- Canon: Hoth
- Permissions: NA
- Links: NA
- Structure Name: Outpost Andor
- Classification: Covert Military Outpost
- Location: Hoth
- Affiliation: The High Republlic
- Accessibility: Extremely limited. Outpost Andor is completely hidden beneath the surface of Hoth’s Icefall Plains, accessible only via a secure subterranean tunnel system and encrypted transceiver access via the Christophsis Hypergate. Its position is concealed from surface scans, and its transmissions are tightly regulated through stealth communication nodes.
- Description: A concealed and hardened installation carved beneath layers of glacial ice, Outpost Andor is a self-contained command and listening post designed to house a small garrison and intelligence team. The base operates under constant stealth protocols, its systems and emissions masked to prevent detection by Sith-Imperial patrols. It acts as the High Republic’s foothold deep behind enemy lines.
- Command Center: The central nerve of the base, hosting encrypted comms relays, surveillance monitoring, and planning stations for ongoing operations.
- Operations Bunker: A secure war room for GAHR field officers and Intelligence operatives to coordinate missions within Sith-Imperial space.
- Cryogenic Barracks: Due to the climate and need for resource conservation, garrison personnel rotate in shifts through cold-adapted sleeping pods.
- Hangar Access Shaft: A concealed landing zone buried within a crevasse, used for supply drops and covert personnel insertion/extraction.
- Hypergate Relay Node: A specialised encrypted link to the Christophsis Hypergate, ensuring Outpost Andor's isolation and secure communication.

Outpost Andor was established in secret following the High Republic’s discovery and stabilisation of the Christophsis Hypergate network. With Hoth being one of the connected nodes, its remote and desolate environment offered the perfect cover for a forward operations post within Sith-Imperial controlled territory. Constructed by joint teams from the GAHR Engineering Corps and Republic Intelligence, the base was designed to operate off the grid with minimal detection risk.
Named after Cassian Andor, a legendary figure of the legendary Galactic Rebellion known for his covert actions against the Empire, the base lives up to its namesake as a cold shadow behind enemy lines. It serves both as a safehouse and a command node for reconnaissance, infiltration, and emergency strike coordination. The outpost remains a closely guarded secret, with even many High Republic officials unaware of its existence, as it plays a dangerous game of surveillance and sabotage deep in hostile territory.
