As part of its long term plan for military expansion, the KSU sought to beef up the orbital defense network of Kiribi as well as the other planets in its home system. Additionally, Kiribi was also looking to establish bases across the galaxy for more rapid deployment. That called for the creation of a new class of military space stations with robust defenses and services, but KSA currently lacked the infrastructure for fabricating such large installations in a timlely on its own. So KSA had turned to one of its long standing partners, Sasori, in a joint effort to begin development. They would assist in Sasori in improving their design in exchange to access to production facilities for their variant of the design.
They would work through Watchman Yune who frequented the region as a Jedi affiliated with the Silver Order. With a few engineers from KSA's Hast branch, she headed down to Shri-Tal for talks at Sasori headquarters. Among the other companies involved was Meran Mechanics, a growing Mandalorian firm who had began working more closely with the Silver Jedi and the Directorate as the United Clans began to deteriorate in influence.
During Matsu's opening presentation, Arisa and the KSA engineers were quiet, making notes as the Jedi Master spoke. This continued as one of the Mandalorians began to pipe up over holo-call to offer their input.
After others had their turn, Arisa decided to ask some questions of her own.
"So what kind of feature set are you looking at with the design in its current form? Are you looking to create a mobile fortress in the sky with lots of gun emplacements, or more of carrier centric layout for long range support? KSA is looking into the later option, as they would like the stations to effectively cover an entire sector along with a dedicated fleet detachment."
