[*]Accessibility: Fort Derik'hur was accessible to contracted civilian workers and military personnel at the small airfield/space port structure near the Reach. There was also a large gated entrance that could be reached via land or airspeeder that also required ID. For special occasions such as large funerals or class graduations civilian family were allowed onto the fort to observe. Family members of active duty personell could also access the fort with as long as they had a family ID or were chaperoned by their military family member.
[*]Description: One of the largest Corellian military bases, Fort Derik'hur was a joint military base located in the Derik'hur Highlands on the planet of Talus. Far removed from most settlements and cities on the planet, Fort Derik'hur included not only the physical base but also several hundred kilometers of community space, forests, mountains, hills, and open fields which were used extensively by the base's rigorous training programs. Fort Derik'hur was one of a small number of Corellian military bases that housed both CorSec Troopers and Naval personnel. Officers for all branches also trained at the fort at some point during their training and schooling. Each branch was given its own sector of the Fort which kept integration limited but there were entertainment and leisure areas that allowed for intermingling between the recruits and stationed personnel. Scattered across the Confederation owned property were suburban communities, shopping centers, hangars, firing ranges and other miscellaneous military structures. Some of the Corellian Confederation's most prestigious special forces units trained at Fort Derik'hur and Corellian Naval Intelligence held a heavy presence at a satellite campus as well where they trained their own special forces units.

POINTS OF INTEREST
CorSec Troopers on punishment run through the main courtyard.
- Dormitories: Separated by Enlisted, Officer, Senior Officers, and High Command, the dormitories of Fort Derik'hur provide housing for the military personnel who are without families or spouses. The dormitories varied only slightly in size and could be quite accommodating, even at the Enlisted level, though Enlisted and Officer dormitories lacked amenities like the small kitchens that were in the Senior Officer and High Command rooms but did have things like private restrooms, refreshers, holonet connectivity and other basics one would find in modern small apartments. These rooms also often held visiting Military Officials.
- Derik'hur Dam: A highly defended outpost that doubled as one of the prime energy producing centers in the region. The Dam created a lake known as Lake Miranda and was at the edge of the territory that was claimed by Fort Derik'hur. The dam had a hanger for half a squadron of fighters and garages for a pair of scout walkers, a single tank, and various repulsorlift and water craft. It was located deeper into the mountains of the fort and the deep waters there were often used for special operations aquatic training. The waters became fridgid and often froze over during the winter.
- Advanced Sim Range: An advanced shooting range that utilized holograms to simulate rapid movement or static targets.
- The Reach: The Reach was an advanced training complex utilized by all branches of the Corellian Defense Force that was at the center of Fort Derik'hur's main district. Its basic amenities were open to family of stationed military personnel and guests of the fort. These included classrooms, shock boxing and hand-to hand gyms, weight and cardio rooms, a twelve lane 50 meter pool, showers, saunas, hot tubs, and a nutrient paste dispensary. To the enlisted and trainees however, the Reach has a different function. Past the family friendly health facility was a series of computer rooms, flight and combat simulators, shooting ranges, top of the line gyms, a fully staffed and equipped infirmary, and the training course for which the facility was named. The Reach itself was a massive complex that held several battlefields. Through the use of adjustable floor panels, repulsors, and atmospheric generators the fields could easily replicate a variety of terrains. Trainees were tested and trained here to utilize a variety of repulsorlift craft, walkers, weapons, and tactics.
- Fire Base Miranda: A fully operational military outpost. Made as both a fall back location and quick response facility it held its own contingent of transports, soldiers and weapons. It essentially acted as its own military base within the boarders of Fort Derik'hur and was placed midway between the Reach and Derik'hur Dam.
- CNI Firebase Shadow Fire: A CNI facility nestled in the mountains. It was guarded heavily by Corellian Darksabers and had extremely restricted access. It was rumored they had their own training facility that rivaled the Reach and was where secret CNI projects unfolded. Due to Fort Derik'hur's visibility it wasn't afforded the same level of secrecy as the base on Gus Tralva, however its lips were so tightly shut that it was an easily forgot location.
Security:
- Maximum: The joint military base Fort Derik'hur was one of the most heavily defended military bases in the Corellia System. With hangars dotting mountain sides and an active presence by CorSec Troopers. A contingent of CNI Darksabers also protected Intelligence assets at the satellite base. Various ground vehicles patrolled the outskirts of the base and the main military hub was protected by anti-starfighter turbolaser turrets and a robust deflector shield generators at the Reach and Derik'hur Dam. The boarders of Fort Derik'hur were marked with proximity alert pylons that were keyed to fauna but would trigger a silent alarm if other movement or military ID signatures were detected. This was both to prevent incursion and desertion.

Established as a training facility for CorSec sometime before the fall of the Republic at the hands of the Sith Empire and shut down during the One Sith's occupation of the system, Fort Derik'hur was reactivated and expanded on as part of the reintroduction of the Corellian Defense Force. Its relatively remote location on the planet allowed for an easy to hide base of operations after the Galactic Alliance fell and was made the de facto headquarters of the Corellian Resistance movement against the Sith Empire's occupational forces. Several years after the New Republic aided Corellia in freeing itself from the Sith occupiers, Fort Derik'hur remained one of the most active military bases in the system and gave way to several of the most intense training programs in the New Republic.
After its introduction into the New Republic, Fort Derik'hur was staffed to capacity and further expanded on. Corellian Naval Intelligence established its own satelite base just outside of the boarders of the fort and began training its first class of Darksabers and Bloodstripes. Another notable Corellian unit that was trained at Fort Derik'hur was the first and second classes of Corellian Hell Jumpers, a joint special unit within CorSec and CNI meant to explore, map, and ultimately build a trail through the Netherworld to other Netherworld gates. The prestige of these units brought hard standards to the regular CorSec and Navy troops trained there and ushered in a reputation for having the most robust and difficult training of all the Corellian military academies and training facilities.
