Hyper Chamber
As much as Ves liked the thought of building up his own colony and ruling over his own planet, it clashed against his original plan and goals.
His main purpose was to become a Star Designer. Every other ambition had to take a backseat. There was no way he wanted to get shackled to a planet where his enemies could force him to make a stand.
Staying mobile and basing the main element of his clan onto its many starships was the right way to go. If it worked for the Common Fleet Alliance and its vast network of associated spaceborn clans, it would work for the Larkinson Clan as well!
So far, none of Master Goldstein's suggestions sounded all that appealing to Ves. The Master possessed different goals and a different vision on matters. He probably had little understanding of how extensively Ves wanted to maintain a healthy distance from the MTA and other entanglements.
