Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

"The chance for diplomatic efforts is important and Shoma would say we have a duty to help the people... there is also always the importance of showing why we are better then most... a trip can serve multiple purposes like showing our superior technologies, our resilience and why we are superior.... while also providing aid to the people and giving them what they might need or would be needing to best help themselves." She said it with a smile on her face though while she was moving and prepared for a lot here. Naori would be able to send an advanced scout no doubt.. or she already had some and would be able to monitor the situation.

"I'll make preparations on our intelligence end. by the time you have the ship ready to go... we'll have an initial report and by the time we can get there we'll have a full report of who or what is important." She said it while pulling up information across her visor.. the faint orange glow visible at her ear while she was making use of it and Junko had to cut this meeting short sure but she would be able to use the diplomatic excuse to better improve relations with an older world in the core of the galaxy... if they could maybe get an outpost or a colony on Empress Teta it would put them that much closer to Coruscant and being on the pulse.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko's endeavors had been good for them.. they got a chance to see an alliance vessel... one of their finest she was certain in most cases.... and would be able to respond... improve and see to their own in the aftermath... the other vessels that had been involved had been less impressive but they would be able to learn from them as well... it was never a bad thing to observe the good or the bad... instead it was important to use each interaction as a means to better improve their own standing and understanding of the technologies... the people of empress teta likely would be thankful that they got some fo the better supplies and deployment pods.

She had been able to see a few other things.. specificially testing the waters for diplomatic talks and authority... mattered little what way it went for them.. outside of the breakwater and the Commonwealth.. it would be nice but she wasn't going to flex and throw a tantrum if someone she would likely never meet again or have an interaction with... didn't give into her demands or suggestions.... it wasn't worth it..... finally she had been able to test her own growing skills with the white current and the force abilities that she had been using but not flexing the muscles for as much.. she wanted to make sure that they were stronger and stronger.

 

[Junko Ike]

The quick departure had been... something. Junko had used the chance to do a few other things and coming back quickly enough... they had gotten to do a shakedown run of some of their vessels. The Dragon's Fang and its teeth ships were impressive in most cases... just to mess with others who might try and attack... the compliment of fighters went a long way for what they were making and Junko had been able to see the newest model of the fighters as it could go from walker to fighter... and one model could go to a heavy battleframe power armor that was impressive for making the soldiers and pilots able to control the designs within a combat scenario.

Phaidor was on the coms when she had returned and Junko had taken only a small amount.. instead letting her presence be known.. the royal family just needed to be visible and couldn't do that with a body double... or twn. Her soldiers were more then enough to handle the situation and the Atrisian navy had projected strength a lot more then some of them had been thinking about. "I worry that you went but I understand your reasoning princess... still would have been something." She was mostly laughing to herself about it as most of the handmaidens had wanted to see the incident... if you could call it that as it were and what might come from it.

 

[Junko Ike]

"It was not much Phaidor." She said it and sat there on the lounge as the airship was continuing to travel... the trip haad been quick.. the standing needs that they haad were impressive since they could transport aat a moments notice and with their use of hypergate technologies travel in the Commonwealth was... exceptionaally faster and more organized then other locations. THey could use their advances to have a ship loaded with caargo much faster then the crew would take to be grown and set up or translocated within it. So the trip there... unloading and back was faster... stopping to observe and aid where they could in a fight was only slightly time consuming.

"It was something, we saw what was considered the pinnicle of the Alliances technologies and their engineers... and we were still outpacing them by wide margins... and will continue to as we strive and push forward... improvements to the weappon platforms will be a big step and if we can perfect the Iota to be able to duplicate internally any of the weapons that we use it could make for incredibly powerful ship blissters with their own power source for protection and ability to operate without the main ship reactors being required.... The fighters though did what they needed to and we were able to use them as escorts and ground protection."

 

[Junko Ike]

"It is good the new fighters are preforming... Kanna will be happy to hear it and her mother. They spent a great deal seeing where those could be improved and I know the navy has been testing the various ways that it would be able to be used." Phaidor saaid it and Junko was looking at more of the information that they had about the performance of the fighters and their flagship.. with it they were able to do a lot more as it was also the first instance of them using the nobuna.. of revealing they had the means to interdict entire systems... as well as hyperspace tracking torpedo's... technologies that most of the galaxy weren't even thinking about.

JUnko knew a few other things.. they had only shown a handful of their weaapons and technologies.. the flowers had been impressive in many cases and the ability to deploy a fleets worth of guns to aid in a fight was important as they could link them... the ability to overclock and superchaarge their weapon systems from properly singing well... that was also a thing few others would have. The auditory enhancer might seem silly or unneeded but for their ships it added something much much more powerful as supercharging their shots would be able to do a lot more damaage when they could barrage vessels with a lot more impressive firepower.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Kanna and her mother will be happy with a lot Phaidor, largely because this incident shows the danger of why we should not involve ourselves outside of the breakwater... we can control much within Commonwealth space and it goes a lot further then that." They had their colonies here in the galaxy... in hundreds others and more dimensional planes now.. they had sources and locations that previous generations couldn't even dream about... couldn't think to have for their own.... and for them it was becoming common knowledge. She had other things... the vehicles alone were an impressive means.. the hypergate tanks... allowed them to be able to have entire fleets firing on a location from the breakwater.

"She'll be excited, the advances you brought to those fighters and ships alone... the improvements to the conversion technologies for making them function as walkers and fighters... and then some of the strongest power armor... our engineers are to be pleased and I don't understand all of it but... I saw some of the Alliance fighters and they were bulky and slow moving." She said it as Phaidor was politically stronger then most.. she understood how to move among the courts and lords and ladies.. she could play political games with the best of them and would be sarcastic coming away with her princesses best interest in mind.

 

[Junko Ike]

"The alliance is a beast, their ships and fighters showed it and were semi coordinated... mostly it was all about the brute force between the two sides... there was no elegence or control... no beauty to the attacks. Effective if your enemy is just as underdeveloped as you... our basic resonance shieldng for energy and kinetic impact even ion weapons alone would have altered things." She said it and well they had remained at the ready for engagements... haad some of the best but watched the pirates and the alliance slug it out more then anything... give and take could be useful but it also was just simple tactics that had shown... less imagination.

She said it all and believed it but well they had no reason to voice it outside of the Commonwealth.. their region of space waas within the alliance which meant play nice and maintain.. it was better for the people who wanted to be left alone... despite welcoming anyone who wanted to assimilate to the Atrisian way... that was important as they didn't just let things get a foothold and influence.. they made sure anyone coming in was properly loyal and of the mindset to improve what they were all working towards rather then endangering what was built... the post scarcity utopia they wanted... wouldn't really be a utopia... but it would not have food, water, medical supplies or even housing becoming an issue.

 

[Junko Ike]

"You can't expect them to want to change... they brute force their way from world to world and it is more of a notch... which most would have and even older mandates of emperors within the Commonwealth did at times.. expansion is important." She said it and Junko had to agree it was a mad dash always at first to try and get the resources to maintain.. no one left their world and system with everything already taken care of... they had to take worlds that would benefit them quickly... but then you wanted to make each of those worlds be part of soething rather then just be there.. they should contribute and assimilaate to the government not be able to have opposing interests.

Junko had more for it and there was a lot of information coming in for them.. she was headed from her vessel towards the palace... they were cutting short the grand tour but not forgetting the others as the few others were citadels and dedicated to military actions... prepaared for aall of them to be able to defend the main island... as well as artificial areas that haad been set up allowing one to swim between them.. it would be a dangerous incident but it was possible and there was a chute that could be used with the hydrostatic shielding to protect from predators... and each island was visible with small supply caches in case of such an emergency situation to get back to the mainland.

 

[Junko Ike]

The airship touching down as Junko was able to stretch and she could see it. The airfield on top of an area of the mountain that allowed her to look across the island while she was able to see it. Beautiful jungle trees concealing the buildings... the pathwaays and each platform in the jungle... the bamboo forest that was behind the palace and connected to the caanyon and channeled through to the private beach and hot springs... this high up they had carved into the stone itself steps. Smaller droids were maintaining it and threading metal into the stone to maintain it as well as concealing it as from an aerial view it looked closer to the island itself.

As she moved towards the steps leading down she could see more of the village here.. the canyon below winding and small pumps designed to draw any rainwater so it wouldn't flood or become dangerous and jumping it into the waterways with filters for the sediment and dirt. Hydrostatic shielding able to better protect from the majority of rain so that it would go into the stone and dirt but also be filtered and the droids would keep things from becoming a landslide. The trees carefully being cultivated aas she walked through and more were walking around in smaller alcoves with fruit baskets and other collection trays.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could follow all of them as they were going... the serving girls who were gathering all within the temperature controlled areas. Everything was made to be perfect and it would protect them.. allow them to walk around in the sheer silks with no sleeves that clung to them. The waters that fed into the trees circulating and pulling any fruits that fell to the ground into other collection basins that droids were able to use. The sounds of bare feet on the grasses were simple... nothing heavy before the jedi princess had a smile on her face and she was listening to others come as she got some of the fruit for herself. One hand coming out and pulling the peel off as she bit into the juicy morsel.

Junko was looking at it as some of the priestesses approached... religion on the world was still important even if they knew a lot more.... the white of their robed kimono's were beautiful, shaved heads freshly waxed in the light and inked tattoo's from them. She was able to see a lot more as well when they stood there. The golden links of their robes jungling aas Junko looked up. "Yasmela." She said it with a smile on her faace though as the woman looked at her and the pale skin was really different compared to the bronzed initiates that were with her. Their forms lithe and able to move she knew faster then their forms looked like it was possible.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko amused herself though while she was there and rose to walk with them. As spiritual advisors well many might think it funny for a jedi to listen to them but there was a lot that could be said about what they were doing... there was an impressive amount to be done between what they shared aand what they brought to the people. SHe knew the people in the village itself would be happy though. THey had streets of metal and stone, covered with fruit trees, fabricators and improved means that they would be able to clean and purify the air. Everything was crisp, clean and better then what they were expecting aas JUnko stretched coming out of the mountains.

"It is good to see you home princess. We heard about the danger when they were in ceremony... Kenzo wished to mount an attack against those who would come after or endanger you." She said it with kind of a laugh in her voice. Junko could think about it and Kenzo was not entirely the best one for diplomatic relations but it was amusing... really amusing in the thought of it. "That would have been something to see... she certainly would have had little to do though... the biggest danger to the ship was us being bored... largely the fighters were boring and even when we offered the Alliance just didn't want to utalize anything.... they wanted to be on their own."

 

[Junko Ike]

She got a nod of agreement as walking through the pathways opened to reveal the village itself. The streets stone and metal, polished highly as they had the smart roads within them... able to move the carts around automatically and gatherings for donations, payouts that are being given to the people who grow their own foods, supplies like drinks or bottle their waters. The people produced, they traded, they sold to the Commonwealth itself.. they received their credits in chit or ingot form or into their aaccounts. IT wasn't a job this was a hobby and many more had larger gardens that were able to be seen as she walked down the pathway on the street and could see the children playing with collection droids for the fruit trees.

THey were walking more through it and the detached palace could be seen.. the pathway leading to it lined with fruit trees as the exotic fruits gleamed high in the branches... the silver grasses cared for and long which might have looked untended but it was carefully cut to be within the planters... not overgrowing it. She could see more of the people around as all of them were working and selling meats, spices, silks in the marketplaace. Collection bins coming to them with orders that would be able to deliver, orders for food or drinks.. it was a way to handle the newest craze of delivery to the homes. There were others running around, classes with katana's and displays of their martial arts skills that others were still doing.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey were all moving and Junko could admit to a few things.. largely that they were all impressive to see. The display of their skills.. the fighting prowess and finally there was the one leading some of them as she commanded the guards and soldiers here. Kenzo was like Nari in some ways... she was dedicated but she had started in a different place. A visitor who was taught and has grown up in their military prospects... then led teams of Metsuka and her skills got her here. The Yaaxil was a large cat woman with orange fur and black stripes on her face as she was moving with the others. Nari was there and her captain of the guard worked with her to organize.

Junko could see Naari there as Kenzo moved... towering over her sure but also providing what became a much better reaction as some of their students and recruits from the commonwealth soldiers were considered alien... and Atrisian. They had been taught, trained and were loyal in the extreme given that many of them came from fallen worlds or worlds that had been attacked and left to struggle... refugees and their children were brought in, trained and taught to serve... while providing their own experiences that could alter and be adopted to improve in some areas. Chiss, zeltron and twi'lek engineers along with Atrisian had cracked stellar and dimensional engineering afterall.

 

[Junko Ike]

"They look very impressive." She said it while standing there and the recruits continued while Nari and Kenzo turned to look at her.. the older seasoned bodyguard glaring but there was a warmth there.. she had protected Junko for a long time and wasn't one to get mad at her for some of her antics.. Otherwise she would be mad all the time and that would give her so many wrinkles. "You can't both be mad at me... this time I swear it was totally not my fault we even recorded it. That alliance ship opened fire on the other ships before we had even started delivering supplies." There was a look at them and Nari seemed ready to speak while Kenzo crossed her arms.

"It isss not that you were in the fight it isss that you chossse to go without one of usss... I know Commander Nari has been your guard for a long time and she knowsss when to let you be but the ressst of us are not sssso ssssure princesssss." She seemed to put extra enphasis on the sss in princess while Nari just nodded her head walking over and speaking. "We know, we saw other reports and all seem to say the same thing.. that Admiral Khan was sent out to make sure you were safe revealing our fleets to the rest of the galaxy is the real danger. We are showing those who know how to pay attention that Atrisia is back and ready for a higher level of warfare."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at the large cat woman who towered over most of them... she only spoke like that when she was agitated. "Kenzo, it is alright... mostly cause I had more then enough from all of you there even when you aren't there." She said it and offered her a hand on her shoulder as Junko stood up as tall as she could on her toes. THe woman looked at her and Nari spoke. "It will be fine Kenzo, you can't forget the princess was a jedi first and still is.. she is more physically fit then a lot of soldiers still and has never stopped or gotten lax in her training compared to some." She said it and looked at the woman with a raised eyebrow as there was a moment of tension.

Then Kenzo laughed and looked at Nari... stopping just enough to see the recruits who were standing there. "What you don't think your commanders joke was funny?" She said it looking at each of them. "Your captain is getting to fat for her armor." She laughed and Junko closed her eyes for a moment as the recreuits seemed to be laaughing nervously... they had looks of being uncertain for the moment and Kenzo turned for a moment like she was furious.... "Think that is funny do you?" She said it as they stopped and looked even more nervous. "Well go get the armor stretcher." She said it loud and some of them were stumbling to try and get out of there.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko remained quiet until they were gone and she looked at Kenzo as her eyebrow came up. "Armor stretcher?" She said it with an eyebrow raising... how long until they realize the armor adjusts... or you know such a thing never existed?" She was curious as it would be something they needed to know... for tactical reasons. She was enjoying it though and Nari was right there as she laughed. "Maybe an hour or two but it will let us get you back to the palace." She said it with a look like she was expecting a challenge and Junko didn't offer it.. she hadn't been going to Empress Teta for a fight but she also hadn't needed to be involved or stay.

"Fine fine." She said it and Nari with Kenzo was taking her as they walked leaving a third one in charge if they came back... the palace work had continued and with all the smaller palaces for her handmaidens it served with shielding, soldiers, art and even some of the best in terms of communications. She could see they had been working on a few other things as well with the stained glass windows of the upper floors and her maids were busy within. The floors freshly polished... statues of aurodium gleaming and encrusted with thousands of gemstones from across the galaxy that were imported and traded.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko continued as she looked around the palace.. they were working on the hallways and the gallery that had been built for the halls interconnected with many of the rooms in the central area. The gallery itself was for her serving girls... attending maids and handmaidens to be able to move quickly and they did... it also worked for the biots that were cleaning, the palaces nanite cleaning droids and drones... being able to maintain the beautiful look of it all as vases, statues, murals and art was put up everywhere. Junko could see a lot more was being worked on here construction wise as the wings of the palace were also being expanded.. with the mountain and the bamboo forest beyond.

From the statue garden she could see it through the larger windows at the back. Her wing of the palace was always being improved upon... the larger meeting room was massive. With a sunken area leading down to a table where an ivory statue was carved and beautiful in its design. The likeness was to an ancient goddess and oracle of the people... the clothing sheer with aurodium bangles chained lightly forming sleeves and pants. A girdle encrusted with gemstones as her hair flowed across all of it and the ebony table made it look like a person was there... gemsstones for eyes as the artists were being exquisite on the details down to the smallest creases in the curves.

 

[Junko Ike]

"It is beautiful." She said it and was looking at it as the artists were working. The smile on her face as she didn't think she could do better herself even with the special clay that she used for her statues. The artwork of it would be something to see but her statues were able to serve as watchers and alert her if something came to the palace. This would serve to just be a piece of wonderful art... maybe... she might add a vocalizer that would allow an AI to talk and mess with people who would wonder if it was real or not... A small thing but they would be able to have a little fun with it and the jedi princess was all for a little excitement and fun.

"Thank you princess." There was a look and the jedi princess patted them on the shoulder. She was happy with their superior work as she could see a lot more going into it as well as the designs of the outfit.. the hundreds of small links for each aurodium chain that connected to the bangles and anklets were carefull molded, intersparced with kyber links and other gemstones all perfectly and expertly cut. The final part of the area around the table was the sunken room itself which was designed to house many more. To welcome more statues like an audience chamber that could be observed and Junko would fill it eventually.

 

[Junko Ike]

"I'll have to work on improving my sculpting and fill the room... or maybe find some. This could be a gallery from around the galaxy as opposed to just another room of beautiful women." She said it with a look and there were some laughs from her handmaidens... even the soldiers. There was the statue garden for herself and she stretched out while she was walking through to the other chambers. The gallery above ending when it was the more private areas of Junko's bedchambers. The outer chamber with serving girls milling around, more statues and plates of food and fruit. She could see the tables and there was space for the vahla who cooked the meats for gatherings.

Phaidor was there and the atrisian handmaiden was standing as she organized more of it. The information about the events on Empress teta had come and there was more. "You got lucky princess. After Empress Teta the alliance went to Tython and went after Drengir. We offered the aid of the anti-drengir biots and terraforming equipment... as usual no response or communication. They seem to want to do things their own way." She said it and there wasn't even disgust but boredom and indifference at this point as Junko nodded in agreement. She at this point mostly viewed it as a place most weren't invited to be and didn't need to be as bothered.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Drengir on Tython is troubling but we can only offer. The Commonwealth is not what it was before but we have changed... we just don't have the capabilities to go where we are not wanted when there is an entire universe looking to accept our help. We have colonies but extra-galactic and extra-dimensional... we have worlds that are still being brought into the fold that we are developing for ourselves and continuing to improve upon." She said it as the planned expansions were not of territory but it was of depth and vision.. they could do a lot more as their temporal research continued to improve by leaps and bounds and they could have AI's developing improvements within days or hours....

While internally their processors were chronologically running for thousands or millions of years. The AI's becoming smarter but designed with a fundamental core programming that they adhered to and respected... it was what aided Atrisia in advancing their automation and manufacturing towards having more then enough for greater projects. Junko knew a few other projects that were being worked on as each planet was being given several generators... a heart as it were and if they could bring their choushin technologies and bioconstructs to them then they would be able to further give worlds a personality that would improve their capabilities.
