- City Name: Ijaat Taylir, 'Honor Hold'
- Classification: Small Fortified Colony, Fortress City Compound
- Location: 14th Moon of Echoy'la
- Affiliation:
- Primary | Sons of Mandalore
- Secondary | New Imperial Order [ Autonomous Zone ]
- Population: Medium
- With a majority of the Mandalorian creed brought to the sword at Hammerfall and following the second battle of Mandalore, the people have been scattered through out the Galaxy and have constructed roots under different banners, the Sons of Mandalore even adopt an abrasive nature to their fellow Mandalorians, holding them to blame for the fall of their home sector and near annihilation of their people to begin with as they seek to embark on the crusade to re-take and rebuild their homeland, making them less than likely to be the destination of many wayward Mandalorians, though still their ranks continue to grow albeit steadily.
- Demographics: Almost entirely Mandalorian in culture.
- Vast majority of the population is Human or Near-Human, though outright Aliens are not an impossible sight.
- Wealth: Medium
- While planetary system of Echoy'la is all but devoid of life other than the Mandalorian colonists, a great deal has gone into investing into the construction of the Mandalorian stronghold and enclave on Echoy'la, whilst the Mandalorians present largely rely on traveling outside of the system to make a living, mostly through military contracts. The mining of Beskar on the 14th moon of the system be it by the Sons of Mandalore or the New Imperial Order has allowed a stable line of credit to trickle into the system to flow as well compounded by the New Imperial Order's desire to keep a strong flow of credits into the system in order to keep a strong defensive infrastructure along Echoy'la's strategic positioning on the Braxant Run.
- Stability: High
- Mandalorians at their core are inheritly prone to conflict between one another, however the Clan Oligachical structure is largely respect as the close knit population compounded with the Mandalorian Resol'nare has resulted in a largely safe and stable insular society within the enclave where inner crime is minimal and disputes are solved through the proper Mandalorian channels of personal combat.
- Freedom & Oppression: Adhering to the Resol'nare and views largely found among the ancient 'True Mandalorians', the Sons of Mandalore operate on a basis of wide and equal opportunity and self-determination as well as the Mandalorians largely policing themselves with a vast majority of the members of the Sons of Mandalore being efficient warriors themselves, all uniformly united in a common goal. While the group of Mandalorians and by extension Ijaat Taylir is led by a clan oligarchy making up the Alors and respected figures of the clans who had officially taken up leadership roles as Field Marshals and Rally Masters within the Sons of Mandalore, the rule over its people is very libertarian in how it polices the liberties of its people. Though those visiting the fortress enclave be they from the New Imperial Order or otherwise are treated in a light of distrust and thus rarely led anywhere without a Mandalorian in their shadow. In short, this is their home, their place of comfort and safety in a Galaxy which has run short of such places for the Mandalorians and thus they cherish the feeling of home that it brings and will not allow it to disrupted under any means, being welcoming and accomodating to the Mandalorian Crusaders and Supercommandos under the banner of the Sons of Mandalore.
- Description: While the 14th moon of Echoy'la and the near entirety of the planetary system is lifeless, Ijaat Taylir has been constructed as a colony deeply rooted into the world, taking its surface presence in the form of a large fortress like structure with an atmospherically sealed compound and enclave with a structure digging into the underground of the planet to make up a 'vault' like underground city structure featuring all the amenities needed to indefinitely sustain the population living there with food manufacturing facilities, an insular economy and atmospheric filtering and antisepsis systems in place to make for a
POINTS OF INTEREST 
The Gate - The sole entrance to Ijaat Taylir by means of ground travel, it is an immensely fortified hard point of the fortress city meant to withstand a great deal of ordinance at its re-inforced surface as well as acting as a choke point to force invaders through in the case of a full scale assault of Honor Hold, fortified with military grade defense systems and scanners to identify any approaching, however it is able to accomodate the entry super to super-heavy land vehicles and makes way to the entrance of a vehicle holding facility where the Sons of Mandalore keep armored and reconnaissance vehicles to patrol the surrounding area. Though there are auxiliary entrances and exits scattered around Honor Hold, The Gate is the primary means of bringing in and out large amounts of people and material.
The Hub - The central nexus point by within which the society of Honor Hold operates, a moderate sized contained city where the makings of the Sons of Mandalore economy operates with traveling traders and merchants allowed to operate here while the area also acts as the venue for Mandalorian gatherings and social events, illuminated to a far warmer and welcoming degree than the rest of the typically dimly lit corridors of Honor Hold.
The Forgeworks - Operated exclusively by the Mandalorians of the Sons of Mandalore, expert craftsmen and women, 'forgemasters' use the facilities to construct weapons, armor and other items from Beskar Steel. While also holding larger manufacturing facilities to operate and maintain weapons, armor, vehicles and starships made by Mythosaur Forgeworks, the primary employer of all Mandalorians who are not acting as Crusaders against the Sith Empire or SuperCommandos working to make a living from other sources within and without the planetary system.
The Crucible - In order to continue to hone and temper the fighting skills of the Mandalorians who live within Honor Hold, a colliseum has been established to pit Mandalorians against one another either to handle greater disputes or to earn the respect and revelry of their kin in a highlighted venue whilst also posessing smaller training areas and simulation zones for Mandalorians to hone martial arts, melee combat, small scale squad tactics and even possesses the simulation programs to simulate large scale battle scenarios on holoprojection tables in order to hone strategic scale mindset of the Sons of Mandalore Field Marshals. Not too uncommon is it known for the Sons of Mandalore to import vicious creatures from within and without the system to battle its warriors within the controlled environments, so too is it known for nearby New Imperial Stormtroopers and Special Operatives to make attempts at testing their might within the Crucible against the Sons of Mandalore's warriors with several simulation areas even being utilized for war games between the two factions in a mutually beneficial setting.
The Sanctuary - Located underground, the Sanctuary houses the residentual area of all the Mandalorians present in Honor Hold, seperated along Clan lines with seperate communion areas for each prevalent family within the fortress city as well as housing a small sector of auxiliary quarters for New Imperial Order military personnel and other travelers passing through the system though it is pointedly separate and out of the way to the main area which is structured in a round ring with several arms branching off to seperate Clan residences. The prevalent Clans deemed to have their own areas as of Honor Hold's foundation being Bralor, Fett, Vizsla, Kurze, Munin, Skirata and Priest though there are divergent smaller communions for clan splinters which have joined the Sons of Mandalore. At the center of The Sanctuary is the armory which acts as a stockpile of all warfighting equipment available to the Sons of Mandalore. Also too is there several hydroponic and other food manufacturing facilities utilizing molecular furnaces to turn the dead matter of mining operations into drinkable water and edible food.
Hangar Bays - Located at several points within the surface fortress of Honor Hold there are several hangar bays able to be utilizing by travelers and always a reserved area for members of the Sons of Mandalore, able to accommodate up to corvette-class sized vessels.
SECURITY : Maximum
Protected by not only systems upheld by the New Imperial Order within the sector and planetary system, Honor Hold is defended by the Sons of Mandalore proper meaning it posesses a ferocious garrison of veteran Mandalorian Crusaders and Supercommandos which watch over Honor Hold to protect from any foreign threats. Able to mobilize several variants of starfighters, armored vehicles, fast attack and infantry units from Honor Hold in a means of rapid deployment whilst also possessing stalwart defense systems around the compound and a redundantly layered surface hull and shielding system with internal systems such as repulsor-lift disablers and a single hypervelocity railgun present to defend against invading forces from orbit.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Shortly after the New Imperial Order's victory at Dubrillion, a conquest which gave the Imperial faction control of the planet and surrounding sector, the Sons of Mandalore re-located itself from its temporary enclave on the planet of Krieg to the 14th moon of the Echoy'la system where a construction project led by Mythosaur Forgeworks to construct a suitable fortress enclave for the Sons of Mandalore. With the assistance of both New Imperial funding in the interests of pleasing the interests of the Mandalorians as well as adding another hardpoint along the front with teh Sith Empire as well as the collective wealth of the Sons of Mandalore, the construction project was completed quickly after its onset with the Sons of Mandalore completing its full re-location to the planet just prior to the invasion of Bastion where Honor Hold was used as a staging point to send the second wave, Battle Group 'Cassus Fett' into the battle to attack the Sith-Imperial capital.
Since then, several more Mandalorians underneath the re-constituted Neo-Crusader banner have flocked to Honor Hold and taken up residence as one of the few enclaves for Mandalorians adherent to the ways of the Crusader, to act as a forward outpost in the evergoing battle to reclaim Mandalore from the Sith Empire whilst in-exile underneath the New Imperial Order with whom the Sons of Mandalore has maintained a close alliance with in their strongly rooted mutual interests of the relinquishing of Sith control of the Mandalorian Sector.
