Description: An ancient structure that has been built upon over the course of thousands of years since the Taung controlled the planet and there was an uprising. As the planet changed and different species came in or worked with them new layers were added to it in places expanding it. THe original history of it being a military outpost is gone with most of the defenses taken out save the thicker walls and new blastdoors. THe areas below it cultivated for farming and a small guard post between it and the main area of the lake country.
Throne Room: Large and spacious with silk curtains and a large platform of melted armor that has been taken from defeated foes and melted down into a large metal chair that is entirely uncomfortable. Behind it there is a large window looking out open the mountain ranges letting the see the other valley leading towards the imperial city. The cliff face behind the windows is sheer with banners and small balconies looking out across the green and river area below.
Palace Shrine: An old shrine that was designed originally built for the different gods that they had been working on more of the things. Te jedi coming to the world brought about some of the things that they were working with. Junko moving in to restore the busts and make it more like a small museum where she can keep one of the full length Kagami mirrors for herself to use and look through to see the planet she is on. The pathway through from the shrine goes up towards the bath house and area they will have much of the restored building.
Mountain Base: THe bottom of the mountain is where more of the farmers come from, providing farmland to grow food and people who serve the palace staff where they are needed. The small village has around two hundred people in it in the form of a couple of families that live there with several generations living together and getting paid by Junko and her family. They have a safe house in the mountain caves that they are able to access in the case of an attack.
Internal Bunker: The remnants of the once Taung Fortress on the mountain side. Thick walls and choke points to get into it allow the tunqstoid doors to be sealed from attack while the reinforced walls and hermetic seals are designed to protect the ones that go inside. With some work Junko has paid to get most of it restored with new equipment and reinforced sections at the doors. The tunnels that honey comb through the planet itself connecting in the lower levels to a main tunnel connecting for the bunker. Where their vehicles and equipment for exploring can be, the secondary level above it is sealed and contains the living quarters while the lowest level contained the power sources and equipment to run the facility.

Bed Chambers: A large bedchamber that Junko has for herself, protected by her guards and partially constructed into the sections of the top of the old fortress. The uppermost sections were mostly destroyed but they were able to use the flooring of it to give an extra level of protection to everything that they were making. The construction efforts giving the advanced modular buildings that Sasori developed with new walls of marble and cut hijarna stone that were a layer of protection.
Bath House: Large and simple looking but designed to allow over two dozen members of the palace to bathe at a single time. It isn't always the best but for Junko it helps build a sense of community and unity within all of them. Junko has a small private bath in her own bedchamber but the larger one allows her to meet with and talk with the other members of the staff in her place. The spa they have is made for many of them to stay around in and relax with servants bringing them drinks.
Garden: One of Junko's favorite places that she has for herself, leading off directly from her bedchamber and overlooking a small pond that was made for her near the top of the palace. The gardens have dozens of trees planted that are beautiful when in bloom and is neatly taken care of by droids and human servants. A small water recycling system allows the waters in the small pond they have filled with some small fish to provide Junko her own meditative retreat.
History:
Early History:
Constructed on Shri-Tal by the Taung, the initial fortress that was carved into the mountain and made to be a fortified location with a clear view of the entire area that allowed them to oversee the slaves below and grow food. Sections of the valley carved out to make flat terraces where they could grow different food and set up irrigation systems to allow all of it to function. Looking like steps carved into the mountains where food was grown and taken by the Taung as tribute.
As they established themselves as the dominant force on the planet battles broke out against the local species of the planet and the system that had been working to colonize all of it. The battles that came from it were usually small scale and more just happened along the way toward the capital. Until the Taung's sealed the main tunnels and forced a chokpoint through the valley pass on the surface where they could use the high ground to lay waste to Go Nagai forces.
The War:
The war against the Go nagai was quick and vicious, the Taung were more skilled at warfare while the Go Nagai were skilled at using slaves to fight in their battles. As the war betweent he two sides raged on the valley was filled with blood and bodies while the fortress held its ground. The taungs inside able to hold out with the limited supplies before they were able to drive away the Go nagai when the slaves started to revolt. The Atrisian and human slaves they had gotten across the galaxy were rebelling against them.
Those rebellion saw the destruction of the fortress with fire, as one squad broke through and set it ablaze driving the taungs and the Go Nagai from the planet eventually. The human had managed to after hundreds of years in service to the gods and warlords driven them away from the planet. They were free to work with the other species that were on the planet and in the system. They were able to take the fort and they could use it to establish a small hold in the area.
Later History:
With the fortress destroyed and the defenses leaving only the thick stone walls that have been used in the foundation of most of the palace. Scaling up the mountain they started constructing on top of it. As a monument to their skills and the power for what they had managed to do. A way for them to construct over all of it they could turn over with more of it. The Atrisian slaves giving it a distinctive flare as well as continuing to build until the main chamber of it was in the sky overlooking the valley's to the front and back of the mountain.
As the palace grew it became part of the new Emperors kingdom, all of them were working on things and developing new situations and new parts that would go into their future works. The emperor visiting it as a summer retreat where it would be cooler in the mountains then the area they were in that got hot. In the winter months he could return down the mountain to enjoy the season itself. There was not much there defense wise aside from location which provided the natural defense of the high ground.
Abandonment:
Happening sometime in the planets history it is uncertain when but the palace was abandoned. Some in the village and areas below thought it was because the Imperial city had gotten so much larger that the emperor was unable to go between places now. Some because of threats but slowly it sat there collecting dust. The one grand statues and doorways of it that looked beautiful for the emperor now quiet. The village and surrounding area starting to suffer because of it.
The village slowly disappeared leaving untended fields and buildings that were in need of a serious restoration, the caves were unprotected or monitored allowing creatures to roam around the valley. It was a more interesting time as the people mainly forgot about the valley and the palace until slowly mention of it coming from the beings who came to visit the world. Bringing jedi and some advances that they had not seen before.
Restoration:
The Order of the Silver Jedi came to Shri-Tal twice, once to help them with a problem they had encountered and a second time with the Netherworld event plaguing the galaxy. They had to deal with the danger that came from it as they faced off against ancient spirits and unknown dangers. Junko worked when the Go Nagai themselves were awakened and attacked the planet bringing her attention when she battled in the valley to the structure.
The fighting as the Silver jedi went through led them to the valley north of the temple they had constructed. Sitting there was the palace and they were able to use its corridors and sections to create chokepoints to funnel and lower the numbers of the beings they were fighting. The jedi were able to clear out some of the area afterwards and close gates on the underground tunnel entryways allowing them to contain the area. With some work and interest Junko began inquiring about the palace.
Current History:
Junko worked within the city to buy it and the village underneath, tracing back land deeds and titles while she went from the houses to houses searching. eventually finding the information so that she could buy the land that few others ever used for anything. Eventually she finally managed to buy it for herself from them Emperor with all fo the titles and all of the ideas they had to go into restoring and building up their own palace to rival her home on Atrisia.
Over time Junko even started to see people returning to the villages, fixing it up and the establishments got a number of people to return... as did the promise of higher wages with the credits then some fo the other farmers, equipment and brand new buildings fixed up by Sasori and Junko. She would work to hire soldiers and mercenaries who wanted to have credits for the different things and while not rivaling the Imperial city it would be a growing community.
Intent: To Provide Junko's property with a submission to describe it as well as keep track when she decides to improve upon it.
