Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

The rest of the children they spread out for... taking their time to hunt them down as it wasn't about being faster.. the children after they were caught were greeted by and with the emperor after all. He made time to take care of them so that they wouldn't be bored and ruin the chance to remain hidden for the others. Junko using the force was technically cheating but they didn't know that as she also used it to keep track of them and make sure if they tried to move and sneak around them they would be caught as opposed to the ones who remained hidden and tried to find the perfect place to be able to hide out.

The empress herself was making it a fun game as well as she got a chance to play around and be fairly carefree like she had been before everything... a rather nice change of pace to what became of her... now Junko could see why she had been loved by several at court including the old emperor. Add to that she was a skilled ballerina who could dance and move perfectly getting around the hallways almost silently with her foot falls and it went a long way. "COme out come out." She presented it and gave them all a chance to really escape when they went into the room and found the second to last boy his sister with him but they made a show of missing where she was.

 

[Junko Ike]

As Junko walked past her a second time the empress snuck around her fidning the girl from behind and wrapping her arms around her. "Got you." There was a squeel of excitement and the girl seemed to not know for a moment what had happened but Junko was laughing with her as she grinned to herself. "Looks like we got all of them empress... shall we head back?" SHe said it and the empress nodded to herself walking back with the two children holding her hands as they went. SMiles on all of their faces when they entered the room and saw the other children piled onto the emperor who was being pinned in mock combat.

"Ah good reinforcements have arrived." He said it and waved a hand to them to tag in as the empress tapped it and started on the pile of children playiing lifting and hefting them off of the man. Junko helped them both while she looked over a few things. "THis is fun and I shall leave you two to it." She got nods and smiles from everyone involved but slipped out of the room being rejoined by her handmaidens as she was walking. THey would be able to figure out a few more things after all here and get some information but first... well she looked at Min who was there conversing with a few of the other twirisians the atrisian born twi'leks with their pale features.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko had a smile on her face seeing the twi'lek... always nice to have some of the handmaidens among others who made them happy and between the others well Min seemed to open up more... also helped that they had adapted those slave girl outfits most saw as iconic into a sort of uniform. To walk around in and show off their bodies. Each of them physically fit.. overly in some ways with muscle and definition to show off, their lekku oiled and smooth with tattoos that would make supisy happy if the smuggler met them... likely many of the same attitudes as Min who seemed to have embraced the Atrisian style of hedonism but with a serious edge to it.

There were others here, some of the deligations from the other worlds in the system and they were using the newer sideways teleporters for getting between the worlds... the first step to really connecting all of their planets if they could manage it and handling stellar distances... more so well... Junko had a grin on her face with it. THeir green and yellow skin was more like jade and their sunstone here. With newer geometric tattoos that could be made into atrisian script patterns to denote clans and where on the worlds they were. Togruta as well with some markings for the children of half Atrisian born natives.... the newer generations and like many among them all wanting the emperors approval.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko continued with a few more, she had things to do and couldn't spend all of her time here in the palace.... well okay she could spend more time but she wasn't looking to make a habit of staying for too long. She was getting what few things she had brought with her handmaidens and they were making their way back to the teleporters. A quick means to return to her palace and she would be able to head out and join the others in a prepared ways to oversee more of what they were changing. "It is all looking better princess we should be able to return your duties once we get back with minimal disruption."

SHe bowed her head to that and was prepared for just about anything that they might be able to do. She had prepared missions for travel to the other worlds and they would be able to meet with the leaders there.. based on her previous experience as welll Yokubo would be fun. Amalia was a great person and she had met her just fine for now. Junko was looking at more and she said goodbye to the emperor and empress as well as many of the children but they would all see each other again soon enough... no doubt there would be a festival for all of them to be reunited or a party from one of the lords or SHoma's birthday.

 

[Junko Ike]

Oh goodness she had nearly forgotten that... kind of but not really. Her birthday was something private.. she didn't make a massive deal of it but Shoma was their prince.. the heir to the throne... he needed the grandeur and spectacle.. he needed the multitudes of people all around him and throngs of singers, dancers... presents from around the galaxy as they try and get favorability. Oh there were so many things to plan but they would be able to dfo it if they did it right.. they should easily be able to handle it after all. "Well we'll have to add that to the ever growing list." SHe said it and yeah her list of things to do was getting larger but... worth it.

She would also have to well make a point of her own... with Amalia, Latyuo, Supisy well she was going to have her hands full and doubted she even knew what to do with them. Amalia was the best choice long term but she was also the one furthest away.. she was involved in much around Alderaan and the galaxy... Latyuo and Supisy were well lovely and beautiful but Latyup did want a family as she saw it a traditional one which meant husband and wife.. which she could understand... Supisy enjoyed what she enjoyed... no shame, no regrets and most of all no problem with sharing but getting her to settle was an endeavor.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko preceived what she could about her potential lovers... of the three of them well... she couldn't choose and be fair to herself but she also had not been expecting there to be three. She had stumbled into it and suddenly found herself. SHe would have to do more and learn what she could because fairly certain odds like this were the gods of atrisia and the force and irony... all plotting against her with either intense luck so she could play one of those multi billion credits lotteries on several worlds and win or she should try for something ambitious.. more so then what Atrisia already had been doing in terms of their advances in technologies.

Junko stretched out as she entered the teleporter room and bowed to the ones attending to it... the engineers were some of the best and their guards to protect from dangers some of the most loyal on Atrisia as she watched them all head through as she went. The sensation different as she got used to it and returning to her palace she could see the inner chambers and her handmaidens arrayed there for her. A smile on her face when they started walking through the palace going over all of the information and with each success of the network well they were able to better stabilize it, too better improve upon it and expand it.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was looking at some of the other technologies they had here as well.. aside from teleporters they had developed for these chambers the materia which was programmable matter. Thicker right now and insulating it from disruption. Their advances in biot technologies had the controllere biots that were standing there at the ready. LOng hair and sharp features.... able to direct the combat, medical and engineer biots that created a stronger force of the military. THey didn't need to sacrifice their people but they could also with the standing one haveseveral times the strength that their population allowed.

THey seemed to be working on further reinforcing the chamber as well as the power supply... her island palace being set up to be one of the most secure on the island compared to other places for the sheer need to advance the shielding and armor technologies going itno the equipment. They had seen from the eternal empire a bonding material for the molecules that reinforced it and added no weight... a special means to increase the strength and power of their stonework would be beneficial if they could make it able to absorb turbolasers from the sky and withstand lightsabers. Junko was looking at some of the other advances they had going into these areas of her palace.

 

[Junko Ike]

Those advances were in the research labs underneath it and she entered the lift to head down. With a grin on her face as she felt like a mad scientist heading there... Her handmaidens around her and one of the biot engineers who was assigned to give her regular updates showing some talent. She had the datapad all ready for her as Junko looked it over. THey were developing some recreational equipment... the standard things a futuristic and advanced civilization did for fun... hoverboard but more sturdy then the ones from darkwire which were more seen as punk and rebellion style. These served function and form.

There was also work going into advancing their vehicles.. speeders for around the city but they were not going to be ships... smart roads and airways that could be directed and contained allowing them to use advanced fertilizers in the air to super grow Atrisia and restore large parts of it. The idea of the cities, villages and towns being modern with traditional while outside nature has been given a boost and connecting them is the slipway network of teleporters for ease, smart roads and airways for trtansferring goods and supplies if needed visibly... all the while making sure they were protected and the ecosystem maintained... ideal.

 

[Junko Ike]

There was of course more to it as well with their encounter from the drengir they needed to be careful... need to proceed in a way that would see them able to maintain and protect in case of other hostile threats that could have been seeded upon the world at any time throughout its long long history as they were learning about thanks to the Chi-Oni. There was even more as their hollow world... deep below the surface held some fo the ancient wonders they were known for... technological wonders that allowed them quite literally to compete with ancient civilizations that were long gone and what had allowed them to expand outwards billions of years prior.

That revelation and history was well still something that sat with them and they had revealed it to the people rather then hide it.. the people seemed to take it in stride compared to others and realized the other part..... they had advanced and been struck down so one had to be careful about hubris... had to be careful about expanding to far to fast that they woudn't be able to hold their worlds. The Commonwealth well was working on many of those aspects and if they could manage it well they would slowly return to glory and expand as needed where needed and connect the worlds through use of the anshin and teleportation network.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko had a chance as she could see it and expanding the Commonwealth in a way that well was subtle would be important... if they could reinforce first their worlds... connect them in a way that would protect them and secure them. Reinforce them they would be able to slowly absorb systems and worlds... the slower process to better do it and with the advancements they would be able to implement them across the commonwealth quickly if need be. A sort of universal implementation was the gal.. almost instant communication and changes that could be done across the planets.. across the people but without having the full domination and control.

SHe was able to see more as well... her thoughts drifting but they had worked on upgrading much much more then others would have though. Intentions being made clear at least and the better equipped commonwealth forces could march on some traditionally hostile forces taking them on and out... It wasn't perfect.. they needed to work as a few aspects but... they had been starting to upgrade and improve the navy forces.... incorporating chiss, zeltron, twi'lek, mirialians, togruta, atrisian and mercenary forces into a single unit able to strike hard, fast and proviee the aid to the common people they were trying to aid.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko knew a few other militaries were part of it, Atrisian commonwealth brought in aspects of a dozen worlds that might have been too small to have an effective naval presence over their world.... but they could supplement it... their ships added to a dozen other worlds plus the commonwealth being added. It aided them, allowed them a chance to defend their world and help others but they didn't have to throw their everything into expanding and bloating their military presence. It just happened that it would also help them out as some worlds had improved upon designs or concepts that made them special compared to the others.

"Princess we have some reports." Uzaki was there and Junko was looking at the woman as she was prepared for... anything really her handmaidens was a tough warrior so if she was bringing the report it was likely about combat and something that would involve a fight. Well more then likely... she also was looking for the update about Barca which would come to her so there was also that chance... a smile creeping across her face as the jedi master stretched herself out for the moment. "Alright, hit me with it. I want to hear about whatever problem we have now so we can go and solve it first before.. I get a chance to sleep."

 

[Junko Ike]

THe comment got her a small chuckle.. a tiny one as it was true, she solved a lot of problems.. she worked on them.. she would strive for the people and they rewarded her with well being awesome towards her and making sure that her endeavors were not ignored or forgotten. Junko was looking at many other aspects for it.. she wanted to really work on it and help in the future. Between all of them well they had been building a much more secure Atrisian society... one that benefited all who were there... it also benefited her and the princess was able to see the financial reports from trader of excessive goods that her palace produced and the Commonwealth sold off.

HEr families trade hub was also being used and their massive facilities, here and on other worlds welll if she made easily billions they made more then the rest... but that wa to be expected and the Ike family dealt in a lot more as they didn't just trade credits... gemstones, spices, silks, materials, crystals, entire starships... they were a cornerstone of the invisible market which was for the most wealthy and elite... no prices as if you had to ask you couldn't afford it... and they didn't need to be ruthless about it.. they pushed and strived to be rich but also use it to benefit the worlds that they were on build well just about anything.

 

[Junko Ike]

She knew Matsu at least did more and her well her time as the new silver jedi grandmaster was going to be something to see... if only because she was there in the beginning... so getting to likely be there in the end... something few could do but she would help protect her order even if they had a history of abandoning and exploiting the good nature of some. She recalled her assembly days and how it was more or less a popularity contest with everyones favorites able to do whatever they wanted. So she would be able to help out where she could and when they faded from the galaxy well it would be a long time before there was a good replacement. The GA already barely did much.

So the Commonwealth did what it would and could with outreach and aided the silver jedi here.. they could augment the supplies needed.. they could vastly improve manufacturing though if Matsu needed her help it would be something... they could at least aid with the development of new biomechanical ships like the choushin which did grow the silver jedi vessels that were used and not part of their more orthodox Mon Cala vessels... more angular and bubbly. Junko finding a place to sit and pour over her reports as she wanted to get more financial information from the Phashi for their investments across the galaxy.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could also see some of the other investments... their niche atrisian boxes were an important thing.... trillions of subscribers paying a premium for them mostly for something that took roughly ten credits to set up and they sold for one hundred times the eight thousand worlds.... seventeen trillion plus near eighteen trillion paying for it monthly.... they had a revenue stream that could rarely be matched flowing in and that was only a portion of the galaxy... whole areas were opening up and new subscribers almost daily. So that they would be able to almost practically generate profits and had accounts bursting within the various clans and houses.

The banks in the galaxy also served, since they did the investing to get them to convert from Commonwealth to galactic standard they had savings accounts meant to be protected and they were favored by the clans since it was trillions upon trillions of credits that they had and was collecting interest monthly... they were well they were collecting heavy interest here.. and the Arceneau banks that danger ran were still up from the southern systems... the red head being a major player still at all times as her banks held billions from the Commonwealth but also Junko at high interest monthly.... there was more within the governments but the fortunes were next to impossible to match.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko would be able to check a lot more as well.. she had the tools and the talent after all.. that went a long way... it was something needed and her bank accounts well they reflected that as she transferred some funds to fund other research products across the galaxy. THeir means of acquiring and looking at auctions in case there was anything of interest went a long way as did well funding new advancements.... she even had a dozen or so non-profit charities she donated to and it still wasn't enough across the galaxy.. they would have to work at it and some of the other aspects. "Well this is looking better." SHe said it and looked at one of the reports.

"Interesting." She said it and the report was financials from one of the smaller shops that she invested in. THeir little cakes selling to offworlders who paid a premium and it was going well... the regulatin and sale of good to outsiders well... it meant they charged more and spread a portion of the profits around. In this case several hundred million in profits as each cake sold for the price of a handful of star destroyers to be built on the cheap... she wasn't going to laugh as it was mush easier to grow their ships and encase them then well build from straatch and then be sold the goods that were worth just as much.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was also looking at some of her items that had been bought from across the galaxy... random niche sellers were always presenting their wares on the markets and... sometimes she found things of interest... or unique materials... there wasn't much in that way now but there used to be... or someone would try and sell their personal equipment for outrageous marked up prices and it would amuse her. Atrisian and Sasori products though were also there and sometimes they got bought... not always as some items were offered but no one could afford them but it was some of the most advanced in terms of technologies.

She scrolled though and found a few things that they might be able to see... but there wasn't much there of interest. THe best things were usually bought quickly or sellers rarely offered... she would be able to work on a few things when she checked it all out. SHe debated selling some other thigns but there wasn't much they wanted to leak out there into the galaxy.. that they offered their engines, hyperdrives, teleportation technologies and evedn now programmable matter was saying that they were trusting and it was still at a premium... the kirano and boxes might be the best sellers that they are able to offer and it was bought.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko chuckled her herself reading some of the other reports... product wise... Sasori wasn't producing as much but it also didn't need to... few markets could beat them and they had the highest grade in just about each area.... even the constant stream of neutralizers that were meant to compete with their biots... were inferior on the whole. Made tough but they lacked the finesse that came with the riginal models which was why they couldn't be grown from the smaller packs and medical modules. Their weapons technologies were also not needing to be augmented when they could multi function and barely be touched by others.

Still Junko was looking at what would hopefully be a slew of new weapons and technologies being released.. some plans for Atrisian armors and Commonwealth enhanced components... Latyuo and Supisy were working for them afterall and it would be beneficial to protect them same as what they would be able to offer with Alderaan... Amalia and Faith would need something maybe. Then better enhancing their explorers gear and technologies for connecting the jedi temples across the galaxy now that Matsu had opened her cosmic gateway.... yeah that turned out to be a thing and the silver rest had the only functioni99ng entry point while a dozen others had exit.

 

[Junko Ike]

There were other advances like their improved ships which were still outpacing in terms of speed and durability in the market.. that they were able to advance and install the hyperdrives with more features for it to move quickly... only meant that they had a rapid attack force that could be sent around should it be needed and they would be able to double as ground force reinforcement with walkers. Atrisian soldiers in terms of armor had lightweight and highly protective suits designed like the best power armors but with non of the bulk.. their weapons were able to function on several modes allowing them to handle various situations.

She knew they were also working on things like the new embassies which would come in handy for outreach and making sure the jedi had a place... Alderaan and maybe Naboo or coruscant had a place to meet and talk. There wasn't much but the district for them was being rebuilt using the advanced pocket dimensional technologies. THey were building more buildings with it to start and improving upon them so their large cities were even larger allowing more population and improved security that was needed. The didact power sources were still unmatched across the galaxy and reaching the ten year of service... which for them was maybe a fraction of a fraction of the one percent life they were estimated.

 

[Junko Ike]

She mused to herself how much well work went into the research and how much they had managed to get through with... technological dark ages were still a thing... most of the galaxy seemed happy to keep the same things but with small innovations... then everyone claimed they were superior in making a breakthrough that had already happened. THankfully Sasori was better in most cases having already done it and the Commonwealth benefited greatly from well Junko and Matsu's dogged refinement of their things... on both sides. With others like Sor-Jan who was a benefit and even Hanna or Alli Wren... they had a team of people able to do much.

The lists of other vendors and companies across the galaxy went a long way to show as only a few had touched on dark energy like they did... the one company proclaimed that they had discovered and invented it but then did nothing with it... one or two others used it for niche projects... small scale and they seemed to have the reactors at sizes most would be able to use for planetary generation of power.. which Sasori had developed those as well to make an entire planets power grid have either a back up or a primary... have several of those around a planet supplimenting a grid that was on the surface and you could power a world.

 

[Junko Ike]

There were other projects that they had managed to develop, the choushin were well... their living trees were just that living and evolving and might change if they were continuing to work with them but it was a question of what they could foster with the force trees rather then the latest updates.... she knew they were working to infuse more of the force into the trees and if they could with the progenitor it would slowly trickle down to all of the others. The massive arbor that had grown and allowed them to develop a new type of living ship for the Commonwealth and Sasori basing the lightside nexus within it.

THey would also be able to if they were lucky develop a third generation of the atrisian fighter.. improving on the initial design that they have been working with and presenting it as a much more dangerous and impressive design... perhaps improving its walker capabilities and what other systems would be going itno it. IF they could then it could become one of the better combat and escort models to trickle into their stealth and western wolves design.... Oh more possibilities were coming to her mind about what they might be able to do and figure out if they were lucky. THe jedi princess wanted to have each of the walkers serve as much of a purpose.
