"Outpost Horizon stands as a beacon in the void—too stubborn to fall, too vital to ignore. It is where the dust settles only to be kicked up again, where survival isn't just a skill but a way of life."
― Unknown
The Foundation establishes Outpost Horizon on the abandoned, war-scarred world of Kuar, utilizing its underground infrastructure and harsh, remote terrain to build a secure, hidden command center. The outpost serves as a staging ground for their Deep Core campaign against the Dark Empire, allowing the Foundation to coordinate strikes, train operatives, and shelter key assets while remaining undetected.
Outpost Horizon is more than just a hidden base—it’s the launch point for the next phase of the war. From here, the Foundation will destabilize the Dark Empire, disrupt its supply chains, and carve a path for the final push into the Deep Core. If the Galactic Alliance seeks to reclaim the region, they will find that the Foundation has already laid the groundwork for freedom—free of both Imperial oppression and bureaucratic complacency.

STRATEGIC FEATURES & DESIGNS
- Subterranean Stronghold – The outpost is hidden within Kuar’s abandoned underground cities, repurposing old Mandalorian and Kuaran structures for secure command centers, training facilities, and barracks. Blast-proof tunnels provide easy mobility while shielding the base from orbital scans and bombardments.
- An energy field anomaly in the region – possibly a remnant of ancient Mandalorian war tech, which disrupts long-range Imperial sensors.
- Adaptive Defense Network – Utilizing natural caverns, repurposed battle fortifications, and stealth shielding, the base remains undetectable. Perimeter defenses include camouflaged sensor outposts, motion-triggered traps, and defensive choke points.
- Stealth Landing Bays – Underground hangars and concealed landing pads house infiltration craft, supply shuttles, and recon teams. Caves act as natural launch corridors, keeping movement discreet.
- Reconnaissance & Intel Hub – Outpost Horizon operates as an intelligence-gathering center, using long-range scanners, slicer networks, and deep-space probes to monitor Dark Empire movements. Foundation operatives use Kuar as a launching point for sabotage missions and deep-cover operations.
- Supply & Logistics Depot – Stockpiling fuel, munitions, and medical supplies, the base ensures sustained resistance efforts. A hidden water reservoir, sourced from underground aquifers, secures long-term sustainability.
- Guerrilla Training Grounds – Kuar’s harsh terrain provides an ideal environment for battle simulations and survival training. Rebel cells, Jedi dissidents, and defectors sharpen their skills in ambush tactics, sabotage, and infiltration techniques.
- Minimal Footprint, Maximum Impact – Designed to remain unnoticed, the outpost employs strict operational security, limited power signatures, and encrypted communications. Movements are staggered to prevent pattern recognition, and false signal relays create confusion for enemy scans.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Ancient Foundations & Forgotten Wars
Kuar was once the site of great conflict, from the brutal conquest of the Mandalorians in 4002 BBY to the legendary duel between Ulic Qel-Droma and Mandalore the Indomitable. Its underground cities remained abandoned for centuries—until The Foundation uncovered them.
Rebel Occupation & The Foundation's Arrival
In 902 ABY, after the Dark Empire’s grip on the Deep Core weakened, The Foundation deployed reconnaissance teams to find a staging ground for their operations. Kuar, sparsely populated and filled with hidden ruins, was the perfect choice. Operatives unearthed the subterranean Mandalorian strongholds and repurposed them into a modern base of operations.
Training the Next Generation of Warriors
With the rediscovery of ancient Kuar warrior traditions, rebel trainers, led by Master Tavik Rho, have begun incorporating these lost combat techniques into their modern warfare tactics. Rho, a Jedi archaeologist and martial arts expert, believes these warrior philosophies can give The Foundation an edge against the Dark Empire.
Mission Objectives & Future Plans
Outpost Horizon is more than just a secret base—it is the staging ground for the Deep Core’s liberation. The Foundation’s primary objectives include:
- Launching coordinated strikes on key Dark Empire strongholds (Kampe, Prakith, and Jerrilek).
- Sabotaging Imperial supply lines and disrupting enemy logistics.
- Uncovering and integrating lost Kuar warrior techniques into modern combat.
- Building alliances with local dissidents and defectors.
- Preparing for the eventual clash with the Galactic Alliance, should they attempt to reclaim the Deep Core.
With Kuar’s war-torn past and abandoned fortresses, Outpost Horizon represents the last hope of resistance in the Deep Core—a flickering ember ready to ignite into rebellion.
