OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Structure Name: Bei Xi (The White Pearl)
  • Classification: Home
  • Location: Atrisia
  • Affiliation: Ike Family
  • Accessibility: Easy to locate and get to, the island home is considered remote mostly kept in the center of where two large rivers meet. In ancient times, the crossing and distance would make it much harder but with flying vehicles and ships access to it much easier. The Jishi era and the ANshin have made ships restricted from coming to the port except shuttles for moving goods on and off world. Narrowing it and automating it to prevent infiltration from the few ports on the world.
  • Description: Pearl White walls against black stone with a massive and thick wall facing the ocean. Built on an island at the mouth of the jade and silver rivers where they meet to go into the sea. High walls and enclosed on three sides is the trade city of Leng, bustling with market stalls, buildings and warehouses where people come to ply their wares and ports from along the river. The years have been kind to the White Pearl and it has managed to reinforce its defenses on top of expanding its trade capabilities. To include a vast network across the planet itself and expanding its marketplace to the ANshin where it trades with tens of thousands of worlds across the galaxy.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Throne Room: Once used to oversee the river's mouth and settle disputes, the ancient seat of house Ike has been mostly turned into a personal meting chamber where the head of the clan on Atrisia meets visitors. Filled with holoprojectors to see other clan heads and have meetings across the planet.

The Vaults: Ancient and honeycombing the base of the island, dug out into a series of rooms, crypts and even some storage rooms. The vaults have been stocked with precious gems, stones and crystals, rare metals and materials that can be traded. The deeper vaults are filled with the oldest treasures from the family.

The Sea Wall: Built long ago as a buffer, very thick interlocking stones that have been made solid to hold back some fo the worst storms on the oceans. It has tunnels and storage rooms that have been designed and set to hold supplies for the castle and fortress.

The Jade Vaults: A long standing tradition that made House Ike in ancient times invaluable. THe stones, gold, crystals, and trade goods allowed them to buffer the coffers and invest in deals across the planet. Funding for humanitarian endeavors on Atrisia itself and some fo the colonies expansion. Rebuilding Jar'Kai under Shoma Ike's vision and ideas with the Emperor. Coming to it anyone can apply for a loan and the family will work with them to helo willing to later collect on the debt with interest.

Leng: A trading town, built outside and within the walls of Bei Xi, where the walls enclose it the town sprang up trading goods from along the river with those from the sea. The location making tariffs and tribute allowing the town to prosper while the home of House Ike grew larger and was rebuitl several times to improve the location. Fruits, spices, food from up river such as raised cattle and livestock, fish from the ocean and rivers, information. What it lacks in freshwater and its own farms it makes up for in gems, crystals, gold and precious metals.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Built by the first of the families line after chasing a falling star through the mountains. Bei Xi was erected as a simple village that was working with the people on the river to trade. As more boats were built and trade started to increase the small percentage collected for using the home, using their docks as a middle ground made the coffers of the family full. THis in turn allowed them to expand and build up, from creating bridges and small roadways leading out to some of the closer villages to the construction of what would become the storm wall. A massive buffer against wind and waves.

As time went on, the small home became a larger tradinign village with roo to expand as construction of a fort took place. Wood, stone and early metal workings to try and create areas of protection. As the clan expanded and grew so did the fortress into something with thicker walls. UNage the head fo the clan at the time wanted the walls to be built so that they could expand within as much as underneath. Going into the mines and tunnels that had been created by the ship crashing on the planet. The metal from the hull being used to create a metal dais that would be see those who come.

The biggest development came when the Pearl Empress came, he army of soldiers were uniting Atrisia under a single banner. Her offer to Matsudaria was to bow and serve her. Bring all of his lands and titles with him but he wouldn't be a lord of the river's any longer. Seeing what it meant and what could await him, it would be prudent to use their thick walls, larger stores and patience to wait out the enemies forces... but that would only serve to cause problems and they had no time to just sit there feasting. The Ike clan bent the knee and were raised back up as loyal vassals to the empress herself.

As more time went on, the lines of successions continuing long into the courts of Atrisia. Being able to face the Gulag Plague as foreign trade with offworlders went away for a time. The stores of Bei Xi were opened to feed people, the love of the people something that UNaga worked to try and have. Their works in everything that was there. New ports were opened, new ideas of how to bolster and protect the people. From martial forces, to hunger. THen in time eventually trade with the galaxy returned to Atrisia and the ports of Jar'Kai, of Bei Xi, or Xianlong went back to normal producing for Atrisia.

With the four hundred years of darkness ahead of them and everything done Matsudaria VIII sought to ensure the emperors court by increasing the Yovshin and Soldiers done. THey would maintain order and the office of chief investigator of people, situations and events was created. A position that would be held by a number of Ike's down the line making an appointment that was fashioned for anyone with a dedication to justice and law seem more like a hereditary office. Once the darkness was over, once the galaxy was recovering the deeper vaults and mines of Bei Xi were being mined once again.

THe wealth that poured forth, and the trade from clans off world were important. Using what knowledge they had and influence across the planet. The conquest of the One Sith and Mythos coming to the world. It cause most of the ports and trade to dry up. Less coming in meant the people needed a place to stay and between them. Battles and rebellion were common across the planet as the house funded them to ensure that it would have a free atrisia again. Secluding away the Emperor and Empress in remote locations that they controlled. The Fortress of Dusk and the Ancient Tower Fortress.

Once peace returned to Atrisia with the dangers of the NEtherworld and its rifts, the house served to rebuild atrisia where they could. Shoma Ike being named for his service as the Emperors heir after the death of his children in the uprisings. Shoma quickly went to work with the GA falling around them to secure Atrisia opening trade and diplomatic channels winth his friends and allies from the Hapas COnsortium and Allana Djo or the Silver jedi in Jyoti Nooran. Sending his family to family and some like Nine Lives a member of an ancient house loyal to the royal family to the CIS.

The Jishi era has seen trade and economic booms for the ancient trade post... With billions of credits worth of food passing through and technology being sold... rare and precious stones, tens of thousands of deeds to mining stations and outposts across the galaxy and surrounding systems that have been bought or traded. Expansions to the terraformed worlds in the systems and even more like silks and spices or even biot droids that serve as servants and crew for ships. The white pearl has lasted and expanded itself as a means to help refugees on the world but also expanding to better improve the economic growth of Atrisia.
