Chapter 479: Investigation
The Outer Rim of the Galaxy, the Drazkel System.
White light flashed past, and two latest Delta-7 Fighters, driven by the Hyperspace Ring, left Hyperspace and appeared in this Hidden System.
"Master, we are here." A young Human Jedi Apprentice clicked a few buttons in the cockpit to let the Fighter escape from the Hyperspace Ring.
Inside the other Fighter was a Mon Calamari Jedi Master, his flounder-like face was already covered with wrinkles, "Let's look for clues here, Layun."
His name was Yajin, an older Jedi Master and Layun's mentor.
The Jedi Apprentice named Layun looked at the large Space Station outside, frowned and said, "This Space Station has been abandoned."
Indeed, this large Space Station with a diameter of more than 500 meters is in a state of darkness, and the engine used to maintain the synchronous orbit is not running.
It is orbiting this satellite, a dead planet without any signs of life, so the gravity is not strong.
"10 years ago, Eldra Kaitis and her Master were attacked by interstellar pirates near the Sarka System. At that time, they were driving a civilian spaceship without any weapons, so they were shot down by pirates. At that time, everyone thought that both of them died." Yajin sighed, "But 2 years ago, Eldra Kaitis appeared in Nar Shaddaa, and she has fallen to the Dark Side."
"When their spaceship fell, her Master rescued her, but she was still captured by the pirates. Those pirates sold her to the Xrexus Cartel, and here is the clue we traced. The Xrexus Cartel, auction was held here, and Eldra was sold as a commodity." Yajin continued.
Boom! Layun slammed his fist on the console and growled, "Those bastards!"
"Control your emotions, Layun. I know you had a good relationship with Eldra back then, and you even had some other ideas, but remember I have reminded you countless times. First, you know that the Jedi Order of the Knights does not allow two people who are sensitive to The Force to marry, let alone a Jedi Knight. Second, Eldra is different from before, and if necessary, we will kill her." Yajin said.
"If possible, I want to bring her back to the Jedi Order, alive," Layun said through gritted teeth.
Yajin sighed, "I came here voluntarily to investigate, not to let you get stuck in the past, but to cut off the past. Love, fear, anger, these will cause the power of the Dark Side to erode your heart, I can't let you follow in the footsteps of Eldra."
"My heart has never been so firm, master," Layun said in a deep voice.
"Let's find out the reason for Eldra's fall first. This Space Station obviously had an accident. You see, a hole was blown out at the Control Console. You go into the Space Station and have a look. I'll go to the surface of the satellite to find clues." After Yajin finished speaking, he controlled the Fighter to enter the thin atmosphere of the satellite.
Layun entered the Space Station from the Hangar Platform, which had obviously been artificially emptied. Such a Huge Space Station, which is used as a Space Station for luxury villas, has no value. The cost of moving or dismantling is very high. Why not just throw it away?
After searching, Master and Apprentice Yajin and Layun finally found clues in the control center where a gap was blown out.
Layun found a piece of fiber from a twisted piece of metal, which should be a piece of cloth torn from a woman's clothing, and there was a broken card inside the piece of cloth.
"This thing is...wait a minute, information card? K0-T7, scan it for me." Layun took the card over and let his Navigation Droid scan and analyze it through remote communication.
Soon, he got the result, "The Fourth Group? Is the Fourth Group involved in this auction? What relationship do they have with the Xrexus Cartel?"
Yajin's voice came from the communication, "I also found the wreckage of many spaceships on the satellite. There was a battle here. Why did the Fourth Group and the Xrexus Cartel get involved? I asked Master Coleman to help us check with the Ministry of Commerce."
Layun, who was investigating at the Space Station, suddenly saw something floating in the distance through the porthole. He used The Force to look far away, but found that it was a B-1 Battle Droid!
Instead of calling his Master, he returned to the Hangar Platform, got on his Delta-7 Fighter, chased after the wreckage of the B-1 Battle Droid, and dragged it back to the Space Station with a Tractor Beam.
"This Droid is still in good condition, but it has no energy." In the hangar, Layun looked at the Droid and thought, "K0-T7, try to see if you can activate it."
The Navigation Droid stretched out a small mechanical arm, inserted it into the charging slot of the B-1 Droid, and began to release electric energy with a bang.
The B-1 Droid started to move immediately, but because of the lack of power, its movements were very weak. It said in an intermittent voice: "The goods... send... Sojo... Planet urn..."
"Planet Sojourn?" Layun returned to the cockpit of the Fighter and looked up the name on the Star Map, but the result was blank.
At this time, Yajin sent a message, "Master Coleman helped us go to the Ministry of Commerce to check. According to the data records of the Ministry of Commerce, the Fourth Group has no relationship with the Xrexus Cartel. However, 10 years ago, a mysterious sum of money was remitted to the Xrexus Cartel, and then the group held an election for the Board of Directors. The reason for the election was the accidental death of the original Director Seve Sirethex. The source of this money... is a trust fund under the Fourth Group. It seems that this is an illegal transaction that has not been registered, and someone is covering up the existence of this transaction."
Yajin thought for a while and continued: "I think some of our clues match up. The last time Eldra Ketis appeared in Nar Shaddaa, she massacred more than 700 people in a gang, and this is related to a gangster called Ni Yongxiao. The gang leaders were in a hostile relationship, and Ni Yongxiao's backside is likely to be the Fourth Group."
"So, Eldra's fall may have something to do with the Fourth Group?" Layun was rapidly operating on the computer, trying to decipher the data of the B-1 Droid, while replying to his Master, but the action was still orderly.
"At least we know that the Fourth Group participated in this auction, and after the auction, they gave Xrexus Cartel a large sum of money," Yajin said in the communication.
At this time, Layun slammed on the keyboard and said loudly: "It's done! Master! I found a planet that doesn't exist on the Star Map! Planet Sojourn!!"
