Mahal stayed silent as the man removed a holoprojector and began to fiddle with it. He had to admit the preparation that went into this meeting. Lysardne and those that desired these ships certainly didn't wish to mess around. It was also pleasing that the lines of ships caught their attention, especially being so new into their creation. It was something he didn't wish to disappoint in. If they wanted ships of his creation, he'd make sure they were up to the standards such men expected.
As the projector played and showed the images of ships they selected, Mahal turned to the screen and began working to pull up each and everyone to allow further details to be revealed on the ships. "The Aesir line, huh? Our finest class of ships. While they may not be aesthetically designed like the Mythic line, they are our grandest pieces of work. Each ship works as a specialized piece of work. Just as a balanced ship serves a great purpose, so too does those set to accomplish a single role."
As the ship schematics came up, he began to review them. "The Odin-class is the most powerful ship in our line. Giving up troop and hangar space, we put all our attention into increasing its defenses and armament. On its own, it can handle heavy assaults without the need of back up and deal back more than what it receives. Redundant shield generators work to keep it holding on even under the heaviest of firepower. The Bast-class serves as your balanced ship of the Aesir line, being quick enough to handle making it's away around other ships while having the defenses and firepower to stand against nearly any of its class. Then comes it's little brother, the Somnus-class. Never before have I seen a ship built specifically to hinder ships with ion attacks. But we all know that there comes times when ships and bases need to be disabled, not destroyed. With a full load-out of ion weapons, ships and shields can be brought down much faster as other ships in the fleet keep it safe. The Zaqar-Class Communications Cruiser will keep you ahead of the game with nearly full control of all information on the battlefield, be it what your troops receive or what you hinder your enemies have. If it has to do with communications, sensors, and scanners, this ship can handle it, be it a boon or a hindrance. As for the Nike-class." He then pulled up two separate schematics for the ship. "Which design were you looking at purchasing? This model is capable of both a capital ship role or a starfighter screening vessel."
Though he didn;t go into the details of the starfighters, he brought them up on the screen as well. They were ships that had been around for some time and many knew of their capabilities. All in all, It was a solid fleet set up, built to handle nearly every situation. In the end, the guidelines most organizations had to follow for a fleet designation was limited, so building that perfect, well-balanced fleet was, at times, difficult. “We were planning on buying the starfighter screening variant.” At the same time, two of the commandos, who were carrying silver briefcases, placed the cases atop the table. Not yet opening them, they continued to stand guard of Lysandre. Brushing his hand over the polished exterior of the case, he turned to look at Mahal.“Payment will be made out, either in credits or gold bars, to Hadur Industries.” |

Lysandre leaned towards the hologram projector, before moving his hands to zoom into one of the smaller fast frigates clustered around the ship. It had been hard to tell the sort of model it was earlier due to the sheer scale of the Odin-Class, causing the much smaller frigates to be dwarfed by it, but at this level of zoom, one could very clearly see the extra hangar bay that was characteristic of the starfighter screening variant of the Nike-Class Fast Frigate.“We were planning on buying the starfighter screening variant.” At the same time, two of the commandos, who were carrying silver briefcases, placed the cases atop the table. Not yet opening them, they continued to stand guard of Lysandre. Brushing his hand over the polished exterior of the case, he turned to look at Mahal.“Payment will be made out, either in credits or gold bars, to Hadur Industries.”
Transfering all the gathered info and basic schematics for the ships, such as more detailed armament, special features, troop and hangar capacity, and crew requirements to a datapad for Lysandre. He moved over to his desk as the guards stepped up with the cases. When the option came of credits or gold, Mahal sat back in his chair for a moment, contemplating the option. Never had he been offered gold bars before. It would have been a nice touch to have in his reports. But in the end, credits were the easiest form of currency to deal with. Sitting forward once more, he began bringing up the contract and needed paperwork to make the sale official. "Credits will do fine. So are you looking to pay in full today or wishing to set up payments?"The girls watched as Makhai brought up their ship and the list of modifications they could make to enable them to make full use of it. As he went, he pushed the idea, catching the facts they knew: the capabilities it possessed in speed, weaponry, and defense. This man knew his ships and their abilities. Why wouldn’t he? He was a representative for a shipyard. Of course, he knew. As he set his gaze upon them, trying to gauge them and the true motive behind their reason for changing ships, the girls began to tense up a bit.
Then came that charming smile and the claim that it didn’t matter. Like that, he went on to discuss what ship would suit them. He figured them out quick in what they desired to have, which hopefully made it easier in finding what they were looking for. When the lists came up of different shipyards, Kindra let herself relax a bit in her chair as she crossed her legs and twirled her hair.
"I have to admit, I’m quite curious as to the ships specific to this company. Would you happen to have any that meets our needs?" At this point, she decided they could flirt around with the man well enough and decided to speak in an innocent and lightly seductive voice as the other girls let themselves continue to flirt with their body language and eyes.
When she asked if any ship that met the specifications they sought of their collection, he sat back for a moment as he debated the issue. For these girls, he would have certainly offered up the Javelin, Anais, or the Oasis. However, the problem there was the fact they were merely nice transports. Fast and agile, sure, but none were well-armed or defensible. And just handing them the option of either of the cargo freighters was a bad choice. They wished to carry cargo if need be but didn't need a craft dedicated to the work. For someone like them, it was unsightly. That left a single option.
"Perhaps we do." Running over the keyboard again, Makhai brought up the previous ships he thought of if only to show them, then brought up the Aegis. "It's not quite up to the specs you request, but I did want to point you to these three ships we have. All are transports and quite nice. The Oasis is by far the most luxurious with the Anais then the Javelin following right behind. But the don't have the defensive capabilities or weapon load-outs that you seek. Then there is the Aegis. Much larger than the other option by nearly double, but as you can see, it isn't something someone would take lightly in trying to take it. At one-hundred and ten meters, this bad boy was designed from the Defender-class Corvette the Jedi used in the days of the Old Republic. A more aggressive styling meant for a more justice-seeking and no sit on your hands kind of Jedi. It has solid armor and shielding and its armament consist of five quad laser cannons, one being a turret and two being swivel-mounted. It also carries two missile launchers. Certainly more than what you carry now. Being a class above what you have, everything is better. And unless these hunters are carrying bigger ships, they shouldn't be an issue for you anymore." Bringing up the specifications for the Aegis for all four girls to see, he tilted his head. "It does possess the same problem your last ship did as it requires more people than you have in your group. But if you're not looking to add more to your group, we can add in a droid brain to help manage the system." |

It wasn't long after Kindra wished to know of the ships crafted by Lyncitech that Makhai brought up ships that he felt would fit what they were looking for. As he went on to explain that the first three options were not, in fact, up to the requires, Kindra looked them over anyway just to see what kind of ships were remotely available. First came the Oasis. It certainly looked to be a ship of absolute luxury. It was a reality that the four of them could make serious use of it. While the specifications of the ship suggested a moderate defense, the weaponry was low, as was the speed and agility. Appealing, but not something they needed. Then came Anais. Nicely flowing with its curves, it was a beautiful sight. But where it picked up on speed and definitely agility, it still had low armament and lower defenses than the Oasis. The Javelin, while looking sleek and boosting the higher speed and agility, continued to show a low number on the other necessities. It was a shame, really. All of them were exceedingly wonderful looking ships and would have suited them well. There was always the question of it extra weapons and defensive measures could be added, but that all disappeared with the final ship.
The Aegis was stated to be double the size of the previous ships, turning more of typical transport or freighter into a corvette as the name clearly implied. It didn't have the same sleek design or aesthetically pleasing appearance of the former ships they had seen, but it was rather intimidating. It took away from the blended beauty that would have complimented them but instead complemented their ferocity when pushed too far. After the constant assaults from pirates, that was exactly the kind of message they needed to make. The armament and defenses were average for its class, which made it better than those they typically stood off against. Even the need for a small crew was a bonus outside of still lacking at least one more person to effectively manage the weapons. Fortunately, Makhai seemed to be on top of that in once again suggesting the droid brain.
With that knowledge, Kindra looked to the girls, all giving her a nod of approval. Nodding to them in return, she looked at Makhai.
"I do believe we have a liking for the Aegis. It meets all the requirements we need. The droid brain would be an option we'd go with as well. One question, though. What is the interior like? Is it more built for a military aspect or something more..homey?"

Makhai sipped on his wine a bit more as the girls began reviewing the information in front of them. The minutes passed on in silence. He had expected them to discuss the matter, but nothing came. All there was was a nod from each of them when Kindra turned her attention to them, a decision that had led them to selecting the Aegis. It made them wonder if they were just that well connected that they could understand each other by looks, trusted the dark-haired woman to make the choice alone, or if they were Force-sensitive. Any of the three could have been the answer, but he knew to be cautious if the third option was the reality. Still, so long as he played things right, he suspected he wouldn't have anything to worry about.
"A nice choice. I, myself, take a rather strong sense of pride in the model. I didn't have anything to do with its creation, sadly, but being apart of this company and seeing it created still allows me to possess such pride. As for the interior, it's not necessarily built in a military fashion, but it isn't something homey either. If you ladies are pressed on time, we do have a model ready to go. We'd just need a day or so to install the droid brain. However, if you were wanting a difference in the interior design, we'd need to start over and start with a new build. When it's finished, we can contact you if you wish to head out. Otherwise, you could stay here as our guests until it finished. ur facilities are built to accommodate visitors who are unable to leave. One never knows when a ship needs serious repair or just makes it into our hangar before dying completely, leaving the pilot with no where to go."

As Makhai went on to explain the interior aspect of the ship, Kindra leaned back, her arms crossing. It wasn't the most appealing, to say the least. She was fine with the more menacing, military look for the exterior, but wanted something nice inside. It seemed to be a possible stopping point, especially when he made mention of one already being ready to go and would only need a couple of days for the final touches. But he didn't stop there, stating that if they were willing to wait for a new ship to be made, they could have the accommodations they sought. It was this truth that sealed the deal, causing Kindra to sit up. It would also give them time to figure out their next steps without worry that they'd be attacked again.
"I do believe we will go with the latter option and have a new vessel built. We thank you immensely for the hospitality in allowing us to stay. It certainly eases our minds knowing we can rest and figure things out without the worry of being assaulted every few days."

When Kindra made the choice to have a new ship made, Makhai began opening up a new page, one dedicated to the creation of customized vessel outside of the typical schematics. He began entering the information he knew to remain the same. The components, systems, engines, hyperdrive, armor, shielding, and weapons all remained the same with the new addition of the droid brain. All that was left was filling out the information for how the interior would be designed. And so the next hour went by, discussing what the girls desired and for the first time, hearing what each of the girls sounded like as they started discussing options.
In time, the order was put through in its entirety and sent on to the teams on the Pantheon station to begin work. It would take a couple of months, but they'd have a vessel dedicated to their wants and needs, a service Hadur Industries was happy to provide. They then went on to discuss the payment of the ship. By turning in their old ship, a third of the price had been handled as a trade-in. The rest was then paid upfront in credits, something that surprised Makhai a bit, but something he got over quickly. In their business, they never concerned themselves with the question of who the people they were dealing with were or how they got their money so long as it was good and they were paid. And with full payment before construction began typically put them higher on the list than most. Makhai even made the choice to oversee the project personally to ensure it was up to par.
When everything was all said and done, he stood from his seat and made his way to the door.
"Allow me to show you, girls, where you'll be staying." He then took them down the hall, making a few turns as they pressed deeper into the central station. Taking a lift up a couple of floors, they arrived at the guest floor. Choosing a specific room, he opened it to let them inside. It was a fairly good-sized room housing four beds. While he doubted they'd receive an influx of visitors, he wanted to keep the rooms open, guessing they'd have no problem sleeping in the same area. It was also big enough that it had a small living area with computer and holoscreen for watching whatever they wished. "I'll send word to the teams to leave your ship be for the next day to allow you girls to get everything you need from the ship and brought here. But please, do be quick. I wouldn't want any of you to lose any of your valuables in our team's eagerness to get the ship moved, repaired, and ready for resale." He then gave th girls a bow. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. You can access my frequency from the computer. Please, enjoy your stay." With a final nod, he departed to begin overseeing the start of their ship.

Lysandre nodded, before ordering one of the guards who had brought the cases to pick it back up. The guard obliged, lifting the case and holding it by his side. Slinging his DC-15 across his back, he pulled out his DC-17 pistol while holding the case. Lysandre then typed a code into a small keypad on the case, causing a pneumatic hiss, and the clicking of latches, followed by a small pop as the lid disengaged. Opening the case fully, he opened a holographic screen, before keying in a passcode into the system, authorising the transfer of a fourth of the owed sum to the accounts of Hadur Industries, before pulling five-hundred credits out of the case, and sliding them towards Mahal.“You will find a quarter of the funds required transferred to the accounts of Hadur Industries; the rest will be sent to you upon fulfilment of the order. In addition, I’d like to offer you this sum as a gesture of good faith towards your company, for providing a smooth, efficient, and above all, private service for our planet. It will not be forgotten.”

Mahal watched as the case was lifted and the passcode inputted so it could be opened. A lot of caution went into this meeting, making him wonder if every exchange with the man was the same. True enough that an attack could be placed upon them at any time, but Mahal had learned quickly to just roll with it and find new ways of being protected that didn't require an entourage that kept you from truly enjoying life, for it was too short and unpredictable to just be guarded all the time.
As the process in which payment would be made came up, Mahal leaned forward and took the credits placed upon his desk. "Acceptable terms. And the gesture is most appreciated. I will have the entirety of Kami station focused upon the creation of your fleet along with taking extra hands from Vanir station to aid in getting it constructed in an efficient and timely manner. I will personally keep you updated on its progress." Standing to his feet, he circled the desk to stand before the man once more and is holding out his hand again. "It has most certainly been a pleasure doing business with you. If there is anything you need, any changes you wish made to your order, or even if you have a special design made that we don't have available here, you need only ask and we'll take care of it. It is our aim to please those that walk through our doors."

Lysandre closed the holoscreen, before locking the briefcase shut once again and handing it off to his guard. Turning back to Mahal, he smiled, extending out a gloved hand to shake his. While common courtesy dictated he do this, to be frank this exchange had been quite pleasant, compared to the exchanges he had with Mon Cal shipyards, which had recently gone dark for some reason.
"Agreed it has been a pleasure indeed. If we are in need of work of this sort, or any other pertaining to ship design, construction, or other related fields, we will know where to turn."
Shaking Mahal's hand, Lysandre finished whatever little wine was left in his glass, before stepping back into the elevator with his guards, a smirk crossing his face. This had been a productive meeting indeed, and Alderaan finally had naval forces worthy of defending it...

Mahal walked with Lyandre and his escort out into the hall and to the turbolift to see them off. It was the final sign of respect he could offer the man at the moment, making it seem that his presence was worthy of the time and effort for others and not just some other customer that would be dismissed once business was concluded. The moment the doors shut, Mahal made his way back to the office, fingers moving quickly over the keyboard as he took his seat. The order had already been sent through, but now came the priority note that the development team would immediately be alerted to regarding the order. In the message, he made sure Kami station put all attention into working on this fleet. Other orders were sent to Vanir station for a third of the workers to be transferred over to Kami station to aid in the project. Any ships currently in development at Kami were nothing more than ships for the open market to buy and had no priority upon them. Thus, they were instructed to have the ships moved from the docking bays if needed and locked down near the station. Building at Vanir station was in the same boat, the ships being created just being regular options for the open market. Since nothing of this fleet was being built there and workers still remained, production would continue, albeit at a slower pace.
Once the messages were sent, Mahal looked through recent reports, noticing the arrival of another ship. Looking over the ship exchange and video feed, he saw the crew of four ladies being handled by Makhai. This prompted Mahal to smirk. He knew the young man would have been on top of the situation in any case, but knowing that the new buyers were beautiful women, there was no doubt extra work would be put into making a sale. Makhai was a capable and charming man, his charisma being just one of many reasons Mahal chose him. Looking over the recent records showed the order for a new Aegis to be crafted with special orders and a room being rented out. Closing down his computer, the man shook his head. Undoubtedly, the young man would attempt to woo one or all of them before their departure upon completion. And so long as it didn't affect his performance, Makhai was free to do as he chose.
Standing from his seat, he returned to the bar to fill his glass once more and went to gaze out of the large window that revealed the world and sky before him.

With the orders placed through, construction began upon the Aldreaanian Fleet at Kami station. Already were teams being brought in from Vanir station within the hour as Kami teams began cleaning up and moving the unfinished ships to open locations at Vanir and Pantheon stations. It was a rather slow process as extra teams were diverted to move the vessels so that as each spot became available, work could begin. Within the day, everything had been started and was underway.
In Pantheon station, the new Aegis for the girls found its start. Being built within the hangar made things a bit easier on the team as all they could get was put on the new project. Crews reviewed the plans and the few changes that were being made for the interior before getting started, making sure they captured all updates that were to be made. Within the hour, the required equipment and parts were being brought in as the first pieces of the ship began coming together.

The weeks passed on as the crews continue their work. Bit by bit, the recent orders began to show signs of progress.
Much of the workers that had homes on the surface opted to stay on board in the guest rooms as they worked around the clock on rotating shifts when working on the Alderaanian fleet. They took pride in their work and the promise of delivering quality products in a timely manner. Mahal was always good with providing and tending to his employees, something that made them willing to go above and beyond to succeed in their task. Those with families on Fresia that chose to stay were given set days to be off for the fleet's build to ensure everyone had their breaks and didn't burn out. Already the framework of all the ships was coming along with the smaller Nike-class ships having full frames already made up with the next stages beginning. Progression on the fighter compliment was also going smoothly.
Crews worked in two-shift rotations, leaving the Aegis waiting for some time each day before beginning again. But after a few weeks, the frame had come together as the outer shell began falling into place. Elsewhere, inner components were already being prepped and brought over so that once everything was ready, they could begin assembling the interior. Makhai often came around, checking on progress and offering up any help he could to aid the teams, not only because he valued his job and the products they made, but also to impress the women he took the time to interact with. It was nice company to have, even if the time would be short.

Weeks turned to months as work continued on the current order of ships.
A quarter of the Nike-class ships had been finished as the frames of the larger vessels had finally been finished and had already begun working on the hull. Over half the starfighters had been completed and were in the testing phase. Aside from a few hiccups and injuries, all was moving according to plan.
With the aid and insistence of Makhai, production continued to move smoothly as the majority of tgevship had been finished. The final bit of the hulk were falling into place as teams prepped to begin dropping in the weapon emplacements. Interior work had already begun as technicians and engineers worked to run the systems, setup the droid brain, and start shaping the more luxurious interior.

With the passing months, the order placed by Lysandre was coming along nicely. The requested starfighters had been finished and tested with all kinks sorted out and ready for deployment. The Nike-class ships had also been finished and were going through the final testing with the Zaqar being in the final bits of its own work. The two Somnus-class ships were reaching the last quarter of their work load and the Bast-class being just a little ways behind. When it came to the Odin, that was another matter. With its size being so large in comparision to the next largest vessel, it was a bit further behind, being just shy of half done. However, production began to pick up as crews that were assigned to the finished ships were directed to begin workibg on the Odin. With each ships completion, more was able to be achieved on the massive powerhouse.
With all the final details sorted out, all had been finished and tested on the new Aegis. Makhai made many expections, looking over everything multiple times and in great detail for the four ladies. He had enjoyed thier company, the talks and dinners. In the end, that was as far as anything progressed, but it had livened things up for a short time. But with the ship finished, it was time to send them on thier way.
Leading the girls into the hangar, he held out his hand to the new ship.
"Here it is, ladiex. Your new ship. A finely crafted vehicle of Hadur Industries ready to take to the skies and carry you on your way. Only one final thing remains: a name for the ship. A technician is standing by to input its registration."

The girls followed Makhai out into the hangar bay, witnessing the sight of the thier new ship for the first time. It certainly didn't lack an intimidating feature. The girls smiled, knowing they'd necer have to worry about unwanted guests again. Not that it really mattered now.
During the few month stay, the four had discussed what they'd do once they could leave. While the consensus was divided at first, it wasn't long before they agreed they were tird of just flying around. They needed to find a place to settle. More talking came about before electing to find an order they could join and after some searching, they felt the Knights of Karabor was the best option.
When asked about the ship name, Kindra could only smirk
"We've decided to call her, Sol Kyber."

As the Kindra gave the name, Makhai forwarded it to the technician with a smirk. It was rathr fitting consindering what he had come to learn about them. It was but a minute before getting cerification that all was set. Giving a nod, he looked to them
"It's done. She's all yours now. Safe travels." He waited there, watching until the moment the ship disappeared from sight before returning to his work.

No other words were spoken as the girls loaded up into the ship with all their belongings. It was several minutes of just looking the ship over and discussing room before heading to the cockpit. Taking up their seats similar to how they did in their previous ship, it wasn't long until the systems were powered up and they were heading out of the hangar.
Wasting no time, the ship pulled away from the yards, jumping to hyperspace the first moment they could for their next destination.

With all the passing months, worked continued hard, each team that finished their jobs moving to the next so to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible. And now it had been finished. With the final tests done, the green light was given from the teams that the new ships was completed. Upon getting the report, Mahal sent out a message to Lysandre Beauveu-Panteer informing him of the fleet’s completion.

The hypnotic swirls of hyperspace came to a halt as the Idyll floated in orbit, revealing the bluish planet of Fresia below. Mira muted an excited squeal and immediately started flipping a few toggles. Aimee sat there in awed silence, her eyes glancing all around. A lot had changed since the last time the girls had visited Fresia. In particular, new shipyards that dominated the area around Fresia. It only furthered Mira’s excitement and Aimee’s concern.
Without wasting any more time gawking, Mira reached for the commlink to patched through a transmission through the agreed channels. :: This is Skaibyrd to Sato. We have reached Fresia and are waiting on your security clearance. Do you copy? ::
As Mira opened the line for a response, Bee let out a few snippy beeps and hums.
Both girls spun around in a synchronized, mirrored motion, glaring narrowly yet playfully back at the black and gold astromech unit. Mira, though, was always quicker to the punch than her partner-in-crime, especially when it came to teasing the poor thing.
"I was going to invite you along for once, but if you’re going to be like that, Bee, you can stay behind."
If that was supposed to upset Bee in some way, it didn’t work. After more animated chattering in binary, Bee released his scomp link from its port and rolled off down the bridge without looking back. This time, though, it was Mira who remained otherwise silent, pouting as she crossed her arms over her chest, which left Aimee to be the peacemaker between the two.
Aww, Bee, you can come with me! Please come back…!
"Don’t encourage that kind of behavior from him," Mira whispered, before yelling back out to the retreating droid. "We can land the ship without your help, you know. We’re not incompetent!"
Without even a beat for a breath, Aimee muttered worriedly under her breath, "Not like we can land it without that clearance, though…"
"We’ll get it." Mira smiled reassuringly to the Twi’lek, before swirling herself back around to look back over the planet. "Just wait a minute longer."
Aimee nodded her head slowly as she less-enthusiastically did the same. Although she seemed a bit unnerved at the idea of floating around like this with such activity bustling around them. At least, it wasn’t like this was one of their less-than-honest jobs, but the less confrontation from outside parties, the better settled Aimee would be. At least Mira revelled in such unexpectancies, but for Aimee, she wished for once they would have just a smooth, easy job.
But with little other option at the moment and with one less crew member, the two girls waited.

The Zeltron and Twi’lek would have sat in silence for another few moments, although if they were that eager to get their hands on his security clearance, it very well might have felt like hours of dreaded hanging in orbit instead. Nevertheless, a private transmission did come in, patching through to the YT-2400’s communication system.
:: This is Sato to Skaibyrd, :: rang the transmission, Gromm Sato's voice a blend of charismatic formality. :: As we speak, I’m patching through my clearance for your ship to orbital control. You’ll be receiving coordinates and instructions to land shortly. See you lovely ladies planet-side. ::
Within the minute of his transmission ending, those promised instructions and coordinates were uploaded to the girl’s ship, which would lead them to Incom’s Headquarters, located on the Coromon Islands. There, Gromm Sato would be waiting expectantly for them already within the hanger. Remembering the girls’ personalities from the last job -- especially Mira’s -- there was enough evidence to support that they would again scream into orbit and risk a crash landing the moment they had the clearance...
