Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko was also able to see some of the others who were sent to team up and share alike with the chiss... different atrisian allies aside from zeltrons.. there were some twi'leks, togruta, mirilians even Inosuke were there and Atrisians that wanted to learn the Commonwealths multidiverse fighting culture that had been created. A massive melting pot of discipline but... it benefited them as they got skills many others did not. It was a core to how their expansion well worked as they adopted practices which benefited their skills... then reverse engineered as it were and refined them to become the pinnacle of their own techniques.

"Now this is a little better." She said it with a smile on her face... the people here were going to give the cold shoulder as it were but one still needed to be careful and not reveal it all. The princess getting looks and bows from the others who presented the pair of them with datapads that they would be able to review in most cases. She was going over some of their reports about trade lanes and patrols.. they had worked to defend the lines and protect several of the special projects that were going to be used for their improved military development. Raaiders and pirates that normally went after traansports were becoming raare as a sight and threat.

 

[Junko Ike]

Mara looked at her and between the two of them... yeah this was a little easier... these chiss were easier to talk with... were happy to work with them and it gave Mara well something more to do as well. the admiral was well different among them as well as Neifong appeared. The seasoned Admiral of the Atrisian fleets here coordinating with more aas she walked among her entourage. THe outermost planet in the system provided a tactical advantage aand the admirals were not meant to be territorial.. she came and went from here as easily as any of them for the express purpose. Beifong was also well one of the few who might give Mara a run for her credits in terms of stoicness.

"Admiral Beifong." Junko bowed her head and present her hands in respect to the woman who had given a lot to Atrisia... including her children. On far off battlefields. "Princess, admiral it is good to see you here... I had heard you got to well meet with sounds so formal... what is better for were dismissed by the houses." SHe said it offering a smile and Junko laughed while Mara had the dignity to not say something snarky to her... better as a chance but it would still be something to defend them but well she had agreed and there wasn't much else that could be done while Beifong brought a hand up to dismiss it before directing their attention.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at the two admirals and nodded. "Being dismissed was expected, they usually do if we are lucky or aare so busy they can't see us at the time... or requests so... sadly I have gotten used to it. I'll make do though as we always do and head out to explore and continue to explore Atrisia and its surrounding moons or planets in System. I know Atrisia Five has been given a new discovery that requires some attention and there is always the construction and population efforts of Atrisia two." That got some looks as well their more advanced model of Atrisia was... well meant to churn out some of the most impressive.

"I have been there they are doing a lot to improve upon it. THe shipyards on the inner system are getting more work then some might realize at first." BEifong said it and there was a chance... a slim chance but still a chance that well the inner system would be just as populated and managed as the rest of the system. THey were developing long range and the mid-range stations that would function to defend the system and their relays as well as boosters for the transportation network if it a lot more in ideal situations for moving between the worlds and around the planets themselves once there was enough of the power sources.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at Beifong and nodded. "THe shipyards have been pumping out different models... with well... with our trade to other worlds in the Commonwealth we have been able to make and fulfill orders to them and are vastly improving the various designs to work with the new systems. That we have developed a lot to support and give the ships better quality of life within for longer trips or even the means to shorten the trips well... it has also helped. Advanced cargo holdss and management means they can transport more products, securely and with safety at least along the routes we are able to patrol... so profits of our trade partners have exponentially increased."

THey had seen a lot and sales outside were always good, now they were much higher with work from the galactic banks and systems. To set the value of Atrisian products... well they were making more profit compared to others and their goods could be traded for exponentially more. A bowls worth of their rice haaving the same value as a multi kilometer warships wasn't just helpful for ensuring that they got the best of everything it was hard to overlook that they could with one cargohold make an excessive stockpile of supplies. Beifong and others were able to aalso secure other military assets in this method.

 

[Junko Ike]

Mara and Beifong were looking at Junko as she spoke about the profits of the Commonwealth and the princess shrugged. "WE all have to look at things a certain way... the Commonwealth is a government and it needs the credits to function as well as trade deals with outsiders. So the better we can make them, the more lucrative they can be in giving us exactly what we need IE.... better credits when we trade them then what we spend to import the better it will always be. THat most in the galaxy seem to view Atrisia as some backwater aids us in our planning as well since it means when we present to them our higher quality technologies or excess supplies... we get the best."

Also helped that they managed the banks and to help with exchange rates, currently Atrisian currency was worth so much more then a galactic standard that exchanging was more then enough and for tourism well they took what they could get from whom... as the ones coming for a trip and it was all they could get without the luxuries were given just as much as the ones who spent credits on everything. Return customers paid more in the long one then just one or two whales that only spent at select times... and their credit management AI's would be able to adjust as needed to ensure the best resultss for all of them.

 

[Junko Ike]

Mara and Beifong bowed their heads in acknowledgement of Junko's wisdom or explanation at least... really there wasn't a whole lot and all they were doing is preforming like a government... with some idealized virtues that one had... it helped that they were not going full control over everything and allowed the market to determine what was sold and what survived just they heavily stacked it in their favor to the outsiders of the galaxy itself... they would just have to continue to do that if they were lucky at least. They had a lot here and the world still had more going on as the chiss served to aid the Commonwealth.

Beifong had other things for them aas well.. there was the reports of well the system borders. THey reinforced and worked on it with stations and in some places minefields to control the flow... advanced detection networks were designed to limit unmonitored entry aas well as cut down on sneak attacks which was important to their overall surviverability. Atrisia survived in many ways because it looked to limit being caught unaware of threats. More so they had developed some of the best in terms of recovery technology for rapid rebuilding back stronger then before... and were use to random attacks from unknowns looking to do something important to them or governments coming in to save the backwater core planet.

 

[Junko Ike]

The two admirals were presenting Junko with more here... more that she would be able to look at and more of a plan for what she wanted to do.. which was first head back to Atrisia prime since well the houses made it clear that they were done here... she would continue her grand adventure to explore and go around the planet... maybe stop at a few of the other worlds and moons aling the way back or check on a few things but she had no reason not to return. She had princessly duties and needed to prepare herself for well... sure there was some party or even that was bound to be happening. THe nobles and even the people liked their parties.

"Then with everything taken care of, I shall head back and make haste... maybe visit a few of the other worlds that we have been working on and see their progress. I hear the beaches have been getting quite beautiful and now well now the atmospheric shell should be holding in plenty of pheromones so everyone feels better on our mini zeltros." She said it with a larger grin appearing on her face and was prepared for just about anything that they might be able to handle. She was even prepared for well news of dangerous results... the mission to Eisei was important and Latyuo and Supisy were handling that endeavor.

 

[Junko Ike]

The princess started to make her way back towards the shuttle craft with Mara and Beifong was joining them. SHe could easily use the shuttle to get to her own ship and the three of them would be able to head back up as Junko looked around at some of the chiss soldiers and some fo the Atrisian as they joined her. She went into her runabout and they were heading back up as the princess looked at the snowswept mountains and parts of the world. It was longer nights here as the sun eventually reached and the rotation of the world was a long time but thankfully with the anshin and terraforming they were able to retain heat now.

"Apoligies that it was not as productive aas you likely would have preferred princess." Mara said it and another apology was usually a bad sign but they would make due as needed. "It is sstill quite alright, I am not certain what I was expecting but we'll just use this as a growing experience and I will go check out the floaating city of Atrisia VIII as I know the Inosuke at least like talking with me.... usually they can be difficult to read." Mara chuckled at that and the chisss had met the Liran and Inosuke with a strange reaction another blue skinned humanoid after aall if only they had pantorans here who liked the snow.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at more as the shuttle went up and up out of orbit to the anshin they had... there was other sections for them to see and the shipyardss that were working from this angle showed their ships. INtricate and sleek in the design it was giving a sight to behold as they headed back to her ship. Others dropping in... a Hapan battle dragon that was being welcomed and Junko moved as Mara seemed to be checking something. "It seems a Hapan ships with several Hibana is here... or new ones aas well as coming for a pick up." She shrugged and the Daughters of Hibana were well just as they sounded... something that the Atrisians had.

"I welcome new ones... it has proven aa most beneficial interaction." The Consortium.. well depending on which version and government had been friends... now it was a handful of worlds that worked with them as relying on the leadership was more time consuming... they could do it.. they could make the success only to have their efforts pushed away five days laater with a new queen mother taking power... so different house would have to do. Junko though loved meeting the amazon like beauties and they were exotic sith some Atrisians having been stolen by pirates long ago there were one or three groups on some of the worlds.

 

[Junko Ike]

She also liked meeting any number of their perspective Commonwealth allies or simply friends... ancient colonies had proven fruitful in the past and more so now. The shuttle returning to her ship as it gleamed and Mara as well as Beifong would be able to do as they wanted and take one to their ships or if they had a meeting scheduled for the two of them. "Well thank you at least for taking the time to be around me... I'll find a purpose to get off of the planet once again... sometime... somehow." She smiled at the two of them and shook hands seeing them off while moving through her ship. MOre of her handmaidens there when she arrived on the bridge and went to her chair.

"As productive as you believed it would be?" Barca said it from the one corner standing there with Uzaki as both of them had a small pile of credits between them and Junko smiled. "WHich answer makes all of those credits go to me and neither of you two?" SHe said it and Barca snorted. "THe one princess where Barca doesn't get to say told you so." Min said it aand was sitting there at one of the consoles as she could see Thuria whom haad prepared their course. "Set course for Atrisia IV... I aam thinking a small vacation maybe... or at the least there is a chance we can find one of the planetwide parties they have started to throw."

 

[Junko Ike]

THat got eye rolls and grins... Atrisia wasn't always about parties but their zeltron refugees and allies were important to them... they were there and escaping the cataclysmic changes that were allowed to devastate their economy and world that destroyed much of its appeal and beauty. They were rebuilding.. slowly and using large portions of the credits they made to fund their homeworlds rebuilding efforts... which was important to all of them... also helped that they were able to hold their free and fair elections... an offworlders proclaiming themselves queen and never relinquishing the position long after the others would have well... it was similar to what Atrisia had faced.

So she understood much of it and well the new king and queen of the world were pretty fun going... if anything they provided plenty of insight with the emperor and empress into zeltron nobility and skills... they were free loving and party going people... hedonistic sure btu they were also highly skilled and more then enough to really present themselves. A smile playing across her face aas they set the course and were going towards the larger asteroid field to move through it and the security field of laser gates and stations. THe Atrisian rings of defense designed in a way that yes it packed and impeded but was laid out to protect.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was able to see as they went and from her ship as the Admirals departed she was looking at her handmaidens who were there with her on the bridge of the ship. "Take us home... or to a party... or the bearest beach of women." Tat seemed a good plan and Tripitakaa set the course as she was controlling the ship manually for the moment... a better means for them to work on it and practice getting past the massive fortress world that was being built. The screens and indicators showing the hyperspace breakwater of gravity that needed to be navigated to move into the rest of the defenses... the inner planets opening to them.

"Setting course princess." She said it and stayed there as the speed of the ship picked up and they were able to move around... her skills getting them through a lot more before JUnko could see other Commonwealth ships.. the military vessels paatrolling aand watching.. the massive stations that were used to create interdicition checkpoints and scan everything was also important. Paranoid sure... but the people dind't make much issue about it... after all of the attacks from outsiders well anything coming into the system was suspect and they were if not happy at least accepting of the means to try and prevent attacks.

 

[Junko Ike]

The ship was heading in more as they were able to pass all of the patrols and scans... it was clear that it was Junko and they were broadcasting with all of them having their interfaces on which... well helped the AI's match biometrics to everyone... no extra people on the ship or something hidden. It moved more things along and while outsiders might consider it invasive... well security was important to ensure the proper freedoms that could be enjoyed. THe emperor and empress wanted to allow better lives but they were not stupid to just allow anything... a strong moral and ideological foundation was used to determine morals and what was taught to the children.

There was more... culturally while the Commonwealth was diverse in many ways and accepted others who might not be Atrisian.. it did spread itself to them and slowly work on converting to a common cause.. it was not always the greatest but as Mara had said they were planting seeds for another generation to benefit rather then just forcing many others to follow them... influencing, aiding and in times yes fighting but never with the intention of outright domination... Junko as a jedi saw nothing sinister about it they allowed the others to accept it and didn't manipulate or kill to make it happen like some other species had.

 

[Junko Ike]

They passed the next world.. Atrisia VII was for the most part still being worked on... the settlers were making headway but the world was much darker compared... the areas that were not cold were usually overgrown and there had been some resistance. THe local creatures were large and rumors of strange happenings were there but... the Atrisian forces along with some of the Wukong were able to subdue it.... mostly it seemed like when they left things moved back in quickly just waiting for them to leave.. So they would have to play this smart compared to some of the other plans that they might have or be thinking about.

THe ANshin was being set up here as well which well it was for all planets in the system so they would be able to use it and them in a way few others could... hopefully.... it was best to have several production facilities for their ships and equipment... might mean travel needed to be done but if one of them was attacked the others could easily pick up the slack with their overproduction quota which saw a massive stockpile for the Commonwealth enough to arm everyone three times over... and then food to feed all of them for years. She could see some of the Mirilian ships that were there providing protection and Togruta.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey passed Atrisia VII and were head towaards the important worlds... the inner system after the asteroid belt were all highly populated... with a lot of the commerce in the Atrisi system taaking place there as ship did move in and out.... a carefully regulated and controlled trade line that saw many things exported to other worlds and even more being sent out to worlds across the galaxy. THe influx of credits allowed for the more opulant stations that bordered the worlds and were within the asteroid fields... massive in size and serving whatever needed to be done. More so the rich families used them as staging ground for their business.

That improved and cut down some costs as the bulk orders they sold to governments and outposts sometimes are exponentially high prices after the conversion rate was settled. It allowed them to bolster their houses, pay their people and kick up the amount needed for repairs and infrastructure from the emperor and empress. There was even a station being built to house orphans of the wars whom needed homes and education... the empresses projects to improve the lifes of all throughout the Commonwealth was an important thing to her and all supported the ideas that she had since they didn't take credits until everyone else had been paid.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at more of the asteroid field now that she could relax here... the asteroids were raw material yes but were also used to create the artificial defensive staations... loaded with fighters and gun as well as their security grid which when activated well it functioned to randomly create powerful lasers for handling craft already being pelted by asteroids which are taking down shields... it is why there is a danger in asteroid fields to ships and the larger ones could just be pelted by larger chunks they can't dodge. THe stations gleamed on the surface and going between were smaller vessels like the runabouts.

THey had other shuttles thaat were going around and that could be used... the jedi themsselves who came to aid them and Sasori were important that they were helping in the establishment of the bases here... military stations which could function with the station asteroids and security grid to saturate and fill the barrier between the inner and outer system. THe various worlds were still glad to fund it and since they used local it did mean th credits went back to the people.. the outside labor was welcomed as there was plenty the people would be able to do to help maaintain and expand Atrisian interests and they offered some of the better benefits.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey were arriving towards it, the main station that was set up for them here. It was designed as the head of the stations that were set to monitor the asteroid field and link with the other main ones. The exterior ring around the system, the inner rings towards the sun and that functioned with shields to protect in vital areas some of their more important research stations. THey didn't keep everything close to Atrisia but it was kept within the system for them to be aable to protect... and then hidden away as they used mirrors and scan blockers to conceal it THey passed by it and through its larger scanners getting the green to proceed further into the system.

"We are heading towards Atrisia IV princess and should be there quick enjouigh." SHe said it and they could see Atrisia V there.. the world of Rei'izu an ancient force world many had thought lost... well not lost but scrubbed from records. the jedi never even knew it or if they did then they aavoided it... the ancient kyber mirror on the planet was something that they could all look upon but fairly few did and the settlers who were colonizing it mostly settles in the mountains away from the temple out of respect... and cause they were working to conceal it with the Wukong who were establishing themselves now.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko remaained in her seat while they were looking but she could see plenty from it... the planet was beautiful and the terraforming haad been easier... it was mostly habitable without it just thinner air... now there was more and a mist had settled over the planet.. the mountains were high, the valley's shrouded and it gave it an air of mystery which worked in the favor of the crystal ghost deer that were on the world itself. It also served because it was a place force users could be in peace... maybe there was legend and rumor of something on the planet itself that was alive... that the world itself was living and had been of the darkside but they didn't really notice it as much.

THe anshin thaat was around the planet was largely a Wukong led facility with buildings but more temple like in the interior and districts... flooded with more religious groups from around the galaxy and the Commonwealth as the Atrisian force users were strict like the jedi but respected some other force traditions that served the light welcoming them as brothers where older traditional jedi might keep them at a distance. The new silvers didn't as much embracing which aided it andd the new jedi order well they were them and they left much in their wake who wanted a place to come and not be monitored and controlled at the whims of the senate.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe could see more on their displays and the work there had somewhat changed.. they haad moved from the moons of Atrisia the choushin production facilities... growing force trees should be done in a force user controlled station and area which here would be easier with the borthing chambers on the moon and shipyards on the anshin. THey could aalso make some of the Wukongs equipment for use outside of their main temple on Atrisia... a better and secure means since Sasori developed a lot for various force orders and Atrisia supplied even more worlds that they helped through its outreach and placements. "We are coming towards Atrisia IV now."

Tripitaka saaid it as Junko was seeing the world and with the Anshin around it there was a lot but the hue was changing.. the atmospheric shell had been given artificial pheromones to match the zeltron and they were making it more and more like Zeltros each day... the defensive measure of the pheromones was well known as soothing and why aarmies hadn't invaded zeltros and lasted... or even joined the zeltrons in a party and gave of their crusade... it was potent and strong and the zeltrons new defensive force could aid in that endeavor with its moons serving to train soldiers and police forces as well aas manufacturing high end technologies with hardlight.

 

[Junko Ike]

THaat was on one of the moons, they had developed advances but then another worked to display them as a new hologram fun world... without the influence of the ultra dangerous red queen who was confined on zeltros... the neo hologram fun world for lack of anything was just as large with better hardlight... a massive tourist attraction that boosted the economy of the planet itself several trillion there in providing the Commonwealth almost a never ending source of income that trickled up to them and was spread out among everything... from the people there on the world to normal citizens... the stipend from the government for anyone who lived there well... was substantial compared.

JUnko had a grin on her face as they were docking at the port itself... fireworks going off and plenty of dancing in the streets. She had went to her room for her latest fitting as her aurodium bikini was made to fit in and reveal as much as would be needed without just being outright lewd considered to some. Junko stood there and pulled her hair back over her shoulder letting it go to her ankles while she modeled for the appraising eyes of her handmaidens. "So what do you think?" She asked and stood there getting grins and nods of approval before she headed out for Elegy only to return a couple of days later with a date.
