Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko was checking on a few other things here.. the people down below the island well.. they did other things then just function and work... they were her primary manufacturing and cultivating... like the rest of Atrisia they were working on appearances and having it look like everything above was simple was considered more important in general terms then it was functional... helped that functionally they had developed the more advanced technologies... but it was all to aid in the looks of what they were doing. SHe knew down here they had also stockpiles of equipment such as weapons which would serve as a backup armory to their soldiers.

It also served as her droid and biot facility here on the island.. she didn't need tens of thousands but.. they were here ready to flood out from below and provide back up to her soldiers... hell there were hundreds of these facilities across the planet which would be able to in the event of invasion send up reinforcements to aid their forces which continued to grow and expand. A back up army wasn't a joke but biot droids and combat droids were well.. beneficial in that regard... also there was the surprise element as they could be in all major cities and sealing the walls would be able to ensure no civilians in danger just enemies and their forces.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko knew a few other things... thanks to Barca giving some advice and their other mandalorian allies who were on the world they had dedicated warriors bringing adaptive tactics to their more traditional means. THeir soldiers were good but rigid formations could be highly dangerous when facing smaller forces that would injure and pick them off or larger groups that would seek to overwhelm with forces... so their superior technology and tactics would be important as there were helicarriers that could go around the planet and while slower moving held hundreds of fighters upon more ion and anti infantry/fighter cannons.

THey also held in the holds of those carriers the atrisian/sasori model of wardroids... mirroring and inspired by the Basilisk it allowed their heavy soldiers in power armor to literally drop from orbit to mess with and smash through defenses. THey also had the massive tank walkers that would be able to move quickly through the streets and then could shift into walkers that would be able to lock down and secure an area. The narrow and carefully designed streets were made so that they could lock them down and restrict movements into chokepoints that would be beneficial in a battle itself. THen they would be able to move with their gentoku and scouts.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was looking at more as well this undercity to the island served in other purposes as well being the prototype of what they could and would be able to do. She wanted to improve upon much more of it as well of course with improvements for the larger cities... where they would be able to do a lot more as well. She didn't have a hanger or three for atrisian fighters after all and then there was the other vehicles and support craft that they controlled and used as needed. The jedi princess was able to see much much more being needed but their design plans were just as important if they were careful enough.

She exited the open area and went back into the hallways that gleamed from fresh cleaning... the droids really working overtime as children and the other played in some of the rooms as well as the smells of food being cooked. SOldiers were there but also the workers and even some of the clothers... seamstresses who were taking an interest and allowing themselves the better chance here. "All looks like it is going well." She said it with a smile on her face and was getting nods. They had some designs to show her for new Atrisian clothing options but also armor or uniforms for the guards... thanks to the materia they used well it could be both.

 

[Junko Ike]

Some of the other clothing was being an important aspect of it all. The distinctly atrisian design was used the galaxy over by others... so they needed to be able to differentiate and show others sides or aspects to it. The kimono's were not just clothing material they served far grander functions and were made to look beautiful with higher functionality then normal clothing... the built in personal shielding systems was one of those aspects as well as the fact most were able to handle blades and blasters and even lightsabers regularly without being sliced through. Then well there was its ability to mimic clothing which was important.

Junko could see other things like the belts and sashes which were used for additional equipment that they could slip into them... then there were the shoes... geta which functioned for style as well as actual shoes and boots they were able to used and would protect them as well as allow the Atrisians to move around better with micro repulsors, gloves and tunics, even sun hats which functioned to make for a beautiful display. She was able to see a few other things that they werre presenting here as well... from parasols to screens and most importantly as she would have to say... swimsuits oh the displays were marvelous.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see all of them and well worth it as they didn't use the old hanger and racks... it might have meant less could be displayed but hardlight models thanks to it that showed and allowed various sizes to be seen. Adjusting the hardlight so it would display her body in the various swimsuits was helpful and it was what was done for other guests as well. "Perfect." The smile remained and she was able to see much more of this being done... other clothing stores adjusting to the customers so they got a good display and then yes the rack and hanger was there that they would be able to choose and pick. Also great for accessories she was learning.

The clothing shop here was just one of the things she could see... there was still other places as well... food stalls were not a thing underground but the buildings were large since they grew just as much if not more food down here with the technology then above... they had ample ingredients that were used and experimented with to make sandwiches, meals and any number of different things... the curried sauce to go with the rice was well.. some of the best as it added a lot of flavor and richness to it and then you could add a dozen or so different meats. They were even working on other items like riceballs filled with various ingredients.

 

[Junko Ike]

She could see many of the things being cooked in and around the smaller rooms... from toasted sandwiches to rice cakes and even meats on skewers. All of the people who were here presented to them a better opportunity to expand their knowledge and fill their bellies. Junko could see other things as it was with tea shops... each having their different brands and types... some going for exotic and some going for caf which wasn't as popular but well Atrisia could sell the special and grow it, various vine caf flavors which she knew went in the core worlds and across the galaxy for several trillion in terms of credits.

The rare blend seen on Atrisia as well exclusive and they even went so far as to buy out the few places that could produce it and vine silk... the rarity maintained since they had it stockpiled to sell and give out as needed to only the highest priced buyers.... supply and demand after all and they knew how to dominate in much of the galactic economy. THe spirits drinks wise were also there and important allowing many to drink up and enjoy themselves with the finest from hundreds of species or experience dancing from around the galaxy. All of that here in the undercity of the island and it was only a fraction of what the anshin had for tourists.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was also checking on well their daily commerce and market value... the economy of the commonwealth was important and well all of her merchants were valuable as they paid into it and the commonwealth benefited... helped that the better a province did the better they would all do in the end since high tide raises all boats but they would have to work on more of it as well the emperor and empress had plans to expand and with news of major galactic shifts happening... governments dissolving or falling into chaos well.. the Commonwealth would work to remain a beacon of civility and class... also it would be able to use this to continue to advance itself as Sasori now didn't need to focus on an entire government.

There was even more as the galactic map was shifting and they would be able to do a whole lot more as well she was checking on parts of it as it meant other resources were opening up... new avenues for them to recruit talented individuals or those with unique enough skills that they would benefit within the Commonwealth. Admiral Quee was an excellent shipbuilder and bringing such business to them would be beneficial for opening trade relations. THey would also be able to see with the collapse of the empire well some of the stranger Atrisians likely finding their way back here which could lead to who knew what.

 

[Junko Ike]

Of course as she was thinking of it well the massive galactic shift would also be a detriment as more Atrisians popped up involved in things and there was always a new clan appearing that was on another world and returned to Atrisian space to add or want what they offered. Not unheard of and they didn't judge usually the clan was there, did nothing major and didn't add to the commonwealth just sort of waved their hands around. She shrugged mentally at that as there was more to being Atrisian then claiming it and of course using a katana which they loved to show off to be distinctly 'atrisian' among whatever government they were in.

She could see that and it amused her... more then anything but it didn't really harm them or the plan. The Commonwealth was within the Galactic Alliance space and they worked well for themselves so if other goverenments wanted Atrisians they weren't really going to care and it wasn't like they were a hive mind it was just something to make a note of and keep tabs on in case anything might come from it in the future. SHe would also just have to check out a thing or two but Alderaan was more important then all of them and bigger... in many ways then what she wanted to be involved with... at least without having to be. Amalia was more important to getting affairs in order.

 

[Junko Ike]

She still had a few days and would need to get a few more things sorted.. this was all just fun while the information was compiling after all and it was good to come down here and check on the others. With her handmaidens filling in for her with was also good practice as they were standing around as usual with some looking like body doubles and switching with Junko as they walked for moments while others like Uzeki and Barca were well they were big and thickly muscled... not suited for being a body double maybe but they were soldiers and looked like bodyguards.. like when you had a large wookiee with you no one wanted to mess with you.

Barca was well... she was being Barca, Uzeki was much like Kirano... she was large, muscled and serious in her duties to protect Junko and the other handmaidens... Kirano was much the same and secretly well Junko knew she had a little sister whom she protected and their father asked she never reveal it. Main reason why when she had brought Tripitaka the bodyguard had joined as well... Barca while serious and a fighter was well.. she had the swagger of a warrior who knew they could win and it might have inflated her ego a little but she wasn't going to endanger them... Junko knew she was always observing and serious in situations.

 

[Junko Ike]

Barca though was just one of her handmaidens and their clashes of personality were... well a lot easier thhen some it helped they had a united goal as opposed to some she had worked with. Jedi in the silvers, republic and fringes had been often at odds because hey lacked a united front... at least with her handmaidens she also knew that most of them wanted her because she was pretty and her personality... that helps... it was what she could fall back on and Barca was there off tot he side with Min who bowed her head and smiled. The twi'lek was talented and knew what she was doing in most situations.. the others as well but there was also.

Phaidor who was there with Xifang an the atrisian tiger liked traveling with her but he couldn't go everywhere... if anything coming down here might be dangerous if he wasn't directly with her. Phaidor was also well.... Phaidor was PHaidor and one of the most loyal she had who saw much of her vision or ideas coming to pass... the emperor and empress had thoughts and the vision that she worked towards but when they were gone and itr was her and Shoma... well her brother and her had just as much their own thoughts and how they could change things up.. she was looking at the education adding a lot more as well.

 

[Junko Ike]

On top of the educational benefits which would see likely their students skills and testing increase compared to the galactic population there was well... they would have academies.... making sure force users and non force users worked together into aa strong and cohesive society would be important as well as a government system that wanted the best and brightest to improve themselves and show merit. They could provide the tools and the means... take care of them but they would have to be productive and helpful to over all the benefit of everything that they were doing. SHe had other means for it but they would have to improve upon it.

THen well then there was sections they needed to be able to do.. she wanted to improve starting from here the reforms that would be implemented and her subjects got the smaller end being refined and tested with them... but it also had worked in the past. THey were some of the richest in terms of credits compared to many in the galaxy and they had high productivity compared to even more... there was aspects she had seen like their combat skills improve as well as her handmaidens were accurate with snipers and blasters but also skilled with swords and vehicles... then that was before the professional soldiers like Uzeki and Barca training them.

 

[Junko Ike]

There was some alerts to her... things had rapidly changed it seemed and major announcements were going out across the galaxy... mostly of governments in the eastern areas disappearing and collapsing... the Concord seemed to be dissolving since well she knew Matsu looked at it as the jedi being there for a time and then they would move on to greater threats which was why they had gotten power chambers and the ancilla constructed as well as some of the more... interesting megastructures across the galaxy. Atrisia had the nobuna which well...no one knew about still and they hadn't had to use in a major conflict yet.

There was more she was ceertain but she knew her cousin.. their family endured and well she also knew that the Commonwealth constructed a lot of the ships and their choushin were not in pain which meant all of the living jedi vessels were not being attacked... helped and handy that features. MOre well she also knew that with so many governments disappearing across the galaxy like the empires and maw... well it would make things easier for many of them and provide some breathing room or the Galactic alliance would work to swoop in and overtake... that was also a possibility in many cases that they would have to deal with eventually.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was able to see some more things there... she took in the formation and was processing it mentally as more news was coming in... it was like when the celestials attacked and destroyed thousands of worlds... toppled many of the governments again except a few managed to hold on this time and were trying tro make it back... more than that some were expanding and flexing in the times... which to her was a good thing. SHe started designating where they could start allocating resources and many of their lost colonies were open again territory wise... they would be able to move about more freely and reclaim or work on them.

She could also see some other things... reports from Sasori and Commonwealth research facilities were coming in and they had production models of several new pieces of equipment... that was good... more so they had converted darakar to aurodium which then went into credits and it was highly in the Atrisian's favor... with one of the small ingots she could use like a scale in her clothing being worth over one and a half billion credits... translated and converted they were possibly the richest government in the galaxy capital wise.... and she laughed to herself once someone realized that Atrisian citizens were worth more then some planets.

 

[Junko Ike]

More then that they still had technology that was leagues better and improved compared to it.. the newest defensive platforms were dark energy cannons... designed to defend planets and give a distinct advantage to one side... they were not something to balk at and well she was seeing much more from them.. if they could harness the technology into a smaller scale or even more focus... if they could get it refined and produced for general use then they would be able to have highly destructive and defensive laser cannons meant to protect their ships and on a planetary scale. More then anything she was looking forward to the continued advances as better uses of dark energy did benefit them in other ways.

Refinement of the process for using it aside from the iso-didact meant other better uses... few things matched their power source with the kyber and sleg... so they didn't even try and touch it but they could still continue to refine it... better still if they could make the design exceptionally strong they might be able to match and become even better... as it stood right now few things beat the planet sized engine they had developed... powerful, and larger then most things but they were better at making them smaller and the didact was proof of that.. they just needed to really work on it and imagine having one of those needed but tens of thousands on a planet as backups.

 

[Junko Ike]

There was other things she knew they had... the advances in fabrication was important and with it well the levanring served a big thing as it was going to make manufacturing just.... well they already had a powerful manufacturing style and now they would have even more if that was possible... better in many cases. They had other aspects also showing now as she could check on it.... better food production now that they siphoned exotic food matter from other universes on top of their own... it was well.. it was maybe one of the most powerful since it meant whatever they produced was pure able to be sold or traded profit and they had little scarcity.

The Ohashi AI was well making sure much more went with it as well since they stockpiled the darakar.... their ingots that were designed to just quite frankly keep them ahead in the galaxy. She has seen the banks and knew there was a lot but having credits only went so far when some places didn't accept them... aurodium was easy enough to mine and they knew holw to use gree synthesis technologies that they could quite literally make it but flooding the market was dangerous so darakar worked within the Commonwealth as both could be exchanged and appeared as a sort of alternative for them to trade and gather.

 

[Junko Ike]

There was also well... the Commonwealth didn't need to expend its resources... they stockpiled, gathered and yes expended much but they also used fabrication technologies which allowed them to use resources from different dimensional planes and they were able to find infinite of those. They also could use it to essentially clean up and deconstruct trillions of kilos of waste and everything turning it back into matter that they would then be able to use and selling it across the galaxy they didn't have to do much.. they just needed to continue to make their products and their structures... well self repairing and sustaining for thousands of years which would ensure the commonwealth survived in a form or another.

Junko had found a place here in the undercity to sit with the other handmaidens and they were reviewing a lot more information that was being presented.. it wasn't just governments disappearing it was well upheaval as wars were going to break out and now they would be able to move unchecked... reports of the sith in a far off corner of the galaxy but moving fleets could take effort... and really well while she imagined the sith and alliance would fight eventually... she doubted they would have much zeal it was easier to make deals and prosper now that really any opposition to them was gone with the crusade and silver jedi.

 

[Junko Ike]

That brought up some of the other concerns... with so many governments disappearing the ones who hadn't planned for such an eventuality well.. their people would be suffering... she knew Matsu... she knew that she would likely have flooded power, fabricators and resources to the worlds so should it happen... when it happened the worlds would be able to function and have their own supplies... the Commonwealth had much the same but it didn't plan on bloating itself beyond the few hundred worlds within its area of influence and didn't need to go over the Galactic Alliance... really it just needed to stay under the government and avoid being involved with their things.

The Commonwealth also had a bigger benefit... their old colonies were receiving aid through Latyuo and Supisy... which helped... they had the new teleportation network and they had the krampus with anchor points... really if they did things correctly their could well.... they could have far flung pockets of colonies thanks to their terraforming... means of travel and getting there through entire sections of hostile space... resources and to top it all off... wouldn't have to have routes charted they would just have it and be able to stay connected their communication means was already handled so why not transportation and influence.

 

[Junko Ike]

With the advancing communications they were creating it would serve better to go with the transportation network.... make it so slicing into it was hard enough and the holonet was useful but they also presented the dangers... sterilizing it as it were... improving upon the design only for safety without censoring twell... if they could manage that then they would be able to have all of the means without the dangers of darkwire and other groups who exploited unsavvy weaknesses. THey would also be able to upgrade as needed and she knew there were ideas about defensive satallites or stations that were basically droid and fighters factories.

The stations would also serve as needed for some of the research as they were developing and with Sasori creating newer models of older technologies... few things could match their siege cannons which were stronger more compacted and designed to breach just about anything... but the added vehicle designed to trandport them and turn thm into a fortress as well as the ultimate door knockers was well... helpful. The same with their advanced power armor which wasn't fast but few things could scratch it let alone pierce its thicker and heavier beskar plates that were used to make cover for their soldiers.... Barca's model of wardroids for common soldiers also helped as she could lead from her own.

 

[Junko Ike]

Then there was also the improvements they had been doing with the fighters... the atrisian fighters were made like vulture droids and they could improve upon the modes as needed with the fighter and walkers modes each serving an important task... if they did it right they would also be able to set it up so that the walker mode would function like an advanced suit of power armor and not another juggernaut tank that was too bulky to get around... they wanted their soldiers to be able to get in, deploy as needed and handle situations not just be the powerhouses that tore everything down.. tactics were also important.

Junko knew they were also learning jedi tactics and training with force users as well there was a divide between the soldiers and wukong but it wasn't as great... not all force users were Wukong as those with martial talent and force abilities were fostered into scouts and put in units to identify threats or problems that they might need to call in aid for... same as having a heavy fighter, a melee and exclusively raanged fighter... then there was the ones who fought with low or higher technologies but they would be able to utalize things in any situations... from vacuum and zero g to higher gravity and underwater or aerial.

 

[Junko Ike]

Their soldiers equipment wasn't the only thing.. they were really just a part of it with training yes... then from there well attitude as while superior Atrisians were proud in many ways and traditional... they couldn't let that be the problem. The offworlder mentality of win at all costs and well as she had seen they would less adapt then try and beat the galaxy until it bent to their wants... Atrisians made it their way through sheer will yes but also by being smarter... this progress was going to go a longer way she knew as they were already longer lasting then some that had been around and governments were dropping across the galaxy.

The interface chimed alerting her and it looked like something else was moving... fleets towards the outer rim and unknown regions... Junko's attention going towards it before she sidetracked her own mind reviewing for the who knew how many times superiority of Atrisian works compared to the rest of the galaxy and why they were going to be forever around if she could manage to help it... she still had a date but this was going to be working towards changing that from the looks of it as if there was going to be another large scaale engagement and attack.. they would have to really work and try to help people like at Csilla.
