The Electronic Adjutant made arrangements, and B1 Battle Droids were awakened one by one, their internal AIs replaced with intelligent AIs designed to serve Mandalore, and they were then assigned to the hyperion.
These B1 Battle Droids transported completed equipment to the hyperion, placing it in Hangar Bay One. This included viking fighters, goliath droids, wraith fighters, hurricanes, newly constructed Rattlesnake Hovertanks, Banshee Fighters, and Medical Transports.
Inside Kot's office at the barracks:
"Commander, all preparations are complete. The hyperion is ready for departure," the Electronic Adjutant reported.
"Wait for me, I need to complete the handover of duties," Kot called Omen and Murto over.
"I need to undertake a secret mission, so I might be away from Vadiel for some time. All other matters will be entirely in your hands. Omen, you and Lei will be responsible for military affairs, and Uncle Four, you will manage the town completely. If there's an emergency, just speak to the Electronic Adjutant; she will relay the message for me."
"No problem, great nephew. Just watch me turn Vadiel into a metropolis," Murto declared confidently.
"Boss, do you not need someone to accompany you? After all, your safety is of the highest Rank."
"No need. Oh, and keep an eye on Bo-Katan. Don't let her just play with Shali in the barracks all day. When she has time, send her to the school in town to learn something. That's all." Kot couldn't think of anything else to say and simply dismissed the two.
"Then shall we depart now, Commander?" the Electronic Adjutant asked as she walked.
"By the way, how are the new Starbase and Heavy Factory construction coming along?" Kot didn't say anything else, but his steps were already heading towards the hyperion.
"Four Starbases have been completed, two of which have already reached the asteroid belt. In the asteroid belt, we discovered a lot of fuel, and also some minerals essential for shipbuilding. Although not abundant, they are enough to support us in building a fleet. Mining operations have already begun. Construction of the Thor has started in the two newly built Heavy Factories, but progress is still relatively slow," the Electronic Adjutant said, following behind and updating him on the latest situation.
"Does that mean we can build a new behemoth-class battlecruiser or a higher Rank strategic cruiser?" Kot wanted to quickly acquire his second battlecruiser.
"That's right, Commander. At the current construction speed, we will have a brand new behemoth-class battlecruiser in a year. Also, I discovered an experimental project within the System, an advanced form of the Starbase, a structure called a Starbase. It is larger than a Starbase and builds ships faster." The Electronic Adjutant recalled some shelved plans she had seen within the System, one of which was the Starbase.
"Then, are you capable of perfecting it?"
"It's very simple, Commander. I just need to load Rory Swann's personality to perfect it," the Electronic Adjutant said, beginning calculations and arranging for other SCVs to attempt modifications to Starbase Two.
"Very good." Soon, they arrived at the hyperion's docking area.
"Board the ship. Head to Kamino. Order an army to prepare for the future." Kot walked to the bridge, inputting Kamino's coordinates, while the other B1 Battle Droids began operations, causing the hyperion, this thousand-meter-long behemoth, to ascend from Vadiel's forest.
"Is it dark? Is it going to rain?" A resident looked up at the sky and then witnessed an unforgettable scene.
"This is!"
"Is this the Boss's hidden ultimate weapon!"
"This scale definitely makes it a cruiser!"
"I didn't expect the Sundari, which the Commander forbade us from entering, to hide such a monster!"
"Mandalore's revival is within reach!"
As the hyperion ascended, its enormous shadow completely covered the barracks, astonishing the people within. This overwhelming sense of oppression, in this era of great peace, meant ordinary people would rarely see such a massive spaceship. This was a mobile Starbase!
"Did you know there was something like this on Vadiel?" Murto asked Omen, looking at the hyperion in the sky.
Omen was dumbfounded at this moment. He knew the Boss was hiding things from them, but he had no idea his Boss had concealed such a monster. Although he knew his Boss's equipment wasn't something he researched himself, but rather left to him by his parents, this? This could also be left behind! It was too outrageous. Why even fight a civil war back then? One shot would have directly killed Tor Vizsla!
But he still calmed down, and Kot's importance in his heart had reached an irreplaceable level. He responded to Murto, "I don't know, but this matter must not be spread outside Vadiel."
"I know that, of course. I'll go back and immediately tell people not to spread it," Murto also knew the importance of the matter and quickly returned to the town to arrange for people to handle it.
All the Mandalorians in the barracks were in a state of euphoria. Such a magnificent ship was perfectly suited for them! And they all reported to their Commander, requesting to serve on that ship!
But what they didn't know was that their Commander wanted to as well!
Pre Vizsla, who was leading a squad in training, also saw the hyperion. He instantly froze in place as if struck by lightning, then shouted on the ground, "Clan Chief, invincible! Mandalore will surely be revived!"
The squad members, seeing this, also followed suit and shouted on the ground. Instantly, all the recruits on the training ground started doing the same, leaving the drill sergeant dumbfounded. Should I shout or not?
While such things were happening on Vadiel, Kot was completely unaware of it. But a major event was also unfolding at the Trade Federation headquarters.
Inside Nute Gunray's office, a black-robed man held a holographic projector.
"Council Member Gonrey, I think you need some help," Sidious said, looking at Nute Gunray through the device.
"Lord Sidious, I want to take the position of Trade Federation Viceroy. I need your power now."
"No need for such formality. You and I have a mutually beneficial partnership."
"I want them all to disappear."
"That's very simple, Council Member Gonrey. My apprentice will help you accomplish these things. You just have to wait to become the master of the Trade Federation."
"Thank you for your help, Lord Sidious." Sidious then ended the call.
"I will help kill all your enemies!" Vos looked up at Nute Gunray.
"Don't stare at me so fiercely. Let's start with this one. I want to see him disappear tonight!" Nute Gunray pointed at the human male in the image.
"Tomorrow you will no longer see this person, but remember your promise, or your fate will be the same as his." Vos used The Force to lift Nute Gunray directly, then threw him onto the sofa and walked out the door.
The door closed, and Nute Gunray glared fiercely at the departing Korian Vos. "Damn Jabiimite, you will pay the price!" But then he suddenly saw the bounty he himself had personally sent out.
