Just as Kote and Satine began striving for Mandalore's future.
A hercules-class transport ordered from the Vadir Shipyard was transporting goods across the Galaxy, but this time, an unexpected buyer sought her out.
"Are you saying you need thirty BD-3000 Luxury Droids? And various luxury goods sourced from all corners of the Galaxy?" Vesa Lista, the female captain of this herculean-class transport ship, listened to the somewhat vague request.
"That's right. Deliver them to these coordinates, and we will have a ship to guide you. The payment will be double the price—how about two million Republic credits?"
"What!" Captain Vesa Lista instantly fainted. The first mate quickly supported the Captain, helping her stand steady.
"Steady, Captain! This is our chance to strike it rich! Make sure to treat this big buyer well!" The first mate quickly pinched the Captain's philtrum.
The Captain steadied herself and stood upright.
The other party, thinking the price was unsatisfactory, quickly spoke again.
"Is it because it's too dangerous? I can add another hundred thousand. This is truly important to me, but if possible, please help bring some weapons. Thank you!" The mysterious female buyer sincerely told Captain Vesa Lista.
The Captain, having recovered, replied with the first mate's help, "No problem, all your concerns will be resolved by us, by the glory of Mandalore!"
"I trust you. You are the Captain I carefully selected." Following that, the mysterious female buyer ended the communication.
Meanwhile, the crew aboard the ship began searching for rare luxury goods to provide to this buyer.
Captain Vesa Lista, meanwhile, pondered what channels she could use to purchase thirty BD-3000 Luxury Droids. After much consideration, she realized she would need connections. She was one of the first members to pledge allegiance to Duke Kote, and she had only reached this point thanks to Duke Kote's patronage.
Therefore, she called Kote.
After connecting, Kote's holographic projection appeared.
"What's wrong, Little Vesa? Did something happen with your trade run?" Kote was extremely friendly and protective toward all the Mandalorian people, let alone those who followed him in the first wave; he had even rescued her himself years ago.
Vesa Lista shook her head. "Nothing, Boss Kote. I just need thirty BD-3000 Luxury Droids right now, and I don't have the channels to make it happen."
"Thirty BD-3000 Luxury Droids! That's a huge business deal. Don't worry, I will help any of the Mandalorian people who are in need. Come to Vadir later; I'll prepare them for you and help you contact a person in charge at the Leisure Mech Corporation so you can coordinate." Kote thought about the manufacturer of the BD-3000 Luxury Droids.
"Boss Kote is the best!" Vesa shouted sweetly.
The first mate and several crew members nearby saw Vesa like this for the first time, and it was also the first time they understood why the twenty-year-old Vesa Lista could afford a herculean-class transport ship: because her boss was Kurt Vizsla!
"Boss, you never told us you had this kind of relationship with Duke Kote!" The first mate beside her was equally astonished.
"Sigh, I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but what choice did I have? After all, this is a huge deal. We stand to earn nearly a million credits in one trip! We'll split the profits individually later." Vesa Lista patted her first mate, who was her good sister from the same maritime major at Vadir University.
"Yes, Captain! Return to Vadir now!" Following the first mate's command, the herculean-class transport ship entered hyperspace and returned to Vadir.
A few hours later, the herculean-class transport ship docked at Starport One. A nearby freighter was unloading cargo, and Omen was tallying the inventory. Seeing Vesa Lista disembark and return home, Omen stepped forward to greet her.
"The boss got all this ready for you, exactly thirty droids. I paid for them upfront for you. Just bring back the money and honor him and the boss." Omen was very caring toward these younger brothers and sisters.
"That's great. When you get married, I'll help you give Sister Sharley some extra credits, and while I'm out, I'll find a suitable match for Boss Kote." Vesa said chirpily to Omen.
"I'm fine with whatever, but finding a partner for the boss really needs to be put on the agenda. You all should go out and see the world more. I'm busy to death every day and don't have time to look myself, so I'm relying on you younger brothers and sisters." Omen was also worried about Kote's single status, but being too busy, he could only rely on those he trusted to help search.
"Understood!" Vesa stood at attention and saluted, indicating that she would definitely complete the mission.
Behind her, transport workers were loading the thirty brand-new droids onto the ship, and at the same time, the other crew members were purchasing the items on their list of luxury goods in Vadir.
Kote was currently in Mandalore with his Cousin, finalizing the semi-militarization reform of Mandalore, and was visiting the Mandalore Shipyard to inspect the Mandalore Cruiser that had already been built.
"Is this the new main battleship built for our Mandalore according to your latest blueprints?" Kote asked the designer standing beside him.
Satine was right beside him, and everyone was terrified, as this was something Kote had secretly ordered to be built, and the main objective was to hide it from Duchess Satine!
"That's right, but, we can also remove the weapons and use it as a transport ship. We had that idea..." The designer quickly corrected himself.
Kote laughed when he saw this. It seemed his Cousin had completely terrified everyone.
"It's fine. Did you think such a huge operation could be hidden from me? Of course, I knew long ago. Just give me the introduction. I also want to know how powerful our Mandalore main battleship is, so it can protect our Mandalorian people."
Hearing Satine's words, the designers nearby all breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't blaming them at all.
They then began introducing the Mandalore battleship to everyone and showcased their latest starfighter to Satine and Kote—the Fang Fighter!
"The Fang Fighter is fast and highly maneuverable, designed specifically for combat. The fighter's narrow attack profile and rotating wing mounts, which provide vector thrust control, give it unparalleled agility." The designer explained the features of the Fang Fighter.
"In that case, what is the production rate? Can it be formed into legions in a short time?" Satine asked about the most fundamental issue: production.
"Of course, there is no problem, Duchess Your Highness. If multiple Mandalore shipyards start simultaneously, the production rate can reach over a hundred ships a month. As for the Mandalore Cruiser, we can only produce a maximum of four ships a year, and this is without counting the production from other planets."
Hearing this production rate, Kote felt it was decent. After all, Mandalore had not manufactured large vessels for some time, so achieving the current output was considered a success.
"Then continue according to my previous standards, and equip each ship with four or more squadrons of Fang Fighters."
(This is an original plot, but the planets, people, ethnic groups, and culture all exist in the Legends Universe.)
