Bethany smiled at the girl with a small nod.

"Thank you for showing us the way, Jillis."

Stepping into the room, her eyes swept over the room, landing first on Jacen. She glanced over at Michael, very slightly arching an eyebrow. He was rarely this relaxed in her experience. Well, maybe relaxed was the wrong word, but it was the closest she had to his response.

"Absolutely no apologies are needed, your ship does it's job admirably," she said with a smile at Jacen. Everything seemed new to Beth these days, after all.

Her eyes met Avalore's then, and she nodded to the other woman.

"My name is Bethany," she addressed both of them. "Thank you for inviting us."

​

calm breeze in the summer eve​

so subtle, so warm, at ease​

as one Liliane ponders,​

the same time she wonders​

and wanders;​

her feet bring her​

to places where trees​

and water may roam​

don't bring her unease​

​

for once, she's so silent​

no way to be violent​

and defiant​

she's not one to riot​

or not even pilot,​

she sees​

the best way to be's​

to be silent​

​

and then she might just​

find something of peace​

and let just one breeze​

awaken from freeze ​

Section One, the part of the station that would house the Alliance command center for the station and the southern part of their territory, needed to get all the tricks and toys that would help the officers' job in coordinating fleet resources. The module itself had been constructed with security and durability in mind to protect state secrets and those who worked within it. To that end, the command center sported triple layer quandanium steel armor with agrinium. The viewports were reinforced transparisteel with automatic turadium shutters if there was a breach in the glass itself that would close within seconds. Socketguards and cap drains were installed to make sure that slicers or ion and EMP weaponry couldn't affect this area of the station at least. On top of all that, Aurora personnel were giving the module its own dedicated shielding array and life support systems for the event of the rest of the station going down.

The center itself was design like a hybrid of the old Imperial command pit style with the command deck of a Mon Calamari cruiser with a large interactive holomap of the surrounding sector in the center and a circular command ring one level below that would house the officers and other personnel's work stations. The module also was equipped with a heavily encrypted communications array and extensive sensor array and secure Holonet transceiver.

​

and so the one did wander,​

on Terminus she ended up​

to villages not plundered​

what a fresh sight it was to see​

​

when no need to fight​

and no need to fright​

no need to think twice​

only take a bite​

​

she looked behind herself​

at the sun which once again would set​

and she would know for now she was safe​

and all she needed it was​

​

beside the waterfall she sat​

while the wind would scat​

and make her feel at ease​

"So we've got it settled on our own personal orbital refueling station? I like it. Overhead cost might be a little lower anyways. I'll get in contact with Salvage and see if they can't find something to repurpose. We'll keep this facility that will be built now as the production facility."


There was a small bit of grumbling but no one was going to oppose him at this point. The idea was solid and afforded them the ability to work on their own terms. He was quiet for a moment, waiting for any more objections before moving on.


"Publicity will be the next issue, getting pilots to use the biofuel will be a problem. Galactic Alliance has some type of presence on this planet right? Let's see if we can't reach out to some fighter pilots or a squadron leader....even the guys in logistics, hauling government goods."


"First fuel up on us, fifteen percent discount afterwards to the government....pretty much near-cost considering the price of the product."

“Hm,” Parso grunted softly, though Joza couldn’t quite tell if it was in approval or mild disgust. Why the latter was an option, she did not know. He didn’t seem like a rude fellow—but the type to run a tight ship, and perhaps wondering if she was really serious about this. Sometimes she’d get that sort of reaction—pink skin did that to you—but she maintained a strict, politely guarded business policy. No hanky panky, no silliness, no excessive cleavage even—while she worked in entertainment, she’d been eager to extend her influence into other avenues that didn’t involve being covered in glitter. Not that there was anything wrong with that.

So she didn’t mind being vetted. There was nothing to hide aside from honest intention. No ulterior motive, no gun behind her back.

“Are these healers trained?”

She had to suppress a frown at that, but reminded herself that it was a fair question. Sort of. She wasn’t going to send untrained giggly girls to tend to the wounded.

“Of course, Dr. Parso.” There was that bright smile, a few notches behind friendly this time. “The Heka Healers have received advanced life support and wound care training at Lianna Medical, alongside basic combat techniques.” The bright smile relaxed a little.

“The unit I have on Manpha has 60 hours of field work to each individual member, and a little more than that as a team. I have additional units that are undergoing training, as well as a few in reserve.”

He was glad Avalore had come along. Even if it took her away from the homestead for a few days her experience would be welcome. Besides, she might have a few months without many trips away soon. She could always holo back in if she needed to return sooner.

"I'm pretty sure this thing is so reflective they can see it from the ground during the day," he continued to bemoan the ship's appearance.

"Anyway, thank you all for coming. A moff from the New Order decided to take control of the trading ports. The locals were less happy and over the months the regions around the spaceports became war zones. The conflict is almost over bar a few vessels lingering in the region but there is still much to do. A lot of the civilians already moved away from the cities and found accommodation elsewhere, but we still have people needing shelter, medical care and supplies. We need to get the infrastructure all back in place as well.

"I suppose you could tell me a little more about what your Order does and where you think you could help? Any assistance being incredibly welcome of course."

The local sector had the following planets: Terminus, Manpha, Faldos, Saijo, Cantros, and Anoth. Of course there were also Kro Var and Lothal. Word had it that the Galactic Alliance was beefing up security for the words within their territory here. It was no surprise really. Not with the ongoing tensions between the First Order and the Galactic Alliance. It was all a he says she says situation, much like Kaeshana.

At least, from what Six was able to comprehend. For her analytical mind, the planet was a waste of resources and manpower. Why would anyone select such a staging point. However, her template's personality imprint also provided a measure of context. It was an emotional affair regardless of where one would stand.

In these moments, Six could understand the need to be neutral.

As it was, Arceneau Trade along with investments made by Aurum Saacs were part of those contracts to secure such worlds. Lothal, for example, along with Kro Var, would benefit from a planetary shield. Word had it that there might even be an Omega Pyre Fleetcom directed to ensure Lothal's security.

Aurum Saacs of course needed to have that assurance of sector stability as well. It wouldn't do to have an Aurum Saacs Bank Headquarters if it could not be given a measure of peace of mind.

It wasn't just Terminus that MaraTibx was proposing building a planetary shield. Lothal, Kro Var, Manpha. There was even talking of expanding further out. If Noire was able to work this well, then she would be able to lock in a heavy weight sponsorship for such a construction at a massive scale.

If all worlds were to have a gated shield along with a fall back, then that would mean a steady influx of credits over the span of the year. Implementation and resources were what would affect the timeline. Hiring local workforce along with subcontractors would also speed up the process -- not to mention ensure that they are content without having outsiders take over potential jobs.

Now, one had to consider how well a shield powered by quintessence would be able to stand up against comparable energy solutions.

As work continued on setting up Section One, the life support systems in Section Two were coming online and the workers could begin there. Section 2 was designed to be living quarters for those both temporarily stationed on the space station and for those who were permanently stationed there. Barracks and other living quarters, along with a large cafeteria that could sit 10,000 men easily at any given time. Officer quarters with their own personal mess hall, which provided better rations than the normal one. Much like the command center, the crew quarters were similarly reinforced with thick armor and safety features. It wouldn't do if the crew quarters got hit and everyone died.

That wasn't the only new section being work on however. A third extending arm had been added to the station to allow ships to dock with the station to offload supplies and material for the station and ship construction projects. In the grand scheme of things, there would be three of those docking arms and four drydock arms off the station. Jaxson was waiting for Section Three's life support to come online and the final assembly of the modules.

Distribution of fuel settled for the moment, attention turned back to the building. The wizened planner hired for the site had done enough calculations on the empty block to conclude the eastern side of the block had the most sun all day. It could be used to their advantage to reduce costs.


"Course we can put grow lights elsewhere, in or near the tubing." A Rodian Scientist spoke up, clutching a datapad as if it was a lifeline. "Might speed up production, along with heating. I can run tests before its implemented to see if it will be viable in this climate."


"Good, you've got three months to perform your tests. Have the results in to myself and the BioFuel team by then."

There were a few things that Rhen's knowledge of crystals could be used for. He had spent decades researching crystals and just how their different characteristics and abilities may be able to help in a variety of conditions. He had crafted through specific cuts a few that would aide in healing. These would allow the advancement of the body's natural healing process. There were also other crystals that naturally were able to provide a small boost of energy to the healers.

These he would hand out to the members of the Circle of Healers. Were a healer to exhaust her energy, she would be of no use then to the patient. No, Rhen would insist on assisting in this manner so that they would all be able to do their best.

He knew there were others out there attempting to identify what could be the cause of it. In the end, it would do no good if they healed the natives only to not know what was the root cause.

Far beyond the forest and steel world of Terminus a lone station slid out of hyperspace and into the system at large. Born of Demonsgate durasteel and built above the planet of Kal Shebbal the new Com'rce trade station was here to begin testing. Stocked with the latest Uukaablian medical equipment it was here to help heal the wounds of the rebellious people. Guided in by a pair of GR-105's the station slowly headed towards its new testing grounds.

Section Three was finally ready for the installation crews to start working, even as crews in Section One and Two continued to install the necessary components. It wasn't the most intensive section to work on, considering it was mainly storage area for the supplies for the drydocks and the station personnel, but it was important to work on nonetheless. Blast doors would be added in, along with security sensors and cameras that would be linked to the command center in case of theft. Ports for the concealed sentry guns were also being installed into the walls, even if the guns were only slated to arrive in the third wave of ships.

Jaxson was pleased with the progress already, even if they would still be working on installation for several days after considering all the components and the weapon emplacements. The tractor beam arrays had arrived with the second wave though, and he was directing those to be added to the docking arms at least for now. Others would be added as defensive emplacements to trap enemy ships or to move ships in and out of the drydocks.

[SIZE=9pt]Allyson snorted as this old man decided to gloat that he could out fly her. Little did he know, she was a Corellian and on top of being a Corellian, the girl was a raw talent with mechu-deru or technomancy as what her ‘master’ would call it. Shaking her head, Allyson began to settle herself into the ship. “Posing for action shots? I should space you for that. I’m a rogue pilot - I take all my missions seriously.” For a brief moment, the computers in the ship flickered and went dead. After a moment or two, the system came quickly back to life as if someone had shoved a bigger battery into the unit, even the lighting was brighter. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]The X-Wing shot through space heading towards the coordinates, the nav computer beeped steadily as they drew closer to the last known location of the impstar. Allyson didn’t move much in the pilot’s seat, she felt the life of the fighter flowing through her as she allowed her mind to become joined with the machine she flew. At times she wondered if her affinity to this side of the Force was why she was so keen on ships and other forms of tech. The X-Wing moved without a hiccup, it was an extension of herself as it moved dodging anything that came towards it. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Pace was kept with the other x-wings that had launched, but suddenly, The Moist Peach came to life and thrusted forward at top speed. Allyson sensed something ahead and as she drew closer the first of the two Impstars made an appearance. She didn’t realize she had strayed from the group and began to search from where and if any tie fighters would be coming out to meet them. It couldn’t get away, they had to shoot them down or manage to capture it. The faster they get this done, the faster she could get back to working out a plan to find her former teammates. [/SIZE]

"This is Wraith One," came a voice over an encrypted Alliance channel. The voice was obviously being distorted by some kind of vocal changer. "We are coming on off your starboard flank, vector oh-two by minus seven. We'll hit designated bandit squadron Kresh as they peel off."

The markers for TIE squadrons were slowly being categorised and marked by the Alliance Battlespace Management systems. The SIS squadron had been lingering in the area with several scout ships to help find the Impstars that had decided to play a game of hide and seek. Asmus couldn't resist the chance to join an operation with his old Squadron even if they weren't permitted to know where he had gone. As far as they were concerned he had taken up a job as a test pilot with Incom.

"Wraiths I've marked our approach vector. Formation Besh-three. I want to keep it loose and keep those TIEs occupied and give the GADF a clear run on that destroyer."

“Red-Five, I got eyes, flank from the right. Rogues we’re going left.”

"Affirmative, Rogue Squadron. Flanking from starboard." Alyce replied as Rogue squadron filled the battlespace around them. Red squadron flanked to starboard and up, letting Wraith squadron come in low relative to them on the starboard approach.

"This is Wraith One," came a voice over an encrypted Alliance channel. The voice was obviously being distorted by some kind of vocal changer. "We are coming on off your starboard flank, vector oh-two by minus seven. We'll hit designated bandit squadron Kresh as they peel off."

"Copy that, Wraith One. Red squadron is coming in high." She replied, pulling her X-Wing up at a steeper angle with the rest of Red Squadron. Once they had a good distance between them and Wraith Squadron, they banked over in a loose formation and zeroes in on the Impstars. "Red Squadron is targeting enemy formation Osk, followed by hitting Impstar Two." She reported over the encrypted Alliance channel.

Her squadron banked slightly, and opened up into a wider formation with the center pulling back from the edges to create a bowl. The formation of TIE fighters labeled Osk came in hot and screaming, firing straight down their throat. At a signal from the squadron leader, Red Squadron returned fire by volley, turning the space red with combined fire. The first several TIE fighters died as several weapons streams aimed at them, overwhelming them from many angles. Red Squadron didn't get by unscathed, however, and several damaged X-Wings peeled off from the attack run. The rest of Red Squadron pushed forward to the edge of their acceleration, aiming for a close in strafe on Impstar Two as the TIE fighters they had blown past tried to turn and catch them.

Pella watched the assembled group as they took in the design. She'd ensured there was a full colour holographic projector in the room because at the end of the day even veteran pilots could be drawn in by a pretty ship. She'd even told marketing to go back and change the colouration on the display model and to add some decals. The little things made them look just a bit more professional than their competitors.

"As you can see the S-foils are offset from each other so they don't meet when collapsed. The swept back upper wings give the pilot a better view through the canopy, which is an augmented display. Twin intakes on the front give the ship better performance within an atmosphere than one large one. The second offset scoop acts almost like a turbo on an old fashioned petroleum engine."

"Very nice," the rear admiral interrupted. "Can you give me more details though. Specifically against the requirements?"

Pella's smile was slightly forced at having been taken off track. "As a reminder the disclosure you all signed means these numbers are not to be shared outside of this room. Is that clear?"

Along with the new Headquarters for Aurum Saccs Bank, Danger would invite the local businesses to open new accounts. By hiking up the savings and certificate of deposit rates, she could cater to the local population. There were also free credit and savings accounts with zero fees that could be part of the promotion deals. It was just a matter of ensuring that the customer base was aware of just what was available.

Loans and financing would also be products to promote. Aurum Saacs was to be a full service bank, one where customers could have peace of mind and feel as if it would grow along with them through their life events. Home ownership, new business, and promoting in investing in these opportunities would be the start.
