- Accessibility: Blizzard Base is a hidden base, known only to those within the SIA and the upper echelons of Galactic Alliance Starfighter Command. It is easily accessible for X-Wings, A-Wings, Y-Wings and other GA starfighters. It is separate from any sort of civilisation and is very remote.
- Description: Blizzard Base does not seem like much at first glance, anyone who dared venture across the ice covered and rocky outcrops would see an ice capped mountain and a structure built into it. The structure would seem to be something like a closed off cave but on closer inspection, one would see a communications dish. A somewhat large cannon built atop it and inside the hangar, it would be a hubbub of activity. Pilots and sentries running through the hangar bay and commanders planning missions. All sorts of craft packed in there. Further inside, a cafeteria and bunks could be found with hoarse snoring from sleeping personnel.
Hangar Bay - This is one of the most important areas of the base and it contains the craft that Phantom Group use in their missions. Their X-Wings, A-Wings, Y-Wings, Recon Transports, Landspeeders and Airspeeders are all here and are maintained by hangar staff and ground crew. This is also where the mechanics spend most of their time working on the ships and bringing them up to peak combat efficiency. It can hold up to three squadrons
Cafeteria/Kitchens - The cafeteria has been noted by some personnel as one of the most important places on the base, it is where food is prepared for everyone on base. It is also where the chefs spend most of their time, preparing the finest meals with whatever they have at hand, which includes repurposed military rations. It is a large room with long tables and stools, it is just a bit smaller than the hangar bay though is equally as efficient. People also come to socialise and unwind after a hard day's tasks.
Holosimulator Room - A room which contains machines that are used by the pilots on base to simulate landings, take-offs and combat situations. It is primarily used for X-Wing training but they can be configured to any ship that the pilots might use on their missions.
Readyroom - Also known as the assembly room, this is a space where the pilots and personnel on the base are briefed on specific tasks and missions. It contains a flag which has the Phantom Group Crest and all the names of all the original personnel on the base.
Dormitories - Also known as sleeping quarters, this is where pilots can use their time for recreation and just generally getting some rest. Each of the rooms contains two bunks at either side of the dorm with bedside tables and windows.
Medbay- Where personnel are treated for wounds and illnesses. This is where the medics spend most of their time.
Command Centre - A large room with a holotable situation in the middle, this is where the Base Commanders discuss battle plans, operations and where they maintain contact with Headquarters.
Royal Blue Tapcaf - A tapcaf and cantina where pilots can relax and unwind with drinks and can socialise more freely than in the cafeteria. It is manned by a droid who serves as the bartender.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The original Blizzard Base was once an outpost on the planet Javaal for any Galactic Alliance personnel and materiel to do stopovers and refuel. It was built c. 820 ABY. After while it was left to disrepair in favour of the Brentaal IV Base. After the Battle for Brentaal in 860 ABY, it was chosen as the location for a forward operating base to be used the GA Intelligence's Phantom Group, a hybrid starfighter/commando unit. It took around three months to properly renovate the place and it was tough to use covert methods to transport materiel and supplies to maintain the base.
Javaal was chosen as the world due to it being mostly uninhabited with little to no native fauna living there. It is also located near Brentaal IV, a key Galactic Alliance world so any backup would be easily received if needed. It is also located at the crossroads of most major hyperlanes which makes it ample for launching missions out into the wider galaxy when required.
