenagers when compared to most species.
Though I could tell the Togruta girl, Anara, was extremely curious about such things, she was also only 16 years old I eventually learned, though I thought she looked slightly younger possibly due to malnutrition, which I never understood people doing that to their slaves, makes them less useful.
I wasn't stepping on that land mine, maybe in a year or two, and the Chiss girl, while smart, was also only around 13 years old though she was good with technology it seems which was why she was so expensive to buy, or in this case win. The rest of the girls were more from the entertainment category, as in dancers. Thankfully they were pretty much untouched, the red Twi'lek being Jabbas and the Togruta, Anara, being too young and thankfully her master didn't like children in that way it seemed.
Well I wanted to get off this world before people got too bold and assassinated me even with my droid guards, as I have a lot of cash on me and that would tempt anyone and that doesn't even believe the girls.
As I was preparing to set course for Naboo I had a feeling, obviously through the force, that I needed to go elsewhere. It seems I was going to my mystery system sooner rather than later.
I had a spare pilot and astromech droid to pilot my freighter and slaved it to my ship which I decided to name it the Golden'Sol.(I'm bad at naming things)
I obviously spoke to the others on the ship before we entered hyperspace but I had to explain to them that I was force sensitive, though the twins already knew by now. They were all surprised by that revelation but not in a bad way when they learned that I used my powers to win my bets and in the end lead to their freedom.
I simply explained how the force worked or at least a watered down quick version of it and that it can guide you to where your needed or to what you need some times. Which was also going to be how I had to fly the ship, letting the force guide my hands as our destination was in the unknown regions, which is obviously dangerous to fly through without proper navigation information as most people tend to go splat on something. That's probably why most people stick to the charted space lanes.
————————————-
It had been 18 hours of flying, entering and exiting hyperspace and adjusting course half a dozen times to avoid gravitational bodies or dangers I'm guessing, but now we were finally exciting hyperspace to our destination or that is the feeling I'm getting from the force at least.
Once we exited hyperspace, both ships began scanning the area including launching what few probes we had in to the system to get more details faster. It was not what I was expecting by a long shot. But I recognized quite a bit, some from old lessons in school from my previous life and some from my old wookiepedia searches back in the day.
The thing that immediately hit me was the blue marble that had an eerie resemblance to Earth including the same amount of planets in the system that all looked familiar. The next thing that hit me was the device or station near the sun, if I wasn't mistaken it looked far too much like the Star forge, though I thought it was far bigger than this, as this was only about 3 kilometers in diameter when I thought the Star forge should be over a hundred and spew out fleets of ships at a time though I never saw anything stating the size of one I don't think this is the Star Forge Reven used.
We would have to approach that thing carefully if it's anything like the original as if I remember correctly it can have a corrupting influence if you stay within it for too long a time or whatever.
We would have to take the time to explore this system and see if it has any interesting resources as well as if we can gain control of the Star forge.
