Chapter 604: Containment Measures

The planet they had just arrived on was a thriving and stable planet of commerce. It's not the same as the barren and crime-ridden Tatooine. The natural scenery here is good, the service industry with tourism as the core is quite developed, and the surface of the planet is full of magnificent man-made buildings and beautiful natural scenery.

The huge spaceport is bustling with people, and people of different races naturally meet and live in peace. In terms of the diversity of the prosperous and intelligent races, this place is comparable to the Citadel of the Mass Effect plane, and in terms of atmosphere, it is clearly more peaceful.

Before landing, the boat also skimmed over some natural and ecological reserves, where large grasslands, flowers and magnificent waterfalls show that this is a famous tourist destination.

This is another famous location in the Star Wars world, the planet Naboo. As the birthplace of another important character, it is the location of many important episodes from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, where the famous Clone Wars first broke out.

In Das. Before Vaida became what he is now, he was the nominal Jedi Master Anakin. Skywalker. At that time, Nabu Star was also his home, or rather his wife, Padmé. Amidala's home.

As the planet's former queen, Padme was an active politician in the Galactic Republic during her lifetime. It is very important that Vida has become what he is today, and Cheng Dù is inseparable from his famous wife.

If it weren't for saving his wife's life, he would never have fallen into the dark side so lightly when he was still a promising Jedi master, and mixed up to the point where this person is not a ghost or a ghost, and it is extremely difficult to even recognize his son.

Due to Padme's high reputation in her own territory during her lifetime, her body was carefully preserved after her death and placed in a crystal coffin for posterity to see. The reason why Sister Xue appeared here was because of this fact.

Judging by what happened to Master Chief they before. Vida is a very big threat to their actions. Such a super-perceptive person, able to sense danger across star sectors, and can almost see future enemies that they will be difficult to defeat by force.

But the seemingly powerful Vader also has his own weaknesses, and a person like him who can fall into darkness for the sake of his feelings is undoubtedly very private and emotional. Judging from the subsequent plot in the movie, Vader is not completely loyal to the Empire or the Emperor.

When his son's life was in danger, he could even attack the emperor to whom he was loyal without hesitation. Becomes Darth again. Before Vida. He also listened to the emperor's lies, thinking that studying the dark force could save his wife.

In this case, as long as the expedition can grasp this emotional weakness of his, there will be a room for relaxation when they encounter him almost inevitably in the future. Optimistic estimates, it is even possible to turn Vida from an enemy into a friend.

The specific approach is not particularly complicated, because the scientific research institutions of the expedition have been very successful in the field of biomedicine, and have long mastered the technology of resurrecting the dead. So they can use life itself as a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts.

Although the technology itself is not very perfect, it has never been used on people who have been dead for decades. But if they can get Padmé's body and succeed in resurrecting her. She'll be a big bargaining chip.

Since Vader could oppose the Emperor for his son, who had only met him a few times and had almost killed him, it was impossible for him to ignore his beloved deceased wife. In order to verify this possibility, Sister Xue decided to come to Nabu Star to see it in person.

As Master Chief began her plan to seize the ship ahead of schedule, she felt that it was necessary for her to speed up her actions so as not to lose the opportunity to seize this bargaining chip in the course of later operations. Her strategy was quite successful, and they didn't attract anyone's attention as tourists.

The former queen's mausoleum is located on the site of her former palace. With a large number of tourists, they entered the palace and saw the queen's body in the crystal coffin up close near the mausoleum.

I don't know what kind of preservation technology was used. Queen Amidara in the crystal coffin didn't look like a dead person, although her face was pale. Her eyes are closed, but lying in the middle of the layers of bouquets, she is like a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale, giving people the illusion that she is just asleep in a crystal coffin.

Perhaps the previous queen has been out of office for a long time and has gradually been forgotten, and the mausoleum is not visited by many tourists. A small number of tour guides also led the group to other places after only a short stop here, and only a few people who came to pay their respects stayed here to see the queen's remains.

After the death of Queen Amidala, the royal family could not continue because there were no public descendants. So Nabu carried out a round of political reforms, and a new democratically elected government came to power. The new parliamentary government did not like the legacy of the previous empress and the royal family.

But. Under popular pressure and a mysterious pressure from the upper echelons of the empire, it was impossible for the new government to immediately dismantle the many legacies left by the previous queen or simply bury the queen's body. Therefore, they finally decided to make full use of the resources at their disposal, and the original palace was developed into a tourist area, and the former queen was put in a crystal coffin for people to admire.

Since the new government doesn't think anyone is going to do anything big to a former queen who has died, the number of security guards in the mausoleum is small and vigilant. Under such circumstances, Sister Xue and the others were able to reconnoiter the scene very easily, and as close to the crystal coffin as possible, they roughly checked the state of the remains inside.

"How?" Sister Xue asked softly about the medical soldiers in her team, and the other party carefully hid a small detection instrument in his hand, which could roughly confirm the environmental conditions of the body in the crystal coffin.

"It's not bad, judging from the number of scans, her body is quite well preserved. All organs are in place, the crystal coffin is filled with inert gas, and the internal temperature is close to absolute zero. If she's been in this environment all these years, there's a good hope that we can resurrect her......" The medic replied quietly, putting away his equipment.

There is room in the words of the medical soldiers, although the results of this round of testing are very optimistic, but the former queen in the crystal coffin has been dead for 20 years after all. No one can guarantee that the medical units in the rear will be able to successfully resuscitate the person who has been dead for so long.

"Good! Sister Xue said with a slight smile on her face, for her, this answer was good enough. After confirming that it was theoretically feasible to resurrect Queen Amidala, she immediately led the team to leave the place quickly, and went to the other areas of the palace to carefully visit or investigate.

She had already decided to lead the team back later that night and steal Queen Amidala's body. It is not particularly important how much time it will take in the rear, or whether or not the former queen of Naboo can be resurrected, but the important thing is that with this body, they have a hold on Vida.

While she plots to steal the body of the former Queen of Naboo, Vader is in a state of Force induction chaos in a barren galaxy tens of thousands of light-years away. On the one hand, combined with the report of an unmanned Probe of the Empire, he had just used Force Induction to identify the rebels' latest hiding place.

On the other hand, Vida, who was meditating, sensed another wave that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The last time he sensed a similar fluctuation in the Force was before his wife died, and he sensed it every time Padma was in distress or in a big change.

However, this should have been impossible, after all, his wife had been dead for more than 20 years, and it stands to reason that a dead person would no longer cause fluctuations in the Force. And Vader was pretty sure that his wife was dead.

Padmé's ability to be preserved in a crystal coffin after death and his interference, as he had seen the body of his deceased wife up close, and Padmé's death was in no doubt for him.

"Your Excellency...... My lord, what should we do? The Imperial officer next to him asked, and it was strange to them that Vader had stopped for a few seconds after receiving their report and had not given a new order. On weekdays, the lord has never been so hesitant.

Their inquiry brought Vader back from his musings, and after some consideration, he decided not to think about it. His wife is dead, but his son is only one step away.

He had used Force sensing to determine that Luke was on the remote planet they had just discovered. At such a time, he did not have much energy to think about some "impossible" things, and thinking of this, he gave a clear order to set off.

"Set the course to Hoth, the rebels are there, make sure everyone is ready for battle......"

His orders were effectively carried out, although the fleet commander himself did not agree with Vida's judgment. But everyone knew that it was stupid to disobey Vader's orders, so the fleet soon began a collective hyperspace jump, aiming straight for the planet Hoth, where the rebels were located.

On Tatooine's side, the Master Chief's mission to capture the ship was also coming to an end. After several hours of waiting, order on the second Star Destroyer was completely disrupted. The aliens in the bodies of the previous batch of Imperial troops who were attacked by the face-hugging monsters all broke out one after another, and the expedition team hiding in the cabin on the ground floor put a large number of aliens that had grown into the ship to continue to deepen the chaos.

With the reluctant cooperation of the Alien Mother, these aliens acted separately and attracted the main force of the Imperial Army to the area where the expedition needed. Although chased by the Imperial Army, the aliens that were thrown over were wiped out in a very long way. However, the tactical effect required by the Master Chief had been achieved, and the Imperial Army on the ship thought that they had suffered some new type of biological disaster, and did not activate the emergency plan for being attacked. (To be continued......)
