Chapter 1: Hello, Manager

[Preface: This book is a Star Wars fan fiction. This is a story that takes place in a completely different universe; this place has no connection to any person or government on Earth. Everything is fictional, and there is absolutely no intent of allusion or satire. It is purely a space opera.]

[In the book, I will upload setting images of relevant characters, starships, and scenes in the "Easter Egg" chapters to give everyone a more intuitive impression. However, these images can only be seen on the Qidian mobile app.]

1. Hello, Administrator

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away……

A long, long time ago, in a very, very distant galaxy……

——

STAR

WARS

Star Wars—

The Galactic Republic has ruled the galaxy for over 25,000 years. During these 25,000 years, the Republic has brought prosperity, abundance, and security to the entire galaxy.

However, throughout these tens of thousands of years of history, the Republic never established a centralized and efficient administrative system. Bureaucracy, oligarchy, and a loose political organization turned the Republic into a giant bubble.

Grand, gorgeous, and colorful, yet incredibly fragile.

Rather than a nation, the Galactic Republic is more like a loose alliance of sovereign planets, with countless hidden dangers buried beneath this flashy exterior.

Extending outward from the most developed sectors in the center of the galaxy, the galaxy is roughly divided into the Core Worlds, the Inner Rim, the Mid Rim, and the Outer Rim. The closer a planet is to the edge of the galaxy, the poorer and more backward it is, but the greater their numbers.

Among the countless contradictions of the Galactic Republic, the one with the most turbulent undercurrents is the conflict between the poor and backward Outer Rim planets and the developed and wealthy Inner Rim and Core Worlds.

This is also the conflict between the exploiters and the exploited; separatist forces are beginning to rise.

But before such contradictions could finally push the Republic toward its doom, a massive starship descended into the Mordel sector on the edge of the galaxy, for this galaxy destined to fall into a storm……

Writing an "X" that represents the unknown.

……

"Fate has chosen you, and you, too, must make a choice…… Tang Xiao."

"The stars are burning, the people are suffering, billions upon billions of innocent people are dying…… and now, fate has placed an opportunity before you. Do you choose to accept, or refuse?" A low and mysterious voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Tang Xiao found himself standing in the endless starry sky, looking down at the countless shining stars beneath his feet. "Am I... dreaming? Accept? Accept what?" He raised his hands before his eyes; they felt somewhat illusory, yet incredibly real.

Suddenly, a massive warship flew over his head! This warship was so enormous that he felt as small as an ant before it! Countless cold gun barrels adjusted their aim, and immediately after, fired a terrifying beam of light!

Another fleet appeared in front of them out of nowhere, and the two sides were engaged in fierce combat! Countless laser beams instantly filled the entire space, tearing the once-quiet starry sky into pieces!

Starfighters also began to take off, circling and engaging around the massive warships like flies, with flashes of explosive fire appearing constantly.

In the vacuum of space, all of this was silent, yet it was still too cruel to bear!

The warship above Tang Xiao was hit by heavy artillery; its outer armor tore, and flames began to spread. He could clearly see the crew members sucked out by the vacuum struggling desperately in the cold space.

"This is……" Tang Xiao looked toward the other fleet in the distance. Those massive warships all had triangular hulls and tall command bridges, surrounded by countless H-shaped starfighters.

Memories suddenly unlocked. "TIE fighters! Imperial-class Star Destroyers! This is…… the battlefield of the Star Wars universe!!"

Everything around him suddenly shattered and disappeared like glass, and Tang Xiao found himself back in that brilliant starry sky. However, looking down from his vantage point, he could clearly see the flames of war igniting on every planet, with nuclear mushroom clouds rising one after another.

"You have made your choice, and fate shall surely reward you." That low and mysterious voice sounded again.

"Hey!! What are you making me choose? I haven't chosen yet! Hey……" Before Tang Xiao could finish his sentence, his entire body was pulled away by a force, spinning uncontrollably.

Oh~~ This feels terrible, just like being thrown into a toilet and flushed away.

"Hey!! Let me go back~~~~~~~~~~"

……

[Target galaxy reached. Name unknown, coordinates unknown.]

[Initiating planetary scan. Planet diameter 4,900 kilometers, orbiting a gas giant. Rotation period 18 standard hours, orbital period 402 standard days.]

[Atmospheric composition: Class A2, breathable for humans. Primary terrain: forests, mountains, savannas, plains. Surface water coverage: 8%. The planet's surface consists of primordial strata with signs of intense tectonic activity.]

[Conclusion: This planet is habitable for humans, but the planet's scale is too small to meet the needs of social development. Overall rating: B+.]

[Unknown condition in the hyperdrive core, unresponsive. The mothership cannot perform jumps until contact is re-established. Terminating cruise, initiating interstellar colonization procedures.]

[According to the Interstellar Colonization Act, Chapter 7, Article 1: When the AI determines that colonization procedures can be initiated, it must awaken the Administrator, and the Administrator shall be fully responsible for colonization work.]

[Awakening Administrator, hibernation recovery procedure in progress……]

[Hello, Administrator Tang Xiao.]

Hearing someone call his name, Tang Xiao woke up from his sleep in a daze; he felt as if his brain had exploded.

A strong sense of discomfort made him open his eyes abruptly, only to find himself in a pristine white room, lying in a glass pod that was narrow but very comfortable. The white light from an unknown source illuminated the entire room, and under the omnidirectional lighting, even shadows were hard to see.

Some unknown instruments were placed in the room, constantly operated by automated robotic arms. In the corner, a few potted plants were placed, making the atmosphere feel fresher.

Undoubtedly, no matter where this was, it certainly wasn't the Mike Mija Hotel where he had fallen asleep after getting drunk.

"What is going on……" Tang Xiao muttered to himself, looking around in a daze, feeling completely bewildered.

[You are the Administrator of this ship, Mr. Tang Xiao. During your hibernation, you completed the study of knowledge relevant to an Administrator. We have now arrived at a habitable planet; please decide whether to start the colonization procedure.] An elegant, electronically synthesized female voice came through.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

[I am the mothership's core control computer. You are currently in the living quarters of the mothership, and this is the medical room reserved for the Administrator. Please proceed to the bridge after your consciousness clears. If you require nutrients, you may make a request at any time.]

"Mothership? What mothership?"

[This is a giant mothership equipped with a hyperdrive core, used for interstellar colonization. Information regarding the origin civilization has been lost. Now, this mothership belongs to you. All residents and crew members boarded the mothership with the greatest honor under your selection to begin this interstellar journey.]

[There are 600,000 residents in hibernation and 50,000 crew members also in hibernation on the mothership. Any situation on the mothership can be handled by awakening crew members for emergency processing. All residents and crew have been strictly selected and trained, mastering different professions to better serve the colonization effort.]

[In addition, the mothership has a giant embryo bank containing 5 billion different frozen embryos. Through biotechnology, the growth time of these embryos can be shortened to 5 years.]

[Now, the entire mothership and everyone on it will serve you, Administrator.]

Tang Xiao's brain was still a mess. First, he had a strange dream where a voice made him choose something, and then he woke up to find he had taken over a super mothership?? A mothership that could hold 650,000 people couldn't be small, right?

He struggled to stand up and went to the mirror on the washbasin nearby. What met his eyes was a rather sunny-looking young man, though his face was a bit pale.

The face was still his own, but it seemed to have undergone very meticulous maintenance; his skin was much more delicate, and his hair and even his eyebrows had been trimmed, making him look very refreshed.

He was wearing a white uniform with gold trim on the large lapels; the material was soft yet resilient, and he could barely feel its weight on his body.

Am I…… transmigrated? The two words, like a thunderclap, rippled through Tang Xiao's mind. His previous life, his parents, his friends, everything—all turned to nothing, and he was left alone in this unknown world. Most importantly, who knew which world this was?

Tang Xiao just wanted to calm down. He looked up at the washbasin, wanting to use cold water to wake himself up, but the water that came out was comfortably warm.

He wanted to lower the water temperature, but he couldn't find a switch on the seamless washbasin. He suddenly got angry and slammed his hand onto the mirror of unknown material, making his palm go numb.

He looked up at his bloodshot eyes in the mirror and said, "Adjust the water temperature to cold, no, ice-cold! You can do that, right? Computer."

[I am the mothership's core control computer; you can just call me Main Brain. The water temperature has been adjusted; please enjoy.]

The ice-cold water poured over Tang Xiao's face, and he became much clearer, starting to connect these events.

Clearly, the dream he had earlier and this transmigration seemed to have some connection. That mysterious voice made him choose—regardless of whether he chose or was tricked—in the end, the voice said that if he chose, fate would provide a reward.

Could the reward be this transmigration?

And why choose me to come here? Tang Xiao remembered the fleet battle in space he experienced in his dream; it was clear that the ships and warships were from "Star Wars."

Did I transmigrate into "Star Wars"? If that's true, in a universe where planets get blown up at the drop of a hat, this mothership is nowhere near enough! If it were those monster-like doomsday weapons from the later stages, even bringing a Titan from "EVE" wouldn't be able to hold out!

What exactly is going on? Tang Xiao sat on the bed in the medical cabin, dazed, until the Main Brain began to urge him.

[Administrator, the mothership encountered an unknown accident during the jump, and supplies are now very scarce. Therefore, if your body has recovered, please proceed to the bridge to preside over the work. If you still have physical issues, I will call the ship's medical staff immediately.]

"No need, let's go to the bridge, now." Tang Xiao sighed and stood up.

【Finally, a quick note: It seems many people have a misunderstanding of the concept of the "Fourth Crisis." First of all, the source of the Fourth Crisis is not about summoning players or immortal players. The Fourth Crisis is the fourth crisis after the three major crises in "Stellaris"—the Unbidden, the Contingency, and the Prethoryn Scourge—which is the player who opens the console to cheat.

So, if you want to see players being summoned, please click the 'X' in the top right corner directly. Don't keep spouting nonsense in the comments about how the Fourth Crisis is immortal players; what kind of Fourth Crisis is that?

By the way, the protagonist will often go out to stir up trouble, so if you want to see the protagonist conquering the world while sitting in an office making phone calls, you can also click the 'X' in the top right corner. No need to waste each other's time.】
