RNS Jamillia exited hyperspace over a green planet in an unremarkable, barely-charted system, deep in the Outer Rim. Scouts and probes fountained out from the Naboo cruiser, some to orbit the planet, others to examine the rest of the system, and a few to take stock of nearby systems and hyperroutes. The Jamillia-class specialized in sector-level situational awareness: nothing would be coming this way.
So far as the expedition was aware, the system was uninhabited, or home to only the occasional drifter base. Over the past two years, previous scouts and probes had ranged throughout this area, sampled the planet's ecosystem, and evaluated its tectonics. Still, though, there was no real way to know for sure what the new colony would encounter, not until the colony had already put down roots. They'd dubbed the planet Versai, in memory of the last queen.
In the Jamillia's wake, the rest of the convoy decanted to realspace: transports, colony ships, lethal Handmaiden escorts, science vessels, a couple of light carriers, and a massive, scarred Star Destroyer whose IFF read RNS Naberrie. The fleet settled into a watchful geosynchronous orbit above the selected site. Heavy dropships, bulk freighters, and starfighter escorts broke away and descended into the gravity well.
Two hundred thousand colonists, including the foundations of a comprehensive small university and technical school. Prefabricated defensive bases and durable residential units. Industrial water purifiers and fuel/ration converters. Scanners of every size and description. Vehicles both aerial and grounded. Theatre shield generators. Seeds, agricultural gear, livestock, zygotes. Security contractors, here to tackle the occasional predator nest or raider hideout.
OOC/ Figured this might be a fun thing. Feel free to be here as a security contractor, a colonist, an explorer, a prospector, a corporate sponsor, etc. Maybe you're looking to establish a corporate presence of some kind, help set things up, stir up trouble, or just pass through through the area. I'm down with whatever.
