SETTING INFORMATION
  • Structure Name:
    • Ophidian Consolidated Central Rig
    • The Trawl
  • Classification: Crime Syndicate Headquarters | Ocean Rig
  • Location: Ando
  • Affiliation:
  • Accessibility: The Trawl is not exactly hidden, although it isn't an advertised location either. Travel to the rig is an entirely different story, however, with only authorized vessels even being allowed to enter close to the Trawl's nautical and air space. This is made capable by the fact that the Trawl and the waters around it are privately owned, purchased from the Andoan government for a large amount of money.
  • Description: The Trawl.

    The public operating facility of Ophidian Consolidated and the secret headquarters of its more covert crime syndicate, Ophidian Dusk, the Trawl is a primarily scientifically oriented base and designed to appear as a civilian facility as to avoid scrutiny from the Confederacy government in which Ando resides. The Trawl is a multipurpose facility; it hosts shipyards for the construction of Ophidian Dusk-related starcraft, factory and laboratory space for the facilitation of weapons and tech for the crime syndicate to use, holding cells for those the Crime Syndicates deemed must be silenced, living quarters, training and social spaces for the Crime Syndicate.

    Built halfway-submerged in the thrashing seas of Ando, the Trawl as a facility has adapted to better function in the storms and tidal waves that Ando throws against it. The Trawl has both underwater docking facilities and above-water hangar bays and landing pads on which both types of vehicles can land or dock. The Arcology, a massive structure within the Trawl, is used to simulate a number of different biomes and environments for the development and study of different weapons and technology.

    Altogether, the Trawl as a facility is the perfect base of operation for the mysterious Ophidian Dusk syndicate and its enigmatic leader, the Nomad.
POINTS OF INTEREST
  • The Solarium: The Solarium serves as the public reception wing of the Trawl, and is a clean, immaculate, and modern part of the facility used to maintain the syndicates cover as Ophidian Consolidated. In this area, Serpents dressed in Ophidian Consolidated uniforms work and give presentations to guests or other corporations who come to 'tour' the facility.
  • Landing Pads: Situated above the water and perfectly exposed to the elements, the landing pads of the Trawl come in a variety of sizes in order to accommodate different sizes of ships and landing craft. Various landing pads are situated throughout the facility and give access to a wide variety of locations.
  • Subsurface Docks: Below the surface of Ando's churning seas, the subsurface docks are used by submersible craft to gain access to the Trawl. The docks vary from direct hatches into the facility and underwater hangars from which craft can move into and are kept dry from the waters of Ando.
  • Shipyards: The shipyards of the Trawl are furnished with all of the technology that Roble Manufacturing has to offer, making them extremely capable despite their limited size. Ships are constructed in specially-made magnetic-sealed chambers to prevent the elements of Ando from doing damage to the partially built ships.
  • Factory Space: The factory space of the Trawl are facilities dedicated to the manufacture and production of Ophidian Dusk technology, components, weapons, and other creations of the syndicate.
  • FutureLabs: The research and division wing of the Trawl, the FutureLabs are dedicated to making affordable weather technology that will help backwater worlds across the galaxy! In truth, the laboratories of the Trawl are dedicated to developing weapons and technology for the Ophidian Dusk syndicate. Occasionally the facility will be requisitioned by Roble Manufacturing, during to the official front of Ophidian Dusk being publicly owned by the company, but for the most part, the Trawl's laboratories are left to their own devices.
  • The Arcology: One of the largest and most expensive structures of the Trawl, the Arcology is an expansive eco-dome that supports a wide variety of artificially-supported environments. The Arcology is used for a wide variety of experiments and other purposes and is one of the most ambitious facilities created on the Trawl. Being inside the arcology is almost like being transported to another world, with perfect environmental simulators and physical additions such as fauna, flora, inorganic scenery used to create an authentic experience.
SECURITY
High
: Although it is the semi-top secret base of a dangerous criminal syndicate, the defenses of the Trawl are rather tame. As it is publically registered and billed as a scientific, civilian research facility, the Trawl has no large armaments or weapon emplacements in the case of attack. This means that if a concentrated security force were to assault the facility, they would not find obstruction from any large artillery or anti-air emplacements. However, the Trawl features numerous different defensive technologies provided by Roble Manufacturing, such as shields, field defense modules, security droids, and electronic countermeasure packages. In addition, travel to and from the Trawl is strictly monitored and controlled, as well as the air and sea space surrounding the facility.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Trawl, the mysterious headquarters of the Ophidian Dusk crime syndicate. Built into the crashing seas of Ando, the Trawl is as about remote as you can get; a series of connected platforms and facilities surrounded by nothing but waves, waters, and storms.

The facility was created by Roble Manufacturing, initially as a testing area for new biopharmaceuticals that the Fondor-based company would be able to produce. However, the construction and maintenance of the facility was far more than the company anticipated, and so Alban Roble, eager to ensure that this project would not be lost to the waves of Ando nor his corporate priorities, struck a deal with the up-and-coming Ophidian Consolidated, a start-up company that promised to be able to produce what Roble wanted. Ophidian Consolidated bought into the facility and a subsidiary agreement with Roble Manufacturing, and thus the Trawl came to be.

Of course, Ophidian Consolidated, despite its appearances, was not a friendly, selfless corporation looking to better the future for the galaxy. In reality it was a public front for the mysterious Ophidian Dusk crime syndicate. Officially, and legally, Roble Manufacturing and Alban Roble are unaware of the Trawl's true ownership, and for now, there is no reason to change that. Roble Manufacturing gets their experiments and prototypes, while Ophidian Dusk gets their headquarters.

The perfect definition of a symbiotic relationship.
