- Structure Name: Commenor Juvenile Asset Reclamation / Indoctrination Facility - Node: CMR-JARIF-07
- Classification: Sub-Adult Processing Complex / Indoctrination & Development Node / Covert Training Enclave
- Location: Commenor
- Affiliation: The Kainate
- Accessibility: CMR-JARIF-07 exists completely outside legal registries, hidden beneath a chain of derelict industrial reclamation complexes abandoned during the final years of Carnifex's extraction campaign. Located far from Commenor's major urban centers and trade corridors, the surface structures appear as rusting processing towers and collapsed freight depots long written off as economically nonviable. Access is achieved through concealed blast-door shafts buried beneath slag fields, decommissioned cargo lifts disguised as wreckage, and narrow tunnel networks mapped only within encrypted Kainate navigation grids. No civilian routes lead directly to the site, and local authorities rarely patrol the area due to lingering environmental hazards left behind by the occupation. Clandestine agents periodically erase sensor anomalies and falsify satellite telemetry to ensure the installation remains invisible to planetary oversight. Movement within the facility is tightly controlled through biometric locks and compartmentalized corridors, ensuring that even internal personnel rarely perceive the full scale of the Nursery.
- Description: CMR-JARIF-07 is not a school in appearance or function, but a hidden engine of generational indoctrination concealed beneath the skeleton of Commenor's abandoned industrial past. Constructed gradually over decades by sleeper elements descended from collaborationist engineers and administrators, the Nursery occupies a sprawling subterranean complex carved into former extraction tunnels and reinforced with ferrocrete plating. Above ground, wind-scoured processing towers and corroded conveyor gantries mask the facility's entrances, creating the impression of a long-dead industrial zone untouched since Carnifex's withdrawal. The isolation is deliberate - far from population centers, the Nursery operates beyond scrutiny, sustained by discreet supply drops routed through falsified Trade Federation shipping records.
The upper levels of the complex consist of intake chambers, dormitory vaults, and conditioning corridors designed with stark, functional precision. Lighting is dim and directional, reinforcing the sense of enclosure and removing any connection to the natural environment above. Children brought here are immediately immersed in a controlled reality shaped entirely by Kainate doctrine. Walls are unadorned except for austere geometric patterns derived from Epicanthix shrine architecture, creating a ritualistic atmosphere without overt religious imagery. Surveillance nodes embedded within the ceiling monitor posture, speech patterns, and emotional responses, feeding data to hidden analytics cores that refine training protocols in real time.
Deeper within the Nursery, the architecture becomes increasingly severe. Gravity-regulated endurance chambers, soundproofed training arenas, and sensory deprivation vaults occupy the lower strata, each designed to cultivate resilience and absolute obedience. Instructional spaces resemble tactical command centers rather than classrooms, where recruits study strategy, infiltration doctrine, and the mythologized history of Carnifex's conquests. Unlike frontier Nurseries that rely on overt displays of power, CMR-JARIF-07 instills loyalty through isolation and repetition, slowly reshaping identity until the outside galaxy becomes an abstract concept rather than a remembered reality.
At the lowest level lies the strategic heart of the facility - an encrypted archive complex preserving occupation-era schematics, sleeper-agent genealogies, and long-term cultural analysis of Commenor. Here, advanced trainees undergo immersive simulations replicating political unrest, urban infiltration, and covert operations within civilized space. The Nursery's clandestine design ensures that its existence remains deniable even to many within the Kainate itself, functioning as a hidden seed planted decades earlier, waiting patiently beneath the ruins until the moment the way had been prepared.
- Derelict Processing Yards: A sprawl of rusted refinery towers, collapsed conveyor frames, and slag-strewn loading platforms left over from Carnifex's extraction era. The structures are structurally unstable and contaminated with lingering industrial toxins, discouraging civilian scavengers and municipal reclamation efforts. Concealed beneath debris fields are armored blast hatches and disguised cargo lifts leading to the Nursery's upper levels. Motion sensors and low-power surveillance arrays are embedded within broken tower spines, passively scanning for unauthorized approach.
- Intake Sector: The first internal chamber encountered upon descent, this reinforced processing level is stark and clinical. New arrivals are catalogued, stripped of identifiers, and assigned internal designations. Personal effects are incinerated in sealed reclamation furnaces originally built for ore refinement. The chamber walls are bare ferrocrete, illuminated by harsh overhead strips that eliminate shadow and warmth, emphasizing psychological severance from prior identity.
- Dormitory Rings: Arranged in concentric tiers carved into old extraction shafts, these vaults house children according to developmental phase rather than age. Each ring contains minimal furnishing: stacked rest alcoves, communal sustenance dispensaries, and observation apertures concealed behind blackened transparisteel. Environmental controls regulate temperature and lighting cycles independent of the surface day-night rhythm, severing awareness of time beyond the facility.
- The Assembly Chamber: A cylindrical hall built within a hollowed smelting silo, reinforced and reshaped into a ritual assembly space. The architecture subtly incorporates Epicanthix geometric symmetry - ascending steps converging toward a central platform used for indoctrination rites, oath recitations, and disciplinary exemplars. Acoustic engineering amplifies a speaker's voice into resonant overtones, creating an atmosphere of authority and inevitability without overt iconography.
- Office of the High Patroness: Located within a secured administrative tier overlooking several of the Nursery's core operational sectors, the office of Syrise Kaedra serves as both a command center and private sanctum from which the High Patroness oversees the facility's activities. The chamber is austere yet deliberate in its design, furnished with dark durasteel surfaces, subdued lighting, and holoterminals tied into the Nursery's surveillance network, allowing Kaedra to observe training vaults, dormitory rings, and conditioning chambers in real time. From this position she directs indoctrination protocols, reviews behavioral analytics, and personally selects individuals she deems promising or problematic for closer attention. Unlike many administrators who rule from a distance, Kaedra is known to summon trainees to her office for private interviews and psychological evaluation, taking a direct and often unsettling role in shaping the minds and loyalties of those raised within the hidden institution.
- Tactical Simulation Galleries: A network of modular training arenas where holoprojection grids recreate urban environments, governance chambers, or battlefield conditions. Unlike overt military academies, these simulations focus heavily on infiltration, manipulation, and covert coordination. Advanced trainees rehearse scenarios involving political destabilization, sleeper activation, and strategic subversion within planetary institutions.
- Maternal Conditioning Chamber: Located at the far terminus of the facility's inner medical wing, the Maternal Containment Chamber is a sealed clinical suite designed specifically for the controlled monitoring of high-value pregnancies. The room is stark and immaculate, its polished white surfaces broken only by diagnostic panels, life-support monitors, and a reinforced medical bed fixed at the center of the chamber. Concealed ports in the ceiling house automated surgical and sampling apparatuses capable of performing procedures without the presence of medical staff, while a lattice of biosensors continuously tracks the health of both mother and unborn child. Environmental conditions are precisely regulated - temperature, air composition, and lighting calibrated to maintain ideal gestational stability - yet the chamber remains unmistakably a prison, its single blast-door guarded externally and its occupant restrained against any attempt at escape.
- Conditioning Vaults: Located at the deepest operational tier, these chambers regulate gravity, atmospheric density, and sensory input. Former ore-processing tunnels have been converted into endurance corridors where trainees navigate shifting terrain under variable conditions. Adjacent sensory deprivation pods are used to test psychological stability and reinforce internalized doctrine without external stimulus.
- The Archive: An encrypted data vault positioned beneath the primary vault rings, shielded within layers of industrial plating and signal-dampening alloys. The Archive contains preserved records from Carnifex's occupation of Commenor, sleeper-agent genealogies, and predictive sociopolitical models. Only select upper-tier trainees and senior operatives are granted supervised access, reinforcing their sense of belonging to a long, deliberate strategy rather than an isolated facility.
- Subterranean Hangar: A narrow launch corridor carved into bedrock beyond the main vault complex. Shielded blast doors open only during scheduled supply transfers conducted under falsified freight routing. Small stealth-configured transports dock briefly before retreating into deep-space vectors that avoid major trade lanes. The hangar is designed for rapid evacuation and compartmentalized destruction protocols should planetary authorities ever detect anomalies.
- High - Security at CMR-JARIF-07 is built first and foremost upon obscurity and environmental deterrence. The Nursery lies beneath a belt of derelict industrial infrastructure left over from Carnifex's extraction campaigns, an area deliberately avoided by Commenorian authorities due to lingering contamination, unstable structures, and the economic impracticality of reclamation. Sleeper operatives embedded within regional administrative networks periodically manipulate survey records and satellite telemetry to maintain the appearance of a long-abandoned industrial wasteland. Passive sensor arrays hidden within collapsed silos, rusted conveyor frames, and slag piles monitor the surrounding kilometers for movement, while encrypted signal dampeners suppress abnormal energy readings that might otherwise draw investigative attention.
Within the subterranean complex itself, security relies on strict compartmentalization and constant surveillance. Every corridor junction and chamber is governed by biometric locks and internal access hierarchies, ensuring personnel can move only within narrowly defined operational zones. Observation nodes embedded throughout the facility continuously track movement, posture, and vocal activity, feeding data to automated monitoring systems capable of flagging behavioral irregularities in both staff and trainees. Custodian Corps personnel - drawn from experienced Koshûtaral Sentinel cadres - patrol critical sectors in rotating patterns designed to prevent predictability, while concealed blast doors and segmented bulkheads allow entire levels of the facility to be isolated in seconds.
In the unlikely event the site is discovered, the Nursery is equipped with layered emergency countermeasures intended to protect the installation or erase its existence entirely. Reinforced blast shutters can seal the main shafts leading to the surface, while internal defense systems deploy automated sentry units and suppression fields across key corridors. Evacuation tunnels branching from the lowest levels connect to concealed landing cavities where small stealth transports can extract senior personnel and critical data caches. Should containment become impossible, demolition charges embedded within the surrounding tunnel network can collapse large sections of the complex, burying the Nursery beneath thousands of tons of industrial ruin and leaving little trace of the operation that once existed beneath the abandoned factories of Commenor.
The origins of CMR-JARIF-07 can be traced back to the catastrophic events surrounding the Sith assault on the Commenor System Alliance during the conflict remembered as the Siege of Commenor. As Sith forces tightened their blockade and brought overwhelming military force to bear upon the system, Commenor's defenses rapidly collapsed under the weight of Imperial fleets and war machines. The destruction of the city of Munto and the subsequent capitulation of Queen Kay Arenais marked the decisive end of organized resistance. With the signing of the Treaty of Commenor under duress, the Sith Empire secured the right to occupy the planet indefinitely, demobilize its armed forces, and impose an Imperial administrative structure over the once-independent world.
In the years immediately following the treaty, Commenor became a focal point of Sith extraction and consolidation efforts along the borders of the Sith-Imperial Mandate. Imperial forces stripped vast quantities of industrial resources from the planet's outer regions, converting entire districts into processing zones and logistical depots supporting Sith expansion deeper into the sector. Massive refinery complexes and industrial reclamation sites appeared across Commenor's hinterlands, constructed rapidly by Sith engineers and overseen by military prefects loyal to Darth Carnifex. These facilities reshaped large swaths of the planet's landscape, leaving behind polluted wastelands and unstable infrastructure that would later be abandoned once the extraction quotas were met.
Although the formal occupation of Commenor eventually ended as Sith strategic priorities shifted elsewhere, Carnifex did not entirely relinquish his influence over the world. As Imperial forces withdrew, a number of covert measures were implemented to ensure that Commenor would remain vulnerable to future manipulation. Sleeper agents - drawn from local collaborators, administrators, and industrial workers who had prospered under Sith rule - were quietly embedded within the planet's social and bureaucratic fabric. These operatives preserved access to abandoned extraction zones and secretly maintained encrypted communication channels tied to distant Kainate command networks.
Decades later, those dormant networks were quietly reactivated. Using the forgotten infrastructure left behind by the Sith extraction era, sleeper operatives began converting the ruins of several abandoned industrial complexes into hidden subterranean facilities. Beneath rusting refinery towers and collapsed ore-processing silos, construction crews expanded the old mining tunnels into reinforced vaults and training chambers. The resulting installation - later designated CMR-JARIF-07 - was designed to function as a clandestine Nursery, a place where abducted or trafficked children could be raised entirely outside Commenorian society and molded into loyal servants of the Kainate.
The Nursery's establishment served a dual strategic purpose. First, it provided a secure location from which the Kainate could cultivate future soldiers, operatives, and Sith candidates without drawing attention from the wider galaxy. Second, its placement on Commenor represented a deliberate symbolic act: a reminder that the Sith conquest had never truly ended, merely receded beneath the surface. By planting a generational indoctrination facility beneath the scars of the old occupation, Carnifex ensured that Commenor itself would unknowingly sustain the seeds of future Sith-Imperial resurgence.
Over time, the Nursery expanded gradually as new cohorts of children were brought in through covert trafficking routes facilitated by criminal networks and corporate intermediaries sympathetic to Sith interests. The abandoned industrial zone provided ideal cover for such activity; few civilians ventured into the contaminated wastelands, and local authorities rarely investigated the region due to its hazardous conditions and low economic value. Beneath the overgrown ruins, the facility's vaults filled with training chambers, dormitory rings, and indoctrination halls where generations of recruits were quietly raised.
To the wider population of Commenor, the industrial wasteland remains little more than a relic of a painful historical era - a reminder of the Sith occupation that once ravaged their world. Yet far below the vine-choked silos and rusted conveyor towers, CMR-JARIF-07 continues to operate in secrecy. Hidden within the very ruins left behind by the Sith Empire's exploitation of the planet, the Nursery stands as a lingering shadow of Carnifex's conquest, waiting patiently for the day its hidden generations may be called upon to reshape the fate of Commenor once again.
