- Military Base Name: Fort Comark
- Classification: Secret Military Base
- Location: Jaemus
- Affiliation: Dark Empire | IMPERA
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Predominately Human and Near-Human with a small amount of supplementary Automated Personnel with most of the Base's personnel having been drawn from the Imperial Navy
- Accessibility: Fort Comark is located within the most treacherous mountainous region of Jaemus with most of the base hidden underground with the only way to access it being by air. In addition to this, it positioned far away from most of Jaemus's urban centers with the closest one being Diadochron some six hundred clicks away. Owing to it's status as a secret Imperial base, Fort Comark is heavily guarded being accessible to authorized Imperial personnel only. Any intruders found within the base's perimeter are shot on sight n order to maintain the secrecy of the Imperial operation there.
- Description: Fort Comark is a secret underground military base currently operated by the Dark Empire on the Outer Rim world of Jaemus. Established on the former site of a former Helix Syndicate Maximum Security Prison, Fort Comark consists of nine subterranean levels with the only above-ground feature being the concealed doors to the only means to access the facility, an underground Venator-style Hangar. Through Fort Comark, the Dark Empire is able to maintain a presence on Jaemus albeit secretly providing it with the means to quickly reinforce the Imperial-aligned city of Diadochron should it fall under hostile attack
- Sub-Level A [Hangar] : Located deep within Jaemus's most treacherous mountainous region is the Hangar of Fort Jomark which serves as the only entry and exit point to the facility. Originally it originally consisted of a simple above-ground landing pad and was used to register, process, examine and freeze newly arrived prisoners when Fort Jomark was once a prison. However it has since been converted into a large Venator-style underground flight deck featuring large armored bow doors with part of the mountain terrain attached on the top of it. These doors can open and close enabling Fort Comark to launch starships albeit at the cost of temporarily exposing the location of the facility.
- Sub-Levels B-E : The next four levels underneath the Hangar are dedicated to the personnel stationed there featuring various facilities such as armories, recreation centers, barracks, training facilities and more. Compared to the original prison facility, the armories and barracks have been vastly expanded while various new training facilities and other facilities were added to accommodate the additional amount of personnel. Sub-Level C is where the central command center of Fort Comark is located where the entire facility is monitored through various security systems and protection systems.
- Sub-Levels F-I : These three levels are dedicated to the storage and maintenance of the Droid Units utilized by the Dark Empire as an auxiliary security force meant to further support the organic soldiers of the facility. Originally they served to hold carbon-frozen prisoners with 1,600 prisoners held per level with each level being split into 10 rooms of 160 racks of carbonite-frozen prisoner. The new layout of Fort Comark follows this system with the Battle/Security Droids stored there instead of carbon-frozen prisoners where they are maintained and charged at all times, ready for deployment whenever the Empire desires it.
- Sub-Level 0 : Located between Levels A and B is a specialized room accessible only through a hidden turbulent from Level A. This room contains a variety of highly advanced equipment connected to a series of hidden relay dishes scattered throughout the mountainous region of Jaemus. This allows the Dark Empire to maintain a listening post on the planet that will allow them to intercept, decrypt and record communications sent throughout the planet.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
After the emergence of the Diarchy as a galactic power and the subsequent skirmish between Imperial and Diarchy forces at Entralla and Munnilinst, the Warlord of the Empire Marlon Sularen sought to contain the expansion of the Diarchy at all costs viewing them as an immediate threat to the Empire now that the Diarchy was threatening to force the Empire in a two-front war. After meetings with Moff Antipater and Allegiant-General Mordane, the Imperial Warlord would begin executing his long-envisioned "Jaemus Initiative", a program aimed at strengthening the Empire's presence in the Jaemus Sector, from which was where Moff Antipater was based and which was viewed by Sularen as a possible means to keep the Diarchy in check.
As part of the preliminary step towards properly launching the "Jaemus Initiative", efforts were undertaken to establish a secret military base on Jaemus near Moff Antipater's seat of power of Diadochron which the Empire could utilize as a means to support his regime against outside threats such as local rival factions and even the Diarchy itself should they attempt to remove Antipater from his seat of power. Finding the long abandoned underground maximum security prison once operated by the Helix Syndicate, the Empire excavated the site before taking it over and beginning a long process of restoring and renovating it soon transforming the former prison into their desired secret military base from which they could station a small garrison that could keep watch over Moff Antipater's holdings and the developments going on throughout Jaemus.
With the completion of the secret base now dubbed Fort Comark, the Empire now possesses a foothold on Jaemus enabling it to contest any future attempts made by the Diarchy to expand their sphere over Jaemus in order to secure the future of Moff Antipater's Jaemus Directory and ensure that Imperial interests on the planet are safeguarded against the Diarchy's expansion in the long-run.
