On Vadiel, after a month of training, the operation of the hammerhead-class cruiser was finally completed skillfully. Eleven new A-wings, built from the spaceport, were also assembled and docked in the hammerhead-class cruiser's hangar. Two khmurlk-class light freighters, a specialty craft of Mandalore, were also equipped on the hammerhead-class.
At this moment, Governor Kote was giving his final speech before boarding.
"For the peace and stability of the Mandalorian System, and for the people to live happy lives, we must eliminate all pirates and wrongdoers in the Mandalorian System. These are our missions. However, due to certain reasons, we are forced to suppress them by acting as pirates. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes you all," Kote bowed on the stage.
Everyone below clapped enthusiastically in support.
"For Mandalore!"
"For Mandalore!"
"For Governor Kote!"
"This is the Righteous Path!"
"Then, all personnel, board the ship!" Kote waved his hand, and four hundred people marched grandly towards the ship, taking their positions. The hammerhead-class cruiser took off from Spaceport One on Vadiel, heading into the Universe.
Kote walked into the bridge and sat in the captain's chair, observing the Universe ahead. "Omen, give me the list of pirates who have dared to operate in the Mandalore Sector recently."
Omen handed over a datapad. "Boss, we've ranked them according to their strength and the extent of their disruptions."
Kote went straight to the first entry, which listed various pirates and their crimes in Mandalore.
"This one," Kote pointed to a Weequay pirate organization.
"They recently attacked Lys III and also our colony, but they were driven off by our local clan," Omen reported with detailed information.
"Enter hyperspace to Lys I," Kote gave the order.
The operator immediately input the coordinates and entered hyperspace. In just over ten minutes, they arrived in orbit around Lys I.
"Boss, the leader of the Weequay here is named Guido Rassel. Should we proceed with an orbital strike? We've already locked onto their settlement," Lei walked over to ask.
"No, first, we will issue a declaration to them. Send a communication."
The communications officer connected Kote to the pirate settlement below.
"Who's this, daring to disturb me, your lord?" The one-eyed Guido Rassel shouted loudly.
"Guido Rassel, did you attack Lys III two planetary days ago?" Kote asked the cyclops.
"That's right. Have you come for revenge?" Guido asked.
"No, I'm here to judge and plunder you. Look up at the sky," Kote told him to look up.
At this moment, the hammerhead-class cruiser had entered the atmosphere and was gradually approaching directly above the stronghold. The Weequay pirates on the ground watched the hammerhead-class above them.
"Next life, don't be a pirate!" Kote directly ordered free fire downwards. Eight laser cannons swept the ground from above, and a single round of firing destroyed most of the buildings.
"Root them out. If they live, they'll only seek revenge. Send people for ground clearance." Kote himself walked to a khmurlk-class light freighter, taking a small team directly to the destroyed camp for another sweep. Afterwards, two squads were dispatched for the final ground eradication.
Eighteen Mandalorian warriors and Kote descended to the ground from the air using jetpacks.
"Kill all survivors. Muto, you lead your squad in that direction, I'll search over here." Kote took out his Westar-35 blaster pistol and carefully began searching.
On the ground, many pirates who hadn't fully died were crushed under walls, but they were all killed by Kote's team with one shot to the head and two to the body. "May you be a good person in your next life," a team member said to a dead Weequay pirate.
Among the collapsed houses and tents, several surviving Weequay hid behind a wall, waiting for the two squads to leave before escaping. But they didn't realize someone had already spotted them.
Kote gestured, informing his squad that there were people behind the wall and to use a detonator. A member took out a detonator and quietly pressed it against the wall.
"Beep, beep, beep."
"It's over." Hearing the sound, the pirates looked at each other, knowing their lives were forfeit.
"Boom!" Instantly, a powerful explosion directly blew apart the wall and killed the Weequay. But to ensure they were dead, Kote still fired additional shots, as Weequay skin is very rough, and caution was paramount.
About ten minutes later, the other squad had completed their reconnaissance, confirming there were no living pirates left in the entire camp. Kote finally used The Force to sense his surroundings and found there were indeed no pirates. He left behind a Shriek-hawk symbol, then had the transport ship pick them up and return to the hammerhead-class cruiser.
Not long after returning to the bridge, a communications officer relayed a message.
"Commander, it's a communication request from Duchess Satine."
"Connect her immediately."
The moment the connection was made, Duchess Satine's image appeared before Kote. "Kote, the police force has completed training and can now be stationed in the colonies and on the satellites. You, as the supreme Commander, haven't even shown up yet." Satine was slightly annoyed; this was simply unacceptable.
"Alright, Cousin, I'll return to Mandalore immediately. I've been busy eradicating pirates in the sector recently and forgot about this." Kote suddenly remembered he also had a police force to oversee. Luckily, there hadn't been any cases yet, and they were still in training. Otherwise, this would have been a clear dereliction of duty.
"When you come back, take Bo-Katan with you. She's been causing trouble in Sundari every day, and everyone keeps bringing it up in meetings. You'll take her first then," Satine said, rubbing her head in exasperation. At that moment, little Bo-Katan rushed over and greeted him.
"Hello, little troublemaker," Kote also greeted her.
"So, come back as soon as possible, Kote. The police force still needs your arrangements," Satine pressed down on little Bo-Katan and ended the communication.
"You all heard that. Head to Mandalore," Kote commanded everyone.
In just an hour, Kote returned directly to the Mandalorian System. Kote and his men piloted a khmurlk-class light freighter back to Sundari and informed his Cousin about the matter.
So, at this moment, there were two handmaidens and Bo-Katan waiting for Kote's arrival on the landing pad.
As soon as Kote disembarked, he saw a little cannonball rush directly into his arms. "Ow, that really hurt!" Kote vigorously ruffled Bo-Katan's orange hair.
"It's okay, Cousin, you're much stronger than those old men in the government," Bo-Katan patted Kote's head and said.
At this moment, Kote truly felt that his Cousin didn't want him to manage the police force but rather to take this little one away; that was the real purpose. After all, children are naturally mischievous, let alone the sister of Sundari's ruler. No one could control the little one, nor dared to educate her.
"Sigh, just follow me for the next two days. Your sister doesn't want you anymore," Kote teased her.
Bo-Katan gave him a look as if he were an idiot. "That trick stopped working when I was three, okay?"
"Alright, then the Mandalore Dragon is coming!" Kote made a funny face to scare Bo-Katan.
