Narrator: (The Trade Federation operated Modified Lucrehulk Class Battleship Cargo Freighter, 'Indestructible' orbits the small moon of Thalos IV. The Neimodian Captain, a shrewd and brilliant military tactician and business man, Lurch, stood on the bridge as he contacts the President of Thalos IV, concerning the blockade)

Captain Lurch's POV: I must apologize for this inconvenience... but your planet has fallen behind on payments to the Trade Federation... for the time being, no commerce will be permitted to your planet... (I said with sympathy, as I folded my hands politely) But, if you join the Separatist Alliance, they have offered aid to you... the Trade Federation, being neutral, and aiding both warring factions, would be inclined to resume trade post haste...
