Bab 7: Chapter 7

It's finally time. The base is almost fully operational .The extra ships are being built , while all the fighters for us are complete, the droid version of the fang fighter( meaning has advance droid brains and can fly the star fighter when a pilot is not present) are being churned out and the hangars on the cliff sides were being filled. I have left the droids, designs and orders to carry on base maintenance and improvement on their own. They will first turn the plateau into a fortress and then the planet, then the system and then move on to neighboring systems in the unknown regions one at a time. While I travel outside. While I can't reach the level of certain progenitor Von Neuman death bots, but with the deployment of legions of droids I can atleast make up a quarter of their capabilities. I also have scout ships searching for the star forge, I have a rough estimation , but the rest is up to luck. After scouring through the old databases here, I learnt this planet has quite a few resource mines and there was detailed scan data of nearby systems and resource rich zones as well, I task the droids to use the mining equipment that was brought in and the ones in the large garages near the two exits to start the mining process. This will provide much needed metal reserves for the base and the excess can be used to carry out the different phases of my plans. We had also gotten the droid foundries started up and making droids of all types, including my own droidikas and modified B1 battle droids, but one section each is fully dedicated to sky trooper droids and 19STs. All new droids will have a shield generators of varying strengths. I had atleast 5 regiments of already existing sky trooper droids from the storages repaired, rearmed and modified (gave them the Mandalorians touch, Cortosis coated armor, hidden blade, flame throwers, personal shields), they will play the role of my elite shock troopers, my own 501st. They were also given a the same colour scheme all my droids will have black with more prominent green accents. While the special ones, the two regiments of ZEM-19ST droids, who will act like my commando droids and personal guard, got something special. A wrist mounted minicomputer to hack the Kriff out of things, stealth technology, Cortosis blades and add to this all the improvements the shock trooper variation got. If the skytroopers where uploaded with Mandalorian super commando combat circuits, then the 19STs also got different the Jedi blade forms combat circuits as well, that cost me a pretty chunk credit to get. They got the same Black and green accented colour scheme, but they had more prominent golden accents running all over their chassis. No way Am I having my ninja bots go about without stealth tech and unable to hold off space wizards in combat. I even gave special attention to a particular 19ST droid which was to be in charge of the rest, I named him ZEM. I gave him more golden accents in his color scheme than the others to make him stand out, but made sure that he doesn't stick out too much like a sore thumb. The ordinary skytrooper droids were uploaded with Mandalorian shock trooper combat matrix along with many other functions as well, making each droid satisfactorily self-sufficient and are able to fill multiple roles. Although each droid had a broad spectrum of combat and operational skills, each squad of my droids had individual droids playing the specialized roles of squad lead, assault, sniper, heavy , engineer and medic( for when they work with organics in the future). Now all I had to do was wait for the squad to arrive tomorrow with the new shipment of goods, this time mainly heavy weaponry, planetary level shields and power generators. Never a bad idea to have too many backup generators or shields to cycle between, I don't want my base to end up like the rebel's Hoth base. I am all jittery. can't wait to show the guys the new toys. Now I know how Q felt showing of all the new tows to James Bond. While speaking of Bond, there is no 007 without his rides. The vehicle factories were all repaired, upgraded and pumping out new designs I came up with. The first type of tank I named the Tarantula. It was a spider tank. It came in both heavy and light tank variants( Tarantula-L & Tarantula-H respectively) and an Anti-air variant ( Tarantula-A) which can also be used for anti-personal applications like any good AAA should .(https://www.rpnation.com/gallery/tarantula.30562/).
