SETTING INFORMATION
- Structure Name: Sublevel Six, Bard Independent Offices
- Classification: Bunker
- Location: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/EshanEshan
- Affiliation: Connory/Bard Independent
- Accessibility:
Sublevel Six is sealed behind various layers of biometric identification. Its use is restricted to Connory and select associates. It does not appear on the blueprints of the Bard Independent workshop, and its existence is need-to-know. - A thin layer of voidsteel, Connory's invention, prevents Force-sensitives from detecting or remote-viewing the bunker or its contents. It also prevents, for example, captive Sith from reaching out and being heard across the stars.
[*]Security:
- Enclision grids and turadium blast doors protect the entrances. Connory has also concealed a few enclision grids inside the workshop, in case of emergency.
- The sealed layer of voidsteel partially or completely insulates the bunker from all manner of Force effects, including illusion/mentalism, Sith magic, or the influence of ysalamiri. If this layer suffers major breaches, the insulating effect will no longer exist - and the insulation is far from perfect. Note also that, while the Force can be felt and influenced inside the bunker, explicitly sensing or affecting anything outside the bunker would be difficult.
[*]Description: Connory's bunker is the sixth and lowest sublevel of Bard Independent's snowed-in headquarters on Eshan. Connory uses the bunker to conceptualize and prototype many of his inventions. It's a great place for an NFU to study Force countermeasures without fear of Sith farsight or Jedi visions.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- GENERATOR: Independent, shielded, and long-lasting.
- HOLOTABLE: Hard-light holographic display capable of interfacing with a variety of droids and personal devices.
- EMERGENCY QUARTERS: A small side chamber with a bunk, an unused child-sized bunk, a 'fresher, a heater, an air purifier, a blast door, a kitchenette, and a year of basic consumables. Connory uses it for naps.
- MOLECULAR FURNACE: For when you just need to turn something (like Sith) into something else (like toilet paper).
- UNIVERSAL ENERGY CAGE: For Sith.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Connory constructed Sublevel Six long before he built Bard Independent, though the voidsteel insulation is a new development. The bunker has seen transcendent moments of invention and the occasional experiment on captive Sith.
He created the bunker after helping the Echani liberate Ord Mantell from an OMNI iteration during the Clockwork Crisis. The bunker served as his private analysis site for lethal OMNI technology, such as the nanites that had infected so many millions. Years later, between his stints undercover as a Republic Senator, Connory upgraded the site and purged the nanite samples due to their incredible hazard. Still later, concealed by the new voidsteel insulation, he lived here for a while after Mia Monroe scorched Mandalore. The bunker saw the occasional visit from Verity Shain, another key member of the Foundation Trust - almost always on business. The bunker sat empty during Connory's participation in the Foundation's mission to the companion galaxies.
When he learned that Monroe had given birth to a child, he returned to Eshan and established the bunker as his base of operations. He worked to build Bard Independent and locate his child as the Mandalorian Civil War wound down. The bunker became the sixth and lowest basement level of the Bard Independent workshop.
