- Structure Name: The Harper Center
- Classification: Laboratory (Publically) │ Sith Testing Facility (Secretly)
- Location: Barbatos
- Affiliation: Blackwell Industries │ Los Muertos
- Accessibility:
Taking up the equivilent of a square block, the facility is accessible from not only the air for ease of transportation and offloading supplies on a personalized docking facility, but the additional support of loading bays on street level; along with general walk in areas. While in the middle of the city and readily available to access, getting in can be a bit more of a worry, as the security for the facility is extreme. Biometric scanners, ID cards, and numerous biological scanners to ensure no synth get through all serve to protect the secrets inside, meaning only those with permissions are allowed to reside within.
[*]Description:
- The Harper Center is a large complex, though not the largest on Barbatos by far; falling perfectly in line with its urbanized horizon and smog filled skies. Its general aesthetic is rough, industrial, and well established to impose a sense of intimidation on a world otherwise known for its cartels and booming economy. Massive pillars support the building, as its nature slowly tapers towards the top, various jagged edges and seemingly disconnected staccato instances of beauty forming a rudimentary aesthetic that on a macro level is pleasing to the eyes, without betraying its attention.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Main Research Facility -
On street level, and some levels beneath the facility, its primary concern is the innumerable laboratories capable of pumping out research into the study of entire genomes. Hundreds of scientists man the laboratories, filled with the absolute most advanced technology available on the galactic market to not only study genetic sequences, but alter them accordingly; with the additional benefit of a supercomputer designed specifically to predict and account for every possible response from the genetic code should a change be made.
This mixture of both digital and physical attributes helps to create one of the leading laboratories in the galaxy for genetic augmentation and research, very much so in part due to the technologic premeasure to save the company millions in possible experimentation costs. On the upper levels of the facility, various offices also exist, including some of the higher echelons of the Fringe Technology Division of Blackwell Industries.
[*]Underground Sith Laboratory -
- Beneath the entire structure, lies the true secret of the facility. Deep beneath the earth, on a single well guarded turbolift, is a massive sith laboratory for the express purpose of creating new and innovative sith spawn, and the legendary 'Perfect Form' so many have attempted to achieve before. Dozens of meditation chambers, conduits and sith runes, all for the purpose of pulling from the planet its dark side power that ripples both across its surface, and beneath the mantle for unknown reasons.
The additional strength of the nexus on the planet makes for the entire facility to push the envelopes far more, manned by even more Sith from the likes of the Sith Academy on Barbatos, and key trusted officials from Blackwell Industries scientist section; with the hope of one day bringing much of this technology to the forefront of the galactic standard, pushing force based technology to the next level.
SECURITY
- Security: Medium
Although the facility itself has no foundation reinforcements to stop say, an orbital bombardment, it does have an excessive amount of security measures to ensure no secrets get out, and no infiltrators get in. Even for dedicated corporate spies, they would find a severe diffulcty in getting through not only the dedicated in house security forces, but the additional measure of the automated defenses. All in all, it is far and wide a very heavily fortified location in terms of personnel, though could not handle a dedicated siege by any means.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Although a long standing plaza in the high end district of Barbatos, the facility itself was abandoned for many years before Blackwell Industries took an interest in the facility. Scouted out originally by the enigmatic 'Human', a member of The GenoHaradan, his word came back to Maliphant who quickly put the work into getting the titles and permission from the municipal government to completely renovate the building. The initial investment was substantial, most notably to bring the facility up to date; forcing Blackwell to take a number of loans from the local cartels to pay for it.
As construction went through, many of the cartel members made the mistake of putting pressure on Blackwell Industries to pay the loans prematurely, lest damage come to the building or their construction crew. As common as the tactic was to get as much money out of weak companies, the same would not be had with Blackwell Industries; a company backed by some of the strongest underworld connections in the galaxy. Almost as soon as the threats began to ramp up, the cartel leadership for the numerous loans taken soon went missing or disappeared, never to come back. Within a week, the heads had been cut off half the cartel's, and the agreement was made to forgive the loans on 'the good will, and extended cooperation' of the local gangs and their new neighbor.
With a suddenly far lessened initial investment, the facility was finished with haste before hiring numerous biologists and organic chemists from the high end districts of Barbatos, bringing them in with promise of high pay and excellent working conditions. Both were fulfilled, and in turn the scientists were able to pump out the next generation of genetics work done throughout the galaxy, quickly garnishing a strong standing reputation for advanced and reliable technologies; helping to raise Blackwell's galactic reputation and hegemony seemingly overnight.
