A sewing machine clicked, a small rodian woman sat still, hands guiding the fabric. It wasn't slavery, she was being paid for her services. She sat, the room next door to her being decorated as she worked, Aurora Connections Limited, the store front on Courscant coming along. The final painting was underway and the final few roof tiles were being bolted down to the roof itself. Aurora Connections Limited, the brain child of Ember Jay Allison Amber Riley, a company dedicated to keeping soldiers safe on both sides of the One Sith and Republic war was in the process of designing the newest line of armor. Civilians could also get hold, if they had the money.

The Aurora Shadow Armor was designed as lightweight armor to be made with flexsteel shoulder plates and armorweave overlay. Duraplast was also to be added onto the armor, covering the chest. The gloves were designed as an optional extra, duraplast gloves offered hand protection but limited hand and wrist movement. Spidersilk Elastex formed the mesh below the armor, offering resistance to blasters and vibroblades. Spidersilk Elastex was a material that Aurora was going to be using quite a bit.

The sewing machine clicked, the rodian woman taking her fabric from the machine. She'd been sewing Spidersilk Elastex together, forming a seam that she could work with later. Over in the metal working areas, a group of correllian men were working, beating duraplast and flexsteel into shape. The armor itself was to be mass produced in the Courscant store, being shipped out to the edge of One Sith space before being carried across to Republic Space.

The backroom of each store was a factory, it was the nicest way of putting it. Men and woman working day in and day out to mass produce items for the boss, Ember Jay Allison Amber Riley. Yet, they had good jobs. They were paid fairly, they only worked a three day week. Other staff would take over, and there would be rotations. Lunch period was two hours long plus Ember took her staff out drinking every so often. She was a cool boss, laid back.

The boss opened the door, took a seat at a sewing machine.

Set to work.

Silently, Ember Ridley set to work, clicking her sewing machine needle into place. She held two sheets of Spidersilk Elastex together with her hands, allowing the sewing machine to guide the fabric, hold it together with jet black thread. Other variants of the Aurora Shadow Armor would have dark red, almost maroon, thread and black thread, other variants would have black and white. The armor itself would be died these colors. It was meant to be shadow armor, thus it would be kept dark.

The Correlian men in the metal working station would yawn, continuing to beat flexsteel into shape. One would have finished already, handing his flexsteel chest peace over to the rodian female. The rodian would take the flexsteel chest peace over to a finished Spidersilk Elastex mesh. She would use small fabric pins, pinning the chest peace into place, ready to have it sewn onto the mesh itself at a later date. She would sit back down, clicking her machine into place, continuing where she left off.

Ember would stand up, yawn and carry her finished Spidersilk Elastex mesh over to one of the stands. She'd been working on this mesh for a few days, glad she'd finally finished. She grabbed the rodian's mesh, taking it back to her station. Grabbing a hand needle lightly, she began to sew the chest peace to the mesh, making sure to use jet black thread to make and connect the seams together.
