Intent: To create a hidden location for the Medical Corp to operate
Classification: Converted Academy
Location: Odacer-Faustin
Affiliation: One Sith
Description:
The Crags: The area around the academy that were created as a waterless moat. With jagged rocks jutting out that would handle things falling over and provide a deep ravine for a first layer of protection against the sickness.
The Dorms: Converted for use by the stormtroopers and staff to use. Defensive autoturrets and precautions are set up to protect from an outbreak with biometric sensors at the doors and filters for the air supply.
The Library: The ancient and burned library has proven unusable for recovering scrolls or texts but once the rotted wooden body was removed and it was secured a large staging area for administration and processing.
Ritual Chamber: Uncovered from within the library and used to create a pit. The screams of victims and prisoners who are kept there to be used in things coming up from the air shafts.
Paddocks: The ancient animal paddocks that housed at one point tauntauns and have been converts. With equipment for monitoring the academy internal network and outside sensors.
The Cradle: The Roanoke cradle, a shell of steel and exposed electronics that keeps their prisoner ship. The towers on the top of the cradle being able to be defended with droids and auto turrets.
Landing Pad: The main entrance to the academy and base cleaned off and made for shuttles and personal ships to land. Defensive autoturrets ready and able to defend on the area as it goes towards the large staircase.
The Wall: Built on the edge of the academy and creating another additional layer of protection. The wall reaches twenty feet high and has towers interspaced with monitors and sensors to track movement inside and outside.
Central tower: The ruined tower has been cleaned away, the ruins and death it brought not forgotten but immortalized in a statue of a sith lord who hold four faces on his head. One displaying Darth Drear, the second displaying Darth Scaborous and the third displaying Seras before she had her life preservation suit. The fourth face is a mirror that looks down upon each sith who comes as a sort of motivational incentive that they can be added to such a thing.
History:
Built one thousand years before the Galactic Cold war. Darth Drear used the structure to discover the secrets of immortality through the use of the murakama orchid. A flower with both sentience and force sensitivity that when tinkered with sith alchemy created a ravenous hive minded infection that could spread across all species and sought to devour the galaxy. His ritual was never completed or rediscovered until Darth Scaborous found the chamber and continued to ritual with a jedi.
After the fall of the academy the world was blocked off, the danger of spreading the virus more or less a universally agreed upon bad move. That wouldn't stop graverobbers seeking secret sith treasure after a thousand years or so. Also a possibility of course and the stray sith or jedi seeking information for what really happened. The harsh snowy terrain proving a dangerous place until thousands of years later Seras arrived with a plan for the ancient academy.
With it still standing and what information they could get on its layout she decided to create it more like an underwater or space base on a planet. Working to make each section its own contained area with biometrics and scrubbers to detect signs of the virus or other infections. They began to slow process pretending to be a repair crew fixing the damaged quarantine beacon to keep people away. After of course sabotaging it to lure three jedi to the world.
She needed someone to play distraction while her people worked to slowly dig and set charges. Working to cut into the mountain around them and severs the academy from the range they were on through what she planned to become the crags. The rooms getting a thick heavy turadium blast door sealed with a biometric scanner to detect signs of the infection and ensure no one infected is admitted into the areas they have been and begun to fix up.
Filters and bioscanners in the ventilation systems allowing clean air to pump and be recycled within the network as they built it. Defense turrets deployed in every room in case of breach or outbreak. Flametroopers working to purge each section before construction droids are sent in to put up and reinforce with floor and wall bolts the blast doors. Remote droids to scout through the vents and watch for dangers or seal them off.
Slowly as the sith construction droids moved through the crags and wall were created to seal the academy off and snow was moved and set into filters to be melted down for a small supply of water that could be recycled for use with the prisoners. The ancient entry arch was kept with a new inscription being added upon it as they worked to make the ground safe for some use. Aside from infected there would become the need to deal with graverobbers.
That came with some small concealable automated anti air turrets that could be placed around and target anything coming to explore the academy that wasn't authorized. The research base was to be a secret and as far as the galaxy was concern the only thing on the world was death and sickness. Seras sought to keep this illusion with only a plasma bridge to connect the base to the rest of the world and to easily secure it. The controls within the insulated rooms on the lower rung.
As the Black Rose grew and developed under Venefica the research done at Al-Khali continued, Seras Goto's offices compared to others allowed it to remain isolated away from the others in the galaxy. Despite what was around the galaxy and around the facility she was able to keep it with Venefica by getting closer to the sith lord. Transferring soldiers as the Black Rose seemed to go into an identity crisis with Sanya trying to make the darksiders into lightsiders and Seras retreated back to Al-Khali.
Her seclusion with what soldiers she could get when they fell. Gathering one of the mobile labs Sanya developed for them to use on the world. The massive academy that had been converted going dark as far as communications were determined and staying out of the visble need. Seras could continue to work on the world in peace away from prying eyes. Most of the experimentation coming from it on what they could find with the doctor using her skilled members who had some extra protection from the remnants of black rose soldiers.
