Gabriel Sionoma
Sheriff of Sulon
Name: Katarn Homestead (Refurbished)
Classification: Farm/Home
Location: Located on an open rolling field of plains and small hills of Sulon. The homestead itself rests on the peak of a small hill, allowing 360 degree view of the surrounding area. Surrounding land use is entirely devoted to agriculture, though up until recently, the land was not viable due to failure of the aquaducts.
Affiliation: Currently owned by Gabriel Sionoma, given to him for services rendered to the local law enforcement on the moon of Sulon. Property is thus affiliated with the Galactic Alliance.
Description: The Katarn Homestead existed once as a humble and meager farm for the Katarn family. However, as the structure changed hands, wading between foreclosures and absentee ownership, the homestead fell nearly into ruin while being obtained by the authorities. Ownership transferred to the bank, it was given to Gabriel Sionoma as a means of payment for future services and assistance with local law enforcement.
The structure of the homestead, after removal of overgrown vegetation and vines, was restored to resembled a rustic villa style. This includes the use of natural stone (sandstone, slate, limestone, granite, travertine) for overall construction. Wiring was entirely refurbished, internal piping corroded and repaired with copper replacement, and every room was restored with care.
The house itself comes with a good deal of rooms, meant to house a rather large family or even numerous families. The kitchen and the family room exist above ground, in multiple iterations (3 kitches, 3 family rooms), that allow for proper socialization as well as cooking and preparation of food. The house is powered by fuel, delivered from Fuel City, and heating is mostly natural gas supplemented by wood burning fire places, scattered throughout the home.
Tunnels beneath the house, leading out into the hill side, were renovated to included multiple tactical structures. This includes a communication room, supplemented with a holo wall, and an armory. Both facilities were provided for by the Galactic Alliance and equipment were provided by local law enforcement. The communication room is capable of allowing communication across the galaxy, holonet connections, and simulations of planets (comes standard with real time experiences of Arkania, Mirial, and Kiffu).
Outside facilities include a patio, constructed in the same manner as the house with additional cooking amenities. As well as this, a therapeutic sand garden exists on the southern facing side of the house, allowing for early morning activities. Adjacent to the house, but in a separate facility, a state of the art training facility allows for physical therapy, fitness, and combat training, which can include the use of weapons. Fitness facility comes with a standard medical bay.
Extending out as far as the eye can see, the property comes with over 1000 acres of unused fields and timber woods. On the back lot, as the woods push into a canyon, a Tap Tree runs water to the fields and house. Duracrete ducts were repaired, with the assistance of local businesses, to re-instate water supply to the Homestead.
While the house appears as a homestead, equipped with art and decorations resembling a marriage of Mirialan, Arkanian, and Kiffar heritage, the house is built with numerous safety devices. This includes motion sensors on property, cameras and recordings that link back to the communication room, as well as evacuation tunnels beneath the house and an emergency shuttle. The house comes equipped with multiple speeders for transport back and forth to the major cities.
History: The Katarn Homestead has a history spanning back to the original Katarn Family, 1 BBY. Over the many centuries, the location has been owned by numerous families and entities who have either had to foreclose upon the location or have died in ownership, without any proper heir. The property was offered to Gabriel, prior to leaving the academy of Sullust, by the local banking entities in Baron's Hed in return for assistance to law enforcement in dealing with special cases. Due to his more meager means, any equipment that couldn't be provided by the Galactic Alliance was obtained through a bartering of services or agricultural leans from local distributors. Repairs to the homestead were excessive, including complete gutting of inner piping and wires, rebuilding of new rooms and reconstruction of facilities, as well as foundation repair. On top of this, subterranean water ways had worn down or been disrupted by vegetation growth, requiring complete re-installation to the Tap Tree.
Intent: To provide a home for Gabriel's children, Destin and Armaud. Along with this, will provide a location for the adoptive parents to care for the children and allow for the raising of the children in a relatively non violent area. Should Sullust ever be attacked, as it's the capital of the Galactic Alliance, the slightly removed location will allow for additional time for evacuation.
