Arms trough the galaxy

Chapter 2: Chapter 2



This village was like any other village that you can imagine, low quality facilities and service, one blacksmith, normal for a village focused on livestock, an inn, intended for travelers or merchants, a well, for water, and little more. Also this village had a bulletin board where people with some grade of literacy put their request, which reminds me of that game of CD Project, The Wicher or Wisher or something like that. Anyway first thing first resupply, learn more about this world, preferably find a map and last buy supplies. The fist one was easy, go to the local market and buy supply for one person, the second one is the most difficult so I leave it at the end, which brought me to this moment in front of the local mechanic shop.

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

"A moment, I'll finish this and we can talk"

'Much more educated than I thought, and also with some skill, I'm no mechanic but I know a well maintain vehicle when I see one. This, I hope, will be interesting'

After ten minutes a blonde male around 1.85 m walk out of the workshop finally finishing his work, it seem like someone order a bunch of parts for pod race, which means a high purchasing power.

"Thank's for your patience, so, how can I help you?"

"First I'd like to ask if you sell weapons, in case the answer is no, I ask you another, do you buy them"

"No, if what you are looking for are blasters then no, but mele weapons are a yes. About the second question, yes I buy them but first we must talk to the mayor"

"In that case, we should go see him, I have a big deal for him"

"There's no problem lad, also you don't seem from here, I have live here for the last 30 years and never saw someone like you, where are you from?"

"I'm from a place beyond the stars called Spain, so you can consider me an adventure of sorts, unfortunately during a sandstorm I lost some of my luggage and equipment, so now I'm trying to re-equip myself and continue my journey"

"Like you said, never heard of that place, but it's unfortunate that you got caught in a sandstorm they're rare in this period of time when the climate is less dry. But anyway let's go see that old guy"

After walking for a while we finally reach the mayor's house where I introduce myself as a merchant that has lost his way in the desert after an accident. Here I also learnt that the poor state of the village is becouse of the constant raids of tusken riders and the monthly bounty hunters that come for they're tribute.

"This was once a peacefull village but after Jabba started fighting for the control over Tatooine the situation only got worse. Every now and then Jabba mercenary's come to collect tribute, if it was only that we could manage but later people from the Black Sun Sindicate also show demanding us to pay, and under our lack of strenght that was the only choice and to make matters worse the tusken raider start attacking our only source of income about a year or two. Most of the people that used to live here has left and only about a hundred remaing. The worse is that becouse of the tensions between the Hutt and Black Sun no one sell blaster to us, and those aren't afraid of the consecuencies put them at a price so high that we can only afford a couple of them which aren't enough"

"I see, then why didn't you chose to leave as well, if the situation is so precarious"

"Because my life is here since 30 years ago, and giving up is not in my blood"

"I have a question for you, if someone could offer you a way out of this would you take it?"

"It would depend if that person has bad intentions for my people then the answer is no"

"And if it wasn't harmfull and at a modest price, would you take it"

"In that case the answer is definitely yes, but that person that you are talking about is you rigth?"

"Indeed, I'm a man of many talents and powers. Here take a look at this contract and tell me what you think of it"

"And well would you sign it for the good of your people?"

"Yes, I'll take it" "Then follow me, all purchase weapons must be register to avoid being involved in crimes"

After signing all the documents, and making sure that everything was rigth we shook hands.

"One last question where would be my base of operations and when would you like to see the goods"

"Your base is on the old market place, in a two floors building with a basement. As for the goods and the service you can provide, we'll talk about it tomorrow"

"Very well then"
