Chapter 345: The Invasion of Naboo (1)

Cato Neimoidia, one of the oldest colonies of the Neimoidians, is also the colony closest to their home planet, Planet Neimoidia.

For thousands of years of development, Cato Neimoidia has always existed as a secret fortress of the Neimoidians, and only the most powerful people are eligible to live on this planet.

In the city of Zarra, the capital of Planet Cato Neimoidia, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray, and his most trusted confidant, Rune Haako, are conducting the final secret meeting.

In the holographic projection in front of them, a person covered by a black cloak is standing there with a slightly hunched body. With a hooked nose, a thin chin, and a distorted smile, he is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!

"The time has come! It's time to show our strength on Planet Naboo, and then, deal a fatal blow to the Galactic Republic! Hahahaha..." Sidious smiled sinisterly.

Rune Haako said timidly: "But... But this is no better than before. If we really want to send troops to attack Planet Naboo, the Galactic Republic will be overly stimulated, and we will not be able to eat it."

"Ignorant and stupid cowards!! I have paved the way for you so much. If the dispute in the Dorvalla mining area hadn't been for me to come forward, you would still be able to stay in the high position of this Trade Federation? Now is the best time, don't step on it Take this last step, and you will always be just an ordinary company under the Republic!" Sidious snorted coldly.

"However, we do have to consider the reaction of the Republic and even the response of the Jedi Order. This time is no different from the previous Corporate Alliance on Planet Malastare. This time, you want us to send ground forces to occupy Planet Naboo!" Nute Gunray had no idea.

"The Republic, Vinis Valorum, and the Jedi Order have all been bound by me in various ways! The Battle of the Malastare and the terrorist attack on the Eriadu Business Summit made the Judicial Fleet never to be seen again. Support Vinis Valorum, and after the Jedi Order suffered heavy losses from the Injori riots, they would not have the guts to continue interfering in such a thing! The civil war on Planet Cerea, even Ki-Adi-Mundi, the Jedi Master's daughter was arrested and killed, did you see the Jedi order move?" Sidious said.

Nute Gunray breathed a sigh of relief, and said cautiously: "Then... let's... move, do it?"

"Do it! Now! The new Queen of Planet Naboo is just a young girl! In the face of your invasion, she will only hide at home and cry!! If you don't do it now, when will you wait!? Block the Trade Route in the middle of the Galaxy, that is Now!!" Sidious suddenly roared, and with a powerful sound wave, the things on the conference table were blown away, and Nute Gunray and others were also overturned.

"Idiot!" Sidious cursed and cut off the communication directly.

Rune Haako got up from the ground, straightened his tall hat, ran over to help Newt Gunley up, and said with lingering fear: "Lord Gunray, is this the Lord of the Sith? It's terrible! Are we really going to work with such a horrible person?"

Nute Gunray slapped Rune Haako's hand away with a slap, got up by himself, gritted his teeth and said, "We'd better not provoke this lord, and you must understand that we can stand in this position because of him lead the Trade Federation. If he is dissatisfied with us... Since he can use the Eriadu Business Summit to kill the previous Viceroy and help us come to power, he can let this happen again!"

"Then how about we don't send ground troops, but just send the fleet to block it?" Rune Haako asked tremblingly.

"Go assemble the fleet!! Fill the LH-3210 Freighter with Droids!!" Haako squeezed softly, and Nute Gunray yelled at Haako, then as if comforting himself, he said to himself: "Occupy Planet Naboo, then all the plasma mines on the planet will be mine! We can also control the Trade Routes around Planet Naboo! Yes! Yes! That's it!"

He slammed his fist on the table, turned on the communicator and said fiercely: "All fleets, according to the scheduled plan, depart after 24 standard hours!!"

...

Central Star Sector of the Milky Way, Planet 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 space!

These spaceships are very huge, and all of them are of the same modelan annular Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 Cargo Freighter!

This kind of cargo ship is in the shape of a ring with a length of 3170 meters and a width of 3009 meters, with a huge spherical hull with a diameter of 1029 meters in the center.

But what is frightening is that some of them were originally Cargo Freighters, but now they have installed a large number of turrets 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 Freighters, only about 10 were armed models equipped with Turrets and Signal Launch Towers. These armed Cargo Freighters were hidden in the fleet, creating the illusion that only Cargo Freighters came.

These Cargo Freighters immediately surrounded the entire planet along the equator of Naboo in batches, and then from the ring-shaped hull around the Cargo freighters, densely packed Vulture Droid Fighters that looked like bee swarms flew out, tens of thousands of them!!

The terrifying situation made all the merchant fleets entering and leaving Planet Naboo shudder and dare not move. Although it seems that all the Cargo Freighters are coming, the huge hull of these cargo ships brings a great sense of oppression, coupled with the threat of tens of thousands of Vulture Droid Fighters, no one thinks that they have the ability to stop this terrifying fleet!

Then, coming to the battlefield in person, Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation in the flagship, switched on the public channel and broadcast to all the surrounding spaceships: "Notify all spaceships traveling to and from Planet Naboo, because of the breach of contract by Planet Naboo, and the Galactic Republic's protest against the illegal taxation in the free trade zone, and now Planet Naboo has been blocked by our Trade Federation. This is a legal protest, and I hope everyone understands and leaves in time."
