HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Imperial Holdfast. They were massive deep dock facilities originally intended to supplement the construction power of Kuat-Entralla's efforts in creating the basis for the New Imperial Order's new war machine. However, after the death of Emperor Irveric Tavlar , the heir to the burgeoning empire began to consolidate power. Warlords were slowly done away with and oversectors designated. Fleets were reorganized and legions of Stormtroopers were shifted. The Imperial Holdfast was another way of bringing power closer to the throne. Changed from simple deep dock facilities, the Imperial Holdfasts were equipped with powerful long-range communications equipment patrol hangars, and the number of docks was tripped making the simple repair docks into massive logistical hubs for what was to be Fel's new Empire. A single Imperial Holdfast would service an entire oversector, providing dedicated servicing docks, mandated check-ins for the Empire's patrol and local roving fleets, a local FLEETCOM base, and a universal central order processing location. With these he planned to keep careful eyes on his Moffs and Grand Moffs, forcing them all to go through the Holdfast for most of their fleets' needs. They were also meant as heavily defensible locations should the Empire come under attack from without, or if Rurik's hunches and information proved correct, within.

Unfortunately, he would not live to see the glory of his own Empire, but the Holdfasts were complete, one for each Oversector. The new Lord Regent has seen fit to retain the services of the Holdfasts. Iron Shaper, the Holdfast for Oversector I, was constructed over the penal colony of Horuz. Political prisoners, murderers, rebels, and Sith sympathizers were gathered there, forced to work the mines and the debris of old Horuz where the materials would then be shipped to Iron Shaper for processing and use in maintaining the fleets of the Empire. This near-constant stream of resources made Iron Shaper one of the more productive holdfasts in the Empire and one of the most active.
