[i]Asteroid Field, half a lightyear from the planet Mandalore[/i]

Canderouse Lok gazed through the viewport at the countless asteroids before him.
Around him, dozens of bridge officers worked to get the massive Dreadnought docked with the mining station.

The clan Lok had recentlt expanded their mining operations to these asteroids, digging up varies minerals as well as crystallized fuel to be converted into financially beneficial goods.

The Kandosii-type II dreadnought moved slowly, aligning it's portside airlock with the station and latching on with a clunk.

It was a risky move coming out here, it was unclear what the Paladin's stance towards House Lok and it's allies was.
They risked being attacked by Grand Republic forces or a number of ither things.

But the wealth they could gain... It would keep the clans running for months.

"Mand'alore, we've docked."

Reported one of the bridge officers.

Canderouse nodded in response and marched towards the airlock.

There were large doonium and Duranium deposits in these asteroids, enough to build a fleet.
If all went according to plan, the True Mandalorians would soon find themselves in possession of the most powerful force in the sector.

Canderouse marched into the mining base, glancing at his 360° HUD display.

Workers, both Mandalorian and foreigner, scurried here and there unloading equipment and storing it on the base.

"Mand'alore! It's good to see you!"

Canderouse turned to find a shorter man in Green and Silver armor standing before him.
Arko Bralor, chief engineer of the True Mandalorians and member of the MandalMotors board.

"Reports just came through from the top, sir. You're going to like this."

"Show me."

The Engineer produced a datapad.

"The Board of Officials has agreed to make anything you throw at them, provided you can present blueprints and a drydock capable of making them."

Arko reported.

Mand'alore smiled.

"That won't be a problem for long, ner vod. Send surveyors to the Fenelar system."

"Sir?"

"The docks there will suite your needs."

"Alore, those docks fell into ruin hundreds of years ago..."

Arko replied, confused.

"They did. But you'll find them to be fully operational now. Consider it... A gift to the good workers of MandalMotors and Hypernaughtics. Use it as you see fit."

The look on Arko's face was enough to cause a smile to form beneath the Mand'alore's helmet.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a mining operation to oversee."

And with that, Canderouse walked deeper into the compound.
