SETTING INFORMATION

• Military Base Name: Fort Melvar
• Classification: Military Outpost
• Location: Dathomir
• Affiliation: Empire Reborn
• Population: Heavy
• Demographics: The vast majority of Fort Melvar's population is comprised of Imperial Military personnel which includes Soldiers, Officers, Engineers and Technicians.
• Accessibility: Located deep within the thick jungles of Dathomir and well isolated from any native settlements, Fort Melvar stands as a hidden bastion of Imperialism on Dathomir. Given it's strategic importance to the Empire's presence on Dathomir, access to the Imperial Outpost is severely restricted as it's exact location is restricted to authorized personnel only. Furthermore, the Outpost is heavily guarded and fortified with any intruders being killed on sight to ensure the secrecy of the base.
• Description: Fort Melvar is a secret Imperial outpost located on Dathomir. It was established as a pre-caution against any sort of negative reception from the local population to the Imperial presence in orbit of Dathomir and on Koratas, ensuring that the Empire would possess a quick means to retaliate against any sort of hostile action from the natives. In order to fulfill this purpose Fort Melvar is garrisoned by an Stormtrooper Regiment with hidden hangars and vast underground armories providing the local garrison with the necessary equipment to enforce the Empire's will should military action on Dathomir be necessary. Furthermore Fort Melvar is located as far away from any native settlement in places natives will rarely venture as to ensure the continued secrecy of the Empire's presence.

POINTS OF INTEREST

• Central Command Terminal | The Central Command Terminal is a large complex located on the base of a nearby cliff with part of it being built into the cliff. Connected to places such as the Exterior Assembly Area, the Underground Armories and the Hangar Bays, all operations within Fort Melvar are overseen from the Command Terminal where most of the day-to-day affairs occur within a Star Destroyer-style bridge on the third level of the Command Terminal.
• Barracks | The most largest and most notable facility within Fort Melvar is the barracks, where the entire Stormtrooper Garrison of the Imperial Outpost are housed. The Barracks contains a Cafeteria, Sleeping Quarters and all sorts of training facilities such as gyms, sparring facilities, shooting ranges and many more in order to keep the members of the garrison in top-shape and maintain their high-alertness so that they can quickly adapt to any situation.
• Hangar Bay | Hidden behind a nearby waterfall is a hangar bay with enough space to house up to 60 starfighter-sized starships. The Hangars represent one of two ways to access Fort Melvar while also being another means from which the Outpost can defend itself with it's own air wings and also project Imperial power across Dathomir by deploying Imperial troops onboard Gunships. The Hangar is connected to both the Command Terminal and the Armories both of whom are located within the cliffs bordering Fort Melvar.
• Underground Armories | Located deep within the cliff bordering the left side of Fort Melvar are vast Armories containing stockpiles of Imperial military equipment which include weapons, spare armor and other miscellaneous gear that the Imperial garrison will often use when carrying out their missions across the planet. Furthermore, the Armories are where all the Battle Droids are kept in storage and maintained at all times when they are not being used in combat.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
In his pursuit to establish himself at the forefront of Imperialism across the galaxy as the "Heir to the Empire", the former Lord-Regent of the Dark Empire, Marlon Sularen would begin the process of building a new powerbase independent of any Imperial faction from which he could accumulate more power and influence and further assert himself within the galaxy. Having chosen Dathomir to as his new base of operation at the center of his envisioned powerbase, Sularen would soon undertake the process of consolidating his presence as the Black Fifteen Shipyards were moved from Wistril to Dathomir and Mining Operations were established on the Dathomiri Moon of Koratas.

However with the decision to establish himself on Dathomir came the question of how the renewed Imperial presence on Dathomir would be viewed by the native populace, which historically have largely opposed Imperials with their last major interaction with Imperialism, being approximately three decades ago during the Third Imperial Civil War when the Nightsister Clans of Dathomir clashed with the invading forces of the New Imperial Order.

Thus, in order to ensure that the witches of Dathomir could not disrupt his plans, Sularen would proceed to establish a hidden base in a remote location within the jungles of Dathomir. Known as Fort Melvar, this secret base would be large enough to house a regiment of Imperial Stormtroopers and have enough space for 60 starfighter-sized starships while also being sufficiently fortified to withstand any sort of assault from hostile forces should the base's location be revealed to those who would oppose Sularen. As the Warlord of the Empire continues to pursue his ambitions to establish himself as the "Heir to the Empire", Fort Melvar remains a key asset in ensuring that Dathomir remains under his grip for the forseable future.
