Business talks
~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: Nal Hutta)~~~
Now that I have the full attention of the Hutt Cartel. Well, at least the major players. I can start to move my plans into motion. I'm going to wage a full-scale invasion into Imperial Space. While I can decimate the Imperial fleet and worlds, I'll be killing many innocent people in the process. I don't want to do that. So that leaves me with the old-fashioned way of invasion. I'll need ships and credits for this project. I won't need the manpower. I'll control my fleet of ships with the force. I'll be in the flagship and controlling everything in my fleet and ships with the force.
I'm capable of such power, and I'm still getting stronger. It's obvious why The Sith Emporer hides from me. I dwarf him in power. Many say they don't have limits to their powers. I'm the only one where that's true. Nothing in the galaxy except The Sith Emporer can hide from my gaze. I know where every force sensitive is at any given time. I could reach out and crush them if I wanted to. I could exterminate The Sith Empire if I so wished, however that is not my battle. Mine is with The Emperor himself. Not his Empire. He obviously doesn't care about his people.
I stop pinning the bounty hunters to the wall, and they fall to the ground unconscious. "If any of you fail to cooperate. You'll suffer the same fate as this pile of goo." I indicate to the fleshy and gross pile of Hutt in front of me. Many of the Hutts look at Kemro in anger. Blaming him for bringing me into their lives. "I want a fleet and a supply of credits from all of you. 2 capital ships from each, and 7 support vessels along with 5 attack vessels. My flagship will be a super dreadnaught. I'll also need a supply of 15 million credits. From each of you." These are heavy demands.
They groan and protest at the demands. However, I'm not going to leave them with anything in this deal. "I'm not cruel. Any Imperial world I take and don't need in my campaign will go to the Hutt Cartel. Who gets them is up to all of you." That shuts them right up. It's a necessary sacrifice. Imperial controlled worlds aren't my main concern. My ultimate end goal is the Emperor. How I get there does matter, which is why any world I take will go to the Hutts. While living under the Hutts is bad. They'll be neutral worlds, and Republic and Imperial occupation will be difficult.
The Hutts begin talking amongst each other. In the exchange of worlds for my demands, it's a good deal. Great even. They'll be expanding their own empire at an extremely small price. They stop talking, and Kemro takes a breath. "You have a deal, Nathan. Tell us the place you want the fleet delivered and the credits deposited to." I toss him a personal account number, and he shares it with the rest of the Hutts. They immediately deposit the money into my account. Now it's time to talk about the delivery place for the fleet.
Tatooine is a world I completely control. It's going to be the staging operations for my fleet. "Send the fleet to Tattooine. Sorry that I took the world from your control, but it was needed. Once I'm done with my campaigns, you'll get it back. Along with plenty of other planets." The Hutts nod their heads and make their way towards their personal exits. Now I have everything I need. If the Republic gets in my way, they'll be dealt with too. However, I think that Satele can convince the new Chancellor that it'd be unwise to challenge me.
Kemro is the only Hutt left in the room. "It's been a real pleasure working with you, Nathan. I'm looking forward to the opportunities ahead of us." I turn around without a word and exit the meeting room myself. I'm just as useful to Kemro as Kemro is to me. As a personal ally, he has my protection. And he uses it. He's gained the most out of all the Hutts in the last 7 years, and as long as he doesn't interfere with my business. I don't care what he does. Now, I'm going to take a break at the cantina. I need a break from space travel.
