Chapter 60
The sounds of battle could be heard above the planet of Naboo as the Trade Federation Fleet engaged the Republic Fleet.
The Republic Fleet made up of the 3 Venators and some other light cruisers were fighting off the Trade Federation Fleet. The Admiral of the Fleet had already called for help.
"Sir our fleet won't last long out here we need reinforcements" Demanded the Admiral as he was reporting to the Republic High Command.
"Calm down Admiral we have another fleet on route to Naboo but you will have to hold on until that fleet arrives" Said High Command
"We will hold on but the Trade Federation has a lot of fighter's attacking my fleet overwhelming us"
The Admiral looked out of the viewport of his command ship, watching as the Trade Federation's droid fighters weaved in and out of the Republic's own fighter squadrons. He knew their situation was dire, but he refused to give up.
"Send out our own fighters. We need to thin out their numbers," he ordered his crew.
Within moments, the Republic pilots were scrambling to their ships, preparing to engage the enemy. The Admiral watched as they launched, their engines roaring as they soared into the fray.
But despite their best efforts, the Trade Federation fighters continued to overwhelm them. It was like fighting an endless swarm of angry insects. The Admiral gritted his teeth, knowing that they couldn't hold on forever.
Just then, a new fleet jumped into the system. The Admiral let out a sigh of relief as he saw their ships appear on the viewport. He knew they had a fighting chance now.
"Admiral," a voice crackled through his communication system. "This is General Kenobi. We're here to provide assistance."
The Admiral's eyes widened as he recognized the name. General Obi-Wan Kenobi, a renowned Jedi Knight" General, we're glad to have you here," the Admiral replied.
"We'll take it from here, Admiral," General Kenobi said confidently. "Focus on getting your fleet out of the battle safely."
The Admiral nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He knew they were in good hands with General Kenobi and the Jedi. He ordered his ships to retreat, while the new fleet and the Jedi engaged the Trade Federation.
The battle raged on, laser fire lighting up the darkness of space. General Kenobi's ship, the Jedi Cruiser, was at the center of the battle. As he stood on the bridge, he could feel the Force flowing through him, guiding his every move.
But even with the Jedi's skill and the new fleet's firepower, the Trade Federation's droid fighters continued to swarm around them like a cloud of angry bees. The battle seemed unending, with no clear winner in sight. But General Kenobi refused to give up.
He knew that they had to take out the Trade Federation's control ship, which was directing the droid fighters."Attention, all ships," he said through the communication system. "We need to take out the control ship. Follow my lead."
With that, General Kenobi's ship led the charge towards the Trade Federation's flagship. The other ships followed, firing their weapons at the droid fighters as they flew past.
The Trade Federation's flagship returned fire, but the new fleet's firepower proved too much for it to handle. The ship exploded in a burst of flames, and the droid fighters suddenly lost their direction.

Meanwhile on the ground Lt Kingsley was talking with the Queen of Naboo.
"Your majesty it looks like the Republic force have taken out the Trade Federation fleet above the planet causing the droids on the surface of the planet to stop working" Reported Kingsley
"As the Queen of Naboo I sincerely thank you for your help throughout this matter, but I don't know why you would help us or who do you work for" Questioned the Queen since she has never seen people in this type of armor and with this high amount of training.
"Unfortunately your majesty I can't tell you where we come from or who do we work for but I can tell you that we are just here to help since the Trade Federation are being used and controlled by the Galactic Empire, and we are just here to stop the Galactic Empire from spreading chaos throughout the Galaxy" Said Lt Kingsley as he was told to not mention the Terran Ascendency's name when operating throughout the Galaxy until told otherwise.
"I Understand the need for secrecy, so I won't pry any further but still I want to thank you once again because if they captured me then I would have probably been used as a political tool to further the Galactic Empire's Ambitions" Said Queen Amidala.
Hearing about the Trade Federation being used and controlled by the Galactic Empire explained everything to Queen Amidala. She was already aware of the Republic's Corrupt Senate but she didn't think that it was this bad.
The only one who she saw wasn't corrupt was the new Chancellor who sought to bring back the glory of the Old Republic.
"Well Your Majesty it's been good meeting with you though I wish it was under a better situation" Said Lt Kingsley "But me and my team have to leave"
"It's fine though next time I hope that you can tell me who your boss is so that I can thank him personally" Said Queen Amidala
Lt Kingsley and his team then left the Palace and boarded their transport that had landed outside of the Palace.
As the transport was taking off Lt Kingsley had seen the Republic drop ship coming into view above the city.
His ship was cloaked so they couldn't see him, and he was glad since he didn't want to have to talk to the Republic forces since it would cause too much trouble for him and require him to talk more when he has more important things to do.
