The veronia continued to travel through an unknown hyperspace lane, and the mood of everyone on board was mixed.
Although Second Princess Sesia had experienced many dangers, her eyes revealed a sense of excitement and anticipation, as if she could see the dawn of the future for the Hapan Cluster. Visa and the First Mate stared fixedly at the instrument panel, praying to escape this uncertain route as soon as possible.
"Captain, according to current navigation parameters, we are highly likely to be cast into some unknown region on the edge of the Mandalorian System." The First Mate's voice carried a hint of worry.
Visa frowned. "Unknown region? That's troublesome. I don't know what dangers might be waiting for us there, but since things have come to this, we can only play it by ear."
Meanwhile, on the Hyperion, Kote Vizsla was anxiously waiting for contact with the veronia. He knew deeply that the defection of Second Princess Sesia was of great significance to Mandalore, and he could not let her and his crew fall into a desperate situation.
"Adjutant, continue trying to contact the veronia, and at the same time, have the fleet ready to depart at any moment. Once there is news, we will immediately head out to provide support." Kote Vizsla gave the order decisively.
"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant continued to contact the veronia.
Meanwhile, in the city of Taa Chume on the Hapes Cluster, after Taa Chume learned that the Mandalorians had escaped with her damned sister, she was furious.
"Damn Mandalorians, and that bitch Sesayia, to think they let them escape! General Dourde, you must catch them as soon as possible, otherwise our plan will be completely ruined!"
General Dourde agreed.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, those Mandalorians just got lucky. I have already dispatched more Vulture Droids to search along the routes where they might appear. Once their tracks are discovered, we will eliminate them immediately."
Taa Chume calmed down slightly.
"I hope so. General Dourde, you must remember that we are now in the same boat. If the plan fails, you will not have a good end either."
Dourde cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he respectfully said, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly not disappoint you."
Four days later, the veronia finally ended its hyperspace voyage and appeared in a strange Star Domain. The planets here emitted a weird light, and the surrounding space seemed to hide some unknown power.
"Captain, we have arrived!" The First Mate shouted excitedly.
Visa stood up, walked to the observation window, and looked at the strange scene outside. "What place is this? It feels a bit wrong."
Second Princess Sesia also walked over, looking outside curiously. "This doesn't look like a planet within the Mandalorian System. Could it be that we were really cast into an unknown region?"
Just then, an alarm sounded suddenly.
"Captain, unidentified fluctuations have been detected nearby. It seems some kind of danger is approaching!" A crew member watching the radar shouted.
On the other side, a crew member was investigating where they were.
Visa immediately became tense. "All crew members, enter combat status and prepare to deal with potential threats!"
The crew members acted quickly and took their positions. Visa gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, staring firmly outside the observation window.
"This is the MZX33291 System, a star System within the Kanz Sector!" The crew member investigating their location exclaimed.
"What place?!" Visa had never heard of it and looked puzzled.
A ship taking off from a planet within this System was approaching the veronia, but it looked like a piece of space coral.
As the other party got closer and closer, everyone on the veronia still did not understand that the enemy had arrived, and were still struggling with why there was only a signal but no enemy to be seen.
"Captain! Look!" The First Mate pointed at the red coral that was nearly two hundred meters long and getting closer.
"Wait, the speed of this thing is the same as the speed of the unidentified fluctuations on the radar! Whatever it is, attack it!" Visa immediately gave the order, because this thing was very weird.
The blaster cannons on the veronia immediately began to attack the opposing craft. Seeing the veronia attack, the craft immediately latched on, wanting to board the veronia.
Suddenly, more strange-looking craft flew out from a nearby planet, surrounding the veronia. These craft had strange shapes, as if they came from another world.
"Captain, these craft don't look like any faction we know." The First Mate said nervously.
Visa took a deep breath. "No matter who they are, we cannot sit still and wait for death. Try to communicate with them and see if we can resolve this peacefully."
At this time, the adjutant who had been constantly contacting the veronia finally reached them, pinpointed their location, and entered the hyperspace lane.
"How is your situation? The Hyperion will arrive at your location soon." Kote said worriedly.
"It doesn't seem very good, boss. The enemy's craft are ones I have never seen before, and their shape and signal are very strange. Also, they are now forcing their way onto our ship!" At this moment, Visa, holding a blaster, replied to Kote while facing the door that was being corroded.
"What! Never seen before, and even very strange!" Hearing this, Kote realized that Visa had clearly encountered Yuuzhan Vong with completely different technology, though it wasn't certain.
"Yes, I am having the crew transmit the holographic projection. Now they are about to board." Visa said calmly. After all, they could only rely on themselves to fight to survive now.
With a loud noise, the corroded door collapsed, and a group of Yuuzhan Vong, who had never appeared before the inhabitants of the Galaxy, finally made their first appearance.
But Visa and the others were waiting for them to come, and whoever they were, they would receive the punishment they deserved.
The moment they entered, blaster bolts hit the Yuuzhan Vong soldiers, but their armor was able to withstand several shots. They immediately rushed forward, using their amphistaffs—which were genetically modified snake-like creatures they used as weapons—to engage in close-quarters combat with the crew members on the ship.
But fortunately, Visa's crew were not weaklings; they were carefully selected. Many of them had served in the Death Watch or the Outer Rim Alliance, and they were also a warrior race; no one was necessarily weaker than the other.
The Yuuzhan Vong resembled humans, but their appearance was terrifying. They looked like skinless skulls, had no hair, and their noses were basically invisible, indistinguishable from having none. But their height was usually taller than ordinary humans, at least reaching 1.85 meters or more.
"You have intruded here, so die in glory!" A gray-skinned Yuuzhan Vong leader shouted in Galactic Basic, pinning Visa down beneath him.
"Asshole, only those who survive have honor. I cannot die!" The repulsion device on Visa's wrist directly blasted him away, and other crew members behind her shot his head off.
Behind her, Second Princess Sesia was also holding a Westar-35 and firing continuously. After all, this was a battle for everyone's survival; she would not flee, and she could not flee.
