Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Her thoughts of shoma did make her miss the little guy... he was always off world and doing adventures like she had done once upon aa time. HIs skills as a diplomat highly regarded in the right circles of those who were his friends and liked that he would often buy them food or things... or use his name. Which she knew was the wrong attitude but his name was used a lot more for some statu then it should be for her. Most didn't try and use hers on Atrisia cause her guards and handmaidens usually investigated where her name was being thrown around so casually to see who it might be or if they posed a danger.

It mattered little to her... she didn't like being compared to some things but she also couldn't without going full tilt dictator police what others might say about her or their opinions. THey were allowed to have them and discourse could help as it might show where problems are... and so long as it was helpful and constructive... not just the tear down people cause I am envious of them and want what they have. She had seen it and Atrisia worked to quell such thoughts... equality of oppertunity and merit went a long way... so did the fact that they were curing or working to improve quality of life enough no one unless they want to victimize themselves and be purposefully behind would be able to complain.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We have most loaded and ready to go princess." Miyoung was there with Phaidor and Min as they bowed. THeir robes gleaming with the jaade colors... they had porters take the bulk back to the ship and it was just what they could carry with them when they were leaving. The repulsor carpets loaded with different equipment and spread out with the handmaidens and guards to take them back. Junko looked at hers which had Mahiri and some bags of clothing as well as a few gifts they had received from the family here. Her father was sending some art and stuff back to Atrisia and Junko wrapped her arms around Mahiri's waist.

"Oh I am going to miss being here with you." THey were taking off and heading back as she spoke. "It has been too long and might be again but I shall endeavor to come to Atrisia sometime princess. I want to spend more time with you and a chance to get a vacation might be needed.... merited as we have been doing plenty here as well." Junko thought about it and... well yes it would be nice... they could make a week of it and by then going to a hot springs... going to a spring in general would just be amazing. "We will have to do it... there is lot to show you and we have built up much much more. We are starting to improve our transportation network and it will be underground to not disturb nature.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko thought about it and the advanced tunnel modules were designed and meant to be used for the specific purposes of being set in and under the environment. THey would be able to preserve much of Atrisia with it.. they would be able to develop it for other worlds. THey they had before building the system managed to develop a slew of new materials... new components that would revolutionize it well just meant the project had been deterred to retrofit all of the work that they had. Materia in the place of duraplast walls and they would be redeveloping many of the other parts so the buildings off of it would be able to function as well.

THen there was the advanced living modeules thaat they were always looking to improve and if they could set it up properly they would be able to use the materia to upgrade it more and more easily. Instead of selling a solid state modules it would be a module that could upgrae itself... protect itself and as Sasori and Atrisia made improvements they would be able to improve the design itself. She could see it and much was being sold that they would be able to see. Heading back she could see and was imagining the benefit of the pathways being here under the sands as they would be abel to move around out of the heat.

 

[Junko Ike]

The rest of the flight back she was thinking about some of the other improvements that they might be able to bring about... giving a few of the ideas aside from the pathway... they could better reinforce the homes with the living modules that they were redeveloping. SHielding more advanced and with materia both variants they would be able to hopefully overly develop much much more of it. She knew they had more ideas for programmable matter and the New Cov biomolecules are... interesting enough in many cases. THey were looking for ways to use them in their development of materials and creations or upgrading them.

"It is beautiful." She said it and Mahiri was there as they arrived leaning a little into Junko and offering a small kiss on the cheek. "THank you princess, this has been a nice time and broke up many of the things we have going on here." JUnko nodded and she wans't opposed to it.. the Commonwealth hosted hundreds of worlds and moons and species.. allies and some were enemies.. Somewhere defeated but traded as needed... she wouldn't deny it wasn't perfect and the ones who were conquered were... questionable as Atrisia tried to work with them and for the most part they had become allies just tenuous at best.

 

[Junko Ike]

HEr ship was there in the port and she could see her droids working with the porters to load it into the cargo hold. THe train of equipment going in was worth the sight before they were heading to one of the upper hangers for her ships with a few handmaidens going to join the droids and guards making sure that everything was loaded up properly. JUnko was able to go about and look at some of the other things. Junko getting off and guiding Mahiri to the airlock with a smile as the hanger had her personal sakuma class in it... the fighter though it was large enough to be considered a small freighter honestly was beautiful with the massive chunk of kyber behind it.

"THank you for escorting me back." She said it with a bow and her handmaidens were unloading and forming a train to bring their various packs in. Quickly and toring other things like weapons or equipment with guards who would be abel to check them in for the armory.... though since they used the new fabricator for armories it was quite nice. The compartment there and opening up with racks for the weapons and adding it to the larger ships inventory if it was new and needed to be scanned. OR recharging the power if it didn't use the advanced sasori power cells. Mahiri was looking at JUnko and bowed. "IT is always a pleasure princess."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko bowed and embraced Mahiri again... letting her head off with a smile shared between them as she left with the other carpets... well all but four. THey were a gift she had said and it would be stored on the ship as needed. IF they could manage it just right then they would be able to hopefully do a lot more. Equipment wise the ship was getting a nice amount of variety from different planets and they would be able to get a few more with the additional space that was being created. Her handmaidens were moving around the hanger and the others rejoined her as she was heading to the bridge of the ship and stretched out going to her seat.

HEr chair in the center of the bridge was important... her grin while the crew was around and ready. "Bring us up and about... lets go home." SHe said it with a smile on her face that only got wider before stretching out and curling in her seat. THe softness of the arms supporting her back as it popped nicely and she could feel the pressure gone for a moments relief. "Oh wonderful." She said it and was watching as the ship ascended to orbit quickly enough. THe ship was fast and smooth and filled with so much art that they would be well worth it as they passed several shipyards getting to a cleared area to make the jump to hyperspace.

 

[Junko Ike]

The jump was smooth and the transition beautifully done. The newest model engines for the ship were near perfection. From flight to hyperdrives... more than that they were a lot smaller and operating with their own dedicated reactors so the ship had power draws all over instead of a concentrated place. It went a long way towards improving their vessels to be able to work while repairing themselves or even when damaged in sections. THe shielding and containment was going to be the next big thing to develop and install for it as they were improving always their technologies to the finest levels given the chance.

Sitting there in her seat she was able to see a little more of it and from the bridge throne of her vessel well she knew they could fight anything that went against her sight... which was admittedly a lot... not here but combining the mentality of a royal and a noble with a jedi was... not always an easy thing to talk about. She didn't doubt she was arrogant but compared to many of the others she had met... she tried to maintain self awareness over it... and only when they smelled or acted beneath or common in a way that embarrassed the order did she speak out. Her fingers stretched and danced over the console with the armrest and a smile on her face.

 

[Junko Ike]

The displays were showing them a few things that they had missed while on the planet.. while their interfaces had worked to show them everything it wasn't always enough. There were some news reports of mostly mundane things... Naboo seemed to be making moves. The Galactic Alliance was mostly... well the Alliance was the Alliance they did what they needed to do... and they left Atrisia alone that was the most important part in the endeavors. She preferred that as it allowed them to build themselves back up... trade empire and everything... or not trade they just needed to be strong and one of the best ways was economically.

"Looks like there have been some attacks in the outer rim." Barca was reading the reports and usually anything flagged with the Mandalorians was presented to her with some interest. "Looks like there are a few moves from the enclave." She was curious but interesting didn't always means important... them moving around at all could be interesting... Barca would tell her if there was a threat and her mandalorian interest had seen much of the Silver Jedi's heavy fleet used by the Mandalorians on Atrisia.. their own clan under Lau protected the planet and now they had access to their own ships that would work with and aid the Atrisian fleets.

 

[Junko Ike]

Phaidor was there showing and bringing up some of the latest in terms of fashion and clothing that they would be able to check out. New Cov was on the dockets after Shoma had visited and they would be a valuable trade ally... she had to make a meeting... and shop there a few days early to get a sense for the people. What they sold and presented to the public was usually a good indication of the people after all and the people were an extension of those in power and a good scale for how they lived. IF shoma would trust her in her things... she would totally explain the method and tricks of her observations and madness.

She set the course to make sure they got back first and would be able to properly visit.. no rushing there cause she missed seeing her favorite... Xifang. No one handmaiden was more important as Nari was there bringing her a datapad. "Messages from the emperor and empress.... It seems production has managed to increase with improved systems from Miyoung. Her figures made it so food production and waste management would be able to reach new peaks." That both did and did not surprise her... Miyoung had been crunching data and numbers for days on figures to try and get a little more... but if she had managed greater heights and it was being safe..... all the better.

 

[Junko Ike]

"That is a good thing, Miyoung you should be praaised for your skill." She said it and the young handmaiden was there beaming a little at the praise. A smile on her face when she was going about her duties on the bridge. THe flight crew at their stations but the handmaidens were each assigned to learn and operate for various reasons. AIding them if needed to ensurre the ship was always with back ups. The biot crew moving around and giving them more information as well as showing some of the latest fabricated equipment and upgrades Sasori was always innovating and with them the Commonwealth improved... so fabricators for the latest design specs were important.

It helped of course that once they introduced the materia to the designs it could be programmed to upgrade and alter itself... that was a benefit and would mean that improving upon, updrading and changing designs would be substantially easier compared to others. It presented the Commonwealth and Sasori with one of the biggest advantages in the galaxy next to their competition which wasn't really that big. THey easily outpaced most other companies in in sheer volume of products and ranges for them altered enough that they would be able to fill every niche of the galaxy. More then that they had some of the most exotic equipment.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe was looking at it and the shielding units that they had designed were beastly to say the least... impressive in their area of study... dangerous is misused and above all that she could see... something that no one else in the galaxy would have developed cause no one could out crazy a Sasori engineer. You had to be willing to look into the face of the galaxy and say not only could you make it better, you could make it faster and adaptable. There was also a need not to sleep or forgo eating at times.. it really was a calling for some of the engineers in the galaxy and Matsu hadn't just found one or three she had found hundreds who liked their job doing it.

There was even more information as Sasori and the Silver jedi were developing fleets and the mandalorian clans of Dxun and Atrisia were getting access to some of the more advanced models of vessels... heavy ships for a heavy fleet meant to smash through most defenses. The upgrades to some weapons and more advanced equipment was also a plus.. she could see the stealth hull plating was holding up as they developed a stealth turbolaser able to not only be fired from cloaked with the plating but it would also be able to fire invisible to most eyes and sensors turbolaser volleys... a tactical advantage and they had managed a strong distance with it as well.

 

[Junko Ike]

There were more reports, specificially regarding the jedi... MAtsu still held the silver jedi together for what it was worth... they might never return to the height that they had been in the galaxy... they had lost many of the big name draws that people flocked to after all... most retiring which they were jedi but whatever. She saw it mostly as a way to clear the deck maybe... it was already working out in ways few others could as they rebuilt more jedi temples and organized many of the aspects to improve the jedi. Temples and archives... councils, scattered masters and even more were being built up by the various circles within the Silver jedi and they were just getting started.

Junko knew there was a lot more planned... compared to many of the other governments... Matsu wasn't about to rest but she also wasn't actively recruiting... the silver jedi couldn't bolster the numbers of the GA... most who might aid and work with them well stayed in both orders and went where they could benefit themselves. Then would still be free to do whatever they wanted... dedication to a singular ideal harder to take on... she did both as well the Commonwealth and silver jedi. She did it the same but she was actively working with the silver order and benefitting their council of economics as the Commonwealth aided in trade and distribution of supplies throughout the galaxy.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko poured over more of the reports... the mandalorians were making moves... some going to Kashyyyk now that it was largely unprotected. The Wookiees were allies and the hope had been when the silver jedi left. THey worked with them to do it and there was the secondary temple there.... but it seemed old grudges as reports of trandoshan and mandalorian forces were mixed. The sith were making moves on two sides of the galaxy and the GA was beginning to take silver jedi worlds for their own now. Likely displacing what had been there and overtaking the governments that the concord had given their sovereignty back to.

"Trouble?" Barca said it and Junko looked at her. "THe usual, more clans acting up and attacking the galaxy. The Rimworlds are holding a gathering, the Alliance is well being the Alliance and the sith are back to expanding. So really nothing has changed just a lot more of the galaxy is opened." She said it aand there was a chance after all of things changing for the better but this century looked to be starting out about the same as the last one." She was a little disappointed and Barca looked at her. "Hmmm, well I could say they will learn... but most of my people are stubborn and when they have a leader with a thick enough head.... nothing changes. So instead want to watch bikini competitions on the holonet?"

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko debated mentally how to answer that.... Barca was a lot of things but.... "Yes." But she was also usually right.... there was not a lot that could be changed with the other clans of the mandalorians. THe Jedi or anyone else in the galaxy would find a way to survive as well just like the jedi or the sith the mandalorians would survive... in their own way. THey might only have an arm and their armor but they would still try and overtake the galaxy. It was a determination of the spirit that was commendable if not damned and frustrating. That the clans varied as much as jedi or even some sith didn't help since some worked with jedi, some hated jedi and some hated force users.

"Good, then lets get it set up." She said it and went towards her seat while the other handmaidens were around them going about their duties and in hyperspace she switched the one larger monitor on the viewing port to it. Spira was beautiful, resorts... blue waters and most importantly... islands where they could have 'reality' shows like this one... where bikini clad survivors were stranded for thirty days and had to fend for themselves while voting each other off the island and holding competitions like contests to see how they looked and maintained their figures. The ones who couldn't keep up or tried for health at any size... they were eliminated first.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe backdrop of Spira was there... the dusky twilight able to last for hours as the waters almost glowed... it painted the competition in its own light as they had torches but nothing major as a source of light. The contestants roaming around as they searched for items on the islands that had been buried. A few others were trying to make secret pacts and alliances that sometimes worked.. sometimes lasted all season and sometimes they lasted a hour... half the fun and excitement was never knowing which but then there was others who were off in the jungle island... enjoying their time. ROmance was also an important aspect to the show.

"THis is uncut right?" She asked and Phaidor who had joined them was looking while some small treats that they could all eat. Junko was joining as the seating shifted and there was a large lounge that all of them could curl up on as the ship adjusted their hyperspace speed. They were not in a rush after all and could spend a few hours binge watching. The AI built into the ship releasing biots that would man the various stations and maintain as its choushin biot came out and joined them. Xifang sitting there in front of them all like a big lazy cat with its saucer of creaam and milk... curling its tail around Junko's leg to make sure she remembered he was there.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey continued to watch the show... it was getting exciting as it was prone to do by the cuts that they made... interests of the people and they worked to make sure that there was a season villain always.. someone you were supposed to root against in terms of the face characters who were nice and trying to do this for 'good' reasons. It was all very dramatic... all very cinema which lent to much of the approval all of them did. It built up as they were laughing at some of the scenarios when the villains groups fumbled and were beaten... getting covered in jellied fruit for one of the contests so they would have to go and clean themselves up while the winners got supplies.

Baarca snorted as some of them were in the physical challenge among the losers of the competition... they would use it to try and determine who got eliminated.... and majority of them couldn't keep up. It did look like they were messing up badly and her handmaidens would be better suited to it... specifically Kirano and Barca who were the powerhouses with Uzeki and Min... the pale skinned twi'lek might not look it but she was beastly strong... Barca humoring it was the universes way of compensating for her abysmally small chest size when compared to the other handmaidens... a joke yes and in good humor but Min was strong physically from her efforts.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey continued to watch and it was getting interesting.. with an alert coming in on the bottom of the screen as it presented them the chance to groan a little... Aatrisia was coming up and they paused the showing. THey went back to their stations and were somewhat talking about it when they came out of the hyperspace tunnel but looked in awe. The massive dyson station network that enclosed the system. CHeaper to make a planetary grade shielding system then actual dyson sphere... it was also able to be monitored by biots and droids who maintained it. The system itself linking to dozens of others via more secured hyperspace routes then Frisal.

THey were cleared to enterr and the escort fleet moving around. The latest generations of the choushin vessels. Newer model fighters out and patrolling. Her vessel looking regal while she was being scanned but welcomed back. All security measures that were put in place abidded by even by her. The shield going back up in that section when they passed ships but also defensive stations. THey couldn't saturate around but the best routes in... easily done. Mines in other locations and patrols that could be mixed and rotated. It made for a stronger layer of security that they were working on while she could see the solar flowers thaat added heavier guns to the equation.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey continued to push through the system.. the outer planets showing the diversity of the Commonwealth as the moons were being worked on. The planets in cases gas giants.. so the largest became cities and the others were becoming mixture of population and resource moons. The Chiss defense force coordinating with their remnants to bring others here who needed a home. Zeltrons, twi'leks, mirialians, Liran... the Commonwealth could provide all of them with a place but they were assimilated into the concord it wasn't just being there.. they were Atrisian now. As such their defensive fleet was bolstering the Atrisian defensive fleets.

Then there were the asteroid stations.. thicker in the middle of the system yes and providing more but scattered were rogue asteroids... large and filled with scanners, defensive vessels and weapons that could monitor and defend the system. Dyson stations further in and the anshins around the planets. THe smaller world shielding around the systems interior and the world shielding around the planets in a duel layer benefitted them greatly as they worked on continuing to expand their defensive measures here... from then it would pour out and secure the Commonwealth making a pathway to their colonies which would wrap around and buffer without long supply lines.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey weren't needing to stop over anywhere... the worlds gleamed like jewels as the anshins were functioning. Ships went in long convoys and were able to make micro jumps between planets in the system itself. Stations monitoring everything that was coming in and out and all of the areas in between. Their experimental stations like the bangmangi bringing back to them information about various pocket dimensions, interacting with exotic particles and matter that is brought through. THey were in essence creating their own resources that might not be able to be found elsewhere which aided in some of the more powerful creations... and metal or stone... those came in essential.

"It looks like they have really been speeding up production." Thuria spoke and pointed towards it. As they passed several of the moons that were being occupied by the twi'leks gleamed with construction and vessels in orbit assembling some of the larger structures. "THey are... likely got the manufacturing foundries online first and droids set up... now they just have to begin placing it all and they should be able to overbuild in some cases." The overdeveloping was something they had encountered on Atrisia and they were able to send the excess materials to the moons and even artificial environments on the station. It allowed to really develop more quickly.

 

[Junko Ike]

Miyoung was looking and stood next to Junko. "Speeding up is a good sign... they aren't cutting corners the droids would not allow it but being able to better use the materials." She said it and was double checking some numbers but had all of it pulled up so that they would be able to see. A smile on her face while she and the other stood in their robes with the passage through the asteroids. "It looks like the security network is also improving now... they are getting quicker on the scans and processing power of the droid brains combined has made everything faster." The fleet that was there in the central area to monitor the interior and exterior planet crossing... helped make sure everyone acted with the best manners possible.

Junko was nodding and she could see it now mostly the people wanting to go fast but the droids would regulate it.. they weren't on a timetable just get it done and done right in a way that makes it strong and able to last. Atrisia had the means to handle the cost and everything was getting a massive overhaul if it wasn't being built new to have the standards. Newer systems that would greatly benefit them in the long run as well as the means to expand and upgrade faster in the future. If they could set it up to last longer then that well it would be useful since the materia self sustained and repaired.
