SETTING INFORMATION

• Military Base Name: Maelstrom Station
• Classification: Secluded Rebel Base
• Location: Jabiim
• Affiliation: Ari Naldax , Ari's Rogues
• Population: Sparse
  • The base's population is made up entirely of the pilots, spies, mechanics, and planners that make up Ari's Rogues, making up enough people to keep a couple of squadrons of fighters and a few teams of insurgents.
• Demographics: Being as Ari is herself New Alderaanian and the effort is lead by New Alderaanians, it should come as no surprise that the majority of the personnel on the base are Human or Near-Human (incl some Chiss), though generally any race whose world still has an Imperial presence could likely be found here.
• Accessibility: Hidden within a muddy jungle marsh in one of the stormiest parts of already-stormy Jabiim, Maelstrom Base is likely only to be found by those who already know the location or carry out an extremely extensive search or scan of the area. The virtual impossibility of using repulsorlift technology on the planet makes this base even more inaccessible to all but the most determined of attackers.
• Description: [ Provide a description of this base at a glance. More in-depth descriptions can be added in points of interest. ]

POINTS OF INTEREST
[ What areas within the base are significant? Give a description of each point listed. ]

SECURITY
High

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a description on the base's history here. Detail how it came to be constructed and why. Talk about the people/factions involved in this base's creation; and what role it plays. For historical bases, if you so desire, you can include historical events from the Chaos Canon timeline or board history where appropriate. ]
