26 First Space Station And Planning

After taking the shuttle down John explored the planet for a little but found nothing on it as there was no water on Ord Ibanna and the Tibanna gas mining were stations that were in space so he decided to use this planet for building droids and then using those droids to build ships.

After going back to the shuttle John went back into space and landed on the Kumari. Once in the Bridge area of the ship, John asked the system to begin construction of the space station.

In front of him appeared a blueprint of a space station that was beginning to build. It would take a total of 3 days to build the space station so John stayed in the system in case some pirates came roaming through.

And indeed the pirates came back but this time with a bigger ship with them. John had no choice but to request some support from his base. After contacting the base support would arrive in 10 minutes so John just had to hold out until then so he engaged the fleet mainly focusing fire on the small ships first while his fighters focused on the pirate fighters.

After a couple of minutes, most of the smaller ships were gone and the big ship was still up and firing on John which caused his shields to start to become low. But as the shields were failing John saw 3 old Valor-class cruiser ships had exit Hyperspace and started firing on the enemy fleet. John had then received a transmission stating that this was the backup that was supposed to be here.

'These must be some old ships that were found or taken by now of the teams I sent out.' Thought John

As these 3 cruisers opened fire on the pirate ships they were quickly making progress even for them being old. The ships also came with 20 Liberator-class starfighters in each ship which quickly overpowered the pirate's fighters and destroyed some ship's systems. John had ordered the Fighters to focus on the pirate's hyperdrive system to prevent them from leaving the sector as he didn't want them to come back with even more forces as that would be annoying. It took about 10 more minutes for the pirates to be completely defeated and after they were defeated John ordered the 3 cruisers to salvage any remaining ship parts from the battle.

Once they were done salvaging John had told Padme about the 2 more ships he had coming through her space. Though this time she wasn't surprised and just told him that he doesn't need to tell her as long he doesn't start firing on civilian ships she doesn't care.

Once he was done talking to Padme John had waited 3 days for the space station to be done. While waiting no more pirate ships had entered the sector after the battle but some freighters did pass by but they didn't come close to John so he just ignored them as they were far enough away that they couldn't detect or see the space station.

After the space station was done John had docked the battleship in one of the ports and went to power the station on from the command room. After powering the station on John saw all the computers turn on and saw some station defenses that had turned on also.

After observing the command room John ordered some droids to come and work the computers and also sent a communication to his base to send some more robots and people, and some supplies to the new space station. Since he didn't have that many engineers and scientists John brought some more from the system which brought his system points down to 90k from the original 180k.

After informing the engineers and scientists on what to do they went to look for the labs and hangers so they can get to work though they didn't have ships to rework the station would need to be well maintained in case something goes wrong.

Now that John had a space station he could move the newly acquired ships here while the ships he been had would stay on Rori. This would allow him to hide most of the ships from anyone who has seen them coming and going.

Since he had everything that he needed on the way to the station he went back to Rori so he could summon some spies that he could use to attain information while also he could have them train some spies.

It took 1 day to reach Rori and John spent most of this time just planning on what he would do for the Naboo invasion. He had thought about having the engineers build some stealth ships and have the ECDs get in them with a team of droids and take the Lucrehulks from the confederacy and reprogram the droids. This is an ideal plan and if successful will give him access to powerful ships that when retrofitted will be godly in battle.

Each Lucrehulk can carry

-50 C-9979 Landing craft

-1,500 Vulture droid starfighters

-1,500 troop carriers

-550 Multi-Troop Transports

-6,250 Armored assault tanks

- Over 329,600 B-1 Battle droids

All of this was just simply too much and all he had to do was take it And he had a plan for that he would buy the Drop pods from Halo and retrofit some ships for them and drop the droids and ECDs on the ship directly.

And once he had the ships he would retrofit all droids as the droid factory could do that, and he would retrofit the transports and tanks and improve the shields and speed of the Lucrehulk, all troop carriers would be changed also.

Once he took the Lucrehulks he would negotiate with the trade federation which will show the Galaxy a new faction had appeared in the Galaxy and they were powerful. He would of course tell Padme about what he plans to do beforehand and see her reaction. Since she trusts him he expects her to accept what he will do or she could let her ignorance choose her decision for her which would cause him to break ties with her though he won't invade as that would bring the whole Republic down on him and he wasn't ready for something like that yet.

John now back at the Base on Rori looked through the system and found the drop pod tech which was quite expensive it costed 50k system points. But it was worth it so he bought the tech and showed the blueprint to the scientists and engineers and they were excited to build something like this as it would revolutionize their military.

A/N: Next chapter will be the next 1 year time skip and then after that, the Naboo blockade will happen Also I don't know the exact amount of Lucrehulks that blockaded Naboo so I might just say 8 or 10 if anybody knows there more than welcome to tell me.
