Jaster must have completely answered all their questions if they were not answering. He figured this was pretty much a straight shot, finish the ship and they enter the Unknown Region. So he would continue to escort them across the station in areas that were pressurized, and secured by the guards.

"Well I'm glad there are no more questions, I think we should start the walking part of our tour."

Jaster lead them and continued to exit the Hangerbay.

She was happy to be showed around the space station, as it might give her ideas for when she was building her own. So she followed her guide, and was going to wait till end if she had any questions. As the answer may come appear during the tour of the space station, and she would be able to have drink chat about these things after. After you Jaster.

Jaster was still somewhat unfamiliar with the station, he only visited one time before when it was still just a skeleton. Now with its near completion Jaster wondered the hallways in search of one of the Market places. Larger then 1,000 square meters they are considered one of the larger space market bazaars. Also having three large market bazaars was considered a record by many standards as nearly all trade stations only contained one large market place and multiple smaller cargo holds. This one contained multiple cargo holds and three main Market places.

The market places were separated into the 3 quadrence hence why there were 3 large markets. The central bazaar was considered the alliance market place, all the alliance products could be sold here, all the upper ended living quarters where here as well. The lowest level were the criminal underground casinos, the UTC had need of them so why not accommodate them. Then the most secure market place was the top level, located near the station security Baracks and central command. This market was for all the Unknown Region tech and Tradeables that they deemed sellable.

Jaster wanted to control the flow of sells for the Unknown Region. Controlling it for as long as he could would make his alliance of comanies very wealthy and possibly monopolies in these areas.

She looked around as she was being shown the station, when completed it would make an excellent trading hub. It seemed to have a good cargo system, market places, right amount of security protocols. It was also in good place, to attract merchants, at the end of hyper lane. She knew is business idea would be a success. She did have one question though, May I ask what do you plan to do if pirates come to play? They had fleets of there own and some decent ships, they could cause some trouble for him, if his defense was lax and they could sense it. She figured he have plan, but she like to hear it.

Jaster knew this well, Pirates were a big deal in the Unknown Region and in the old Fringe Territores. Yet Jaster also knew that if this station was ever in the direct line of fire damages would cost millions. So he only carried light laser cannons for small asteroids that normal shields couldn't handle. Otherwise Jaster large Navy would be its defense from other fleets. Jaster fleets were much larger then even that of many of the outer worlds, Pirates would attack Smaller stations with less defenses before attacking here. His main concern that it was large enough to defend against large pirate fleets and small invasions. The station however would always stay out of harms way.

"The UTC Private Fleets will protects this station, they are large enough to protect this station from even the toughest pirate invasions, as for military invasions, our fleets just don't have the exsperiance to keep the base for more then a few months, the stations supply line will outlast the defenses every time."

That's good to know, you can defend convoy here. Though would you be willing, to offer protection on trade convoys it self? If he could, he would have to store munitions here for ships, as well as fuel. Though there would be money for him in it. As that would come at a price, as everyone would be excepted to pay for it. Plus thanks to logistics, they would have travel at same time, that in itself would create a premium travel time. He could also sell off positions in the convoy, as the one in center would be worth more than ones at the edge.

The conglomerate had a limited fleet, escort and protection was almost impossible for all their trade ships. They carried only limited Police Officers from the Conglomerate Private Police, and even then they were only armed with small arms. The only protection itself was from small military vessels and starships. That was a small list of the larger arsenal that could be brought up against any of the trade caravans that would leave this station.

"This station has enough consumables both civilian and military to outlast a siege of years, it is after all a trading port for large ships, fuel, ammunition, as well as military grade weaponry are sold here, so protection is sufficient within the confounds of this station," Jaster knew however of what she meant, "As for when they leave though, that would be another story, one more difficult seeing as we have a small escort navy, our budget is too small to constantly buy outside escort vessels"

Jaster continued to lead the pair off to the top level Command Center.

Jasper finally reached the top levels of the station that was still under construction, "We have thousands of workers here at the station and many are employed through Val'hala, one of the largest planets and fiancées of many of our projects, as for all the security they are commanded by our Police Cheif [member="Drax Thorin"], his center all base would be the Grey Watch Security building, still under construction but is located near the Cental Control Deck"

They entered a room where from top to bottom were screens and holo-projections of data and cameras revived video. This was the room where all information from Market Security is brough. One there it is cycles by hundreds of profilers and police officials who check everything and use droids to process much of the work load. "This is the crown jewel of all our security efforts, state of the art cameras and protocol droids to assist with the profiling of crimes and criminals before they happen, it's a difficult process, but better hen acting before it happens."

She looked around, Impressive, she then taught she would tease him, just a little. So how would this say profile me? This was more curiosity than anything else, she then looked at him to see if he would take her up on the offer. Though he might be tactful and try and find away of not doing it, though she was actually quite interested in the results. As it might help her chose her employees, other than just peering into the mind and making sure she could trust them. As that usually meant hiring weak mind people, and that had it draw backs as well.

Jaster smiled before speaking up, "I know you as much as I would like Ms. Kotass, anything more and it may damage out buisness relationship into more, plus I like taking my females to dinner before knowing them as well as that droid just figured out."

The droids were safisticated, Jaster wanted the station to feel safe so he special ordered the brains of the top of the line Police Droids. They were then programmed into the protocol droids and made to watch endless reels of camera film. It would drive most humans to the point of insanity and this Jaster hired droids.

The command floor was busy with endless amounts of officers of different races and genders. The station was close to finishing and once opened, there would be no breaks to get the finals adjustments underway. It began to get busiy so Jaster lead the tour to conversation with possible members of the newly facilitated officers.

She realized he dodged it nice way, well he tried to at least. She was not his female though, possibly good thing for him. So talking of dinner, where do eat around here. I take it you food outlets, other than McYodas. She could stand the place even the salad was fattening, worse still it was more fattening than the burger. She still not fathomed that out, she tried to many times. Not one scientist had worked out what they had done make it so.

Jaster figured that his small joke may have been a little on the off side, he was never good with making jokes. He had a bad track record with the whole thing, but he figured it was a good time to head out for a bit to eat. He looked for an open vehicle and found a UTC Stations Speeder. He escorted them close to the vehicle and spoke about college how these were on the station.

"These here are the station speeders, this place is too large to walk everywhere so speeders were brought aboard and can be used to get between multiple layers of the station as there are multiple large marketplaces on this station, they are maned by station employees and act as taxies to transport visitors across the station, would you care to ride together?"

 

[Jaster Awaud]

Jaster had the representative escorted the their speeders and he would check on the rest of the construction of the station. It was truely a magnificent price of work and engineering that the alliance of companies had created. Of course there were still some things to check on, one such thing was the droid stations and the Representative Hall. This was one of the largest central projects that would be the centerpiece and resticted areas in the station.

This was where the members of the Conglomerate were to meet and smooth out the details of prodjects. Of course this would be broken into smaller talks, but Jaster still wished to see what this centerpiece was to looks like finished. He was told it was close to completion, but the area was compressed for your without space suits.

 

[Jaster Awaud]

Jaster moved through the Market Place on the top level, this was the level in which all Unknown Products were to be sold or packed for transportation. It was still under construction, but he could see the potential of the open spaces for easy transportation and marketing. Of course there was still room for improvement, as all places were never truely finished. This station was still acceptable for pedestrians and forces to equip and purchase what they required.

The market places were the main objective of the station, to act as a Hub of protection and security for the trade. If Jaster had his way, this station would be the next frontier for the colonial exspance.

 

[Jaster Awaud]

As Jaster loved onto the Represenatives Hall, he was amazed at the seer size of the room. It was located at the top of the station, even a above the Central Secirity Room. The sky was separating space and the room by feet of PlasmaGlass, it was a beautiful sight to behold as the sky was filled with stars.

He seemed to enter the room at a perfect time, construction workers stopped their work to look at the Skyline, the Planet was coming into view. The large light planet created a horizon separating the planet and the stars by a blue thin line. It was a beautiful sight, that was interrupted by the workers going back to work.

They were still placing the chairs into posistion, but otherwise the room was complete. Workers were placing the central table were the Merchant Board would sit. In the top part was were Jaster would sit, as the figure head of the conglomerate, Viceroy Jaster Awaud would be placed next to the Exsecutive Chairwomen [member="Xenia Nastassia"].

One Month Later​

Jaster stood at the center of the station, it was now complete and the new venders for the market places. It was starting to make the station feel less of a ghost town and more of the central trade Hub he was hopping for. The station now had ships docked and armed vessels protecting it and Corperate Police securing it from lowly criminals. What Jaster had only dreamed of years before was now coming to light, and soon it would be time to speak before the alliance of companies and governments.

He walked through the slightly clustered streets of the market places to retreat to his private quarters where he would relax.

The relax would be short lived of course.

 

[Jaster Awaud]

Jaster of course was no good with public speaking and considering there weren't a lot of members at the current time. This of course did not ease Jaster nervousness to speak of the future of the Conglomerate as an alliance. He knew where he wanted the alliance to head but this completion of the station just proved how costly the project would be, here he would need to address their concerns of a return. For this he thought hard and long about what exactly to do about it all.

It was the time for drastic measures to take this alliance to more profitable means, and that would require a more popular leader. That Jaster was not, as he enjoyed keeping his face off the news. He would need to think deep about what to do next.

Sabrina was there ready for grand opening of this new trading station, her workers where on the ground mostly drinking beer. As well as any other refreshments they could get there hands on, she was sat down at the back. She was on one of the balcony, waiting for his speech. Her table had read table cloth on it, and she had glass of water. She would be drinking later, but for know it was too early for her t start celebrating. As she wanted to last the night, and it could be one long night.

Jaster walked down the isle of the center of the great chamber where representative of the Conglomerate would meet and discuss. Today though it was filled with captains of prominent merchant ships, Traders, Negosiators, Port Commisioner, and employees who were invited to fill the 500 seats. They were all there to hear the opening speach for Jaster grand opening of the Conglomerate Orbital Trading Port. Here Jaster would turn the Conglomerate into a Trade Empire and dominate what already wasn't taken by the other Trade Companies.

He walked to the central podium and looked into the holo-camera droids and the many who appeared today. The light heated his skin as they brightly shined on Jaster and members of the Merchant Board. The seat next to him in an also elevated podium was empty. He would deliver what would be a large change to the Conglomerate.

"Allies, Assosiates, and Comrades, I, Viceroy Jaster Awaud, have invited you here to be the first to hear of our accomplished, as well as the changes of this mighty organization, we have gathered the brightest, the stronges, and the richest of supporters in our endeavor to conquer the Unknown Region and bring culture and prosperity to those who would not know of it, I employ those of you here to be the explorers and traders of 27,000 years ago, those who brought the economic influence and richness in culture to the worlds of poverty and of the Unknown, to accomplish this, I have decided to expand the Merchant Board to lead this organization in public affairs and management, I would like to introduce this organizations new Exsecutive Chairwomen [member="Xenia Nastassia"]."

A roar of clapping rose from the audience as they knew of the women from galactic new and other public tabloids, she was a rather famous buisness women.

Sabrina gave a round applause, as Jaster finished his speech. She mostly interested in the pay check at the end, though that said the night was young. She took another sip of her water, and waited for next guess speaker. She was not the cheering type, though she did join in the round of applause. She could hear a lot crowd cheering and clapping, as she approached the podium. She was new comer to the UTC, and it would be nice to see what she was up to from distance for know.
