Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

"Who is she? Do you know her?" Asoka looked warily at the figure in the screen.

"I don't know her. I only know that she is also a bounty hunter who once tried to kidnap Omega on Pantora," Lance explained.

"Could she be in cahoots with Bane?"

"It doesn't seem like it... otherwise they should have come in together."

Langston paused, then said, "Let's go grab her and get to the bottom of this."

The two walked out of the command room again and, unsurprisingly, captured the bounty hunter who had invaded the base.

"Who are you? And what is your purpose in being here?"

"Fennek Shand." Fennek looked at Lance in surprise. "I didn't expect you to be a Jedi. Why didn't you take out your lightsaber last time?"

Even though Lance had applied colored glaze to his face last time, and the lighting was dim, she still remembered that face.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Lance ignored him and continued his interrogation.

"I received a commission from Nara Sai of the Kamino to sabotage Cade Bain's mission."

Lance and Ahsoka exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.

The clients are both Kaminoans, one is the prime minister and the other is a genetic engineering expert, yet their purposes are completely opposite.

Why do Kamino people want Omega?

"have no idea."

"You bounty hunters really do have professional ethics," Ahsoka snorted, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"These are the rules of the Bounty Hunters Guild," Finneke shrugged. "I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

Why?

"While the robot was leaving the spaceship, I checked the communication logs and found an encrypted message. I think the meaning is self-evident. This base is no longer safe; a large number of enemies may already be on their way."

"You came here to tell us this?"

"Not entirely... You've already captured Bane? I want to make a deal with you."

Ahsoka crossed his arms and looked at her warily: "Why should we believe you?"

"This is a win-win deal. You should be familiar with Count Dooku, right? I have reliable intelligence that the Empire is confiscating the war wealth Dooku left behind on his home planet Sereno, and Bain has control over the timing and route of an Imperial cargo ship's transport. As long as we obtain this intelligence, we can seize the cargo ship at a crucial juncture..."

Finneke continued, "That's an unimaginable fortune, enough to satisfy all of us. With that money, I wouldn't need to be a bounty hunter anymore... I don't think anyone would refuse, right?"

"Is this why you came to find us?"

"That's right, this is a challenge that requires teamwork to complete. After thinking it over, you guys are the most reliable. After all... there are wanted posters for you all over the Empire, so you shouldn't betray me, right?"

Finneke removed her helmet, revealing a head of beautiful hair, and winked at Lance.

Ahsoka unconsciously clenched his fists.

I felt a pang of sadness, and I really wanted to punch her in the face.

Lance was indeed somewhat interested in this collaboration.

Both his team and the rebel army needed a lot of money to develop steadily.

Fuel, weapons and ammunition, spaceship maintenance, food and medical supplies for personnel, etc., all require credits.

If they can successfully hijack the Empire's cargo ships, this funding will make their subsequent operations much smoother.

But all of this is predicated on the fact that what Fennek said is true.

"Aren't you afraid the Empire will come after you for doing this?"

"What's a little trouble compared to the absolute benefits... I can just hide in the Hutt territory."

"You're giving us information so easily, aren't you being a little too confident? Aren't you afraid we'll turn against you?"

Fennek smiled confidently: "Just as I said, I need help. Similarly, you can't steal the Empire's cargo ships without my help. Even if you do, you'll pay a heavy price."

Lance frowned, his gaze meeting Ahsoka's, and they reached a silent understanding.

"Bain is indeed in our hands, but we can put the cooperation on hold for now."

......

In the command center.

The hunter and the Clearing King stared intently at Fennek, their eyes filled with suppressed anger and vigilance.

Fennek waved his hand: "Relax, we just had a little misunderstanding. Omega, we meet again."

Thinking of his experience on Pantora, Omega timidly hid behind the King of Clearance.

"Hmph, you better behave yourself and don't even think about touching Omega." The Clearing King raised his fist in a show of force.

On the other side...

The technician displayed the information copied from Todo's memory bank: "This robot sent a distress signal, but couldn't find out who the other party was, only a place name was found—The Roost."

"Is that the Mandalorian secret space station located in the outer ring Bitross star system?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lance's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Although it's unclear how Cade Bane got involved with the Mandalorians, the galaxy is so vast that anything can happen.

"That's right, I think this base has to be abandoned."

The technician adjusted his glasses and analyzed meticulously, "Although with our robot army and manpower, we can defend this base without any problem, the commotion of the battle will inevitably attract the attention of the Empire. Worse still, they might join forces with the Empire, and then this base will become our prison."

Lance sighed.

He understood this principle, of course, but he felt a little sorry for this secret base.

Lance made a decisive decision: "Order all robots to board the frigate, and at the same time, move as much valuable stuff as possible out of the base. We'll depart in one hour."

"Yes, Master."

The tactical robot emitted an electronic sound and its eyes flashed a few times.

Command sent.

Immediately, all the robots in the base began to work busily.

"What happened? How did our boss come back to life? How did the Jedi become our new boss and assign us such a strange mission?"

B1's not-so-smart smart chip seems to be a bit overloaded and can't accept this reversal for the time being.

"Who knows... These are the new boss's orders, just do as they say."

A B1 engine doesn't care at all. It doesn't matter who it works for, since they don't even get paid. They're lucky if they get regular maintenance and some oil.

"That's true... You're so smart, you'll definitely become a commander someday."

An hour later.

Lance released Finnek: "We'll contact you later about the cooperation."

He hadn't gained her trust yet, so of course he couldn't let her board the frigate.

What if she secretly detonates the ammunition depot and destroys the entire ship?

Lance and Ahsoka's group took the elevator to the secret vault below the base and boarded the escort ship.

At this time, nearly 10,000 robots had entered the ship's cabin, with 90% of them folded up and put into hibernation mode, leaving only about 100 robots to maintain the ship's basic operation and maintenance.

On the bridge.

The technician starts the engine.

Several powerful blue plumes of flame erupted from the frigate's stern thrusters.

After a low hum, all the devices lit up.

After entering a key, the gate above slowly opened.

"Sir, all procedures are normal, and we are ready to take off at any time."

Lance waved his hand:

"Set off!"
