Just like that, another day passed by in a blink of an eye while we were in transit on our way toward Planet Toydaria. Adam said it would take a couple days to arrive there from the entire trip of going from the Core Worlds back into the outskirts of the Mid Rim. Considering we were able to bypass literally all of the traffic and its checkpoints, the trip was pretty smooth overall, only requiring a couple days. Man, I'm so glad I have this gunship. Navigating the galaxy is going to be such a breeze. I just need to be careful of our surroundings, we can't bump into anyone while the cloaking is engaged.
And as the name implies, Planet Toydaria is part of the Toydaria System. It lies northeast from the Core Worlds and we used one of the five major trade lanes before jumping into a minor lane to reach it. We're now past Kashyyyk. We'll be going all the way to the outskirts of the Mid Rim. Directly beyond here will be more checkpoints I'll have to be careful flying into, as it will be much more dangerous than my present situation.
After all, what lies beyond to the east from here is the Hutt Space. In due time, it will absorb the Toydaria System into its clutches, and by the Hutt Cartel no less. You see, during the Clone Wars, a tragedy does take place, one that I'm interested in preventing. King Katuunko gets assassinated by Count Dooku by ordering one of his future underlings to launch the attack. A man who went by the name Savage Opress, a Nightbrother of Planet Dathomir.
Planet Dathomir is quite lore heavy in the continuity of Star Wars, and has a big role in the Clone Wars. It gave birth to Darth Maul, and Savage Opress is his brother. The two act as a duo in secrecy to benefit Darth Maul's plans during the war. It goes as far as taking King Katuunko's life.
See where I'm going with this? I might hint at this if we hold a discussion later. He could "hire" me once the time comes, and I'll swoop in and save his life. But if I do this, I'll be clashing against one of the most dangerous and unpredictable characters of the Sith. I quite like Maul as a character, and he has one of the best voice actors of the entire show. Honestly speaking, seeing as I'm going to be a bounty hunter, he very well may try to recruit me for his so-called plans. And I even recall that he was going to get his own series in the future before my previous life ended in a blink of an eye.
Do I want to place such a target on my back?
I don't know, but how cool would it be to fight a Sith like that?
Either way, I will probably meet this guy in the coming year or two. As far as the Hutt Space goes, I'll need to be on the lookout where I fly. It will be quite unpredictable, considering encountering space pirates and fellow bounty hunters is common there.
I stretched my arms while recalling some more memorable fights Darth Maul had against the Jedi and the Republic. I'm here now, so I'm sure things will change with my presence. I don't think my presence will be enough to change entire plot lines, but hey, we'll see. Right now I can't use the Force, but that could end up changing if I venture into Planet Kamino.
I mean, I know Chancellor Palpatine is Darth Sidious. What if I walk up onto his doorstep, and just blast a hole straight through his chest with a charged Power Beam? That'd take out a lot of the plot right then and there, and prevent the birth of Darth Vader. But that sounds boring, you know?
After stretching around some, I felt a little breeze from the ventilation strike against my body while I shifted toward the edge of the bed. I glanced down again, and saw my breasts jiggle. I almost forgot I was pretty much naked while I slept, so I proceeded to take a hot shower in the bathroom nearby. Stepping out, I used the food synthesizer again, and whipped myself up a nice English-style breakfast, the entire kit. I scarfed it down, and I felt amazed even more so than the previous time. It's pretty much the real thing, and I for sure could turn this into a business!
Dressed in my Zero Suit, I decided to do a little test. To my surprise, I can actually materialize my arm cannon while still in my Zero Suit. Okay, now this is fun. I also realized my hair was pretty wet from the shower I just had, so I pointed the cannon toward it, and felt some heat start hitting against my wet hair while I enjoyed some breakfast.
[...Are you really using the residual energy of your arm cannon to dry off your hair, Samus?] Adam's voice asked, reaching out to me. Looks like he discovered I was awake.
"Hey bro, it's my life. I get these little perks for being Samus. Get used to it.", I retorted, allowing my hair to dry in such a manner.
[That definitely isn't something a lady would say, Samus.] Adam retorted back.
"Correction. I used to be a man, Adam. It's already enough not having my d*ck anymore. I'm still getting used to squatting down on toilets.", I said.
[Or so you say. Either way, you are Samus before me. Once you're geared up and ready, head inside the cockpit. We will be entering Planet Todyaria's atmosphere soon, and I'm sure you'll want to see the planet with your own eyes.] Adam continued before his feed cut off from the intercom. I was still in my Personal Quarters, so it's not like I could see him.
But my eyes lit up nonetheless. My first planet descent. How exciting! I will be dropping by unannounced, King Katuunko won't know that I'll be coming. But seeing as he holds me in high regard for saving his life and even went as far as giving me a detailed star chart and several bounty fobs as thanks, I'm sure he'll welcome me with warm arms. Or claws, in his case?
Most Toydarians are traders and barters. They do business on both sides of the coin, whatever brings in more profit. In a way, they're very similar to the Trade Federation, and I think His Majesty even holds a seat within the Trade Federation? That might be something worth pursuing. I know I said I likely won't mingle with the Trade Federation, but I'm sure they've a lot of targets painted on their backs. I'm sure they'd pay hefty amounts to have someone get rid of them.
And that points toward me~
I just hope these Toydarians aren't part of the Legends counterpart where they are much more ruthless and untrustworthy. You can't trust them, they often clash amongst their local tribes. Hopefully it's a more unified nation. I'll have to see that with my own eyes.
After ending breakfast and drying my hair off, I willed the arm cannon to vanish, and allowed my full Power Suit to appear once again. I kept it as my Gravity Suit. I'll be entering a swamp-like planet that also contains what are muck lakes. Trust me, you don't want to dive into those. They're swamps, but much worse, and they gather a literal shit ton of green algae to its surface. It's as if the planet is covered entirely with Zoro's hair, haha!
To make it worse, it creates a lot of mist, so if we hang around the surface while we do our descent, visibility will become extremely limited. Toydarians create their nests above these lakes, and we'll need to seek one out. It's not like it's entirely made out of swamps, it has its own forests and mountains. By keeping my Gravity Suit, Gravity Booster, and Space Jump Boots on, it should help me maneuver around if we do happen to get stuck on the surface. Adam enhanced these beauties which now allows me to use them on any sort of surface, turning it into a forward and upward glide. I can move around very similarly to Mandalorians.
[Estimated arrival into the planet's atmosphere is five minutes. Perfect timing.] Adam said, calling out to me once I made my way to the cockpit. I sat down, and nodded my helmet. [We will be exiting hyperspace in just a moment. Brace yourself.]
