Rex's Starship Emporium is the single biggest starship/speeder selling spot on Naboo. Owned by an old ex royal guard that fought in the Battle of Naboo. During the past years he got a fine collection of starships raging from small fighters to heavy class freighters. He also has large range of speeders and speeder-bikes. It is located 50 kms south of Theed, in the field. It doesn't have any buildings near it besides Rex's house and the store itself. It's position in the middle of the field is caused by the fact that starships aren't small. It has about 10 square km.

As the speeder slowly came to a stop in front of the shop, Krieg was breathing heavily. It was his ideea to come here whit THAT taxi speeder, so it was all his fault. It was a good thing he didn't speeder sick easily. As he stepped out of the speeder he told the driver that that was all. He payed the small amount of 200 credits(small because of all the screaming the costumers always gave), then started moving to the shop itself. As he came closer the shop keeper, a 25 year old or so man came out to meet him. But as he saw Krieg's face the man threw his hands in the air and screamed: "Commander! He then raced to shake his hand whit a giant smile on his face. It's me remember? I was your pilot back wen you still were a commander. Too bad we didn't have many trips, but the bond we grew over a few Juma Juices isn't thin, right, commander?" " Ohh, err, yeah, Joker, what's up? How'd you been? I didn't realize you quite the army. And got yourself such a nice place! But didn't you always told me you wanted to go on a adventure? Buy a ship, sail the galaxy... stuff like that..." " This place? Ohh no, this place belongs to old Rex up there in the small mansion. I'm just the storekeeper. And employ... the 3rd shift actually... and as for the adventure part... That's what I'm doing now... Well trying would best describe it.. I'm trying to make enaf money the old raccoon would sell me a ship of my own. But at the prices he has, it will probably take a while... So never mind me commander, what about you?" "Me? well.. what can you do in a ship shop? I'm here to buy myself a freighter. i always did want one of my own, and since the republic now downgraded me to a ...errgh... private, I need to buy one whit my own money." " Ohh, so how much to you have?" " Around 2,000,000 credits on me." " 2,000,0000 credits? Hope I didn't miss a zero there.. why you could buy a Royal Cruiser whit that money!...If it were a normal shop...although you can't really buy it anywhere else...wait just let me get the old raccoon. He instructed us to call him if any of our clients were a "Big spender"." As he want to call the boss, he gestured Krieg to enter the store. The store itself was small, as the ships were held outside in the back. Even from the front you could see some of them, although generally there were X-wings, naboo N1s and other small fighter vessels. "Ok I called the boss and he'll be here in a giffe he said. But commander, i never knew you could pilot a starship.." " Well Joker now that you mention it... I don't!... then after thinking for a second he said: Hey Joker, wouldn't you want to quit this job and come work for me as a starship pilot? I promise you will make more than you do here. Plus, you can fly around in the galaxy whit me. He said as a gentle smile formed on his face" He spoke whit a enthusiastic and happy voice. " Hmm, be the racoon's slave here in this cramped shop and sell overpriced starships, or be the pilot of my friend commander and sail through the galaxy... But commander, are you sure?" " Sure I'll need a pilot anyway, better to be one I can trust." He said whit his smile still intact. " Well then commander, I'll take that offer. You just got yourself a pilot...Again... I just need to tell that slimy old mutant hutt that I'm quitting." " I heard that!" replied a big fat old man whit white hair that just entered through the back door whit his walking stick in his hands." And don't bother to do it too... cuz you just got fired!" Then looking at Krieg: " I hear you wish to purchase a more... "Exclusive" vessel from old' Rex. What might be to your tastes?" "Exclussive"? You probably mean "expensive"" said Krieg in a surprised voice. " Well that's just because quality means money. But I hear that isn't the problem here, right sir?" " Ohh well whatever, I'm looking to buy a transport ship. Something small that still has some bite into it. Better to be a bit luxurious too. My dad's a senator after all..." " Ahh the boy of a senator ehh? he said in a faked surprised voice, then mumbling in a very low voice:Cocky bastard"" Well follow me to the ships" Krieg and Joker followed Rex into the back, were all the ships were alighted. As they were walcking the old man would cought occasionally, strange thing as he appeared perfectly healthy back in the store. They passed a great deal of starships, including a Naboo light freighter, a Naboo Royal a CEC CR90 Corvette, a few trade and mining freighters, until finally reaching a shiny J-type Star Skiff. "How's this to yer liking? The J-type star skiff or the Naboo star skiff is a yacht starship made by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps for the royal house. I got this baby from the queen itself so the empire won't get their greedy hands on it. Seeing it return to the service of the republic would bring a smile on her majesty's face. I'm sure of it... You are whit the republic aren't you? Anyway, this baby got it all: 2 Sossen-7 sublight engines, a modified hiperdrive system, equipped whit shields, 2 laser cannons, sensor system, targeting system, avionics and a sensor jamming system, this little can do almost anything... Just don't push it to hard if you buy it that is... I think you can fit it whit a cloaking device too, but Your gonna have to go to a skilled mechanic to do that... A really skilled one. Not to break this jewel of course... Soo.. what'cha think son?" " What do I think? Man, I would kill a army to get the chance to pilot that ship, no to even stand in the pilot seat!"said Joker." " You shut up lad, your already fired. Although he is right...So will ya take it!?" " Sure! I love it It's perfect! Said Krieg whit his mouth still open in awe." " Good that'll be 2,500,000 credits. Any kind of transaction as long as it is one is acceptable." "2,500,000 credits? a royal yaht Cruiser is 2,000,000!" " Yeah but does it have all these things? Plus this one is super rare. You may not find one again in the whole galaxy." " grr fine I'll take it. Said Krieg in a sad voice. Then as he leaned over to Joker...: You were right about the prices..." They all moved to the store to complete the paperwork. As soon as that was done Rexx Cleared his through and begun to Read loudly: "1 J-type star skiff sold to Kriegor by bank transaction for 2,500,000 credits. Sign here, he said as he gave Krieg the paper. Krieg signed it whit a rather reluctant look on his face, knowing for sure he was ripped of. Good, now it's yours. I'll personally send it to the starport for you. Your ergh.. pilot will be in it I presume, I'll keep him here to give him his last paycheck. The ship will be here tomorow at 9:00 AM at the starport, Docking Bay#3. Don't worry, it will be there. Now scram, I got other work to do. I already called a taxi out front."
Krieg exited the store after that, telling Joker he would meet him at the ship. After all that he had a big smile on his face. He had a dream ship, and was prowd of it. The smile quikly dissapeared though, after the window from the taxy speeder oppened and a familiar driver's face came out and said: Hello again, come in, and don't forghet to buckle up!" Krieg entered the car, braced for impact, and whit his eyes closed, almost crying said: "4star hotel in Theed..."
