Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at more as well... the latest model fighters and biots were on display. "These though princess, your family aat Sasori is scary sometimes.. they have managed to copy the fastbreeder droids capabilities... these new model combat biots will self replicate... one can become a squadron and given enough time a battalion or even larger combat unit. That they applied the upgrades to the defense platforms in an update is... somehow even more scary but those heavy speeder redesigns... that things will give combat units a healthy dose of armor in most cases. The faster recon speeders and ground vehicles wil help but having a more mobile tank is helpful."

Junko was looking at it and seeing some of the new info... it helped so much the better improvements. THe updates for the platforms and several of their vehicles were... impressive to say the least. Weapons and shielding were one thing.. that they managed to put in some of the shielding that was standard for them now hypergate shielding was... scary impressive... that the vehicles were able to have them was impressive... the self replication was a feat few others in the galaxy could do and this would allow the vehicles to repair themselves... if they could apply this tech and the conversion bubbles which replenish supplies on a larger scale it would be impressive.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko gave a nod of her head when she was thinking it over.. there was always more from her family.. the family was massive and well they worked to expand Sasori's interests.. each branch, each house, each member contributed in some way and it vastly improved their abilities to be across the galaxy. Junko spoke. "It is something that we have been working on and wanting to test.. we have even more coming and I know the engineers have been designing and redesigning parts of it." She said it and laughed ot herself as some of the designs came up. THe jedi fighters were beasts for what they were doing here... they would be able ot use them as they were originally Atrisian design.

THe engineers were nodding as he seemed to be showing a few other things. "We have also been looking voer these medical improvements and well we can use them for the Atrisian people... longer lifespans, medically fit and healthy compared to other species, stronger, faster, better reaction speeds and expanded minds able to translate and be super computers. With new biogel implants like this... it is scary how much more advanced the Atrisian people would be able to become next to the rest of the galaxy who seem to be slowly trying to catch up." He shrugged though with a wider grin forming as the clothing alone had the advantage of the newer shielding models.

 

[Junko Ike]

"THe galaxy is always playing catch up and we sill are as well. the greatest civilizations in the galaxy had wonders still thousands of years more advanced then us even though they were billions of years old." SHe said it and some of the structures that were left and able to be found.. were still stronger then anything.. it lasted longer. Even things from the ancient Atrisians went a long way and when they found that ship it had been something enlightening to them.. an incident though made some Atrisians disagree but not in the ways some did... THey didn't doubt that Atrisians were advanced enough to have progressed so far... they questioned what really could have at the time beaten them back.

Which Junko found enjoyable.. they didn't doubt the past they questioned who might be better... which showed a sense of Atrisian pride and arrogance in some cases that has always been there. She knew the Chi-Oni were the closest and longest lived of the Atrisians... and more direct descendants of the ancient Atrisians... it helped but also the stories that they had of what had happened before and a number of the worlds that they have been able to find ancient colonies on that were stripped of things.. some resources and some the atmosphere itself.. the hidden temple with the kyber mirror was a good place and they had managed to find a small area of the world the cloud deer had lived.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We have been able to uncover much more as well princess. I know some of the researchers have been working on the stations and improving the worlds within the system but further out in the colonies.. all of it has pushed forwards for us and advanced the more and more ancient technologies that are recovered. We can use them to improve our understanding of the gree and rakata tech or the kwa and destructors... all of it is building our xeno engineering division of study and application." He said it and Miyoung had had the idea of it. A division that studied technologies for terra-engineering, dimensional engineering and how to apply it to everything for Atrisia.

"That is something we have been looking at. Development and reverse engineering aside we want to strengthen Atrisia first.. and we have done that. The silk road was the first step... making our trade lines protected and monitored. The dyson stations able to protect systems and we have more then enough means to produce and keep producing from shipyards. Automation in some cases but it goes further in some cases. IF we can keep improving upon it we will be able to push for greater and greater improvements. already I know they are working on hypergates to further improve travel between the planets and the systems."

 

[Junko Ike]

"THe hypergate network we want to build will still need a lot of improvements, implementation and testing.. if we can get it to work on a larger scale as we have on the smaller scale planet wise... we will be able to secure transport to further colonies.. establish trade routes no one else in the galaxy can think about or would attempt because of the distance." Junko said it and the prospect of it all was far reaching and important to them.. if they could manage it there was going to be a lot more as it would also mean the Commonwealth expands beyond the galaxy to the companions and they would be able to bring many more worlds under the Influence of the Commonwealth.

"We have managed to follow the Lady Miyoungs designs... the first testing for the askora transports on the planet are proving a success along with the smart roads.. travel time across the planet is rarely a problem. Even the train and tram system for transport and movement around the cities." JUnko nodded with that.. they were developing it and over developing it.. the roads were in the ground and tunnels with the new smart navigational system so it was automated and they let the surface of the world grow with the planetary seeds... which worked out well enough for them.. they could keep nature and everything looking beauitful compared to many of the other worlds.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko saw some more of it while things were coming across the screen... the toolkit was getting a large scale improvement... beautiful in its newer components that gave it some more power... which was never a bad thing. THe other improvements were to some of their older technologies but it was a vast improvement.. the materia's ability to upgrade itself as the improvements came out and were finalized were impressive enough. That they were developing technologies like the conversion bubble was a vast improvement by leaps and bounds same as the duplicator allowing biots to self replicate themselves... it meant they didn't have to do much and if they could go to some of the junk and trash worlds.

"We need to find some of those garbage worlds... or better start improving one of the worlds to function like that here in the Commonwealth... if we use it correctly charge thousands of worlds for the disposal... and w can then break down the matter to be used for whatever we need on a large scale." Junko said it and looking at the engineer who had Miyoung coming forward... she got a grin from the younger woman. "That could certainly be done.. there are a number of worlds that we are working to terraform and if we use it correctly... we could set up converters and duplicators on the worlds themselves then as the junk is brought break it down into whatever we need."

 

[Junko Ike]

Miyoung was looking at her and nodding. "A junk world would be beneficial and if we did use it we could modify it as needed but those worlds are usually not in the core worlds.. it is not grand and beautiful.. better some outer rim world no one knows about and that can be ignored." SHe said it and it was the mindset of many.. a world like Coruscant or Corellia would use the services and have Raxus or some fo the planets in the outer rim no one went to... far away out of sight and out of mind.... but for the Commonwealth it would be something massive and harder. "It wouldn't be easy and most worlds who are within our influence are already adopting the conversion technologies."

Junko mentally was thinking about ti and well most of the worlds the Commonwealth traded with and had influence over used their molecular conversion and furnaace technologies.. it broke down waste and trash for use in everything... had been being used on landfills and anything that impeded progress towards improving the world... so they were having collectively less and less of it... eventually with time they would have none or so little it would not be an issue... she was all for this and they would have to be able to use it to their advantage. "We have been getting ebtter at using the technologies... and most worlds are improving it is true... soon we might be setting the gold standard not that it will be noticed."

 

[Junko Ike]

"SOmething we should want... recognition can be fine but it is not always needed... it is not something one should crave otherwise it is vanity." Miyoung said it and looked at Junko as she offered a bow of her head. "You are not wrong... but vanity has its place even among the jedi. We just happen to use it wrong... and most only see the bad aspects of it... they don't see how it can strengthen against the darkside... that includes the sith." SHe said it and smiled to Miyoung... they were bringing up more screens of the island and their plans.. where the palaces for her handmaidens were. "I am going to be relying on you to improve these... spatiala nd dimensional engineering are not my area yet."

Miyoung was looking at her and the holograms of the island.. the smaller shield islands. "Oh I will be on it princess, I know some of these are going to be complicated... and some are going to be Barca's harem.... with lots of guns... like she is going to want both types." She said it and the indication of it was bringing a laugh to the pair. "BUt a few are going to be a treat to make, Lady Blen and Latyuo's palaces for instance are dedicated there and I know you wanted Xifang to get his own special one for several of the Atrisian tigers that were on the island." JUnko smiled with that.. Xifang was considered high value... and such when it came to breeding tigers well he was a big name.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Xifang will be happy, he has been lonely here on the island.. well mostly he gets to spend all of his time with me and most of the people at the palace or exploring the jungle." She was looking over more that Miyoung had laid out.. the shield islands would need to be explored and designated for each of them.. that could take a good while and if they developed them properly they would have some of the finest palaces here and beyond. There was Shri-Tal where they would be needing to work on more things as well. She needed to be able to work with the twins as their palace was being rebuilt as well with their family. THe planet and system enduring.

"Set a schedule, we have a lot to work on and see to with the islands.. we can see that the designers will be working on it as well as the engineers. I want to be abel to have both bridges, tunnels and teleportals connecting the islands so we can build the network and improve the design.. while still making t so that each island could be protected and defended in different ways.. or in the case they are overtaken we can access and sneak up on others who would be there." Junko said it and Phaidor was there with her and Miyoung as she was walking around the observation level and the millions of screens showed the island.. she could see some of the animals roaming around.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko stood there and went more towards the center of the room. Letting the hardlight encase her where she could see the island itself for herself... and only the island. She was breathing in and meditating. Her body floating up as the world around her contracted for a moment... then expanded out. Her handmaidens were leading the researchers and engineers away to plan. It was a moment at least where she would be able to relax her mind and body. She allowed the force to continue to expand from her mind and go further and further out.. to explore the island and all of the people there as she could see and feel them for the moment.

Her mind spreading out when she felt more of the people who were working. The soldiers were one thing.. the biots despite what some might think did have a presence in the force compared to many others... it allowed the jedi to be able to feel them and with some of the others they encountered.. they could use the force itself. The New Generation Biots were a display of that as well as the biots that werer being built by the jedi for the ships.. giving each one a unique presence in the force and the ability for them to be connected to the choushin roots... a network within the force that connected ships, temples and planets.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko remained there for a time.. allowing herself to breathe in and out.. her mind to expand and contract.. the force was guiding her and she was one with it for the moment at least.. she would be able to stay here for a time and a chamber like this was needed in the palace... likely from this point or one of the higher ones so that she could be in the clouds as it were and looking down at all that she oversaw... a great way to establish herself with the island and if they did it correctly could set her up for the clouds above.. if they could be manipulated for her face to appear it could be hilarious at least to her to be able to make it look like she was starring down at people.

The thought amused her and as her meditation ended Junko stood there... her arms going up to stretch and she rolled her shoulders. Her neck popping from standing there and her bones moving when she finally ended the hardlight display. Allowing herself to be seen by the others who were around. JUnko yawned a little as she didn't get to sleep when she meditated.. she just calmed her mind and listened... totally different then sleeping and she offered a small smile. "ALright, I am ready to start our grand tour of the shield islands." She said it with a nod of her head and was prepared for a lot of it.. they needed to meet with the engineers and workers after all.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko rolloed her shoulders when they were exiting.. the roof access revealed several shuttles that could be used and it would transport them to the islands or her palace.. The ring of the labs with its large anti aircraft turrets and lower anti vehicle and infantry turrets was larger then many would be able to see... a good optical illusion to make it seem much much smaller as well as some dimensional engineering to allow what was in the interior of the ring to be larger. It allowed them to store dozens of fighter squadrons. There waas more here as well the labs for growing their biot soldiers were important to reinforcements which would serve to protect them.

Junko was going outside with a smile on her face though she could see the shuttles and the transports were armored and armed.. soldiers there as they mounted the side guns for protection. Her handmaidens going in as she stepped up and bowed to the ones who were waaiting for them. "Welcome princess." The one said it with a smile on his face as Junko returned the nod. "THank you, I am looking forward to this." There were nods and she was led to a seat that would let her be protected but would also allow her to be able to see the island as they were flying over it. THe ships engines activating quietly for the moment as she sat down.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko sat there as the airship was heading over towards the islands. Passing over the palace and village while being able to see the larger celeste class vessels. Fighters were going from the air into the water as they tested out their hudrostatic shielding and aquatic capabilities, their walker style would let them continue to be some of the best in terms of versitility and the internal AI programs allowed them to operate without a pilot being required. The first of the islands was going to be for Barca... it was the fortress that was being built at the mouth of the villages port... so it needed to be able to defend it and have a wealth of soldiers or combat deployment.

"THe island itself is beautiful." Barca was right there with her as Junko spoke and she had some design ideas... mostly in terms of troop deployment that would be able to go into it. THey wanted to have a defenive island afterall and Barca was arguably one of the best in terms of combat experience. A mandalorian who was loyal to the Commonwealth by several things... she had gotten her clan to move here and they were accepted as the base would also function like a culvert... the clan would serve to protect their home and their home would give them the work and things needed to function. "And it will serve well, my clan is there working on things."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see it as they arrived on the edge of the fortress itself. It had twin areas that were set up being able to connect shielding towers and was like a v shaped design. Using the island itself with peaks and there were tunnels below the water that connected it into a tram system. So they would be able to get there and back without being seen... not that it mattered since the war droids they had were given pressor catapults that would be able to launch them at the island to go after attackers shoudl it be needed. Junko could see much of it as she was walking out of the ship with barca and Phaidor near her. THe pair were looking around with the clan visible.

THey were large like Barca compared to many of the Atrisians... armored and with their weapons. They were working with the loader droids who were working on parts of it. THeir wardroids were set up in a square in the center, turrets lining the walls while they calibrated them and the thicker walls were being reinforced with materia and sturdy metal rods that would fit with the shield gates and blast doors. They were making towers of their own with pylon towers that would work as shielding towers. It would reinforce the position of the fortress and allow the open area of it to be protected from orbital strikes and attack... those getting in would face the turrets and war droids.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at more of it.. the war droids were impressive. Like Loa's on the island near the crystal palace.. they were built like self contained warships more then regular droids. With a pilots seat that had physical and shield projectors for protection. Dozens of weapons and while the arms of it were more for stability compared to attack the collection of shockwave generators in the nose of it. THe mandalorian culvert here might not be connected to Lao's mandalorians but they would likely be there to work with them and they were open thanks to Barca working with the Atrisians in other ways. THey got their weapons and equipment upgraded to improve the design for power and fuel in most cases.

Barca had told her about a few of them and most were in their armor all of the time.. their helmets they didn't take off except in their personal rooms and chambers. It was a small thing but she didn't see a problem.. if anything since they were overseeing the heavier defenses here which protected the bay of the village... well they could do as they needed to. The anti ship and fighter defenses were being set up to coordinate and make a large triangle of destruction and coverage. She could see they were setting up an external armory that was connected to one of the internal storage rooms, from the designs that Barca had shown there were several that could be accessed for arming several armies.

 

[Junko Ike]

Barca came over near her and they were working on a few more things. She brought up a hologram on her wrist and Junko could see it. "THey have worked on the halls and tunnels of the fortress. We have been setting up the defenses that will be able to pop out along with turrets. The culvert has established rooms for each squadron to use, armories and additional support rooms. Vehicles as well as forges or even storage rooms for food and supplies." Junko listened as there was a plan here.. the fabricators could make what they needed and the internal power source of the fortress had a lifespan that would last far longer then other places in the galaxy.

Barca was showing them other parts of it... the central chambers of the fortress were for audiences. The farmers and workers on the island being under their protection here after all so they would need to be able to work with and meet Barca who had her own chair to sit in judgement of them. The Culverrts forgemaster and leader there to act as an advisor as well as unofficial second in command of the fotress when it was needed. Tactically the throne room itself was the most secured with thicker walls and doors leading into it and a very military design with the mandalorians having the high ground with cover while the main audience would be in a more open area.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at the audience chamber and it was standard... Atrisia was big on this being similar enough that the holoprojectors in the gallery around it would be able to function so everyone could see everyone... but there were chances for changes. Mostly with the banners and weapons on the walls.. The style of the elevation and there was even mandalorians who served as guards there around them. Junko could see more as well.. the windows were viewports showing tactical displays around the fortress exterior and sensors for the island itself. THey had it on lockdown as well as the surrounding waters forming a display to track anything that came near.

Barca went towards the seat that had been constructed and she was check ing it.. compared to Junkos which was made for functionality and comfort with pillows and ornate displays... this one was stone.. thick and polished black but Barca slid a piece to the side as it was seamless to the ones observing. She pulled out weapons and was checking it... "ALways ready for a war." Junko said it with a smile though as Barca nodded to her with that.. the throne was designed to oversee and help those on the island.. but it would also be if needed an armory as she pulled out a personal shield generator and supply pack in the worse case scenario.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko nodded to that... she was checking it as well as the sightlines. "It is good, you should be able to do plenty and with the newest shielding improvements well this could become a highly secured room within the fortress." She said it and Barca gave a nod. "I saw that and it is crazy how they managed to get the planetary shielding so compacted but if it can work... it can work and those hypergate shielding capabilities were a nice touch for what we were seeing from some of the engineers. I could see installing them on the war droids and having them there to smash through most enemy forces.... or better just laying in wait for an attack to come."

Barca was grinning thhough and JUnko sather on the seat... standing there as she looked it all over. "It doesn't look very comfortable but then you are in armor I imagine sitting on it and it is for display over comfort." SHe said it with a grin on her face though as there was a lot that could go into it. "We should be able to see even more though... if we improve the outer walls of the fortress and make it so that it can easily handle orbital strikes... just to annoy and have shielding projectors that are protected from damage... we could make this one of the backbones and layer to protecting the island... or even more so since the tunnels allow quick movement."

 

[Junko Ike]

Barca was looking at them. "THe tunnels are tactically one of the chokepoints we want to avoid. The use of the gentoku high speed trams will be important and rapid speed vehicles for moving soldiers or supplies. We can set up and secure the entry points and have it designed for rapid deployment across the islands... Enough mandaloriaan soldiers to secure all of it and then some while reinforcing the palace guards that you have in place." She was tapping and showing the various parts of it while prepared were also showing what they could get... droid wise there were many more options and defense wise they could fortify.

"Each island for the different handmaidens we can add something from.. all of them provide different aspects and incorporating them into the defense can go a longer way. With Miyoung dimensional engineering and terraforming knowledge we could develop sections of each palace to be a fallout shelter with teleportals for movement and bays for food. Livestock and grains as well as other foods that would be needed. It would make the islands a fortress among themselves and within themselves as we could continue to secure and make these multilayer works for everything you have been wanting to build up and protect."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko nodded to that.. the approach of layering wasn't new but Atrisia was working to make it one of the best.. they were looking to have each layer be a fortress to itself.. to have enough armor and defensive turrets that it will destroy whatever is brought near them. She knew some of the value in the things that they were doing... with Barca it meant war droids, guns and armored soldiers who could eploy around the islands as effortlessly as they would be able to go around the planet and aid in intense combat situations... they were not normal soldiers.. they were shock troops who would be sent in if the conflict got really bad and be offered a lot of credits to do so.

"The defenses from here are shaping up... as is the design of the inner chambers. I know your clan doesn't elevate one above the others aside from your alor but being able to see the benefits. Maybe they will be willing to sign on as defensive instructors or fighters to the other lords and ladies. A contingent of a mandalorian clan has shown a great benefit in Quen'la." Barca grinned to that as she sat down and there were some of the children from the clan. THey were learning but they were also here to observe and see all of the areas... mostly with the handmaidens who provided and were provided aid and service in their new homes.
