Chapter 221: Changes On Planet Naboo (1)
{Want to know why Star Wars: The Phantom Menace opens with the siege of Naboo? Here's why.}
A shuttle appeared silently from hyperspace and flew towards a beautiful planet.
Seen from the universe, this planet has a blue color, with a lot of green lands mixed in the middle. Obviously, it is a planet with very good natural environmental protection and no over-industrialization.
Planet Naboo.
The center of the storm.
Although there have been sudden changes in the planet Malastare, Cerea, or Tatooine recently, the core of the real interest chain is still on the peaceful planet Naboo.
The newly discovered plasma mine with huge reserves on the planet Naboo has become the real core of competition! This kind of plasma ore can be processed slightly to make a plasma bomb that can easily destroy a tank or even a small spaceship! Even if it is not used for military purposes, using this rare solid-state plasma for scientific research or industrial development is a very good raw material.
The potential of Planet Naboo is unparalleled!
Just before, it was announced in a high-profile manner that the N-1 interstellar fighter jointly developed by Naboo and Nubian Star Drive Company had completed its first flight. Ars Veruna, the king of Naboo who was at the pinnacle of his life, appeared Misfortune happened.
In fact, when the N-1 starfighter made its first flight and began to be installed in the Royal Air Force of Naboo, everyone could guess King Ars Veruna's next plan
Re-sign a trade agreement with the trade alliance, or even withdraw from the agreement directly, and find another home!
In order to ascend to the throne, King Ars Veruna did not hesitate to sell the interests of the planet and signed an unequal trade agreement with the Trade Federation in exchange for the support of the Trade Federation. Ironically, the future he promised his people in order to ascend to the throne relied on the plasma mine trade to improve the lives of the masses.
The Plasma Mine did make a lot of money, but that was the Trade Federation, not Naboo.
The former king Veruna seems to have been forgotten in this way, and the people don't seem to miss him. Because under the rule of Veruna, the environment of the planet Naboo was greatly damaged due to over-exploitation, and the relationship with the Gungans, another race on the planet, was so bad that it almost went to war. The most important thing is that the lives of the people have not improved, and they have even borne a heavier burden because of the N-1 starfighter research and development project.
But not everyone has forgotten about this man...
The shuttle directly entered the atmosphere of the planet Naboo. Because it adopted the most advanced defense identification code, the Royal Air Force did not intercept the spacecraft.
The spaceship flew directly into a deep mountain with a purpose, and the place was barren, with hardly any human habitation in sight. The spaceship began to descend, and as the altitude decreased, several houses built in the valley also appeared outside the window and gradually became clear.
The hatch opened, and Darth Plagueis, who was wearing a black cloak and holding a cane, stepped down first, followed by Tang Xiao, who was also wearing a black cloak.
These few houses are very simple, but they are also very neat and tidy. They were built using local materials and polished stone materials nearby. They are integrated with the surrounding environment, and it is generally not easy to be found.
However, walking into the house, a tangy smell of alcohol came oncoming, mixed with the smell of fermented food, which made people sick.
Darth Plagueis waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away all the wine bottles, garbage, and furniture in the house to the corners, and most of the smell dissipated.
In the bedroom inside, an old man was sleeping soundly on the bed wrapped in a quilt, still muttering to himself, not knowing what to say in sleep.
Looking at that pale face and sparse hair stubble, it is completely incomparable to the high-spirited bald head before. No one can connect such a bad old man with the former king of Naboo, Ars Veruna!
Darth Plagueis leaned his cane by the door, walked over, and then sat by Veruna's bed, watching him very quietly.
Veruna murmured and struggled as if in a nightmare, and then woke up suddenly. When he saw Darth Plagueis sitting beside his bed, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed almost heart-piercingly, "Wow...it's not me...it's not me... ...help...help!"
But Plagueis stroked his back very kindly, "Ah, my friend Veruna. What made you like this? This really makes me sad. You are also 50 years old. It's more important to take care of your body than power."
