14 Veritara
I docked the Explorer to the PBC and boarded it. It was time to create my very own planet. I entered the deck, where everything was prepared for the next few moments. I then went to a hatch and activated the protocol. A moment later the hatch was sealed and the outside of the PBC was revealed. I pushed off and floated towards the middle of the biggest of the three rings. I had come to understand that the more I push myself, the more I progress in my power. And drifting through space while creating my own planet has to be the hardest I have pushed myself yet.
I looked around space at the stars and nebulae around me. It was a wonderful sight and the idea of what I was going to do ... surreal. Once in the middle of the ring, I took a meditative position, with my legs folded and my eyes closed. I spread my senses as far as possible. Over the millions of years, my senses had continued to expand and it was by far my most powerful Force ability or better, the use of the Force, which I had the most progress in. My passive sense could reach one or two entire planets and if I truly focused on it, I could push that to over a Solar system of distance.
I saw the world in all sorts of the Electromagnetic spectrum. All wavelengths were revealed to me and after getting used to it and having the Force explain it to me, I came to understand what each wavelength of the Force meant. That's right, it was the wavelengths of the Force, I was seeing here. If I had to compare it to something, it would be like seeing a 'Status Page' of a game. I could get almost all information about something or someone using my Force sight. But using it indefinitely, still caused a lot of strain on my mind. If you think this is ridiculous for someone as old as me, then let me make it clear what this is exactly.
It is like seeing everything about everything all the time. Every stone, living being, planet, molecules, atoms, subatomic particles ... everything. At all times. That's how hard it is on the mind. And I don't only see the smallest part, but as far as a Solar System all at once. Yes, it was hard on the mind. It took me centuries just to get used to it on the smallest scales.
.
I entered deep meditation and spread my senses as far as possible. I connected to the Explorer. My trusty ship had finally gained sentience and was always at my side. In the beginning, I had to go find her whenever I reincarnated. This was thankfully, relatively easy, thanks to our bond. But now, after it had gained sentience, it came to me whenever I reincarnated. It was invisible until I was ready to have it revealed. I also made the Explorer into a key which activated the PBC and could move it, should that be necessary. But thanks to his power in the Force, he can move it on his own as well. But it's never bad to have options.
'Open the hatches for the project: Veritara', I say mentally to the Explorer.
'As you say.'
I feel the hatches opening where I have stored all the different samples from planets, including flora and fauna from across the galaxy. Everything was flowing out of the Explorer and into the void of space. But none of them was destroyed. I protected everything with my power, arranged them in an orderly fashion across the rings and had them wait there.
Same as with the Explorer and the PBC, Veritara would be imbued with the Force and my vitality. I don't know what it will become in the end, but its growth potential should be limitless in theory. What it will certainly become, is a Force Nexus and a powerful one at that. So I went to work with the groundwork.
.
I had spread my senses far and wide and using my Force sight, I had gathered all the knowledge that I would need. Then I began. I transmitted my will to the Force and together we started to follow my plan. I telekinetically began to gather material from across the galaxy. Everywhere my senses reached, I began to disassemble planets, moons and even entire suns, all to get to the atoms I required. My control over my telekinesis has reached the atomic level.
I could take apart entire planets and moons, separate them into useful parts and then discard the useless ones. If you would look from afar, you would see a storm being created. A Force Storm was being created. Space was beginning to crack and planets were disassembled slowly. It looked like they were turned to dust.
No one can imagine the concentration and the strain this takes on my brain. I can feel that I am bleeding all over. But I am not immortal for nothing. I increase the power and the Force Winds and Storm pick up speed. More and more planets are pulled into my range. An entire Solar System is getting pulled in my storm and come to me, in order for me to take them apart.
Hundreds of billions of tiny fractions of the useful parts of the planets, moons and even the sun are flowing towards my position inside the three rings. It looks like Force Drain, but with material things instead of just energy and vitality.

.
Everything reaches my position and I sort them orderly and place them inside the rings, next to the stuff I collected from the Explorer. More and more materials enter the rings and I can feel myself growing more and more proficient as I go along. It is ridiculous how far I have gotten. If I go along the power scaling I know of from my past life, then I would now be counted as a Solar System level threat.
Finally, after months of working this way, I finally have all the building materials, I will need. So the next part of the process can begin now. All around me, inside the three circles, there are millions of small areas where materials of similar kinds are placed together. I have all of them stay there, while I now begin the next part of the process.
I connect with the Planetary Brithing Chamber, the PBC and activate the rings. This uses my strength and also my vitality. I created them this way. Should someone ever try to use this, other than me ... he or she would dry out in the first few seconds, depending on how long their natural lifespan is. I can feel it working and all three rings, begin to slowly rotate. I pump more and more of the Force and vitality into the PBC, for the rings to pick up speed.
Faster and faster the rings rotate and after 29 minutes, they are so fast, that I can't see them anymore. They will keep this speed until I am finished with everything here. This was the second part of the process and now we come to the third part, which is the second to last.
.
I continue to pump the PBC with the Force and my vitality. But this time, the rings don't use it to speed up but channel the Force and my vitality into the middle. In a planet-like shape, everything which is inside the rings is beginning to be soaked and imbued with both the Force and my vitality. I keep everything inside a giant dome so that it doesn't leak outside of this space.
I feel the concentration rising slowly as all the materials and minerals, the soil and the atoms are slowly soaking up the energies. This is an important part of the process and probably the second most important one. By channelling the Force into everything, I not only make certain that my planet will become a Force nexus, but also the most powerful one in existence.
However, by channelling my vitality into everything, I make the planet my own. Truly my own, like the Explorer and the Planet Birthing Chamber. They are mine in everything. I will hold full control over it and that is an important thing too. Because if not, there is a chance that someone might think he can be smart and take it away from me. That won't ever happen.
Hours pass, then days and then weeks until I feel that everything is ready. The last step can finally begin.
.
The rings are still spinning as fast as before. Their momentum starts to carry over to everything which is located inside of the rings. All the minerals and materials also begin to rotate. But their rotation follows a different algorithm. I have everything planned here. I have never done something like this, but I know how planets are formed normally. The denser and therefore heavier minerals, sink down, while the less dense ones rise up.
I will speed up this process, while also mixing in the specific and interesting flora I collected across the galaxy. All the parts begin to move according to my will. Faster and faster around me, since I am still sitting in the middle of everything. I have the best control over it here.
Then the process begins. With me in the centre, more and more mass is being added after they are thoroughly mixed. I can feel the power when all that mass impacts me. But my natural Force shining across my skin is powerful and nothing reaches my body directly. Then ... my body begins to flicker in and out of existence. I become invisible and visible again. I trained this for a while now, for this exact moment.
After a few attempts, I finally managed to shift my density and have everything happen normally without disturbing the process. The core is getting formed as the dense material is getting compressed under my powerful telekinesis and the momentum transmitted by the rings. I am doing about a thousand things at once right now and I am feeling amazing.
More and more of the planet is being formed and using my full concentration, I manage to get it done perfectly. So a few months later, I am inside the core of my personal and newborn planet. I slowly rise from the core through the planet and then look at it from space. It is a barren planet as it didn't have the time to start its evolution. I will be the one to guide it and it will be glorious.
.
I can feel the sheer quantity and quality of the Force here Veritara. I called it this because it will become a planet of knowledge and the Force. It will have all aspects of the Force present and not just the light and dark side. There will be all aspects of the Force present. But I will make Veritara into a planet that is not inclined to any of the 'sides'.
Instead, Veritara will be a place for all of the Force. Showing my understanding and full acceptance of all the Force and not ignoring or despising one part of it. That is naive and idiotic behaviour and speaks of ignorance and lack of knowledge. I will create my personal race here ... the first members of my Order which I will create soon.
I can already feel the planet's forming consciousness. I pause for a moment. I am seriously starting to question myself ...
Am I and the Force married? ...
We already have three children theoretically. I mean there is the Explorer, the Planet Birthing Chamber and now ... an entire Planet. Veritara is my ... no our greatest creation yet. I lower myself down and as my feet touch the ground ... I can already feel her connecting to me.
"Hello there ... Veritara."
