Chapter 53 - Chapter 52 Departure and arrival at Tatooine

3rd person

A week passes while Dark makes sure everything is ready for him to leave temporarily making sure that plans are in place for an emergency also thhe ship for him and his team has been built a packed with everything that they need the ship is the size of a carrier despite being a trade ship and packed with fighters for defence also heaving a cloaking device like the rest of the trader fleet it is even able to carry the full trader fleet since most of the ship is hanger space and the trade ships are the size of frigates so after some thought Dark had the trade fleet enter the carrier's hanger.

After Dark made all preperations he made sure that all the cargo to trade was loaded before heading to the trade carrier once onboard he heads to the bridge once there he gives the order to make final checks for departure.

As the final checks were taking place the rest of Oblivion team arrive on the bridge and take their seats and strap themselves in just as the final checks are complete after Dark does the same as his teammates before ordering the ship to depart while the trade fleet was all locked down in the ships hanger before the ship went to hyperspace it begins to disappear thanks to the cloaking device than jumps away.

Dark had already had a few destinations that he wanted to visit that was seen in both the movies and the TV shows starting with where the chosen one started his journey from good to evil to redeemed that lead to the eventual balance of the force.

It did not take long for them to arrive at Tatooine since Red had already figured out how tge hyperdrives of this universe work combining our own hyperdrive with these ones making a more efficient and powerfull device allowing it to create its own hyperdrive channel to traverse the only drawback is the power drain is astronomical making it require an independent reactor but it makes journeys faster so it's worth it in the end.

Once in orbit of Tatooine Dark and his team board a trade ship before the trade fleet leave the trade carriers hanger the reaction that many other ships to a fleet of ships appearing out of nowhere was one of shock but when they realise it was the ghost trader fleet they felt it was normal so they just watched as the fleet descend to the planets surface.

In Jabba's palace on Tatooine Jabba is watching some female twi'lek dancers when a male twi'lek runs to him and whispers something to him after hearing what the man said Jabba yells at the dancers to stop before he calls one of his generals over to go and great the ghost traders Jabba was not stupid the products the ghost traders had were very profitable more so than spices since it only had one source making the demand higher than the supply he would not miss an opportunity to make a large amount of money.

Jabba was not the only one who was paying attention to this another Hutt who had been fighting Jabba for control of Tatooine although unlike Jabba she has help from outside of Tatooine but now she knows that the ghost traders are on Tatooine she takes a comunicater out before calling someone not long after a mun man appears on the comunicater " Hego the ghost traders are on Tatooine I need some funds to get their products before Jabba" Hego just waves his hand indicating it done before speaking" if you can gain any information on them or where they come from it would be beneficial for us both Gardulla" with that the call ended.

Not long after the call ended Gardulla the Hutt received a notification on her comunicater indicating that funds had entered her account with the funds now in her possession she rushed to call one of her generals instructing him to get the goods of the ghost traders while discreetly trying to learn about them with his orders and money the general set off to the location the ghost traders had landed.

What Gardulla did not know what that Hego did not expect any results from her many had already tried but had learnt the hard way not to pry into the traders origins this was a test to see just how much he could push Gardulla to do something since everyone knew that the traders will not let any knowledge of their origins be found and he had expected Gardulla to refuse but she just did as she was told which worked perfectly for his plan although it will be a long time before everything is in place to for the plan it was better to get the foundation of said plan ready as soon as possible.

Dark unaware that his simple arrival on Tatooine has made a few faction scramble to gather funds and get to the trade fleets landing location as the landing ramp is lowered he is greatest by a large crowd of people thankfully he and his team are wearing their Mjolnir armour making the crowd think they are just the bodyguards like the others in armour and Dark was fine with that in fact that was what he wanted since he was not ready to face the dark forces of this universe yet.

This was despite his abilities as well as the fact he has not used his system recently believing that he needs to grow himself and practice his current abilities to make them more effective rather than relying on the system what he did not know was that he was right all the abilities on the skill tree he could get he could make himself the skill tree just acts as a short cut but not all short cuts a beneficial the system makes later abilities more expensive to a point its impossible to just buy the abilities its to encourage him to experiment with his abilities to make his own skills his teammates had already discovered this but at the request of Red they refrain from telling Dark since Red said it's better for him to learn it himself.

With the idea of not attracting attention Dark and his teams armour were equipped with a miniature cloaking device so after everyone had disembarked Dark and his team went into the ground of Spartans guarding his traders blocking people's view of them before engaging the cloaking device and leaving the group to explore Tatooine in peace and not a single soul had noticed that they had disappeared.

Dark had original wanted Lucy to explore with them but she could not use the Mjolnir armour as unlike clones she was not modified just a regular human but she stayed on the trade carrier watching everything from a display that was showing everything that Dark sees which she was happy with not wanting to set foot on a planet run by criminal organisation since Dark told her about Jabba and Gardulla who use money to control Tatooine using both legal and illegal means stating that they both rely on bounty hunters and mercenaries to control everything and have no problem killing anyone in they find displeasing her response was colourful but summing it up as " I ain't setting foot on a planet run by someone with a stick so far up their ass that they think they are the law" even when Dark tried to tell her that the Hutts owed this space she still would not budge so he left it but still allowed her to experience the planet from his few.
