Ayumi was looking over the designs as she sat there, her enjoyment and idea of this piece of equipment well... questioning. She wasn't sure of it like the others and Camellia Swift was one of the better shipwrights she knew if not the best. If she said it couldn't work well then that would be that and they could move onto the next thing but who knew maybe there was a chance Rendili had encountered it before and knew how to make it work. She was looking at some of the other technology and it sounded on par with things like the molecular shielding in absorbing. "Camellia I hope you are ready, I got a dozy for you this time my dear."

"What is it this time?" Everything was a dozy nowadays. Since they were working on the most advanced and singularly powerful starship in the galaxy, perhaps of all time, almost every project lately had been a dozy to complete. Especially seeing as most were all components for said starship. An enhanced Battle Analysis Computer, Molecular shielding, A Solar Ionization Cannon, Not to mention the enhanced isotope reactor the Silver Jedi's scientists on Shri-Tal had cooked up, along with one of Rendili's Proton-8 Reactors to boot as well, and last but not least the Silver Jedi had also went out and collected enough Nightshadow to cover a station. By this point it seemed as if they were probably way over their head. Nonetheless Camellia was enjoying Rendili's moment to shine with this project.

Ayumi looked at her and moved a little with a squirm, closing the distance and placing a hand on her shoulder for a moment as she spoke. "Oh you know, new things people have been researching and wanting to put into the ship... never know when such a thing might be interesting and this sounded strange but good. Never know so figured I would bring it to you and get your opinion... can't find much else about it." She smiled leaning against the wall a little on her shoulder to look. "Plus well they did give me another excuse to find my way back here and work hard, arderous nights with you pouring over designs and take out food."

Blinking a little confused, and perhaps concerned, with the hand on her shoulder, Camellia wondered for a moment if the request the other woman had for her was really going to trouble her. It all felt like a huge lead up to some massive work load and if it was Rendili Stardrive's CEO thought she might cry with everything else they were doing. The more Ayumi described it too, the less Camellia liked it. Something new being researched? New things were hard to implement since you had to figure out how they fit in with the old. Honestly Cam wondered what it was the Silver Jedi's representative was talking about in such a mysterious manner. It had her interested, but at the same time. . . . ."What is it then? Not that I don't enjoy your company. . . .I really do. I just am wondering what else could possibly go on this ship. At this point I'm thinking of more simpler systems to enhance rather than new ones. What were you thinking of though?"

"Well from the few reports we had found of the weapon it was able to leech shield strength to recharge a ships faster. Though draining over long distances is the part we can't really figure out." She was looking at her standing there and smiled softly. "But we don't want to overwhelm you and drive you crazy, there is only so much a single person can do and the Republic I am sure is using you just as much as the Silver jedi is. Getting Rendili with its skills to face down the sith fleets and build counters to it."

Well that was certainly true enough, the Republic was relying heavily on Rendili Stardrive to close the gap between the One Sith's continuous technological advantages in naval combat. The Sith Darkblades were monsters and the Republic needed something much more powerful and effective than the Darkblade in order to outdo the Sith's monstrous warships. It only pained Camellia that her company could do nothing to alleviate the tide against the Republic on the ground side of things. The darksiders Sithspawn creatures were near unstoppable in their various forms, and the Republic didn't seem to have a vehicle or droid manufacturer to develop weapons to match them.

However, Camellia had no intention of falling behind on the Silver Jedi's project just because she was busy. Although she did have to give a sad opinion on this new addition. "I think we should stop. This ship will already be packed with many many sections of advanced technology. A full holo-bridge, the Battle Analysis Computer, the molecular shielding, the artifact and meditation chambers, all that nightshadow, your molecular furnace, the solar ionization cannon, not to mention the expanded hanger and already existing weapons. There's just too much. At some point we need to stop adding special features and work on ensuring what's already there works. Heck I would suggest ditching the idea of a molecular furnace as well, it doesn't seem useful but then its up to the Silver Jedi. Things I believe the ship need would be packages against EMP damage to prevent electronic warfare from crippling it, and enhanced systems like communications, sensors, and maybe even targeting systems to go with the BAC and heavy weaponry."

Ayumi looked at her. "The molecular converters aren't really furnace sized they are more... personal for a person to use instead of a massive machine." She said it with a face but detected truth, perhaps things were moving stronger then needed and going a little more practical would be the real good way to go as she spoke. "Though I can see your point and there is going to be a lot on this ship. Moving forward we should reinforce what we have instead of adding new things. Might even see if we can find the Republic's dumping site where they put things and get some of those old model titan's.... the Republic doesn't want to use them and a near ten meter tall fully armed war droid for fighting monsters would be a welcome weapons to have to protect where needed." She offered a smile thinking about it. "So if we ditch this, what would you recommend we work on?"

Did the Republic have such war droids in their arsenal ever? Camellia couldn't remember, at the very least she knew that the Republic definitely wasn't fielding anything like that at the moment, and if they ever did have something like that in their armory then it was incredibly foolish of them to let it go. Considering the lack of major droid producers within the Republic nowadays and the rise of the One Sith's roster of various sithspawn monstrosities, Camellia would figure the Republic needed some definite support when it came to vehicles and droid technology to give them a fair edge in response there. Rendili Stardrive worked on warships, they didn't have the facilities or know how to create armies of battle droids. "Well if the furnaces aren't an issue sorry I mentioned them. I still think we ought to drop the idea of a weapon that we aren't even certain we could fully replicate. I think we should work on what we already are working on, and then look back at the basics. We have the enhanced weaponry from the Solar Ionization Cannon, the Nightshadow Stealth Coating, and the enhanced Battle Analysis Computer as its major standout features as a military vessel. I think we can improve overall performance, and that of the BAC specifically, by enhancing the sensor, targeting, and communication packages on board to make the ship more adept at collecting data on the battlefield, and transferring that into course coordinates and targeting sequences for the gunnery crews and those of allied vessels. This will also vastly make it more effective than ever once plugged into the Silver Jedi's satellite sensor network. You could even have the BAC command the defenses of a whole system automatically before the human element even notices."

Ayumi was thinking about it and the more and more she thought about it and what Camellia was saying she was tending to agree. It wasn't such a bad idea in the end and you never knew what could come of it while Ayumi nodded her head in approval. "I think that might be best, untested fancy tech won't help if we can be undone by basic systems. We'll work to make it as such, upgrade everything we can have and make secured. I think the credits that would have went into trying to find a way to get this working... well using them to upgrade things... We will save things and the credits can go into making the captains cabin or bunks look pretty."

That or the credits that would have went into the research could go to pay for the advanced systems and upgraded shield units. Creating a shield generator large and powerful enough to run a Molecular class shield was expensive, plus it took a lot of power to run. Camellia already intended to add a Proton-8 Reactor on top of the Isotope-5 Reactor the Silver Jedi had developed on their own already. It would run some very high yield power plants that probably shouldn't take any direct hits, but then with the design putting the reactors in the center of the ship they would be well protected at least. Plus with all its weapons and heavy shielding it wouldn't be bullied by anything except maybe the One Sith's Immortal Dreadnoughts, and even then those ships were much smaller than what she was aiming to build for the Silver Jedi. "Alright that sounds very good and acceptable to me. I'll prepare files and requests for the start of these systems to be upgraded as construction is continued. In the meantime shall we go over other features the ship will have or how the advanced systems may effect the performance of the existing equipment?"

"Yes lets." Ayumi smiled now to that and moved the chair with her hand to sit down and look at the desk, the screens or datapads whatever was going to be needed to go over the systems they were upgrading and working to put in place. It was going to be a fun jump to test, to build it would take a large effort and she had some plans for other features... mostly the bridge and not leaving it exposed or reducing some space in favor of thicker sections to add more protection. Her mind was going over it all bringing up the ship on her datapad to review the work and follow along with what cam had to say while she ditched the idea instead focusing on the other systems.

Well as Ayumi settled in Camellia first took to typing furiously on her own datapad as she put in requests to the engineering teams and company technicians to begin working on upgrade packages for the targeting and communication systems, along with sensors and the rest. Several displays showed seemingly random percentages and status updates, requests for additional funding for more time or materials, news about someone becoming sick or injured requiring a brief delay in the project, or successes in some nuance that really didn't matter much. "Well the advanced comms will enable the Inexpugnable to communicate better with the Order's satellite arrays which in turn will enhance its sensor displays to wherever the satellites own extend. Its own advanced sensors will allow it to interpret data better. And the upgraded targeting system will enable the ship to more accurately target enemy hostiles. And since the sensors are upgraded they become even more accurate. Plus they will all improve the BAC, the upgraded sensors give it better data to work from, the comms allow it to send out its battle plans to and get extra data from allied vessels, and the advanced targeting will allow it to chart attack paths and targeting solutions for gunnery crews for effectively. The Solar Ionization gun will add greatly to the ship's offensive power, the molecular shield will enable it to withstand non-physical damage, and the nightshadow will keep it hidden period. Overall this ship will be the most impressive command vessel in existence."

Ayumi listened to it all and all she could think of was being like a kid in a candy store with all the sugar... So much was there, so much was being built onto the ship and when the woman had laid it all out... Chickens done. If she was crude she'd say this was more exciting but dammit this was and the smile on her face was wide and everything about it very nice. "That will be grand, the stations that were built throughout silver jedi space are gridded to be mapped out, it is great for relaying information to the astrometric bays which should more then help the BAC. We have some ideas of where placing it and eventually upgrading things in the stations to mirror the ship down the line." Her hands were rubbing together in preparation for all of this.

"Well if we can eventually pull it off financially we could do an overhaul of the sensors and computer systems for the stations and satellites so that they all are running an enhanced BAC system so that the Silver Jedi will never be brought down with the loss of the command ship. That would be almost as big and expensive a project as the command ship though, and you could purchase a whole fleet for what we're putting into the Will of the Force." It would be worth it though, Camellia was going to make sure of that. A single ship with the firepower to challenge anything and the technology to handle any chore. A Command Ship to be the Silver Jedi's mobile HQ, coated in Nightshadow to remain undetected, and hooked up to a BAC with enough supporting systems and tied into the Order's satellite arrays to take charge of any problem anywhere within a system. Oh yes, Rendili Stardrive's CEO intended for her shipyard to create the most impressive starship in existence.

Ayumi held up her hands a little and waggled them... "It is a balance thing, the Silver Jedi formed from the inaction and infighting of the Republic and jedi order. The Ranger's leaving and jedi becoming friends was a small thing they barely noticed and now the Silver Jedi's mentality has changed with the birth of more zealotous orders. Having a large fleet that is visible can be dangerous and invite trouble, on the other hand it also serves the purpose of defense which is important so it is a dangerous trade off. We shall see what comes from things and there are a great amount of resources that the Silver Jedi have access to. Force crystals were used in the past to power ships and weapons, they have several large ones."

"The systems will work well in tandem with the enhancements Rendili Stardrive is planning for the Hammerhead Cruiser line. The refit is impressive but its no better than it once was. We fully intend to make it a much more effective ship than it used to be as well as upgrade its systems. Upgrades which would enable the ship to work quite well alongside an Inexpugnable of this caliber once again. Potentially allowing it to be run with a skeleton crew with the Inexpugnable's crew in one of its holodecks actually controlling its main systems and targeting coordinates from afar. Which with the satellite array links can mean controlling a remote fleet entirely from aboard the Will of the Force, which means that upgrading the comms for the Inexpugnable will enable it to establish said links with the smaller Hammerheads." It was a bit of an offhand detail surprise, but not one especially. The Hammerhead line was one available to many fleets and still would be, but the enhancement truly did benefit smaller groups like the Silver Jedi who had fewer soldiers to commit and less military orientation to build such a number of soldiers.

Now that was an idea she liked, controlling fleets remotely within their space from the will of the force would give it a real Katana feel that could work towards things. Ayumi was thinking about it now and controlling with a holodisplay they had would make some something with other benefits. She could see practicing fleeting engagements with a system that could think and move the ships but not have to contract other navy commanders. THey might luck out and be able to get Walsh from the protectorate to help them but there wouldn't be much else. Camellia would be busy and she didn't think the CEO would want to play at training a fleet on top of everything else... though never would hurt to see if she could get some exercises into the BAC to help teach humans. "That will be a wonderful addition, with the right training we have some plans."

Yes, Camellia liked the idea. In fact she loved it a lot! Especially the more she thought about it, because the more she thought about it the more she realized how possible and effective such a concept could be. "Rendili has used the technology before in the original Inexpugnable design when it used the Vanjervalis Chain to command the defense of worlds utilizing sixty four Hammerhead Cruisers. Each Cruiser could run a smaller crew to maintain itself while under the command of the Inexpugnable. Similar technology was also used in the Dreadnought heavy cruiser design when Rendili Stardrive attempted to create the Katana Fleet for the Republic Navy. I'm certain with enough work to the comms, sensors, holo-bridges, and BAC we can make it so that the ship run as the most effective naval command center for any fleet. I might try to work in an offer on a discount for enhanced Hammerheads and Dreadnought Cruisers once the work on them is done too. . . .especially if we can get the Silver Jedi's input on some of the work on them, I'm sure it would be very helpful."

Oh she was going to hav to look over that.. mostly because the technique she didn't know the finer details of or know about. Her fleeting experience had been bringing the most guns to the fight and tearing into the energy while interdicting them. Or just making them surrender from sheer force of arms. Something else thinking of plans would be a nice thing while Ayumi looked up. "That sounds better and better the more you speak of it, if you aren't careful you might be getting more in the future."

"Maybe that's what I'm after. More is always more fun isn't it?" Chuckling playfully, Cam let her mind wander over the prospects of redesigning and developing a whole slew of ships that could be sold in package with Inexpugnable class command ships. The advanced BAC and the comm and sensor units would make the vessel a truly amazing center piece for a fleet. A ship without equal in terms of singular power and its ability to command and organize an armada all by itself. She could hardly wait for all the upgrades to be made to the electronic suites. "I just have to make sure this product turns out amazing. We'll have everything started we talked about today by tomorrow, it will all be finished when the ship itself is prepared. Are you excited then Ayumi?"
