Dain looked over the report for his new station that was just outside the Hoth asteroid belt, it had been created for the growth of his organization. His dreadnought class ship was currently blasting large chunks out of some of the asteroids, which would then be towed back to the station for processing by the Coreillian corvette class ship that he had originally bought.

For the asteroids that contained gas, a drill was set up that drilled deep into the asteroid, then a pump was put into place and that gas was slowly pumped into a rather large cargo container on the bottom of the theta class shuttle, which was also brought back to the station to be stored for later use.

Many of the raw materials they collected were being used to increase the size of the station itself, currently construction teams were already adding a control tower to the roughly square shaped station, as well as a hanger on the right of it, these were only half completed. Dain watched the construction ships zip around the station bringing materials and supplies to different sections. Dain hoped to increase the size of the station to include living quarters, a shipyards, and possibly some other things. the shipyards would be in service to his organization, so that he would be able to have his own ships made, rather than relying on other companies that might sell him out to the authorities.

He walked across the bridge and looked at another view screen that showed the planet hoth down below. He had set up a twenty man operation on the planet in order to start a colony, eventually he hoped he could stake a claim to the planet so that he could further colonize it and begin mining efforts on the planet. He figured that within the next couple of weeks he could begin the addons to his station, he'd start on the shipyards first, then the living quarters and then go for better shielding after.

He though to himself how powerful he could become if this plan worked, and how he would no longer be required to steal, and may become a legitimate buisnessman...

<day 70 of operations>

Dain stood in the now finished control tower of his station, it was roughly the width of a house, and stood out from teh station by a few dozen meters. The shipyards were almost complete, and he had hired scientists and developers working on putting a new ship class together, one that would symbolize coreillia rather than a anyomylous pirate fleet. He also had a smaller group working on a design for a possible flag ship he could use personally.

The profits from the gas and raw materials that other systems were buying was fairly good, it was keeping that operations running and giving him a nice chunk of money, most of which he'd spend on this anyways. The colonists claim for the planet had been granted for now, giving them a three month period in which to get three hundred settlers there under a contract to stay for at least a year. Dain simply opened up permement job positions for most of the workers as long as they took up residence on the planet, he found that witha bit of a raise most of the workers quickly signed up, not caring much to go back to Nar Shadda in the first place. within the next couple days he was going to process more materials for the station and begin construction on other parts.

<day 100 of operation>

Dain stood in the living quarters' mess hall, at one of the many tables in the room. Almost every worker had been gathered here for a day off, to celebrate the 100th day of the operation. He looked around at the faces, many of them were happier than where they had previously lived, although the life was hard here they had made a community that had less crime than Dain previously had thought it would. "Welcome to the new living quarters of the station! Thanks to your work this has been completed, along with a ground colony, Hoth can now be considered succesfully colonized!" He smiled out at the group and held up his cup, as the workers let out a cheer in unison, he then sat down and placed his cup in front of his plate. After the hard work of the past months, he was hungry.


Later the same day, Dain looked out the viewport from the stations mess hall towards the mining operations on the asteroids. He was hoping to release the schematics to the shipyards so they could begin on the construction of the ships, they had all the materials to start...they just needed more people, which is what the living section of the station had been created for. The station was now almsot a complete city in space, and with the new job opportunities from the shipyards, people had been arriving to take up the challange. About half of the colonists currently lived on Hoth, the other half on the station. He had a lack of names for the station, so he had made a contest for the people to come up with the best name for it, so far there were nearly twetny entries, and thought he could puke at most of them... he supposed he'd have to get used to it though, since he'd be in charge of these operations for quite a while.

<day 140>

Dain thought at how this project had changed him...he no longer thought only about himself, but about the colonists, he made decisions to make things easier for society, not harder. He supposed that he would occasionally go back to his old ways, but he had to admit, that this change was well worth it. The station had attracted many people in search of jobs, and the production of the class of ships had begun. The new class of ships were called "independent" which suited the spirit of Hoth... He had decided to use a upgraded version of these as his flagship called the White-Echo. Although none of these ships had been completed yet, he had high hoped for their capabilities and high armaments. They sported 6 quad laser cannons, 3 on each side,
2 turbo laser batteries, on on top and one of bottom, each ship was 50 meters long. for his flagship he requested that two white stripes be painted down each side of the ship. He supposed that a flag would have to be created for the system, another contest could fix that problem...

<day 150>

Dain supposed that Hoth technically wasn't part of the republic, since they hadn't officially joined it. This meant that they were a completely independent world and that many "anonymous" groups would be coming to them for ship requests.

The world was only to happy to comply, they had started construction on several ship classes that people had requested, the banking clan had requested a couple ships made, (dain didn't really keep up with the War that was going on...) But business meant that the station could keep growing. At the moment Dain Had hired an insane amount of construction teams to prepare for huge addons to the station. He was going to make for more living sections, and practically double everything else, they were also going to redesign the main body of the station so that it would look better...rather than the current box shape. The shipyards were going to be increased by three times, and productions would follow that as well. More people had arrived and settled on Hoth for the jobs at the station. By this time, several Independent class ships had begun to mine the asteroids and were also in use for the cargo work, the dreadnought class ship had been hidden deep within the asteroid field so that if the system was ever searched there would be no connection to the current Dain, and his past.

The flag for the world had been finished, a black background with a white circle in the middle and two white stripes on either end of the flag, this design was then implemented throughout the station, and colony down on the planet. everything was going well.

Dain sat in his small office as they came in for job offers. Most of the ones today had been to join the security team, they had all made it in seeing how the security team was a bit lacking at the moment. Right now there was no one schedualed, he stood up and walked out of his office, he was eager to see his new flagship

[dane]

Dane` looked down as she came out of hyperspace and the icy planet of Hoth appeared in her viewscreen. She sighed slightly, the things she did for her people; but she knew deep down, she loved it. Queen Jamilla had asked her to come to Hoth and see what was going on, just out of "curiousity," she'd stated, but she knew it was for security purposes; one last diplomatic mission as a Naboo Royal. Luckily the Queen had allowed her to recieve a customized luxury H-Type Nubian Yacht, similiar to the one given to Senetor Amidala, only with an array of weapons, for use in emergencies. Looking down, she'd need to refuel here before setting course for Coruscant.

After she had made her way through the asteroid field and began a routine orbit, on autopilot, she disappeared to her main room. Dane` returned in a thick, white, fur lined ensamble, her hair up in an almost perfect manner as she sat back down, opening a comm channel to the colony below.

"This is the Nubian Vessal Ramayana requesting permission to land."

Sitting back, feeling the warmth creeping through into a mild sweat, she waited for their response.

[dain]

Dain heard a crackle come over the comm on the bridge of his ship. Theres a Nubian ship requesting permission to land, sir. Dain leaned over in his seat and clicked a button on the terminal beside him, opening a comm channel to the Nubian ship. This is the Hoth ship White Echo, please land at Dome three, it's the largest on the right side of the colony. And welcome to Hoth He clicked another button on the terminal and switched the comm to communicate with two of his own ships: Taun-Taun and snowball, I want you to escort that ship to Dome three.

He sat back in his chair as the acknowledgment light went off on the terminal and the ships moved to either side of the Nubian ship and escorted it to the dome.

[dane]

The comm crackled in her ear and Dane` sat up.

"This is the Hoth ship White Echo, please land at Dome three, it's the largest on the right side of the colony. And welcome to Hoth."

Shifting in her seat, she quietly replied, "Copy that White Echo."

As she began to descend, the colony became more and more apparent, looking to her sides, two ships had come alongside her; obvious escorts. She'd seen the surface of Hoth once before, but she'd never imagined an actual colony on the snowy surface.

Taking caution, she landed smoothly in Dome Three and powered down her engines until it sat completly idle. Dane` pushed a stray piece of hair from her face as she pressed a small "call" button. A reddish astromech droid appeared quickly.

"R4, activate medium security perimeters and backups. Check over the ship and send a status to my datapad."

The unit beeped affirmatively then disappeared as she wrapped her coat tighter, and opened the exit ramp. Her boots clanked loudly as she stepped out into the containment of Dome Three where she found a small party waiting for her.

(can we post in the other two threads please? I think ill use this section to keep people updated on the stations upgrades... hoth colony and hoth station are the other ones^.^)

(No problemo...

On the inside it was different, grass was growing in 3 of the domes used for recreation, and in all of them viewscreens had been installed on the upper half of the dome to display a realistic view of a blue sky and clouds, fans blew in warm drafts that made the place seem completly different form what it actually was. A small ponds were placed in two of them for use by the people
