Chapter 65: Advancement and Aleen

Alexander didn't try to spy on the Jedi, once again. He had did not have the time to do so. Alexander was busy planning his next step. Alexander had two options in front of him. He could continue the subjugation of mid rim planets or move on to the core worlds and start the conquest there. The problem was that every core world had a Jedi Master stationed there in order to act as liasen between the Jedi Temple and the government present there. Alexander didn't know if his usage of king's might would be detected by the resident Jedi Master or not. Alexander was not sure about his next step and thought of asking his advisors for help.

Alexander told his advisors the problem, he was facing and asked for their help. The advisors were quite excited at the thought of helping Alexander and assured him that they will find a solution to his problem. Alexander then turned his attention back to his advancement and continued to convert force into magic and absorb it to awaken his cells. Alexander, in order to not alert the nearby Jedi , only converted that much force that would go unnoticed. Alexander now, was able to awaken 10 million magic cells in 6 hours. So, by the end of the week, when the reinforcements of the Jedi arrived, Alexander had awakened a total 345 million magic cells.

Alexander left Dual and moved towards planet Gromas in Perkell Sector of Mid rim where the strongest metal in star wars world was found. That metal was called Phrik and was said to be nearly indestructible by the scientists of the galaxy. Alexander wanted to test this proclaimed indestructibility of the metal and also claim the only known deposits of this metal in the galaxy. Alexander had a dream of having thousands of fleets of magically enhanced starships made of Phrik under his command. Also, Alexander wanted the Ballastians to be upgraded on reaching adulthood by using Phrik as this was the strongest metal in star wars world.

Alexander was not going to use his previous starship anymore. Alexander was given luxury starship by the chairman, which was half a kilometer long and 100 meters wide with a class 2.8 hyperdrive and a fully trained piloting crew who also acted as bodyguards. This fitted completely with the cover Alexander had for himself. Alexander was acting as a close relative of the Chairman of Dual who wanted to visit the prominent planets of the mid rim. Alexander planned to stop at four prominent planets of mid rim before arriving at Gromas. These planets were Aleen, Ithor, Coyerti and Nartor. Alexander looked at Daul for one last time and left for Aleen. The journey to Aleen would take 2 months. Alexander had destroyed the realm gate at Dual and had continued the time difference. Alexander had told his scientists that they would meet again when he reached Aleen. Alexander also ordered the Ballastians to help the scientists when they were given clear by their trainers.

Alexander carved the runic circle on the floor of his room and sat inside it. Alexander continued to pull force in small quantities to be converted in magic. The technology of star wars was advanced enough to withstand magic up to a certain limit. Alexander lowered his speed of advancement to 20 million magic cells per day. The journey was uneventful as they had taken a major hyperlane to reach Aleen. All the major hyperlanes were strictly guarded and only the most powerful pirate groups operated on it. They mainly targeted merchant transporters so Alexander's ship was not stopped. Alexander was awakened from his meditation by a crew member and informed that they would reach Aleen in one day. Alexander had awaken 1.2 Billion magic cells during this session.

Alexander freshened himself up and started thinking about all the facts he had known about this world. Alexander started from the Phantom Menace to Revenge of Sith as Alexander had no plans of having Darth Sidius as an emperor of this galaxy. The day his master would be killed by him, would be also the day on which he dies. As Alexander was thinking about the events of the timeline, he thought of the most dangerous person of the galaxy, Qwi Xux. She was a female Omwati who was conditioned by a imperial general under Sheev to develop superweapons for the empire. Alexander did not bother to remember the overly complicated military structure used by the galactic empire of Palapatine. Qwi Xux was the designer of all the superweapons of the empire and also, the strongest material of the star wars universe, the quantum crystalline armor. Alexander did not have the technology to produce this material yet so he turned his attention towards Phrik.

Alexander was informed that they have arrived and were given clearance to land. As Alexander was acting as the part of a somewhat rich scion. The leeches of galaxy present on this planet had requested to meet him. Alexander was confused but was told that the members of Trade Federation were called this term behind the close doors.

Alexander asked, " Are there any Jedi on this planet?"

The captain informed him that one cannot be sure of the presence of the Jedi as they liked to move undetected and unhindered throughout the galaxy. The fast starships used by the Jedi made it somewhat difficult to track their movements. Alexander then thought about how every mob class villain was able to track the Jedi in the movies and give them many troubles and fell in thought whether the standards of Jedi had fallen or the criminals had upgraded themselves. Alexander personally thought that it was a mixture of both.

Alexander moved to the deck when the ship came out of the hyperspace. Aleen was a planet which was bigger than earth and had a temperate climate throughout it's surface. It's two native species were at war in the distant past. Alexander wanted to conquer this planet for three reasons. This planet was on a trade route which made it very valuable; the second was the great seal which separated the surface world and the underground world, Alexander wanted to know how it does that; the third was the other native species of this planet, Kindalo. Nothing was known about these fellows but Alexander knew that the species was much more advanced than shown in the books. When the great seal got broken during the clone wars, the underworld species was able to fight on equal grounds with the Aleena who had Galactical contact for hundreds of years. This meant that their technology was of Galactical standards despite having no contact with the outside world. This proved their might.

Alexander descended from the ship and arrived at a luxury hotel. Alexander was given a suite. Alexander left the crew members to deal with the natives and arrived at the ground floor. Alexander covered the whole planet with his king's might and found that the great seal was indeed a seal powered by force which acted as a barrier between the two worlds of Aleen. The great seal was the central matrix of a huge seal which spanned the whole planet. Alexander didn't push past the seal and first conquered the surface world of Aleen. Alexander felt a total of 12 Billion people added as his subjects. Alexander now pushed past the seal and sensed the underground world. The Kindalo were connected to the seal and sensed his probing. The leaders of their race looked up and asked what he wanted from them. Alexander just told them that he wanted their people to submit or he will open all the passages to the surface world by destroying the seal. Alexander gave them one day to consider. Alexander, by his probing, had sensed that they did not have any means to contact for help and their technology revolved around energy weapons. As they could not leave the underworld, they had not developed any space travelling technology. Alexander waited for one day and again asked the leaders. The leaders were not keen on waging war so they submitted. The Kindalians had a societal government and their act of submission was the act of their whole species. Alexander didn't find any other race beside them the underworld. Alexander claimed the whole planet after that. The Kindalo had a population of 25 Billion and all of them were connected to each other like a sort of hivemind.

Alexander then moved to meet his subjects who were the part of Trade Federation. Alexander ordered them to make a list of all the top 100 companies in all the sectors of the galaxy. The trade federation people nodded in acceptance and left. Alexander remained Aleen for a few days and then continued his luxury tour in the eyes of anyone watching. While staying on Aleen, Alexander as promised, returned back to his kingdom and took an update report from the scientists. The level of advancement his scientists with the help of the Ballastians reached was astonishing. As Alexander did not have enough time, he took a flash drive containing all the reports and moved back to Aleen. Alexander destroyed the realm gate and started to think of a suitable planet to establish a permanent realm gate. Alexander booted up his datapad and connected the drive to read about the advancement and was quite surprised at what he discovered.
