Sword of Shiraya
- Intent: To establish a forward operating base for the Royal Intelligence Bureau and the Royal Naboo Defense Force on the agriworld of M'Haeli, securing the Republic's borders and protecting vital resources. This base will serve as a staging ground for Intelligence operations in the northern territory and for defending the Agriworld in case of attack from outside the Republic.

- Military Base Name: Red Rock Base
- Classification: Joint Intelligence & Defense Force Base
- Location: Red Rock, M'haeli
- Affiliation: Royal Naboo Republic | Royal Naboo Defense Force & Intelligence Bureau
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Predominantly Naboo, with a small contingent of other Republic-affiliated species.
- Accessibility: Relatively accessible by air and land, though the mountainous terrain surrounding the base provides a natural barrier. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only, with stringent security checks in place. The location is known, but not widely publicized.
- Description: Red Rock Base is a dual-purpose military installation carved into the red rock mountains on M'Haeli. One section houses the Royal Intelligence Bureau's monitoring, analysis, and agent operational hub, focusing on the Galactic Alliance. The other section serves as a forward operating base for the Royal Naboo Defense Force, equipped to defend M'Haeli and support operations in the northern Republic territories. The base includes fortified bunkers, communication arrays, landing pads, barracks, training facilities, and intelligence gathering labs.
- RIB Monitoring and Analysis Center: A state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced sensors, data processing systems, and dedicated analysis teams. Staffed by intelligence personnel, this center monitors Galactic Alliance communications, ship movements, and political developments.
- RIB Agent Forward Hub: A secure section of the base designed to support field agents. This includes briefing rooms, armories, medical facilities, and specialized vehicles for covert operations.
- Defense Force Command Center: The central hub for the Royal Naboo Defense Force on M'Haeli. From here, officers coordinate patrols, training exercises, and defensive strategies.
- Barracks and Training Grounds: Living quarters for the Defense Force personnel, along with extensive training facilities including a firing range, obstacle course, and simulated combat environments.
- Hangar Bay: A large hangar capable of housing starfighters, transports, and other support vehicles for both the RIB and the Defense Force.
- Perimeter Defense Grid: A network of automated turrets, sensor arrays, and patrol routes that protect the base from external threats.
This installation maintains a High security rating, achieved through a multi-layered defense strategy encompassing both external and internal threats. Perimeter security is ensured through strategically positioned turbolaser batteries, providing a formidable defense against airspace incursions, and complemented by regular ground patrols conducted by Defense Force troopers. Anti-Air (AA) guns further secure the airspace, preventing low-flying aircraft from penetrating the base's defenses.
Internally, dedicated armed security teams patrol the facility, maintaining order and responding to potential breaches. An extensive electronic surveillance network, comprised of cameras, sensors, and sophisticated monitoring systems, provides constant situational awareness. Access to restricted areas is strictly controlled through a combination of keycard authentication and biometric identification. Furthermore, the facility is equipped with reinforced blast doors and underground bunkers, offering robust protection to personnel during emergency situations. As a final layer of security, the base is capable of deploying a jamming field, effectively preventing all data transmission attempts, further safeguarding sensitive information.
Centuries after the Galactic Civil War, the Royal Naboo Republic recognized the strategic importance of M'Haeli as an agricultural world bordering the northern regions of the galaxy. Given the proximity to their borders, the Republic saw the need for both enhanced intelligence gathering and a stronger military presence.
The Red Rock area, once a site of Rebel activity during the Galactic Civil War, was chosen as the ideal location for the new base. The mountainous terrain provided natural defenses, and the site's historical significance served as a reminder of the Republic's commitment to freedom and security. Construction began with the joint initiative of the Royal Intelligence Bureau and the Royal Naboo Defense Force.
Red Rock Base serves as a vital asset for the Royal Naboo Republic, providing a crucial intelligence foothold and defensive bastion on the edge of their territory. It symbolizes the Republic's dedication to protecting its citizens and resources while maintaining a watchful eye on its neighbors.
