  1. With business rather slowly lately, Drake decided to look over potential plans of updates on the station. Soon he had a plan to put some excitement back into the atmosphere.
  2. From space, four large vessels come cruising down towards the surface of the planet. Onboard the lead vessel, the captain looks over maps and read-outs of the surface below. The building site was clearly marked by a red circle, while detailed schematics of the future based slowly rotated in the back screens. In time, the convoy of four settled down planet side, near the building site. From the cargo bays of the vessels, an entire collection of building machines and personel came pouring out, starting the construction of the future base.... Edited several days later.......... Over the course of a few short days, the base had made alot of progress in its construction. Rising from foundation into metal framework, the major support structures of the base were now in place. From there all the bases piping, wiring, lighting, and what not were begining to form. Elsewhere, defenses were being placed into retractable shelters and wired up for use. In orbit, three golan defense platforms were brought in. It would be several days before the platforms would be operational, until then things continued to progress....
  3. Drake shook his head, "That shall be all. Your base will be under construction by the end of the week. Until then, have a safe trip to your next destination." With that Drake politely excused himself from the office. Reports were flooding in about chaos on Coruscant. As far as he could tell, the rebels had begun their liberation. All this ment one thing, reconstruction would be needed....
  4. "Our R&D Department has a few new 'toys' that may be just what you need. I'll get the resources together and start on the base. Is there anything else you require? From a base, or otherwise?" Drake asked....
  5. Taking note of her requests, Drake typed up a message for his head at the Solaris Construction and Design. As well, a mission was put into the works to scout out the future base site. The boys down at design would use the information to make the best use of the land. "The process has already begun. What type of defenses were you wishing for?" Drake asked....
  6. "I can assure you that anything you wish to remain secret will be kept in that state alone. That is a golden rule of mine." Drake stated. With a push of a button, a thin display slowly rose out of the desk. While he spoke, Drake looked over the latest in Solaris Construction and Design. "So what would you like in a base?" He asked....
  7. The offical lead Induran to the top tower in the middle of Pacalis City. There, before the giant doors of Drake's office, the secretary smiled at her, "Director Vortex has been informed of your arrival. He welcomes you to the Gateway. I'm afraid however he is currently in a meeting and won't be out for some..." Cutting her off, Drake Vortex exited the turbolift from the far wall and smiled, "Thank you Ms. Bettenson, I cut the meeting early." He declared as he walked over to Induran. With a firm hand shake to start things off, he led her into his office. "So, what is it that Solaris Enterprises can do for you?"
  8. An other comm also arrived, a bit late due to a couple OOC unfortunate events, but still arriving none the less. Dear I.H., This is Drake Vortex, CEO of Solaris Enterprises. We here at S.E. would be glad to take your request. Currently our R&D department has just finished some new technologies in the areas of base construction and defense. As well, considering your history, you qualify for our "get a base" free card in our relief program. Should you accept this offer, then I will be happy to meet with you in person to discuss each and every one of your needs.... Drake Vortex
  9. Drake thought for a moment, "I may be able to help. Land on the Gateway and we can meet in person...."
  10. The newly created droid was delivered to Jango, the man escorting the droid smiled, "Three things to make people loyal: A good smile, an honest face, and lots of money. Enjoy" Meanwhile Drake was in his office when the comm came in, "This is Drake, what can I do for you Mr. Alazhi?"
  11. Taking the extended hand, Drake shook it firmly, "My dear, you can count on the fact that we will meet again. The docks of the Gateway are always open to a friend. Good luck with your journey, and don't dip into the cocktail bar all in one night." He said with a wink. With a nodd Drake stepped out the bay to continue along his business....
  12. Running his hand along the polished hull, Drake looked to Eli, "Well your observation was right, there is no name on the hull. The boys down at Transtech called it Prototype 41X-J. I figured you would probably have a better name for it...."
  13. He smiled back, "Well you probably are right, I am a questionable kind of guy. Actually though my brother is a Jedi, Tares Vortex. The good gene kind of runs in the family, most of the time...."
  14. A laugh ran out as Drake leaned against the view port, "Who said you are borrowing this? It's yours to keep if you want. She is a Luxury 5500, one of the older additions. The guys down at Solaris TransTech have been using it as a prototype for some new systems. Now that they are done, she is just sitting around...."
  15. At the hanger bay Eli landed her ship at, Drake smiled with an open hand, "So you are the young jedi Calen told me about. Nice to meet you, I'm Drake." Leading her out of the hanger, they proceed to a larger dock where a star yatch lay anchored, "I hope this will meet your needs. It has all the luxury items found in yatchs, I found this one just lying around...."
  16. Drake laughed, "The location of The Gateway is a simple matter. This system has always been my home. Regardless of who controls it, it's home to me and thus home to the Gateway." Standing up he finished his drink, "I've made it a policy to get paid once the work is done. You can wire the payment once all your needs are met. Until we meet again good Captain." With a nod he headed out....
  17. Drake smiled, "If you know that I was once apart of the Rebellion, then you should realize this: a man's views of a subject rarely change. My perspective on the Empire hardly has changed. Yet, my perspective on business hasn't either: business is business." Taking a sip of his drink, Drake finished, "My construction facilities for the Solaris Transportation Tech is currently in the process of construction a few ships for an other employer of mine. It shouldn't be a problem though, I can have your order at your door step with in a couple weeks...."
  18. With the raise of an eyebrow, Drake laughed, "Yes, I can see that. Let me review these papers and I'll see where I can put in my corporation." He said. With that he made his way down to the local bar where he found the good Captian Phillep. Taking the man's hand he shook it, "Forgive the delay. I had some business to take care of." He ordered his drink, then sat down, "So, what can an honest man do for the Empire?"
  19. OOC: Sorry Phillep, I'll get to you soon IC: Drake smiled, "Really, and what kind of job might you be looking for in my corperation?"
  20. At the Vortex Estate located in Coronet, a message was sent from the Gateway along with a program. From there it sat in the database until programed to execute.
  21. Drake laughed, "Well, I'm sorry our experiences have been different. What it comes down to is this: should the hutts attack they will regret it. Now that we are clear on where we stand, let us begin. I will pool my resources together and get a design worked for the hq while I send in your requests for the new ships. In the meantime, you are welcome to all that the Gateway has to offer." Standing up Drake brushed himself off then looked to the others then back to Piccolo, "Construction will begin shortly. If you excuse me, I've kept an other visitor waiting." With that he made his way outside towards Tea'dora. With a smile, the ex-smuggler said, "Hello, the name's Drake. How can I help you?"
  22. Drake merely nodded, "The location of the yards is classified information to all those save for the workers that work there, and my trust advisors. Do realize that I'm not helping you out because we are friends or allies. I'm satisfying this order of yours because that's the purpose of my company. Should the Gateway or any properity of Solaris Enterprises come under attack, I won't hesitate to call for the Empire to help maintain order...."
  23. Drake remained staring at Piccolo as he spoke. Knowing very well of the Black Sun's defeat, the news wasn't new to him. However, the fact that Piccolo was coming to him for assistance was news to him. Before he could speak, the comm chimed, "Director Vortex, sorry to disturb you. You have a visitor waiting outside your office." "Give the visitor my apoligizes for making them wait, I will be with them once I am done." Drake stated, then returned his attention to Piccolo, "The company that built the Gateway is one I founded with my brother awhile back. Recently we have merged with a few other companies to form Solaris Enterprises. It has always been my goal to keep the company multipurpose and open to all costumers regardless of their current position with in the galactic arena." "I can help. I will contact my managers in Solaris CT (Construction Technologies) and Solaris TT (Transportation Technologies). I'm sure we can draw up some design plans for the new citadel and defenses, then get the thing started on construction. As for your fleet, the Gateway incorperates well over a hundred docks able to fit a star destroyer each. We can help with repairs as well as construction. However, our ship yards are located a ways away from here. It may take some time to get the ships built and delivered." As he spoke, a receptionist outside approached Tea'dora, "Mr. Vortex will be able to see you once he is finished with his current guests. In the meantime, may I offer you anything to eat or drink?"
  24. Sitting in his private office, Drake read up on the information about the station's newest arrivals. Unfortunately, he had a limited amount of time before the arrivals were at his door. Standing up, the ex-smuggler opened the door and smiled. With an extended hand he greeted them, "Welcome. I must say when I heard the Howling Runner was approaching, I could hardly believe it. Please come down and sit." Passing out refreshments to Piccolo and his companions, he took a seat behind his desk, "What can I do for you?"
  25. In the Command Center, flight controls picked up the star destroyer and support craft on sensors. Determining the ships were clear, they instructed the ship to land. Starship Howling Runner, this is Gateway Control. You are clear to land in docking bay 9A061. From there head into the concourse and proceed to level 56 of the Central Plaza. Director Vortex will meet you there. Gateway Control out. With that the hanger was prepared for the arriving ship....
