[*]Accessibility: Nestled between Forests and the open fields, this location is accessible by air and land. Four entry points in total, two being land based.
[*]Description: At a glance Fort Spear appears to be a giant blockhouse contribution of several acres. It is essentially a multi leveled square fortress, bristling with launch tubes and hangars mid level, and defensive guns at the top and ground corners of the structure. Deck Cannons also protrude from the mid level.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Spear Armory: Where a majority of the weapons, and tech is kept. It sports enough arms and munitions to maintain the bases defense in most situations, save a multi-year siege.
- The Shield Generators: Hidden deep in the core complex, near the Reactor, these shield gennys are the primary defense for the base, protecting it from orbital bombardment and ground based ranged attacks.
- The Ballroom: Every Base need recreation, that's where the ballroom comes in. Lavish and decadent it sports the colors of the The Corporate Protectorate and multiple levels of banisters overlooking the central dance floor.
- The Barracks: Simple enough, a very large barracks where the Armed forces and staff of the base can sleep, shave, shower and eat.
- Command Room: An isolated room with blast shielding and blast doors, this acts a s a central ground based hub with which Commanders can reach out any part of The Corporate Protectorate, provided their relay satellites are intact. Complete with a Tactical Operations Center, Holotank and many modes of communications. Also where the guns are controlled from.
- Weapons Emplacements: Across the top, the middle decks and the lower corners are assorted weapons turrets to bolster the defenses of the base.
- Motorpool: At the bottom level where all ground based vehicles are kept. Speeders Armor units etc.
- The Hangar and Launch tubes: Hangars that link to magnetic launch tubes. 500 Fighters are stored here, their pilots on standby to defend the Base and the citizens of The Corporate Protectorate.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Spear base was established shortly after Batorine joined hands with the Corporate Protectorate
Day to day life at the base is easygoing. When drills are not being run, approx a quarter of the population is on shore leave, mingling with the local cities and villages.
Much of the personnel remain behind on the base, and it features several large barracks, as well as housing for the Senior Officer ranks. The most notable addition is the Armory, which holds thousands of weapons and rounds, enabling the garrison to mount a stalwart defense against any attack.
The majority of the population looks to Fort Spear and feels safety. With regular Combat Air Patrols and such a large presence of forces, it marks a determined effort by The Corporate Protectorate to keep its citizens safe.
