SETTING INFORMATION
- Astronomical Location Name: IS-72/48 “Location 48”
- Classification: Modified asteroid
- Location: Wild Space, far beyond Port Mynock.
- Rotational Period: 24 galactic standard hours
- Orbital Period: 1648 galactic standard days
- Size: Large
- Affiliation: Hex Incorporated
- Population: Moderate
- Demographics: Numerous
- Accessibility: Hidden in the asteroid belt of a lone gas giant, hazardous to navigate and hard to find by anyone who doesn’t have the precise coordinates.
- Description: The station itself is built into a large asteroid, featuring an artificial gravity and synthetically modified rotational period to resemble a galactic standard day. The base itself features numerous facilities, quarters and areas to fill a number of roles.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Hangar: The station has an enormous hangar bay capable of housing dozens of craft and even docking capital ships if needed.
- Training Facilities: Numerous sections of the base are dedicated to exercise, training and studying for the classified occupants to prepare them for virtually any kind of overt and covert operation.
- Detention Center: A heavily fortified and secure detention is found in the lower levels of the base, isolated from any and all locations of note. Interrogation facilities and reinforced holding cells make the prison section formidable and incredibly difficult to escape from, even for powerful force users. A strict guard rotation of elite soldiers and numerous contingencies ensure that the prisoners are always watched and restrained.
- Living Quarters: For both the inhabitants as well as any visitors, the base features spacious and comfortable living quarters, as well as an internal greenhouse and recreation areas for relaxation as well as mental health. Soldiers and trainees receive more conventional barracks sections, although they do have access to the recreational facilities.
- Reactor: The heart of the base, the main reactor, as well as several backup power generators, are isolated deep inside the asteroid with tight security and highly restricted access.
- Engineering: The base has its own engineering bay and small shipyard to repair and sustain itself as well as any craft or equipment its inhabitants have or need.
- Medical: The facility houses a fully operational hospital, research laboratory, and experimental facility for treatment, studying and experimentation on biological lifeforms.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Hex Internal Security Base 72/48, Codenamed IS-72/48 and more commonly referred to as “Location 48” by the select few who know of its existence, is a secure facility designed to train the “employees” of Hex Incorporated’s highly confidential “Internal Security division”. The base is built into a large asteroid orbiting a gas giant in an isolated solar system in Wild Space.
The asteroid belt and electromagnetic fluctuations make the base incredibly difficult to find or track. Navigation is incredibly risky as well for those lacking the proper coordinates or navigational pathways to reach the facility. Its isolated and hazardous location serves to keep it well hidden from the rest of the galaxy.
Apart from training and housing the InterSec agents of the company, the facility is fully self-sufficient with its own engineering section. Another, more sinister, use for the facility is the containment of potential prisoners as well as the medical experimentation on lifeforms.
