Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

"The ease of movement and restrictions wil be important. we have pirates chomping at the bit as it were to try and get back into Commonwealth space. The breakwater attracted attention but thankfully not nearly as much as we could have gotten. Our privateers are working still to patrol the borders of the breakwater and lanes. With their marques that allow them to take whatever ships they catch from criminals and cargo that is not stolen from Commonwealth ships. A small price but they accepted it for a royal stipend from each world and so far they have not abused it yet. Credits make everything go around well enough."

She said it and their lanes of travel that were known originally haad rarely altered.. just the gaps and risks of them with the stormseeds that would prevent hyperspace travel... streamlining safety measures and travel times for many... the risk of being attacked also dropped... so their patrols would be able to work and coordinate. They could take many more measures and they were.. their newest models of ships being able to self replicate, their tyranis systems allowing them to detect foreign technologies being brought into the Commonwealth while intrusive... it also served to allow them to know if there was potential dangers.

"Credits, aurodium and jewels are kings in most cases and commerce is important to functioning societies... we can work on logistical works after that and my family has done plenty in that case with their mountain fortresses and trade hubs here on the planet but also expanding outwards to stations and... well the colonies are going to be expanding more then we have population... they have mapped several hundred trillion galaxies with companions... we will be able to access all of them plus the pocket dimensions and universes that we have been working on exploring but we simply right now do not have the population numbers to colonize... mining though with biots is able to be done."

Junko knew there was a lot more.. their family was extending to the stars more and more.. mostly each one who could would oversee the trading and commerce districts of the colonies... they had proven and were some of the best trained for it here. With a steady flow of goods, services and credits they would be able to continue to expand outwards and a single colony could become a world and then a system... a sector and eventually maybe they work to have the Commonwealth that far out and it is able to be preserved as a way of life. THey would also be able to have their extra-dimensional colonies expanding and that brought in resources few others had.

"The expansion on trade has caused some issues, minor in most cases. Just worries about processing power for all of the ores that we are bringing back.. several families see the value of the molecular furnaces and equipment but like crafting by hand. All the new materials being brought.. some we have never encountered before... and it is a learning experience how to use it. Add to that the continued expansion and fabrication of our own materials like the hypertech well anything in that line from Sasori and Atrisi... we have a lot of materials with our minds working out the best way to use them. ANother year or two and the problem will likely go away."

"I see." Junko said it as she was thinking about it and yes it made sense.. breaking down the materials and using the fabricators, duplicators and their programmable matter to reconstruct it did a lot for resource management as well as converting waste from cleaners... it allowed them to do a lot with minimal to no adverse effects... but the new material could have a thousand and ten uses once they really discovered what it could do and they needed time to be able to do that. "I know we have many of the divisions working on ways to use any of the materials that we have discovered, combining them or just using them to replace some existing ones."

Miyoung gave a nod. "The different sciences are working with some of the unique silks and even some of the foods that have been discovered. Mostly they are common outside of the galaxy but they function beautifully for our purposes in many cases. We know we will be able o replicate with our matter converters thanks to the testing and we will be able to use the bota pods for the fruits to grow." She said it as they had grown several of the more interesting fruits. "The empress expressed interest in some of the exotic fruits and had some set aside for various things including fermenting into casks of wine... or something to drink. She used a few to try different styles."

JUnko understood that.. they had plenty for regular food, some for the chefs of the Commonwealth to be able to see what they could do and if it could be used in various dishes... the empress liked to make wine or in some cases other forms of alcohol... it would be something to see in a few years or so for sure but they should be able to do a lot more. "Well when the time comes I am certain her endeavors will be fruitful... maybe. There is much to do and more to test but it will be at least an interesting festival to see when all of these exotic fruit discoveries are unveiled and shown off for tasting.. even if they are bad everyone will want to try it cause it hasn't been done before."

"The empress has her enjoyments and has never been one to shirk... she has adopted several dozen more orphans and personally brought relief supplies to millions of refugees from attacks and the recent crisis. Her indulgences in wine making and spirits might be strange to some outsiders but it is no more so then the emperors floral cultivations or my sculptures." She knew a few other things and if they could help the empress make more things to give to others... her festivals were considered large projects gathering billions in donations of credits and supplies as well as other equipment like ships, weapons, armor, clothing, medical technologies and other supplies.

Junko was looking at the real tricks they had here.. with all of the refugees they had brought in there would be wider scale improvements to more of what they had. AAlready she knew production facilities, resource stations and their engineering departments were improved to the point they didn't have to worry... now it was just making back ups for the back ups... for keeping i able to produce and store itself. Worlds had massive storage capabilities with power plants that would keep them functioning for millions if not billions of years... storing, preserving, producing food, water and medical supplies.. with AI's to upgrade and update as needed.

 

[Junko Ike]

"The empresses festivals are something unifying.. the people love her and they continue to.. she is a darling in terms of polls and popularity... slightly more so then the emperor but he is a war hero and favored by many as he openly allows anyone to ask him questions... challenge him in martial combat or simply say where he should focus his efforts." Phaidor said it with a smile though as the emperor and Junko's own father were considered a winning team to have leading.. with the empress and Junko's mother the special investigator of people, places and events... between the four of them they are powerful, dangerous and overly serious at times but also warm and ready for anything.

Junko gave a nod of her head and the emperor had been nothing but kind to her compared to Akio... but he was also improved in many aspects... he wanted to elevate the people to be the finest in the galaxy.. he wanted to rival... nay dwarf the so called elite of Coruscant who were the schemers and politicians... Atrisia had that but it was less important as in the end they would have to challenge him for the right to rule and he welcomed anyone who wanted to challenge him... the empress might worry but few did since he didn't hide behind guards.. he welcomed their spirit and fight... Her would gladly fight them and had decreed that should he lose then the Commonwealth should follow the one who defeats him.

"THey are also really fun.. lots of serving girls who like to pour long in the cups." Barca said it as she was sitting there and had a look of amusement for herself... Min and Miyoung practically sitting on her legs and arms was a sight as she had adjusted herself to be wearing her sleeveless tank tops and no robes. THe material made to be form fitting but it was also good for being under armor and robes as protection. Her arms were barely visible as one of the serving girls was holding grapes above herr head and the mandalorian was leaning her head back eating pieces of them off of the vines. A display of indulgence compared to some but it was effective as the serving girls cheeks were red.

Junko laughed only a little.. Amusement. "You could find attractive serving girls anywhere and in any situation." There was a look from the mandalorian and she shrugged. "True, though some worlds it is only the ones who are brought with the war party for maintaining the camp." She seemed a little saddened by it. "But they are some of the best cooks you can find in the galaxy. Nothing like making a feast out of rations and morale." Her laugh was deep and she rose up holding the two handmaidens overr her shoulders as well as two serving girls under. Her grip somehow strong on all of them as she turned to look at Junko and was walking. "I'm stealing them away for several hours."

Junko looked at her and motioned with a hand as she was taking the four women away with her. Going towards one of the chambers and the opening door slid soundlessly for a moment and then closed. The muffling keeping the squeals of interest down while Junko looked at PHaidor. "Well that will keep them busy for a few hours... maybe even a day if she is really bored and letting off steam." A few chuckles were released for a moment, the other handmaidens adjusting where they were sitting and the food remained. The sisters were all on one lounger as was Uzeki who seemed to be enjoying her food. "There is more... the islanders have reported an uptake in fishing... natural pools and spawning."

Junko nodded her head. "That is good it means the resource spawning helped with population growth and is allowing intermingling." Uzeki nodded her head. "Yes, the natural spawning crossing with the production has given the fish farmers new hopes as well as lured in some of the larrger beasts of the seas... allowing richer harvests so far. The other day attracted by all of the larger sharks coming in several monster squids were seen and able to be taken in. Several out of the thousands being tracked below that was able to provide exotic foods to refugee clans across the islands... and then we were able to used the remains for more fertilizer."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was listening to the updates and Uzeki was direct about it at least. The fishers and islanders were some of the more diverse as any family could pretty much move to an island... most used them with a basic starter style package to secure it for storms that would be beneficial and trade which gave them a better amount of currency. The far flung ones even able to bring in their own as any of decent size to produce often had one to four fisheries or even aviaries adding to populations of birds and fish... which added to what could be harvested food wise... which further built up stores and fed families. The islanders then traded millions of tons to the mainland for freshly caught fish.

"We have also seen a marked uptake in food production. The mainland shops are making more orders and sending out some of the more exotic meats to the islands which is a treat for many. Travel has been improved as well, instead of just boats the airships help... allowing both to be used as needed and the latest in storm protection has benefitted them a lot more. We are having less damage done which means less having to rebuild after every storm. Deep sea fishing is considered some of the finest as well as it has improved with an abundance in populations now that their food sources have increased so they are able to spawn more."
