The Starfire/ShadowDragon landed really weakly into J's hidden spaceport. It cost him 70% of his families fortune to build the hanger and all of the supplies to run it. his hopes were to oneday build his spaceport large enought to make the planet's first full open Spaceport. With it, he could open the first Smuggler's port, and build up his fleet of ships. But now its limited to his ships and a few really needy people. Like ship problem needy.
the ship landed in the Hanger ( currently can hold up to 15 star fighters (scout bomber and attack, 7 freighters/transports, 5 cruisers, 2 frigates, and 1 capital ship.) J's handmade astromechs came out to run a systems check. J decided to work on his scout fighter. (any ship mentioned is in the hangers being built, so I dont have them, they just take up space.)
Hours later, with J finishing work, the diagnosis came in. "shield engine, was outdated, causing a power leak, leaving the ship open for attack. Shield engine at 0%. Hyperdrive engine 100% Main sytems engine 85%, hull damage, 44%.
Cost of full repair, 1,308,927$
" D***, that's gonna put me behind a lot, but at least, that leaves me time to work on my ships/hanger. As he said that, and alert went off. "Incoming freighter. name,Rose-Root. Crew, Unknown. Hostile, Unknown.
"Let them land" J told the droid.

Sal set the Rose-Root down in the hidden spaceport and grabbed his blaster. He wasn't stupid, and even if this guy was a smuggler, he wasn't taking any chances. " Maa-Roke, come with me." He called to the Cainair.
[blue] Maa-Roke followed Sal through the Hatch, and looked up in shock. It was a mini fleet. He hoisted his Cainairian assualt rifle up and followed Sal.[/blue]

One of J's Astromechs met the strange people. It wasnt stylish, just some parts and pieces put together to form it. "Master J is busy at the moment, but if your ship is in need of repair or you need anything done, let me know now." The astromech waited for a responce
OOC- I am trying to send a paing image to your PM chris, so bare with me.

Sal looked at The astromech and pushed past it. He walked through the spaceport until he found J. he held his blaster in his hand, and smiled." I don't like being greeted by Droids." He said. " And if you didn't want visitors, don't give my partner corrdinates to your place."

" Sorry for the droids, but, there were some people that were coming a little too close to the port." J offered Sal a seat. "Care for a drink?"
" Now about the coordinates, I have a proposition for you, but I need to be sure that you guys aren't Kingdom."

Sal grinned. " The day I join the Kingdom is the day the rebles win the war. I hate the kingdom." Sal said as he holstered his blaster. He glance at Maa-Roke and motioned for him to stand down. " Now what did you want?"

" It's what most smugglers want, and that is to be sucessful, but the Kingdom make this difficult, and the Rebels don't help the situation too much either."
" Now, this place planet is out of way, and my proposition to you is, to help me build the smuggler's port, or rather this port, to a greater length. The Galaxies first smuggler port. This would become a safe Haven for smuggers such as yourselves."
" Think about it, not bounty hunter's trying to kill you on this planet, no Kingdom to board you ship while its docked, No Rebels to doublecross us as we deal with them. We simply port here, rest here, and to our jobs. It's as simple as that."
" The problem is that it's not big enough yet, and its defenses are weak at the moment, so the dream is lost." J looked turned away from Sal. " I ask that you help me get the parts, money ships, etc. to raise this port to its fullest, In return, I can give you a private docking bay, yet close enough to where you can still retreave bills from the cantina, and all fee's are waived,( with the exception of cost of parts, that cant be ignored)"
J turned back to Sal and held out his hand, " What do you say, Do we have a deal?"

Sal shook his head. " Sorry. I'm a smuggler not for the money, but for the excitement. That's what being a smuggler is about. But I scratch your back, you scratch mine." Sal said, as he glanced around. " I'm trying to get criminal allies. To help out if the Kingdom attacks. Join me, and I'll help fund your.... Spaceport."

" That's what the funds are for my friend, to finish these babies."
J pressed 2 buttons on the keypad, and a 2 giant unfinished, Capital ships appeared on the screen. " I smuggled most of the ship parts, but I could only get so much before I was caught, the rest I have been working on for years. Right now, they require engines, and crew. but eeventually, these ships will be able to crumple any Kingdom fleet there is."
" Thank you for the offer, I accept. Now, I got some more stuff to purchase for more ships, feel free to make port here at any time."

Sal nodded and pulled a credit chip out of his pocket. " Here's ten million. Make it last." He said before heading back to the Rose-Root. He preped for launch and took off out of the hanger. Maa-Roke sat next to him and began to run a hyperspace check.
[blue]" What do you think of him?" Maa-Roke asked as they cleared the planet.[/blue]
" All in good time, my friend." Sal said as he pulled the hyperspace lever back." All in good time." With a flash, the Rose-Root vanished into hyperspace back to it's own base.

J made off to his keyboard making an enlistmant page. " Well, these ships arent gonna pilot themselves." that said to himself, he also began to purchase land and ship equimpment.
Within a week, he had 10,000 pilots. 1 capital ship, 4 frigates, 10 freighters, and 20 squads of bombers, scouts, and fighters. ready.
J began to settle down, "Now we wait for you Sal,"
