The negotiations took the entire rotation to end. Typical politics. The trades deals finalized between the Chiss and the Duggs. The Chiss empire would supply Corruscant and The Duggs with better metal for factories and ships. Being the governor of Csilla Ranlo, Araldi finalised the purchase of fuel that was in short supply. A limiting factor for how much fuel can be produced on Malystare is that the pipes and tanks will erode faster. The new metal will fix that problem

After that the team and Chiss boarded their ship heading to Naboo.

"So I assume the negotiations were successful?" Asked Chaos.

"Yes they were." Said Kylian.

"Good. Well since we're in Republic guarded space we can rest easy. Do as you please. I'll be in the cockpit. Delta and Beta come with me. The pilots needs break."

"Yessir."

The two Alpha troopers followed their CO to the cockpit. Ivy and Neko decided to nap along with Boomer. Alpha and Kylian took a stroll around the ship. Leaving Jackie and Araldi in the cargo bay.

"So, Jack. Umm. Since you'll be my personal for a while might as well get to know you. So what's your full name. I assume you have a full name.", Araldi spoke up.

"Skywalker. Jackhammer Skywalker."

"As in Chaos Skywalker?"

"Yeah. Since we're all of Mando origins he adopted us and started Clan Skywalker. Heck we even have tattoos as a clan tradition." He explained.

"Oh. May I....see them?"

"Only one. The rest and on my chest." He said nervously. She nodded. The Trooper removed his helmet revealing his tattooed right eye.

"Hmmm. It's very fitting." She said, but then she noticed a scar stretching across his left jaw. She willed herself not to reach out and touch it.

"Thank you." He said.

"So how old are you?" She questioned.

"Depends. Biological I'm 25. Chronologically I'm 12. All clones were given faster aging. Though only commanders and ARCs had it removed. Plus I did a lot of Cryo." He answered.

"Oh. Your older than me? I'm 23."

"Wait. That's quite young for a governor."

"Not really. All high ranking officials are chosen at a young age and were groomed accordingly. I was very outspoken hence I was chosen at the age of 6. Though it got me my position, I lost many close to me. What I regret most was not apologising to my father before his death." Her eyes trained to the ground trying to hold back tears.

"We all made mistakes. But the past is past. Focus on the present and future." He said resting his arm on his shoulder.

"Thank you Jack." She said.
