Interestingly enough as Arcutrus was walking through the streets of the Stafort of Ramiel-Class Lycurgos, he noticed that everything was giving some weird feeling, especially in the architecture that the entire place was designed.
The Gothic architecture was brought directly to the space-faring era, creating a rather unique view of the culture of the Asuryani. It was still very beautiful in its own sense, though at the same time, it had a rather gloomy vibe for more positive-thinking people.
But the Asuryans they didn't really care because everything was decorated in the national symbols of the Imperium, which was naturally dragon.
And for the note, apparently, dragons really existed here, though they were not fantasy creatures as literature was depicting them, but rather very powerful Space Beasts.
Aside from that, another thing that surprised him was the cleanliness of the entire place, which was mainly due to two factors. From brief observations, he noticed that people were not making any mess or creating garbage.
The second thing was probably tens of Droids that looked like thick disk-shaped things that were moving across the streets and maintaining the cleanliness of the place for the entire time.
While the district where he was right now, was enormous, it there were not many people due to its nature. Most of the people that were on the Starfort were soldiers from the Imperial Military and its branches, so most of them didn't have the luxury going to the trading district of the Starfort.
Though he could see a few of the Asuryani here and there, most of them were defined by their physical traits, especially their height, the almost perfect ethereal appearance of beauty and muscular physique.
That was only natural, considering the fact that the entire species was basically genetically engineered from scratch. As he read, while, they may be descended from the humans of Earth, in fact, there was already very little common they had with them.
Mostly due to the extensive genetical modifications that the Asuryani embarked on.
The Asuryani people were genecrafted to the utmost perfection with their advanced genetic technology that was considered to be the most advanced in both the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way Galaxy.
It didn't take him long to arrive at the local branch of the Starlight Drive Yard Industries, which was located not very far from the branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild. Contrary to the almost empty Bounty Hunter Guild, the branch of the Starlight Drive Yard Industries was full of people.
Arcturus saw there a lot of Imperial Officers that were buying supplies for their units or even civilians buying and ordering this or even representatives of the other Companies doing business.
He then waited in the line, was soon enough greeted by the receptionist, who was a young blonde-haired woman with clear azure eyes.
"Welcome to the Starlight Drive Yard Industries; what can we offer to you, Sir?"
She said with a pleasant voice, as he quickly thought of what he needed. In fact, there were many and many things that he needed to buy for the Obscurus, as his spaceship was largely incomplete from the start.
As unfortunate as it was, he didn't have enough time to finish the spaceship when he was still playing the Star Citizen Online. This was partially the result of his megalomania because, as his first ship, he wanted to create an enormous Capital Ship, and of the Juggernaut-Class at that.
It required a tremendous amount of sources, in fact, something that could be gathered through a very long time playing the game or investing a lot of money, real cash into the game. He did both on the lower end, and he still managed to construct the ship to an excellent degree.
Right now, his greatest advantage was his freedom, so as long as he had enough Construction Droids, he could give control over them to his A.I., which would do the rest of the job.
"I have some cargo to sell and droids to buy."
He was already imagining how much Universal Credits he would spend here, but there was nothing he could do about it. Unless he constructed a small factory within the Obscurus for Alice to manufacture things or have Alice hack the Galactic Markets...
The last one was naturally said as a joke only because hacking the Market was impossible or even the Banks, because they were protected by the most advanced Artificial Intelligences and Cybernetic Defenses in existence.
"I see... wait for a moment and head toward the VIP Lodge Number 1."
Hearing that, Arcturus did as the receptionist said and went to the VIP Lodge Number 1 to wait for someone of higher status within the Starlight Drive Yard Industries to talk with him.
He knew that due to his Highborne status, he would receive preferential treatment from the any of the state-owned or state-backed corporations of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya, so he naturally waited within the place.
The entire VIP Lodge looked much better compared to the rest of the place, mainly because it was far more luxurious and radiated opulence and luxury. This was probably because it was also used to receive foreign guests and dignitaries.
So, for the sake of appearances, they needed to put this up, despite their utiliziatrain and simplistic approach to everything that wasn't meant for propagandistic purposes. He waited in the VIP Lodge Number 1 for more than ten minutes while serving himself some coffee and lying on the couch.
In the end, he wasn't hurrying anywhere, so he had time to enjoy the hospitality in the place.
After an additional five minutes, the doors opened, revealing an elderly-looking man with whitish hair and shining azure eyes, signifying his heritage as the Highborne Asuryani specimen.
"Sorry for the wait; there were some serious matters with the local Military Garrisons. Welcome to the Lycurgos Branch of the Starlight Drive Yard Industries; I am the Branch Manager of this Branch, Karleon Alvix."
In truth, Arcturus was surprised to see another of the Asuryani Highborne present.
