2100, Talon-Calder.
Galactic Republic, outer ring, asteroid belt near planet Quel.
A modified Gozanti-class armed cargo ship was traversing through the asteroid belt with great agility. This armed cargo ship far exceeded the original model in terms of speed and firepower. Moreover, the person controlling the ship was obviously an expert. Even though there were asteroids everywhere, under the control of this person, the large asteroids were avoided and the small asteroids were smashed, trying not to be affected by these obstacles.
"Turn the energy of the energy shield at the rear to the maximum! Clichy, go control the turret, don't let their fighters get close! Shi Mingdong! If you and Torth can't repair the hyperspace engine in ten minutes, then we're all finished! "Talon-Calder roared loudly.
"I know! But it's useless no matter how loudly you shout now! " Shi Mingdong was busy in the cabin with a Rodian while yelling into the communicator. On the other side of the console, Clichy was switching the turret to semi-automatic aiming mode and continuously firing at the pursuers behind.
Behind them, a fleet of more than a dozen spaceships of various sizes was in hot pursuit, and in the middle of these spaceships was a Hammerhead-class cruiser. Although this cruiser was designed thousands of years ago, it was still very practical, and it was obvious that this Hammerhead-class cruiser had been modernized and its performance was no less than some of the current military warships.
On the hull of these spaceships, a black sun logo was sprayed — this was the Black Sun fleet!
"Separate! Separate! Flank from the left and right! Capture them alive! " On the bridge of the Hammerhead-class cruiser, a man with a height of at most 1.5 meters, dark skin, muscular, and a ferocious look was shouting loudly. His hairstyle was very strange, his entire head was shaved, but the hair on the top of his forehead was kept and tied into a braid.
This person was called Perry, one of the nine Vigors of Black Sun. He had personally come to pursue Talon-Calder and the others.
Under his order, the other dozen or so spaceships began to split into two groups and prepared to bypass the asteroid belt from above, below, and from the sides. Their current target, the audacious Gozanti-class armed cargo ship, had suffered considerable damage. There was no way they could outrun their undamaged ships!
Perry, on the other hand, waved his fist and roared, "Turn up the energy shield to the maximum and charge straight in! We can't let them get away!! "
His subordinates immediately did as they were told. The Hammerhead-class cruiser suddenly began to accelerate, slamming into the asteroid belt. One by one, the small planets were smashed into smithereens in front of the battleship. Although the battleship was also constantly shaking and was almost unable to stand firmly, the battleship had actually managed to charge in and was not damaged at all!
The Hammerhead-class cruiser was designed a few thousand years ago. It was 315 meters long and was the main warship of the Galactic Republic during the war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. Back then, the space battles were much more brutal and direct. Limited by the weak energy shields and mediocre laser cannons, the warships of both sides were very close to each other, almost within 50 kilometers. Compared to the current era where battles started from a distance of 500 kilometers, it was a face-to-face battle.
Therefore, the Hammerhead-class cruiser's diamond-shaped tip, which looked like a giant axe, was equipped with very heavy armour. It was designed to ram into the enemy at the right time. In fact, during the Sith War, there were indeed many brave and fearless captains of the Republic who piloted the Hammerhead-class cruiser into the enemy and perished together.
Now, this design for crashing into enemy warships was being used by Viggo Perry to quickly pass through the asteroid belt and catch up to Talon Calder's spaceship!
"Is the hyperspace engine not fixed yet? That big warship is catching up!! Clichy, fire at that warship!! "Talon Calder shouted as he skillfully piloted the spaceship.
Under Clichy's control, the Gozanti-class armed cargo ship's firepower was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary military warship! The eight laser turrets on both sides of the hull kept firing. What was even more insane was that the quadruple laser turret originally installed at the rear of the hull to protect the engine and the cargo hold had now been modified by Talon Calder into a turbo laser cannon!!
Of course, with Talon Calder's connections, it was impossible to obtain such fleet-class armaments that were never sold to the public, and it was Shi Mingdong who had asked his' old friend 'to help him bring it over. This old friend was naturally Tang Yu, but Talon Calder did not know that.
It was the power of this turbo laser cannon that made Perry hesitate in his pursuit. After all, this kind of powerful weapon was usually only equipped on heavy warships. If it was used against his second-hand warships, it would be fine if it did not hit, but if it did hit, it would either die or be severely injured!
Under the attack of the turbo laser cannon, the pilot of the Hammerhead-class cruiser panicked and tried to dodge. However, Perry strode forward and slapped the pilot in the face and roared, "Even if it's a turbo laser cannon, it doesn't matter! How big is that Gozanti-class armed cargo ship? How much energy can it unleash? Ram it!! Don't let them get away!! "
The pilot had no choice but to muster up his courage and charge forward!
On the Gozanti-class armed cargo ship, looking at the busy Talon Calder and his men, a sinister voice suddenly came from a corner, "Hehehehe … you can't escape! Do you really think you can kidnap a Vigo from the hands of Black Sun? Hehehehe!! "
The one who spoke was a Hutt! He had purple stripes on his body and a feather headdress on his forehead. By the standards of the Hutt, he could even be said to be somewhat charming. But look carefully, it was' he ', not' she '!! The Hutts weren't divided into genders, but apart from giving birth, they were all males.
"Shut up!! Ziro!! " Talon Calder roared. He turned to an Aesop beside him and said, "Treat our guest to some coffee!!"
It turned out that this Hutt was one of the Nine Vigos of Black Sun, Ziro! He was also a thorn in the side of the Hutt Council, and they wanted nothing more than to get rid of him. However, because of Black Sun's relationship with some corrupt officials of the Galactic Republic, he was sheltered in Coruscant, and the Hutt Council could not do anything about it.
The Aesop stood up, walked to the counter, picked up a pot of freshly brewed coffee, and directly poured it on Ziro's body! Even with the thick skin of a Hutt, being drenched in hot coffee was definitely not a good feeling. Ziro cried out in pain from the heat, and finally calmed down.
As for why Talon Calder and Shi Mingdong were being hunted down by Black Sun, and why one of the Nine Vigos of Black Sun, Ziro the Hutt, would appear on their ship, it all started from a month ago.
At that time, the battle of Jabim had just ended, and the war on planet Kristovsis had just started. This war seemed to have nothing to do with Talon Calder …
