Y/N POV

As soon as Jerec had landed he introduced me to his 6 new Dark Jedi followers. They weren't all too impressive from appearances but I would just have to deal with it. Their names were Sariss, Gorc, his twin brother Pic, Maw who had no legs and instead floated, Boc Aseca and finally a young man probably a bit older than me named Yun.

I then turned to the ship they arrived in and questioned Jerec on it. "So Jerec? What's with the new ship?" Jerec grinned "I found it on a scrapyard the same place I found Gorc and Pic. I think it will serve our needs nicely."

He gave me a tour of the ship and once we reached the bridge I spoke up again. "Yes the ship will make a nice flagship however we'll need more vessels and right now we lack the funds to properly fund our new Empire."

Jerec nodded "Your right. As we are we're not much and we still lack the proper Dark Council. However if we were to make some external allies and convince them to fund us, we may have something. But the question is who?"

Suddenly Maw of all people spoke up. "Wouldn't it be beneficial to make deals with some of the major corporations in the Galaxy?" We all turned to him as Desann stated "What are you getting at?"

I spoke up next "Yes I think I understand. If we promise them a cut of the war profits we should be able to secure some partnerships. But where would you suggest we start?"

Now Jerec spoke up again "What about the Trade Federation? I here since the rise of the Empire their profits have been lower than they would like. I believe if Senator Lott Dod was given a choice, he would be more than happy to join our movement."

I nodded "Then it's decided. We will travel to Cato Neimoidia and secure an alliance between us and the Trade Federation." The others all agreed with my idea as we prepped our new Flagship and set a course for Cato Neimoidia.

Timeskip...

Once we pulled out of Lightspeed we found ourselves at Cato Neimoidia however there was a singular obstacle in our way. That obstacle was a Trade Federation Blockade made up of several Star ships.

As we got closer we began to receive a communication from one of the ships closest to us. "Sir we're receiving a transmission from one of the ships." Yun exclaimed.

I turned to him "Patch it through." He pressed a button and a hologram appeared in front of us. I figured from the fact he was a Neimoidian and by his attire that he was a Representative for the Trade Federation.

The Neimoidian Representative instantly questioned us. "Unidentified ship. What is your business on Cato Neimoidia?" I stepped forward. "Honorable Representative of the Trade Federation. I seek an audience with Senator Lott Dod."

The Neimoidian looked confused and asked me "On what grounds do you want this audience?" I responded appropriately. "I have a business proposition for him. I think he may want to hear it." The Neimoidian nodded before saying.

"Very well but your ship is too big to land. Do you have any smaller craft?" I turned to Jerec and he nodded. "Yes we have a ship. I will come alone." The Representative nodded "Very well I will inform the Senator of your arrival."

I bowed as the Hologram disappeared. Jerec then lead me to a hanger and gestured towards a ship. I small Starfighter. "This is your's now. Consider it a gift from me. Don't get used to them." I looked at the Starfighter impressed at how it looked.

I ordered the others to wait for me as I boarded the fighter and left the ship. I entered the atmosphere and gazed at the bizarre scenery that made up the planet's landscape. It appeared that the cities were located on strange bridges between large mountains that came up through the clouds.

saw where I was meant to land however when I did I found that Lott Dod was nowhere in sight and instead I was met with numerous Neimoidian Guards all of which pointed their blasters at me instantly.

I reached for my Lightsaber and prepared to attack, thinking it was a trap. However the Guards were ordered to stand down. "Stand down immediately. This man is our guest."

The Guards parted and another Neimoidian, this one wearing a very tall hat and black robe, approached me through the now parted Guards. He was accompanied by two BD-3000 Luxury Droids. "Greetings my honored guest. My name is Senator Lott Dod."

Upon seeing his droids my eyes widened when I remembered that I had accidentally left Cherry on Agamar. I made a note to immediately go fetch her after my business here was concluded. Lott Dod then spoke to me directly. "Come in. We have much to discuss."

He lead me into a large room where there were two guards. He gestured to one end of the table that was in the centre. I sat down in the chair as Dod went and sat opposite. He then turned to his Luxury Droids "Bring us some refreshments." The Droids exited as Dod turned to me.

"Now then. What is this offer you have for me?" I spoke up now "I represent an organization called the New Sith Empire. We are very new and we are in need of financial aid. I believe that your organization would be able to provide said aid."

Lott Dod appeared to think for a moment before suddenly gesturing to his Aid that was stood nearby. The Aid went and stood next to him as he resumed talking.

"What would the Trade Federation gain from such a deal? You said it yourself your organization is new so we wouldn't gain any money from it." I answered "I intend to use this money to build and army and fleet in order to go to war against both the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire."

Dod appeared to think again "We have already been manipulated by Darth Sidious before and we lost both our Viceroy and his right hand, leaving me in charge. What makes you any different?"

I answered "Because I'm not asking for you to provide an army or ships. I just wish for financial backers for us to make our own. You would get a good share of the profits I promise."

Lott Dod once again began thinking before smiling "Very well. Your Sith Empire will get the money it needs. In return we will profit from this war of yours." He outstretched his hand for me to shake and I did so thereby securing our deal and providing our first external ally.

Author's Note: Chapter 3 is now done. I hope you enjoyed. Also as far as I know Lott Dod isn't dead or if he is it wasn't shown or mentioned regardless he's alive in this story.
