Points of Interest:
- MAIN HOUSE;
Where Nathan lives. It's wooden with Durasteel roof and a deck. Got a Kitchen/ Dining room, Living room, and Bedroom. Think very country and rustic.
- BARN WORKSHOP; FORGE:
Where materials and Jacks ships are commonly stored. It also contains a forge, with hammer and anvil, blast furnace and a salvage smelter. The barn was a late addition to the homestead. When Jack got into crafting he decided he needed a dual purpose are to store and craft. The Result was acquiring cheap salvage, melting it down and putting up a recycled steel structure. - It now serves as the armory, and primary manufacturer of the Clans Arms and Armor. It is also a repair shop for items and ships!
- The Enclave:
REMOVED!; Now a Farm/Grain Building.
- HOUSING
This is housing for various guests or Family & Clan members who choose to live and help out on the homestead. Prefab made of durasteel so it's a bit more solid. The housing quarters afford people everything they need. Beds, a common area, a Kitchen as well as refresher facilities. Set up with the common area and kitchen in the center.
- THE LAKE:
Primary source of water. A lake stocked with fish!
- ROADS AND FIELDS:
Basic dirt roads between sections of the homestead. Fields where crops are grown as well. The most prominent of Jacks crops happen to be Wheat, Vegetables and some rarer species of herbs and fauna. There is nothing significant as of yet grown on the farm, just your basic foodstuffs.
- THE RIVER:
A small river turns to a stream which passes through the property. The river is clear and sparkly. Normally fish inhabit the river during the hotter seasons and then migrate to larger bodies of water during the slower seasons. There is bridge of hand hewn wooden beams built over the River where folks can cross.
- FENCE LINE
Right now a basic rough shod of stone walls. Tall enough to see impede the flow of bad folks,but low enough to see outside the farmstead. Essentially runs the length of the compound just outside the map above.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
1.) Creation
When Vassara Raxis first settled on Mandalore she bought a small homestead with fifty acres outside of Kedlabe. Back then it was simple. Two fields, a river and a well. She lived on Mandalore for a brief time whilst she served under the Red Legion, stashing her valuables and Datacrons all about the place. During a Raid on an Underground stations she was killed, protecting the personal files of many many Underground agents.
2.) Jack
When Jack returned to Mandalore after learning of his mother and her death he assumed control of the homestead. The first crops were sold to procure funds to expand the settlement. When homestead passed down to Jack whom added fifty acres and several other features. The Fence line was upgraded as well as some turrets added for protection from bandits and feral creatures.
Then a Barn and Enclave were constructed, allowing Jack to do more than just farm. On the Homestead he crafted, lived, farmed and trained when he was not out answering the call of various folks around the Galaxy.
Considering the plans Jack had for the future he added extra defenses around the perimeter. The housing was the last addition. Hoping to start his own clan one day it was cobbled together from a heap of salvage. Jack spent a while installing everything himself, using recycled durasteel plates and old tools.
The fields were re-tilled and he sold his first rotation of crops. A few extra plots were constructed for the addition of new crops.
Shortly after the start of the Mandalorian Civil War, the homestead was all but abandoned as Clan Raxis followed [member="Gray Raxis"] out of Mandalore and into the worlds of the Raxian Empire, brief as it was. Jack exiled for facing off against Ra Viszla and branded a traitor died on Exocron in hiding. He never revisited the place before his end.
3.) Eliza
Eliza Raxis revisited the homestead after several years of it abandonment. She managed to clean up the place, following the cataclysm of Mandalore, though the land was mostly destroyed. What was left was salvaged, to include old family heirlooms left behind. She lived for a time at the homestead, but then departed to head up the Explorers Guild and several other organizations.
During this time it lay dormant, untouched by any hand or peoples.
4.) Nathan
Nathan Raxis managed to reclaim the homestead shortly after his return to Mandalore. Using a deed from his aunt Eliza, he fixed the place up, and reset the fence-lines and turrets. The Conclave was removed as Nathan had sworn of the Force in an effort to be one with the Manda, and follow the Clans laws and rules. The forge was updated, and expanded. Extra farm lots were added, and pens for animals were brought and put together.
After a time wayward clansmen of the Raxis Clan began to filter home into the terraformed and lush lands, now rallying around Nathan and his wife Alleria.
The homestead is now in their hands.
