Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko sat therre as she sipped the tea and was able to see the Vahla come in to join them... sleek in body and standing tall. With shorrt hair as she bowed and Junko greeted her. There was no doubt about one thing as she laid down and Junko spoke with a smile on her face. "Lovely." She got a grin and paid as the foods were brought out on a cart and she could feel the heat radiating off of the womans abs as she laid there posing a little to give the best angle for heated surface. Junko laid some out as there was the different seasoned meats cooking for the. her and her handmaiden presented even more of the food as some veggies were being cooked.

"So are you allowed to talk with the patrons in this place?" Junko looked upon her and the woman nodded. "We are but some do not give us a lot to talk about." That got a nod from Junko as she wondered how to speak with her. Well mostly what sort of conversations they could have... perhaps it was awkward but she was providing a service and suface when she lifted one of the pieces of meat to her mouth and blew on it a little to cool it off. "Perhaps but I have been enjoying the recent trends on Atrisia... I know a lot of worlds have different opinions but opening up and asking if the galaxy would come here to tour... It is better then I imagined." SHe said it and got a look for a moment and then there was a realization on the womans face. "Oh frak you are the princess."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko snickered at her reaction to the situation and while she didn't try and cover up like some did she had a look of surprise on her face. Junko using the chopsticks to pick a piece of the meat up before eating it. There was some veggies and her eyebrows raised. "Yes... yes I am but shhh don't tell anyone we don't want them jealous that I have the best looking personal naori." Junko said it with a wink as the vahla nodded to herself. Calming down for a moment but she laid there and Junko stayed at the ready for anything as she and her handmaiden were eating. Getting to have more conversation with her... learning about many of the vahla but she was running a lot hotter from the embarrassment.

Junko was eating with them before she sipped some more of the tea. "Most delicious." SHe presented the cup for the vaahla who used her hand to heat it up from the bottom with a nod and bow of respect from Junko... she was giving them aa whole lot of different foods to cook. The meal went for a few hours and Junko finished up with her as she thanked the vahla paying the credits for it and leaving a tip. Exiting the restaurant as she looked over as the rest of the street. She knew they had over indulged and it would make her tired but oh it was delicious. She was more then happy to have it as she moved towards the street vendors.

 

[Junko Ike]

The different vendors presented foods as well as drinks... street teas might not seem the best but they were the ones usually trying the hardest to impress. Which was nice as the one she had was with a little spice to enjoy. She was surprised at how it tasted and it gave a little tingle to the back of her throat. "Hmm perfect." She needed to be careful about more over indulgance but everything on the street tasted so good and her handmaidens were there with her... THey all presented much in the way of enjoymentas she walked along with them. Taking Tripitaka's hand to just enjoy the moment as the Anshin was a feat of modern Atrisia with hardlight holograms displaying wares for the different shops.

"Princess there is so many people here... I forgot what it is like being in a bustling metropolis." SHe said it and Junko looked at her with a grin that got wider. "Yeah, I do take all of you out to the most remote locations don't I?" She laughed and got a few snickers at it... there was more then enough to enjoy in the moment before they were checking on a lot more of the Anshin... the shops for clothing were an important one as they were more modern yes but also connected to galactic fashion choices.. she was looking at some of the jackets and shirts with various jokes upon them. If Shoma was here or Sor-=Jan they might know which ones were supposed to be the most funny.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko continued to look through the clothing... she found a few shirts and a jacket that were different in design then what she was used to which was a good thing. "ALright I think this is the best we are going to find." SHe said it while they went through a few more things... namely shoes and some stockings.... the leggings were there before the jedi master allowed the force to whisper to her and she could sense something off in the distance. She could feel it in the force and knew it was Matsu... of course it was Matsu the woman was family but she was also big into the whole making a spectacle of the force and how she was able to use it.

Junko was feeling things out and she felt more was coming as her attention went to the deeper areas of the station.. the Anshin as she exited and could see a viewport was meant to be massive... was meant to be for the Atrisian people and it was. To preserve life in its different ways with reinforced superstructures and viewports. That it also protected the newly populated moons would serve them just as much in the long way. Her eyes drifted to the bags of clothing, shoes, leggings and more as some of her handmaidens were carrying them as well as their own. SOme of the guards had been given things for a more casual look when here on the stations.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was walking as she and Tripitaka with the others went towards the ships... She would be abel to transfer and go out towards the planet again. THey didn't need to check out much as there was a whole lot more information coming to the AI's that she had helped develop and set up. For the other worlds development... then for their trade and business they had the Ohashi AI's which coordinated with each other to truely automate with direct control from the human elements so there wouldn't be a possible AI uprising. The Commonwealth wasn't going to make a series of unshackled AI's that could threaten the galaxy.

The pair of them and the others arrived back at the private porrt as she entered the ship and all of her stuff was put down and around the ship. THey had clearance compared to many for the ship and the gleaming golden look of its center showed almost pure aurodium which was enough mined to turn the ship from a commonwealth vessel to one of private wealth. No one in the galaxy could match it or her swimsuits that she was able to wear. The sleek black of the superstructure did give it a distinctive look as well when she entered it and Xifang waas right there for her to meet. The massive tigerr greeting her and Tripitaka as he rose up frrom lounging around.

 

[Junko Ike]

Xifang moved next to her and stood at her side mewling for a moment as his head rubbed against her chest with a smile appearing on the jedi masters face. "Yes yes yes I missed you as well." She said it with a smile appearing on her face when she started to walk into the ship and the first things on display was the marble interior... instead of metal it was black marble laced with aurodium. Gemstones and other metals forming murals and images... hardlight displays and classical artwork that has been set up. Junko could see the alcoves that were designed for statues and smaller artifacts as just the first hallway of the massive ship was dedicated to tens of billions of credits.

The hallway gave way to one of the chambers and it was filled with larger statues, diamond encrusted displays and clothing that was fashioned from vine silk... high expensive robes thaat had been made for Junko from fashion designers from around the galaxy. The richness of the food that was in display.. her droids and handmaidens moving around the ship. Presenting her with smaller trays of food that had been cooked... the more intricate aurodium and kyber plates they were able to use. Wines and other drinks from around the galaxy in crystal glasses that held them. She had her displays of solari make ups she could apply as well as the finest brushes for it

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at much more... clothing and some of her equipment was one thing but the hanger bay of her ship had a rack of vessels... a fighter from Atrisia, a jedi fighter for different scenarios but then she was able to see her sekuma class and it was meant to be beautiful. Sleek in its design and limited production meant that they had been able to do a lot more with it in terms of capabilities including what was at the time a prototype hyperdrive that became standard across all of the vessels. THe fastest in the galaxy compared to others that she was seeing as well as some of the best weapon systems.. the tactical advantage of self replenishing variable cannons, warheads and defensive shielding.

THen she was able to see many of the vehicles that could be deployed including one of the basilisks.. a jedi version created by mandalorian allies with the vanguard cannons. Junko had some more. Herr biots had stocked and kept the ships stocked as news of attacks on Tython were coming through to them. Reports from various groups but the Commonwealth didn't have much they would be able to do. THey were pushing themselves compared to a few others but she wasn't going to endanger their isolation... they were being ignored by the galaxy finally.. they were not being attacked and being allowed to develop many of their efforts to rebuild.

 

[Junko Ike]

Her attention though went to the growing endeavors at Tython which was a lot closer as it seemed many more were coming... it was massive and reminded her of Csilla in scale.. it waas a dangerous stage of the galaxy and she would have to contact Shoma to see if he would be able to organize something akin to aid in case it turned out to be like the chiss world itself. SHe would flag it more and send scouts to observe as needed... they had the large monitoring stations that served in this function so it would be easier and some of the best stealth ships and anti stealth technologies... so observation wouldn't be hard.

"There is also the Nobuna." She said it to herself and grinned... that would be something to use if they wanted to aid but do it from a distance... the nobuna was a powerful ranged hnyperspace inhibitor. COmpared to the rest of the galaxy they were experimenting with interdiction technologies on a scale few others could match and had managed to make hyperspace tractor beams... able to cross vast distances even across the galaxy with a narrow interdiction beam. It would certainly be a way to better their own chances and keep problem cases away from the Commonwealth... or if they were able to activate and use hypergates to block the system off except from key locations.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe information was there as well as a few other developments.. something she was surprised was came as a message from Matsu about the state of the silver jedi... they werre odd and the silvers themselves and her had never ended on bad terms... she had simply been left alone and eventually stopped interacting with them. Her fmaily had been there from the beginning but it wasn't welcomed it seemed at the time... however Junko had hoped them well as they slipped more and more into some sort of compromised position working with darksiders and other governments to become highly political instead of a jedi order.

That she wasn't just going to be back there with them but was possibly... more then likely assuming the mantle of grandmaster as the order shifted towards whatever it was... surprised her but it didn't. Matsu was smart and one of the stronger jedi that they would benefit from having. She wasn't going to deride her skills but it would be an uphill battle to try and bring the silver jedi to heel and contain the beast that Iella, Aika, Coci, Sochi, Rasu and Matsu cause yes she was one of the founders with Thurion and a few others. THey brought the order back and were there for much of it... now they were all largely gone from the view of the newest members who likely didn't know who they were.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at the news and there was a alot more... updates about their interactions as needed... Matsu would be there if she was and the news she was being pushed by some of the members to overtake the position within the order would have to mean that they were desperate. Made her snicker to herself as just a few years ago they were all up in arms about being better then her now they needed her. The jedi princess was hoping for a lot to happen that way she could at least keep the commonwealth out of their affairs unless it was really needed. Likely this would bring Hanna in and she loved to bring Hapan affairs which would bring the lot of them as the Hapans allied with the Atrisians.

Junko was able to see more as the offer for a fighting tournament was there again.. the grand arena had been trying to find some of the best fighters from atround the Commonwealth and more they extended themselves outwards... the galaxy was allowed and all would be able to compete within it. She hadn't given it much thought but now... now she could have some fun with this... it was a better time as it werre and she accepted setting the schedule to get to the island and the arena so that she would be able to prepare herself. It was hand to hand and skill based which helped so no need for weapons and they would all be given gi's to wear so no one had armor.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko stretched out as she was on the ship and they had set the course.. the ship would arrive at her palace and she would take her airship to the island. To arrive in style yes but she would also be able to tone down her recognition a little... they would announce her... she would be part of it and from the looks they were banking on several famous fighters from Atrisia itself. Soldiers in the war and two Wukong who were coming to fight for charity means. Alright... there was even a couple of offworlders who were famous from different worlds. A mandalorian from the looks of it and she was seeing a wookiee which would and could make this into a very interesting fight.

She was interested in it and the jedi princess was able to see some parts of it. She was in the central and upper area of her ship as it headed back towards the planet and there was a lot here... the crew were some of her best and paid to be loyal but also loyal from the houses who serve her. SHe worked hard to ensure their service and respect... loyalty was a key thing as the ship aarrived towards the palace docking at the private hanger where ikt was designed to fit and become a feature of the palace itself. She could see from the massive window and her throne in the bridge the people in the distance milling about.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko was just enjoying it as her throne was aurodium with gemstones and some of the finest vine silk cushions... basically designed to as soon as she sat within it to contour and make her body comfortable.. then it had cooling and heating depending on what the situation needed. A small option for a foot rest that would massage her feet and knead at her muscles to make her comfortable. If anything it was another sign of her status and wealth that she would and did use to distinguish herself but the chairs on the bridge for her crew were not much different... everyone was made to be just as comfortable. They were important to her and a stealth ship needed alert and ready crew.

"We are making final preparations princess, we'll be able to dock and have things transferred to your airship quickly and have informed all needed of your destination." It also helped that she had a captain of her guards and handmaidens who were honestly some of the most impressive in terms of their skills and she wanted them to be better... flash training to turn them from fighters and spies in many cases into elite operatives was another thing as if they could get a fraction of the skills of some of the handmaidens of naboo who were tasked with protecting the queens then it could be a dangerous and powerful thing. She had improvements in mind for what they would be able to do as well as newer armors.

 

[Junko Ike]

That was going to have to wait though as they were moving... Junko going from her throne towards the larger airlock that was attached to her private walkway of the palace. Opening up as the small shield shimmered and against the air you could barely see it. HEr handmaidens were there as well as guards but they had the large area around the palace secured as some of the most protected sections of the island with droids and soldiers. THey were taking a lot more precautions with the danger of attacks but Atrisia itself was a thousand times more secured compared to many other places across the galaxy. She could see the white marble of the palace looming in the distance and smiled to herself.

She entered the palace as the walls went inwards and a waterfall appeared... designed to fall from the rooftop river that fed into the different areas and was created by moisture systems using super cooled rods and the heat of the sun. The water it produced started here and made them highly self sufficient. It went to the garden with all of her statues and here it obscured the doors leading in through a wall of water that spread open with the doors allowing her to walk into the palace itself. The sound of water falling around them when they went inside and JUnko could see the private gallery of her own clothing on displays. Models of planets suspended above as well as ships that were replicas yes but she owned many of them in private hangers across the galaxy.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see more of it as she went able to see some of the ships... most were Sasori models as they took flavors and styles that were popular and improved upon the designs. There were a few others that hadn't been in the galaxy and a few that she had bought in the underworld like the strange power armor droid... it was massive and powerful. There was a few unique ships that had belonged to famous spacers and force users as well she managed to get. It would serve her well enough if she was using them. She had this palace but there was also different hangers on worlds that housed extra ships or some of her more private ones she preferred for the worlds.

Junko moved towards her chambers and she would need to prepare herself... she had a tournament to get to.. she needed to wear the armor they were going to use and it would be able to be worn over a kimono so she needed to pack for style. Her hair pieces were something important as well. SHe needed to be ready for a fight and her katana was there.. mushai the blade of the Ike family and of Atrisia.. one of the many famous blades that they had across the world and that were among countless lost. She knew others were out in the galaxy compared to these and some were on colonies... but they would find them hopefully... they would return them to their ancestors and the homes of the clans.

 

[Junko Ike]

With mushashi at her side and the underkimono so she could get the armor the jedi princess was starting to head back. They had some things packed already for her and a couple more hours to rest in the airship when she checked over a few things. Junko stretched out her arms and her mind as the palace expanded going towards the airfield.. her airship gleaming golden sides and gunmetal colors. With flags and soldiers on the deck of it... Intersparced with her handmaidens who were giving her plenty to oversee as she stepped onto the deck of the ship. There was signs and projectors for them to cheer from the crowd as well as plenty of others who were coming to spectate the tournament.

Her own cheering section not to be outdone there were her handmaidens and a few warriors.. ones who could sub in or would be able to act as her second in the event of a fight requiring it. Junko was going there not for the fame and the glory though that would come.. the winnings were going to be abel to be used for endeavors that needed credits as opposed to filling her own coffers which were already substantial. Rebuilding and investing in many sections of Atrisian enterprise as well as within galactic enterprise was a major thing. She would gladly do it as many companies were pulling out ahead in the marketplace.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko walked towards the airship and she was seeing her room that had been set up. Her handmaidens who were more accustomed to preparing her for a fight and seeing her in battle there as were her guards... they would be in the arena after all and Junko sat down on her bed. "You really want to do this?" SHe looked up at the aging soldier... her oldest friend and bodyguard who was only a few years older then her but she had lost her husband and was a spearmaiden..... now at least before she was just as much a warrior and her daughter and son were both guards of Junko's young and inexperienced but they were guards who had been brought along as she smiled seeing them.

"I got you guys and will be.. it is for charity after all and non-lethal." At least in theory they had energy dampeners for the weapons and it was made to do everything non-lethally. Accidents happen but the jedi princess was looking at this as a positive as safety measures were taken by the arena to make it an attraction anyone could participate in. Junko was checking out and rechecking her equipment was ready as the airship was leaving.. it wasn't going to be a long trip.. the islands were fairly connected even if you couldn't see them. The under water mountain range meant all of the islands were easier to travel between when she breathed in and out.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe paused and waited as the air entered her lungs and she held it there for a moment... allowing herself to enter a state of calmness... allowing her mind to relax and not focus on anything around her. Just there here and now... the movement of the airship as it went over the ocean.. the sound of the water crashing below in waves against the smaller islands. There were thousands of fish below them... colors in every shade of the rainbow that swam around. Below them in the depths she knew there were predators of the oceans but they were in balance... deeper below that were even larger fish, some predators, some prey.

SHe was able to find the inner peace she needed while they continued to move forward... towards the island and the arena which was famous... well all of the things were but the arena was well known for its grrand design. Massive and able to hold hundreds of thousands of people.... various configurations to the ground work allowing different types of fights.... reenacting famous battles... even the ability to flood it with waters and have naval battle s in front of the people. From an engineering standpoint it was like a hardlight training deck without the hardlight technologies. It was all real and practical which meant it had massive cages of creatures from across the galaxy.

 

[Junko Ike]

She had seen the arena before and checking out many of the other things they had here... it went a longer way for what she wanted to do. The jedi princess rose up and went to the window to look at it as they passed the barrier of the islands. The sea wall was a mixture of natural rock formation monoliths and technology with hydrostatic shielding to keep out predators. Cleaning and preserving the waters here allowed them to all be blue and almost crystal clear... no large predators and just a bunch of fish and clams. The sea shells were some of the largest in the galaxy and were able to be used as boats... the pearls invaluable to be sold if they were large enough.

She was loking at the massive cliffs that were then shown and they held the city. Sprawling and ancient with hundreds of waterfalls and bridges a it had been built onto the surface of the mountain and went with it stretching and bending across the island. The cliffs themselves high above impossibly deep depths which allowed for the challenge of diving off of them usually to find pearls at the bottom in the sand. There was still so many more things here she could see and make out before the massive arena came into view and the crowds were massive. SHe could see many of them coming in to look at the different processions for the different fighters. banners were set out as the airship moved into position.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko exited the airship taking a moment as her guards and handmaidens were setting up her banner to present it and give her the entrance she needed. She waited for them as they set everything up and the music started... the procession going with two handmaidens flanking her as Junko looked around at the crowds there... all of them cheering and welcoming her here. The procession went past the archways of the arena and there was more people gathered... all watching the fighters who were still coming in from other ports. Junko went and stood in the center of the arena where she could see more were here.

There were other fighters from across Atrisia and even across the galaxy.. she recognized a wookiee from Kashyyyk whom she had worked with in the temple of the daughters... the floating temple was impressive and the fighter there was well a beast but they fought large creatures like sharks and gators. As well as the normal shadowlands creatures. She could see warriors from the horselords were here.. their thick muscles and colorful outfits could be seen. Junko stodd there in her kimono and there was her blade at her aside... no lightsabers for safety since her was made to counter many restrictions.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko took her position there.. the one announcing them all sounded out. "Princess Junko Ike of the Atrisian Royal house." The voice said it and cheers came, contestants looked at her as her hand came up to see the other before waving. Some looked glad to see her and some looked surprised... a few others looked upset but there was a good amount of reactions as she finished. THey didn't linger on her or anything which was nice... announcing the next one. "Lady Sayuri of the Kansai mountains." Junko turned her head to look at the woman as Kansai did have some beauty and the mountains were Keisei territory.

The woman was there in a sky blue kimono, jar'kai blades on her hips as she held her arms up high and got cheers. Applause from Junko and the others... Her black hair shiny from exotic oils and spices and the atrisian princess could see scars on her face from claws. THe look of another she could see. A large kuran woman with her dark skin gleaming from sweat and oil. Darker hair in a thick series of braids that were tipped with metal caps. THen she had a hammer... massive and it looked like it was as big as Junko as her armor strained against her but where others might see it as revealing... Junko could see the freedom of movement she had to swing that massive hammer and no obstructed view.
