- Intent: It is a research base that protects the gateway to Otherworld, which disguises itself as KFE’s food lab.

- Structure Name: Centre for Advanced Culinary Ewokology
- Classification: Research base
- Location: Endor
- Affiliation: HPI Consortium | Kalidan Fried Ewok | Eternal Empire | The Primyn Group (limited)
- Accessibility: The base is quite hidden deep in the forests of the Endor moon, making it quite difficult to find. Of course, those who have to come here will find it, but just by chance finding it here is not that easy. The protection of the base is quite high, despite the fact that it is said to be a research station. It’s not really a secret base, but its existence is neither disclosed nor planned. Access to the base is only possible with special permission.
- Description: The base actually serves two purposes, one of which only disguises the main operation. Earlier, when Ingrid L'lerim and Onrai were here, L'lerim clashed with Night Spirit, whom she defeated and with the reassembled Sunstar Vanessa opened a gateway to the Otherworld. Although this was later closed, a small rift remained. The lab was built to protect this rift from unpleasant visitors and prevent anyone from finding and using it. Inside the research lab, the gateway is guarded and researched by scientists and researchers from HPI Consortium and the Primyn Group, guarded by soldiers from the Eternal Empire. This in itself would have been too attention-grabbing in itself, as the Eternal Empire had nothing to do with Endor before. In addition to being part of the Empire. It was then that the idea came to involve the Kalidan Fried Ewok as a laboratory to develop even tastier and faster growing Ewoks, genetically engineered. For this reason, their laboratory was also built on the base for this purpose. However, it is important to note that the people at KFE do not know what the real purpose of the base is, nor what research and work is going on in the closed area.
- The Rift: There is an enclosed area on the ground floor of the base, which can only be entered with a special permit. This is the place built around the ruins of the old tree where the gateway to Otherworld used to be. A separate hall was built for the site, in case someone could reopen the gateway, it could function as a portal. The most protected place in the base.
- The laboratory: The labs belonging to the Rift Hall are also in the enclosed area. They watch and study the rift, any radiation, or Otherworld if the portal is currently open. Special permission is also required to enter this area.
- KFE labs: Here, research and development for Ewok breeding takes place, and various Ewok recipes are also invented by working scientists for the restaurant chain. Several of the research and development laboratories are located in designated parts of the base. These are not closed, so the workers and mercenaries can move freely here.
- The Ground: It is located a little further from the main building of the base, but still at the base estate. A separate complex of buildings next to the runway where scientists, soldiers and mercenaries can relax and chill after work. It is essentially a cantina where they also have the opportunity to gamble.
- Runway: It is also a bit further from the building, it was built on an earlier meadow, the transport boats come here, or the ferries, boats that bring the supply, or transport the finished products and results from here.
- Accommodations: There are two separate sections of accommodation at the base, both departments being given separate seats so that the soldiers, mercenaries and scientists of the KFE and the Eternal Empire meet as little as possible and do not disturb each other.
- Security Rating: Maximum
- Defensive Systems:
- Security Forces:
- 100x Ultranauts (inside)
- 2x Psi-corps members (inside)
- 200x Infinite war droids (100x outside, 100x inside)
- KFE Mercenaries (variable number, outside)
The base is relatively new, it was only completed a few weeks or months ago, after a portal was created in this place and then, after its closure, a rift was made in the direction of Otherworld. Since @Ingrid L’lerim didn’t want anyone to be able to use this, she built a base around the place. It would have been all too suspicious that a base loyal to the Eternal Empire would be built in the middle of nowhere, so a covert operation was also needed.
Fortunately, one of the subsidiaries of the HPI Consortium, the Vexillium, decided to invest in Kalidan Fried Ewok, and that gave the idea. The base has been designed to be one of KFE’s research laboratories for the outside world, where researchers deal with Ewok breeding and Ewokology. One half of the research station does serve this, but the other half belongs to the Eternal Empire, and the rift is guarded and examined.
The construction itself was funded by the Eternal Empire and the HPI Consortium, and they also oversaw the construction. As for the base, it is located deep in the forests of Endor, in a place where no road really leads, i.e. completely isolated. Thus, it can only be approached by a flying vehicle. Guests are not really welcomed, only scientists, soldiers and mercenaries working here are present.
The secret section is staffed by scientists from the HPI Consortium and the Primyn Group, individuals from Primyn who have been personally appointed to the task by AMCO . As for the mercenaries, they are hired and employed by KFE at company level and do not know what tasks are in there, last but not least they are Ewok hunters.
As for the area outside the main building, the whole place covers a fairly large space, which is surrounded by an energy fence because the generator and shield itself only protect the main building and its immediate vicinity. A little further away from the main building is a complex of several buildings. This place was built on a larger meadow. Here you will find a hangar, “The Ground” cantina for workers, soldiers and mercenaries, and a runway.
