Sword of Shiraya
- Intent: To create a large-scale military base and academy for the Royal Naboo Defense Force (RNDF) near Keren, Naboo, to serve as a hub for training, defense, and strategic operations in the Southern Systems. This will provide a central location for RP involving the RNDF and allow for development of storylines related to Naboo's defense and security.

- Military Base Name: Keren Royal Defense Complex
- Classification: Military Base and Academy
- Location: Keren, Naboo
- Affiliation: Royal Naboo Republic | Royal Naboo Defense Force
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Predominantly Human, with a significant Gungan presence due to integration of Gungan Grand Army veterans. Smaller populations of various species from across the galaxy attracted by recruitment efforts, including former Confederate veterans and individuals seeking refuge and opportunity.
- Accessibility: The complex is located in relatively open mountain terrain outside Keren, with prominent landing and docking facilities visible from the city. Access is restricted to authorized personnel and visitors. Checkpoints and security patrols are present along approach routes. Public access is limited to designated visitor areas and official events.
- Description: The Keren Royal Defense Complex is a sprawling facility designed to serve as the primary training and operational base for the RNDF. It features state-of-the-art training grounds, advanced simulation centers, research and development labs, extensive barracks, and strategic command facilities. The architecture blends Naboo's aesthetic sensibility with the functional requirements of a modern military installation.
- The Naboo Academy of Defense: The primary training facility for all RNDF personnel. It offers courses in a wide range of military disciplines, from basic combat skills to advanced tactics and leadership. The curriculum emphasizes both traditional Naboo values and the realities of modern warfare.
- Gungan Training Grounds: A specialized section of the Academy dedicated to training recruits in Gungan combat techniques and strategies. It features simulated environments that replicate the swamps and underwater environments of Naboo.
- The Strategic Command Center: The nerve center of the base, responsible for coordinating all RNDF operations. It is equipped with advanced communication and sensor systems, allowing commanders to monitor threats and respond quickly to emergencies.
- The Research and Development Labs: A cutting-edge facility where scientists and engineers develop new weapons, technologies, and strategies for the RNDF. They focus on adapting existing technologies to Naboo's unique environment and developing innovative solutions to emerging threats.
- The Royal Hangar: A massive hangar complex capable of housing and maintaining a wide range of spacecraft, from starfighters to transports and capital ships. It serves as the primary staging point for RNDF air operations.
- Barracks and Living Quarters: Modular housing to accommodate different species and their unique needs. Common recreation areas and social spaces, as well as spiritual centers with the capacity for different beliefs.
The facility maintains a high security rating through a multi-layered defense strategy. This includes both physical barriers like perimeter fences and energy shields, along with automated systems such as turrets and sensor arrays. RNDF personnel conduct regular patrols, supplemented by strategic chokepoints and security checkpoints. To ensure rapid response, specialized teams are kept on standby, while anti-aircraft batteries protect against aerial threats. Internal security is maintained by dedicated forces, comprehensive surveillance, and specialized security droids.
The Keren Royal Defense Complex was established in the years following Naboo's period of vulnerability and crisis. Recognizing the need for a stronger and more self-reliant defense force, the Royal Naboo Government commissioned the construction of a state-of-the-art military base and training academy. The location near Keren was chosen for its strategic location and proximity to Naboo's infrastructure.
Construction began with the support of volunteers from across Naboo and the galaxy. The design incorporated elements of both Naboo's traditional architecture and modern military engineering, reflecting the planet's commitment to peace and progress.
The Keren Royal Defense Complex quickly became the cornerstone of the RNDF's operations providing a central location for training, research, and strategic planning. The base has played a critical role in ensuring the security of Naboo and the Southern Systems, serving as a symbol of the planet's resilience and determination.
