SETTING INFORMATION

• Structure Name: DuPorcelen Logistics Corporation Lianna Headquarters
• Classification: Corporate HQ (includes apartments for employees or corporate guests, laboratories, and corporate office facilities)
• Location: Lianna
• Affiliation:
  • Character: Katherin DuPorcelen (CEO/Owner of DuPorcelen Logistics Corporation)
  • Faction: Empire of the Lost
• Accessibility: It is a large sky scraper present on the perimeter of the industrial sector of Lianna closest to the Imperial Capital facilities as part of the world's ecumanopolis. As a corporate headquarters, it is located in a rather public area. Granted, only those with identifications as either employees or guests may be permitted to enter due to the security measures taken. If one is invited, they will find entry swift, efficient, and hardly exhuasting at all. For those not invited, the facility's security precautions will make forced entry quite difficult.
• Description: The building is rather simplistic in comparison to others present in Lianna's cityscape. Located where the government sector and the industrial sector meet, the corporate headquarters is rather noticeable as part of that area's skyline. Its simple architecture harckens back to the corporations heritage from space once controlled by the Eternal Empire. Inside the building, however, it is far much like other structures on Lianna on the interior. Being surrounded with easily accessible advanced technology, the facility is softer and brighter compared to the darker Eternal aesthetic seen on the outside-facing structure.

POINTS OF INTEREST

• Speeder Hub: This is the place that functions as the primary point to enter this structure with this oriented to allow for general speeder traffic on Lianna's ecumenopolis to better facilitate general entry into the corporate headquarter's main lobby. There is a very noticable presence of Iron Legion manned security details throughout the hub's area.
• Main Lobby: This is the area of the corporate headquarters structure seen by most who either enter, or try to enter the DuPorcelen Logistics Corporation facility. It is a large space that greatly reflects Lianna's tone for design, possibly the most compared to other parts of the headquarters building. It is large and open with two entrances into it from the speeder hub outside on its level. Large windows are in place made from Glassteel that bring in much light from the outside into this room. Along the floor, within areas where much foot traffic is likely to be present, black runner carpets are placed. Additionally, there are four reception desks at each corner of the room, though oriented to the center. There are then four elevators present in this room as well that can take one to permitted levels (either lower or upper) in a matter of seconds. In areas between the runner carpets, reception desks, and elevator stations, sitting areas are arranged for those waiting to either get claerance as a guest for entry, or are waiting for a guest to arrive. A great amount of survellance is present in order to keep track of all entering or leaving the lobby in order to prevent potential attacks on the corproate headquarters. Additionally, there are Iron Legion security details present at every entrance/exit for this lobby.
• Office Facilities: On the floors above the main lobby, a bulk of the building is made up of facilities designated as office spaces for the numerous workers this facility has operating it. Whether it be foreign workers sent over from former Eternal Empire space, or workers hired from territory controlled by the Empire of the Lost, much of the genral offices are found here organized by departments. Managers for sections of workers within the departments have larger office spaces alloted to them. Meanwhile, the uppermost levels of this segment of the building are designated for executives to have their office centers at. Much serveillance is placed in this segment as well due to the fact that much of the employee activity is present in this protion compared to others. There is also a noticeable presence of security details found at every entrance/exit to this section on every floor within it.
• Laboratories: In the lower levels of the skyscraper's structure, there are laboratories. It is not widely known why these facilities were ordered to be constructed for the corporate headquarters, all that is known as that the CEO, Moff Katherin DuPorcelen, ordered them to be made when having the building constructed on Lianna shortly after her admittance into the Empire of the Lost's ranks. Only the CEO, and the hired researchers have clearance to know what is happening in the laboratories, let alone enter this section of the building, within the corporation's ranks. Some of these laboratories have machines akin to bacta tanks, others appear more for engineering and robotics purposes, and there are even a few designed for psychological research. Many theories circulate that there may be clones used to suppliment the Iron Legion, other theories are that the corporation may try to branch out into medical equipment, others think there may be experiments for more efficient management being set up, while others theorize that there are weapons and armor development programs for the Iron Legion itself to secure corporate assets.
• Apartments: In the levels above the office facilities, several floors are designated for housing employees of the corporation that work at this headquarters structure. The apartments, on average, are large enough to accomodate for small families, thus are somewhat comfortable arrangements for lodging. The majority of levels are reserved for general employees. Meanwhile, three levels below the uppermost two levels are designated for general managers. Those apartments, unlike the average ones, are much larger, and comparible to full homes with size and room count. The two uppermost levels of this structure are then given to the executives. These apartments are even bigger, and comparable to small mansions with their size and room count. Lastly, the uppermost floor of this structure would be the CEO's penthouse, which takes up almost the entire level. It is a massive residence with a rooftop garden and its own private speeder pad and shuttle pad.
• Security Facilities: Located in the levels below the main lobby's level, these facilities are designed for all things the security may need to be housed. There are numerous barracks for the guard patrols within this level, and that is what makes up the majority of faciltiies. However, there are also rooms where surveillance footage is sent to so that all activities that can be monitored in this facility are monitored. There is always an operator within these rooms at all times within the day and night on Lianna. Lastly, there are general living facilities for the guards (mess halls, offices for any Officers commanding security details, and meeting rooms).
• Upper Level Speeder Pads: The upper levels have their own speeder pads for easy evacuation and transport for those ranked as general managers or higher. Each manager or executive office and apartment has its own speeder pad. These are rather small in size, capable of fitting only one standard sized speeder.

SECURITY
High: Several things contribute to this rating for security of this place. For starters, the fact it is located on Lianna is a primary contributor. Given the fact that this is located on the Empire of the Lost's capital planet makes all security measures taken to secure the planet end up also protecting this building and its facilities by extent. However, as for the corporate headquarters itself, there are also various measures taken. The two primary systems for security would be that of numerous guard details patrolling nearly every major corridor of the building's facilities, as well as guarding every entry/exit point to the building, and the extensive surveillance system that monitors all activity possible within the vicintiy of the building and within the building itself. The guards are from the DuPorcelen Iron Legion, which means they are trained to a level equivalent of soldiers fit for a battlefield. Additonally, there are blast-doors at every entry/exit point, as well as every elevator vestibule for levels above the main lobby, every managerial and above office space entrance and exit points, and nearly every room or major corridor within the levels below the main lobby.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Upon integrating with the Empire of the Lost, DuPorcelen Logistics Corporation began constructing a secondary headquarters on the Empire's capital planet of Lianna. The integration with the Empire of the Lost was so that the corporation can gain connections through a new and rising power's networks, as well as expand its assets. Now completed, this large structure stands as another one of Lianna's ecumonopolis' sky scrapers. It's architecture is rather simplistic, but its interior relfects more of Lianna's motifs of design. On both inside and outside, this massive structure appears like a typical office building facility found on Lianna, however there are more things hidden beneath the surface that harcken back to its Eternal Empire heritage as well as any hidden agendas from the corporation's top leadership.

The main lobby is somewhat grand, yet simplistic in its design. The offices are not incredibly elaborate, but are functional and efficient. The apartments provided by this corproate headquarters can function as comfortable homes for any employees as well as function as housing for guests at the facility. However, beneath the main lobby's level are areas that hardly anyone sees, including employees of the corporation itself. The security facilities are directly below the main lobby's area, and are home to numerous soldiers from the DuPorcelen Iron Legion tasked with patrolling areas of the building. Below that, however, are laboratories that only the hired researchers and the CEO have access to (as of this post). Many rumor may circulate over what these laboratories are for, yet none can say for sure. There are shipments of equipment to these laboratories that fit for either engineering and robotics, biology, and-or psychological research.

Within the clearance, the laboratories are designed to develop additional resources for the DuPorcelen Logistics company. Some research teams are devoted to making more advanced medicinal stims for the soldiers of the Iron Legion, others to make more advanced blasters, weaponry, armor, and shields for vehicles and soldiers at the corporation's disposal, and then there are the research studies to improve workplace productivity within the corporation by using the employees at this facilities as subjects. However, the few people that have this clearance of knowledge are few, which leaves many to only speculate what may be going on within the laboratories of this building's lower levels.
