Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at it.. the three sisters certainly had not went in a bad way. Tripitaka likely pushing for the defense while Jubei wanted the shee style of it... Jiyoung was not as firm or as serious... but she was no pushover in most cases. IF anything she was the one who had been willing to give it all up and trek alone... even accepting that Junko might not accept her... and their mother had been a piece of work she had managed to survive against... so Junko didn't doubt in the event of a fight the three of them would be able to really fight. Jubeis other influences could be seen throughout though as the interior in the courtyard was much different below the top sections.

The area below the courtyard for the soldiers was lighting and opulance as a palace. Stark white pearl and marble... silks and statues. Areas for them all to lounge around with raised areas and cushions that would allow one to fall asleep. Jubei looked like she was excited to be back as her influences with thousands of fruit trees was there... dozens of branches with them growing on smaller limbs. The scent of ripened fruits and berries that could be picked and were cleaned daily for just that purpose. THe driods were also making it so the misters didn't ruin the fabric as Jiyoung was coming around and wrapping an arm around Tripitaka's arm. "Sister we are back."

 

[Junko Ike]

Tripitaka seemed to take it in stride and it was only Jubei who rolled er eyes at her youngest sisters... infatuations with their half sister. Growing up with her being the secret guardian had done a few things to all of them and Junko didn't judge what had happened. She remained there as they were walking and the more lavish of the courtyard was set up in a way all of the handmaidens could lounge around. With silk curtains giving it a beauty and more exotic nature. A grin playing across her face when they all sat down to relax with serving girls and droids coming out. SHowing a care for delicate foods and pastries that were much sweeter.

Junko could see the level of comfort as well as the area was warm and comfortable. Piping in the floors and walls as well as the ceiling which were lined with glow lights to mimic the sun. THey also projected heat and warmth from hotsprings that were beneficial so that there was a flow to the fortress itself and those within it could hold out for years in the event of a seige... from recreational areas for exercise to areas to sleep in sensory deprivation and comfort that would ensure they were fully rested to some of the hardest to penetrate walls. There was even the transport and means to get down into the mechanical interior and sections of the artificial islands for the power and additional supplies.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was continuing as she could see it.. the silk and cushions being traded when she walked with Jubei through one of the doors cause Tripitaka and Jiyoung were staying in there for a moment with some of their handmaidens. "It is beautiful and the contrast is something that hasn't been done yet... the heavily presence of military forces above will go a long way for what we want but I know you don't always approve." She said it and the woman walked with her hands clasped behind her back. "I do not but there is little that can be done... what has happened with our father drove many things but mine and Jiyoungs mother well she forced even more."

Junko gave a nod of her head and the Stormcloud general was renowned for her skill in a fight, her protection of the northern territories and well their mother was known by many for how petty she could be. Her jealous reputation and antics as the lady in the north was... aalso a detriment and why she was mostly not in the Atrisian court... she just wasn't welcomed by the people because she tried to downplay or overblow her own importance. Junko was looking at more of the area and going back inside it was the main living quarters for herself and her sisters... there were rooms and chanbers built like mini fortresses that soldiers would be able to bunk in but they had full armories.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko could see more of it... the armories that were on display were two fold there was Atrisian weapon racks.... lined with blades and blasters. Armor for display and other equipment and then there were fabricators which allowed them to create additional weapons. The platforms that had been developed improving the combat capabilities of the weapons that Atrisian forces had access to... from Sasori they were able to have plenty that would function for them but they also had a number of newer technologies like the janni and their power plants... the sub-atmoic reactors were the smallest in the galaxy and able to produce more power then most star ships.

"We have been stockpiling in the armories as well, the newer weapons and platform systems that have been designed have come in handy and allowed us to better develop some of the more dangerous positions. We have defenses designed to repel ourselves if we were attacking as opposed to an enemy we do not know the technology of." A risk as it could mean if they encountered an unknown it would harm them but... it also meant that they had a good deal of equipment prepared to fight a tactically powerful force like their own. She doubted there were many armies with the equipment or the tactics to really match Atrisian military training.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at her and gave a nod of her head... the palaces purpose was clear but they all were interconnected with the lowest areas of the island. Thanks to the artificial nature it did make it easier and she could see the chambers leading down to the tubes and streets below. THe undercity of the island was massive with massive observation domes to see into the water itself and look up into the blue waters. It was just the massive areas in between that they had a chance to operate with before the jedi princess was going and Jubei had set up to show to her aside from their armories they were also developing and setting up the shielding batteries... the back up areas filled.

"We have been working on this, something we can put into all of the other palaces.. a planetary back up system that would be able to work should the worse happen but it would give us dozens of back up systems in the event of sabotage." THat was a good plan and each of the power cells were being rated and designed to be able to power a planet fully... with a second they could easily handle defenses and they used several for additional weapons... it served the Atrisians well enough and they would be able to do a few other things... the hypergates they wanted to develop would prove the hardest to power if they were not careful but it would let them move around.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Sabotage is the least of our worries... it still is important but with the redundancies and back ups that have been designed we will be able to keep systems going for tens of thousands of years long after we vanish... this worlds automation will be a utopia as it can preserve enough of every supply for hundreds of trillions of lives." Junko looked at her and wasn't exaggerating... they had developed the system to aid and function long after Atrisia was gone as long as the planet was here. THe ancient Atrisians had built wonders and lived for billions of years... now they were working to make sure that their wonders continued to be preserved and last another hundred billion.

A wish she had and she would never be able to see if it would be possible but there would be plenty who came after and if they secured the Commonwealths means of improvement... its quality of life in such a way they would aalways be like this... well then all that would be left would be improving the technologies to continue to improve itself. A new golden age of technological research and purpose. Miyoung was looking at the sisters and she was able to show a few other things as well. "It looks like the work going into this is perfect.. I can see a few things the dimensional engineers would be able to improve upon and refine."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at Miyoung and she debated one thing in her mind... how impressive and scary was the womans palace going to be... Miyoung was one of the lead scientists on Atrisia.. that she was a handmaiden meant little when she was able to do both and even more consulting with dozens of institutes across the Commonwealth for the advancement of their sciences and engineering. Junko could only imagine the sheer amount of precision that was going to be going into it as Jiyoung and Tripitaka were finding a place to sit with Jubei and the others joining them. THe throne room was similar as needed but they had three thrones one for each sister.

Junko could see the three thrones able to look out on the court.. for judgement but since they didn't have villagers, or civilians it was a little stranger. The various soldiers would be able to bring concerns and the three of them would be able to use it to handle their mother... if she came here... the woman was not happy about a lot of things. Chief among them how her two children had become handmaidens... she cared little about Tripitaka... the Stormcloud general did... the womans mother... they had a decent enough relationship and the general was glad to see the other two girls and welcome them when she came around.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko was looking at more, the latest in equipment was being fabricated and deployed. Tripitaka looking over the specs as she was impressed with it. "You had them develop a planet wide nanodroid." She said it and Miyoung was standing there as she looked with a nod of her head. "Yes, we took some research and reports from other worlds in the unknown region. THe planets had been given by their original inhabitants the fizz. Which defended and kept the worlds prestine." She said it and looked over the things with Junko while it was being discussed as well as and deployed. "We took that information and made a more refined version for Atrisia and the Commonwealth itself."

Junko had to admit seeing it... the nanotech materia if it worked aas functioning... would clean and preserve the world while also repairing and keeping sructures maintained... soil fresh and fields vibrant... they could have constant food and means to grow food, clean the water and air as well as restore many natural resources across the planet. Junko was looking at what they would be able to do with this and it was meant to preserve much of it for later generations... it was another piece of the Atrisian views to establish longer lasting things over the short term only comfort in their lifetime. "It is good Miyoung and with enough deployed across the commonwealth it will preserve much more."

 

[Junko Ike]

THe woman seemed proud about it as she gave a nod of her head. "THat is the hope and we have begun deploying them on the various worlds to maintain and heal them.. between these and our Terraforming world seeds we will be able to deploy them, form the worlds and arrive laterr. If we can develop the caretakers and an automated processing droid for it. We could upgrade to teraforming entire systems that have worlds but no people." She said it and her long terrm plans were even more ambitious from what Junko could see.. if they coudl apply these to some of the worlds here in the core and deep core... if they could expand them along the trade routes.

Junko was thinking about it and well trade routes were beneficial.. they had charted the silk roads for inter-commonwealth trade and expanding upon it. Making it harder for raiders to take valuable things. The jedi princess knew that if they improved more aspects of it.. from the silk roads to trade routes to worlds outside of the Commonweaalth and since compared to many others they had been improving their society.. they could sell and monotize the means that they were using. WOrlds could pay a lions share but they would follow the old addage of customers is important so rich and poor worlds alike would benefit and it would be in the contracts.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at it as Jiyoung was better at some things... finance was one of them... she knew how to make credits and improve the value of what they were selling or trading... without bleeding others dry so they resent. With superior products though she was often able to encourage extra spending and equipment. Junko could think of a few other things that would come in handy for them... JUbei had a few things she was working on like ship improvements as they were setting the golden standard for comfort and performance. THey were also establishing a way to better grow the choushin that became the interior of the vessels.

Jiyoung was also working on other financial projects for them. With Miyoungs division and background developing their dimensional and terraforming technologies... if they were able to properly work on some of it... if they could market it. THen Atrisian cities could be village like, could present as simple on the outside but have some of the most advanced systems below and within. THey already had the power plant designed to be able to power all of the designs. Junko knew they were over developing some of the modules which would be for the villages and cities... the paneling wood and stone were some of the finest materials they could fashion on the planet.

 

[Junko Ike]

Tripitaka was looking at other things.. as they brought up more information she displayed it and the plans for the fortress palace... the display becoming hardlight with each section before she went on and showed their location. "We have had them working on additional areas here and here... the hall of displays will be for educational purposes but will also be where we can filter requests and meetings for you out. It functions like a gallery but with tens of thousands of displays so that people can submit their requests in person as it were and in real time instead of in a message as that can't always show what someone intends or means."

SHe continued as Junko was looking at it and she had a few more ideas. "This area of the palace will be for the protection of the energy bridge that is being set up and for what we hope will eventually turn into a guardhouse. dozens of soldiers able to hold it off but also man the turrets as needed should it be required. A back up for the island as the pods set in the walls will allow them direct access to the thousands over this island and the main.. to sync up with others and form a network. SHielding and redundant protections are being done so it wouldn't be able to be directly attacked and damaged as it were as well as power generation and displays."

 

[Junko Ike]

"It is going to be important to most of our systems... the shielding and displays." Junko said it as she was showing up parts of it and she was showing where the back up systems were going. Since it fed into the island which fed across and down into the larger island and underwater, underground sections that operated. Millions of people living there and having their lives in a way that they chose while working farms, working in some of the labs. THey chose to not be on the surface but were never shunned... if anything they had the best chance as the more areas they builrt for the islands here.. the more could access and have surface homes. THey were prospering.

Jubei sat there and she looked at the display as well as the princess when she gave a nod. "THe underground sections are improving each day, the connecting tubes are set up for transport and they are able to be used. We have developed storehouses throughout the underground areas that will serve as facilities and back up for biots and droids. Holding them in stasis should it be required. We have begun enacting containment protocols which will allow each area to be sectioned off and used as a chokepoint." Jubei said it while she was bringing it up and overlaying her map to add to it. Utility tunnels and lines that improved its look were there.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe utility tunnels were being used and developed to branch off of the main smart tunnels. The ability for them to be used to transport and move larger vehicles and cargo were imp;ortant but they would also serve as a means of protection. THey would be able to reinforce the shielding of it so it could survive and with the right cloaking systems they could fit hundreds of thousands in the tunnels. If they used them correctly they might even be able to adjust the housing there. Fallout shelters and areas in case of attack that could be sealed off and opened later if another invasion came with offowlrders bypassing all of their defenses that were being built.

"OH did you show her the coolest part?" Jiyoung said it as she was sitting there and had somehow managed to get her throne closer to Tripitaka... the older sibling remaining stoic for the moment when she checked everything over. Jiyoung overlaying her map and what she did as it added utility tunnels, areas to the display that went off and around the compartments. Each one flowing and bringing a different thing as it worked to generate water, power and air but there was also food one labeled and.... "Are those tunnels for rice and grains?" Junko said it and Jiyoung nodded as she looked at her. "Yes, I asked if they could use the fabrication technologies and we created a rice chute that will also distribute."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko listened to it and she thought about it. THey grew the rice in fields and massive quantities but if they could tune the fabricators for it... a dozen or so constantly producing in a chute that allowed it to be made and pushed throughout... the possibilities of having a constant stream of it and food was there. They sold and traded it across the galaxies now that the silver strands and the silk road were able to be combined... a small intersection but it was done... it made it so Atrisia could access the silver jedi's hyperlanes to the other galaxies which spread their trade and influences to trillions of beings across all of it. THey would need to be working on a few other ideas.

Junko was thinking on it and if they could make Jiyoungs idea a bigger reality.. if they could turn it into a standard piece of equipment for rice or other foods then they could begin to work on it and augment it. THeir manufacturing was always improving after all and the need for food in ships and facilities that could be protected and controlled away from potential sabotage... it would be better. Same with the water and air supplies that they were working on. If they could do it properly she knew they would be able to make it so Atrisia itself would be able to last for tens of millions if not longer in terms of years. The Commonwealth would only be able to expand its influence.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko contionued to look at it and there was some reports coming in as Miyoung came near her. "Princess, we are getting reports or at least we are seeing information about a new group who have come to the world." Miyoung said it and Junko looked at her. "Who?" THe woman looked. "A group callingthemselves the lightsworn it seems they are using some old estate on the world as a headquarters." SHe said it and was more dismissive in most cases.... people came to Atrisia all of the time and wanted to do any number of things. "DIspatch the dreamguard and blackguard to watch and observe... see if they are a danger or just travelers coming and going eventually."

Miyoung gave a nod of her head and the others did as well Tripitaka taking the information and bringing it around so that the scans and information could be seen on the screen. "They aren't going to many of the cities and lightsworn want to fight the sith.... seems beneficial to let them for now." Junko gave a nod of her head... she would have to give a report to the emperor and empress with this information but there wasn't a pressing need... so far the lightsworn were a small group and if they hadn't come to Atrisia would never have gotten the notice of her or some others. Shoma would likely be aware and want a diplomatic solution but sometimes it was just better to let these things get out of the system.

 

[Junko Ike]

Miyoung was looking at it and adding flags to monitor, the defensive systems and stations of Atrisia allowed for near constant monitoring of the planet and system for this reason itself. THey could monitor and measure the planets water and air quality in case there was danger as well as seismic activity to better improve the planet. It let them deploy repair systems of the world itself or airships for safety. "It shall be done." SHe said it and Jiyoung was looking at it. "That region is largely remote, we won't have to worry about much and I doubt they will ever reach out to you or anyone... it is easier that way as we can continue to expand."

JUnko didn't really have reason to see it differently, they were expanding much of Atrisia's endeavors to cover the Commonwealth worlds... They were improving the technologies that would work for them. WIth Jiyoungs food fabrication ideas they could apply it to more then just rice... if they could make chutes like that for a number of worlds then they could establish feeding areas that would be for anyone while in their homes they could have anything that they wanted as well. With the citizens of the Commonwealth maintaining their training and service they would be able to keep a standing army at all times and they were doing what they could for children and expansion of the population.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko overlaid her own map of the area, the hidden pathways and tunnels that were built in standard for her own movement and means to get around. The four overlays designing the islands and palaces. Then the water areas which were filtered and monitored with fisheries and shielding to ensure it had its own turrets able to be fired, underwater drones that could be released and mines or droids. THey could keep it all safe as submersible sections were able to be launched for fighting as well as underwater fighters that would be able to go frrom the depths to the atmosphere and below the surface again. "We have more herre, it will help and with that the military assets, civilian and infrastructure."

Jiyoung nodded when she saw it and wrapped her arms around Tripitaka's, sitting there and looking at it while Jubei moved the map around rotating it and grinning to herself. "It is a beautiful design, the underground sections will be aas advanced if not more so and with everything else built into it the prrojections if we can upgrade the chong-rin rin islands designed... we could expand what is being made for the artificial islands. Deployable across the galaxy and bringing Atrisian craches which will allow us rapid expansion and technologies." She said it with a wider smile. "It is smarter since we could suspend in maturation chambers the children that would grow while terraforming towers are on the island.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe idea of the upgrades here that could be applied to the other islands... which by extension would be brought to their other islands... it would drastically do a lot more and if they did as many shield islands around each one... each with as manyu back ups and extra systems dispersed around as the main island... and if they could keep it compacted enough so it was large without being overly massive. THey could deploy them from an underside bilge system... maybe even have the terraforming towers built into it... that would allow them to deploy several onto some worlds and the islands could create the world and its oceans.

"That is good and we still have more to improve upon... the engineers are overdeveloping the islands for all of you... more so they are over engineering some of the areas that will compliment you. Tripitaka's soldiers, Jiyoungs food production and even Jubei's armories... I know you were proud going through many of the armories in the palace and on my ship... upgrading and seeing what was lacking. Atrisian equipment tries to fill in all of the gaps and the larger scale improvements of the toolkit has seen few things able to compete with us as it can be used as a weapon attachment with its wide selection of its own attachments."

 

[Junko Ike]

JUbei had a grin on her face that was getting wider. "Our weapon research and labs have been getting better at combining and compacting. If we are able to make the toolkit a standard piece of tech for the average Atrisian soldier... or even citizen trained to use it. The worlds population will be able to become a standard army should the worse happen. ALready the education reforms to have them serve automatically for five years has aided in much. The entire commonwealth is adopting it from what we have seen in the reports which will allow the fielding of tens of billions of soldiers at any given time if the need arose."

SHe was making a small point and the Commonwealth didn't disrupt many things on its member worlds but it did encounrage following the model they were doing. Citizenship from military service to bring prestige and honor to the people. THey were developing smarter and faster soldiers as well as people. JUbei's idea of their weapons becoming more and more advanced to the point the most basic of them would have something akin to special forces weapons and equipment... beneficial as it would mean they could use it as a metric to measure their own technologies... if the average citizen had this imagine how much more advanced the military and then special forces would be able to be.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We have been using the information and designs... after the weapons tests with the alliance. The notes about where other corporations within the Galactic Alliance are was enlightening... we won't have to do much in terms of greater appeal or work. We have the advantage in terms of tech, we have the advantage in terms of knowledge... most of those were barely making substantial power packs... in terms of ammunition we have some of the best in the galaxy the same with capability to fabricate and produce. Teraforming technologies alone on our world preserve vast swaths of it while theirs can barely feed their people."

Tripitaka gave a nod of her head. "Based on the reports, it is a strange concept... when we were faced with the same problems we rose and endured to handle the problems.. the other worlds seem to embrace them as a point system to talk about their own oppression and problems." She shrugged as she was sitting there with Jiyoung on her side resting her head. "Big sis is right... the real fun though is when they complain about their gender... as if that means something." She said it with a grin on her face though but remained there. Jiyoung was laughing to herself now... "Or when they act like anything they do is shocking... that is even funnier."
