But Republic forces had been lying in wait, eager to capture him alive and bring him to justice-thirteen years late, in the judgment of many. But rational thinking had never been a Neimoidian strong suit, especially when possessions remained on Cato Neimoidia that the viceroy apparently couldn't live without.īacked by a battle group of Federation warships, he had slipped onto Cato Neimoidia, intent on rescuing his precious treasures from the citadel before it fell.
