Tigris Aphra
She gave a nod of her head to that view.. and it was largely true. The Wukong were offworld throughout the Commonwealth and expanding to there.. a means to train force users within. SHe looked at it as the airship was rising up enough and going over the city. The main area giving way to the massive chasm and bridge. Lined with alcoves were stalls were set up, thousands walking back and forth across it as the multi levels of it made for a large street. The lowest level extending to show areas for other airships to dock. Then the large mountain as it was covered in towers and chambers going up into a large spire.
The airship passing by it as it gleamed in the sunlight. THe mountain it was on going away as below the open area was filled with rivers and areas of land being used for food production, livestock and massive areas that were filled with panels to collect the sunlight. The inner most wall that is used able to be seen as it leveled out going up an area of the mountain. Large struts of gun turrets and defensive means able to cover larger areas and shielding projectors. The wall being large enough most forces couldn't easily scale it and with enough coverage on both sides to protect it without the large pillboxes of droids and cannons being able to be used.
The area beyond the wall was secured... the second wall extending out in the distance and erected with villages and towns laid out... plots of farming field between and forests. Everything laid out and cultivated to look incredibly natural but also able to be protected. With clear routes that would let people on speeders move through from different angles and routes. The grid like pattern being used to allow them to alternate harvests while towers for weather control and shielding could be seen. Throngs of people milling about in roads and markets as the towns wee showing off their goods in more local markets.
Junko didn't need to look down as they continued, the some food being brought back for here to eat when she was laying there on the lounge. The shade nice for her and the airflow of being on the deck. The exterior wall.. the furthest and largest showing the orchid platforms... massive droids built like city blocks of a walker loaded with weapons and soldiers. Almost like ancient parapets along the wall and spaced out while fighters and armor divisions could be released from it. Going over the wall revealed lush forests and rivers. The landscape within the walls carefully cared for while the exterior was able to overgrow itself.
Monitoring sections of the wall that would protect it but largely the walls were considered thick and harder to get through. The airship heading towards the high mountains as the forests stretched out. Roads paved and shown with areas for rest and Junko went towards the railing. "We developed smart tunnels much like the streets in the cities. THey are underground allowing the surface to flourish and like the airships while it is still in use for scenic and traditional movements. The tunnels allow emergency response, transportation of relief good and more to be done rapidly. Most visitors don't even know about them until one of the entry points appears and opened into the network."
She said it with a small grin on her face as the forest opened to real structures, fanned out like a crescent with smaller walls between them as they went towards the edge of a mountain. It being massive as the fan spread around enclosing it with shields being projected as the stronghold rose up. Its twin sides scaling up the mountain as each level had turrets, reinforced walls and at the highest level it waas within the clouds. "One of the oldest fortresses and schools and prisons depending on how you look at it. Dating to before the Unification Wars when all of the warring clans were united under one banner. It was the last holdout and the Jade Empress died after taking it."
Junko said it as she looked at it. "Later the Onyx empress used it to house her wards of various clans. Hostages to ensure their loyalty and foster indoctrination to the next generation who would be and remain loyal to her. Then a few thousand years ago it was revamped into a school serving somewhat the same purpose but has overtop been adopted into a mixture of academy and fortress. Allowing there to be a bastion aat one of the few entrances into the mountain passes leading towards the Agora and protected by the General of Swans." Her finger came up as passing over it the mountain range went on for miles in all directions.
"On foot to pass it even with longma or something to do the movement it could still average several months. By airship that can be cut down to a handful of days without having to navigate the canyons and gorges. The Agora is near the center of the mountains." She pointed and there was a larger set of mountains far far into the range. Several miles away from a large bleached white palace that loomed over the mountains and could be seen for miles." SHe was looking at it as there were some other structures around, some overgrown, some newer looking and some in use. With smaller villages and towns of small groups of people.
