- Structure Name: Sanguine Defense Works Headquarters
- Classification: Industrial Plant
- Location: Wrea
- Affiliation: Sanguine Defense Works, Order of Wonosa
- Accessibility: While not necessarily hidden, the plant is tucked away among the rocky outcroppings of one of Wrea's many islands and is somewhat difficult to access without clearance. A surprisingly strong and dedicated defensive and security network keeps interlopers and the public out and away from the plant as well as the island that it is situated upon, however invited guests are allowed to land and visit as well as third-party ship traffic conducting business with the company.
- Description: On one of the islands dotting the ocean world of Wrea stands the headquarters of the Sanguine Defense works company, a fairly imposing factory and industrial spaceport tucked into the rocky and shrubbery landscape of the island. It sits in a sort of canal formed from a crater of some ancient meteoric impact, the main industrial area stretching into the crater and across the river itself. Some defensive installations acting as outposts are positioned across the island but by and large all attention is focused on the main industrial area at the crater.
Spaceport/Loading Area
Connected to the wider plant via a short tram-line, the port features several landing pads and small hangars as well as a few warehouses. All of which are almost entirely dedicated to the importing and exporting of materials and products to and from the plant itself, although there is an area set aside for traffic from guests and workers which doesn't interfere with the cargo focused operations that comprise the majority of the spaceport.
Main Plant
Straddling the river that runs through the island and sat atop a crater, the main industrial area of the plant is by far the most involved and imposing of the whole facility. This area consists of a factory to assemble various SDW products, smaller refineries for gas and metals for said products, and the main power source for the facility which makes use of the river in the form of a hydroelectric power generator. It also houses a small office complex in the upper levels and a communications array alongside the main security coordination center.
Crater
Below the main plant is a crater caused by some impact from a meteor in the planet's past, in the present this is mainly occupied by the main plant's lower levels of production and industrial work. However there is also a mine attached to the lower levels, used by the company to provide an on-site supply of Dedlanite to the plant as well as a few other miscellaneous metals that are alloyed into Durasteel for the same purpose.
Testing Ground
Just outside of the main plant itself is the testing facility for the various weaponry and products that the plant itself produces. Experimental prototypes varying from infantry equipment to ground emplacements and starship armaments have their own testing grounds here and a handful of prototypes are even kept installed and operation to provide additional defense for the plant as well as an intimidating sight for guests.
SECURITY
High
- Deflector Shield Generator
- Laser Turrets
- Prototype Particle Cannon Turrets
- Auxiliary Legionnaire Garrison
- Tuk'ata Droid Garrison
Quite unusually for a simple industrial plant, the headquarters for the SDW company features quite sturdy defenses and even dedicated guard forces. Several installations across the island featuring turrets and outposts exist to provide an ever watchful gaze for trespassers but the main plant and its surrounding area are protected not only by a deflector shield but also dedicated defensive arrays and the main garrison of their guard forces. Additionally the experimental weaponry produced by the company will sometimes be incorporated into the defenses of the plant, although this is in varying degrees of course.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The location of the Sanguine Defense Works Headquarters had previously been occupied by a much smaller black market affiliated arms trading outpost, little more than a few hangars and a warehouse for auctions that would occur far from prying eyes. With Wrea itself being situated on the Corellian Run this market would see some regular usage in the criminal underworld but due to its small size and the slight difficulties involved in visiting Wrea it never became a major hub for the arms trading business. It did however gain the attention of one particular group during its dealings and operations.
The Order of Wonosa, whilst waging their little war on crime, caught wind of the market on Wrea and launched a raid against it during one of its auctions. Despite some damage during the assault the spaceport was largely intact and unharmed and as such soon began serving as a minor outpost for Wonosan forces in the Outer Rim due to its location between Sith space and their usual areas of operation. Eventually, in order to keep local attention away, they even officially purchased the island from the planetary government once a more permanent base had been established.
Being a reliable stop for transit between Sith space and the Outer Rim, this base on Wrea began growing and specializing into production as the Order grew and the need for proper equipment became more and more apparent. This would soon become one of the first real factories in use outside of the main areas of operation for the cult, the facility itself quickly being moved to the crater in order to have more room for operations as well as a consistent power supply via the river. The discovery of the crater's rich metal deposits led to the factory having a refinery and mine added as well, making it a generalized production facility and industrial plant.
By the time that Sanguine Defense Works was founded a decent chunk of the Order's production capabilities had been lost and the rest were at risk due to their controversial status in Sith space. This facility and the newly established company would be used to mask their rebuilding operations as well as provide a new avenue for their influence to spread, with the plant soon becoming a defensive bastion in its own right as it quickly became one of the most valuable assets to the Order and the main asset for SDW.
