Mandy Garrison walked down one of the MCV’s many ramps, following the last of the mechs out of the atmospheric containment field that separated the ship’s interior from the oxygen-less atmosphere. The Human tech wore a full body suit of light armor that had an attached pack with enough air to last more than 24 hours.

The soft, wet ground past the ramp was now a mess of mud thanks to the mechs, but she didn’t care. Her armor was completely self-contained so, even as her dark green boots sank into the inch of muddy water and depressed twice that far, she pushed through and began following the mech trail not caring about how dirty she got. None of it would reach her skin, and she’d learned from many past construction missions that the grime was just part of the job. Once they got this site properly conditioned the wildness of it would be replaced with Star Force infrastructure.

Until then, she and the others got to play in the mud.

Mandy was the only Human on the MCV, with the rest of the crew and workers being comprised of Kiritak. Now that the trade route between the Benoid and the ADZ was up and running, a lot of new faces were showing up in the mini empire, herself included. Regular jumpship traffic was moving along the route, with citizens now able to book passage whenever they liked. The trade routes had even moved out past the Benoid now, with the cluster of systems becoming a central hub with four other spurs branching off of it out into the surrounding region, establishing a Star Force presence in the huge tract of stars that was many times the size of the ADZ and beyond their control.

Key to it all was their military, and the Benoid already had a sizeable fleet patrolling its 7 systems, plus a handful of Sentinels in each, but that was just the first few phases of development. Mandy had been sent here with her crew of Kiritak to begin carving out a subsurface military base that would be recovered with forest after construction was complete. Wexfa already had several military bases located on other continents, both made up of Hevmaj and mainline troops, but in order to more firmly secure this world there needed to be other bases, some of which were clandestine.

This project was for one such facility, and while they weren’t going to try and disguise the construction site, most of what they built would be below ground and therefore not visible for others to see. The location of this future base might become public knowledge, but such things often faded with time and the remoteness of this continent, which Star Force intended to keep remote and virtually unpopulated, would make it a different type of challenge for any invading army to overcome.

The more varied a planetary defense plan was, the greater longevity it would allow. Right now the planet was safe, but only with a couple of layers of protection.
