Transport Security Authority Centres
Pyramid architecture by Zoltan Tasi
“Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth. The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame. The earth shall be immerged, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:
But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency. Then shall all belong to him; be happy and blessed; and splendour shall illuminate them.” (The Book of Enoch 1:6-8)

SETTING INFORMATION
Military Base Name: Transport Security Authority Centre - Sundari, Cold Iron City, Keldabe

Location: Mandalore (One TSAC in Cold Iron City, Sundari & Keldabe. Potential to expand as need across the Mandalorian Hex Cloud)
Affiliation: The Mandalorian Empire
Population:
Death Watch: Sec Teams of 50 - 500. Maximum Capacity: 1,000 depending on Quarantine Numbers
Medical Personnelle: 100 - 500. Maximum Capacity: 750.
Quarantined Individuals: Capacity to safely house a maximum of 10,000 Mando’ade Force Users at one time, per centre.

Accessibility: TSAC’s are located in readily available areas across Mandalore’s major cities, for ease of voluntary and involuntary patients alike. They are extremely easy to enter, yet the exits are as hard to navigate as an abandoned Beskar Mine. All one must do to enter a TSAC is walk through the imposing doors and sign in with the reception. To leave, one must be without the Force, either through birth or through use of the Cure. Once inside the facility, the architecture was designed as labirinthine and confusing as temples of old. Nearly impossible to navigate without aid, TSACs are designed to be inescapable puzzles manned by automatic defence systems and Mando’ade commandoes.
[*]
Description: Menacing black pyramids pierce the Mandalorian skylines. One TSAC per city burst across empty lots and the rubble left behind from the Civil War. Black duracrete, transparisteel & alloyed metal scaled the ashen sky night overnight, improved as days went on to the form seen today. Swathed in natural and artificial light, TSACs cast scattered shadows upon all who enter. While treatment areas are filled with light, comfortable furnishings and compassionate medical professionals, should one reject the offered comforts, the jagged staircases descend to a twisted, yet clean netherworld of quarantine areas, bunks, cells and mess halls underneath the otherwise wholesome treatment areas.
Interior Processing Hall:
Processing: Upon voluntary or involuntary entrance to the facility, the Mando’ade are welcomed by the renewed might of future plenty. The grand entry hall is spacious, durable and manned by Death Watch Commandos. While the Death Watch take their position in the Processing facility as seriously as their name, medical receptionists are trained to diffuse negative situations through negotiations. Should those negotiations fail, or visitors to the centre make too loud a presence, the Death Watch will step in, with all the gusto of Mando’ade defending their future from the disease which caused such tragedy and cataclysm to their families. Free screening for the disease is undergone for all in Processing, without judgement… and the understanding that if present, the disease will be cured.
Medical Treatment Room: While taking the cure is 100% voluntary, entry into TSAC’s for Force Users is not. Past the black iron doors of the Processing sector, a labyrinth of white halls, illumination strips and clinical rooms greets all who enter TSAC. Inside a crisp white room, Force Using Mando’ade sit in a simple, padded chair. Medical professionals discuss the procedure, reassure the ill of their total cure and answer questions until the ill individual, under no duress, signs off on the voluntary cure. The cure is administered through hypodermics, and once the Mandalorian is cured and deemed medically stable, they are free to go. The entire process takes but a few minutes. For those ad’ike (children) undergoing the cure, there are lollipops and holovids provided, in the sunshine-coloured Ad’ike ward, where at the conclusion they can choose a treat bag to leave with before being returned to their Buire (parents) waiting in Processing.
Treatment Supply Room: The treatment itself is kept under lock and key. In order to enter a Treatment Supply Room, one must be rid of the Force, activate the appropriate clearance and be okayed by two Death Watch commandos. The Treatment is Pazhkic-Dau, a parasite which lives off the midichlorian count in its’ host.
Quarantine Wing: Those Force Users who refuse treatment for their disease are quarantined from the Mando’ade or exiled from the Mandalorian Empire. Under the main facility and the natural lighting of the treatment and recovery rooms, dangerous Force Users are contained. All it takes to leave the quarantine wing is the voluntary acceptance of the cure. Built with Force Users in mind, the walls are subterranean and made like a bunker. Alcoves for Ysalamiri nutrient frames and other such force limiting devices line every wall, creating a nullification field to avoid powered escape attempts. Wardens and soldiers fervently contain those still deciding on when to take the cure. Those belligerent patients are given HS Collars.
DEFENSES
Due to the nature of the facilities’ medical dealings, each TSAC is equipped with Ysalamiri nutrient frames in all relevant areas. Death Watch guard teams with trained vornskyrs, Boar-D Rail Guns, and Vornskyr Scatter Guns are ever present.
While the entire facility is a bastion for NFU’s, including force fields, lockdown blast doors, and full restraints. An automated defence grid is hidden in walls, ceilings, blast doors and floors, readily available at a second’s notice. These includes Dar’Yaim Cannons, Kebiitra Aranar Automated Gun Platforms (Exterior), and Death Watch soldiers mounted on Tbarsr Class Besuliik, taken from the raiding of MandalMotors (Civil War: First Srike).
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Mand’alor the Undying loves his children. He sees their pain, and the disease created by an overabundance of midichlorians. Mandalore has undergone an apotheosis of pain since he answered the Mother’s call and returned to Manda’yaim. The war is won. [member="Mia Monroe"], the false Liberator is dead and her scourge will forever be remembered as it was, a demonic act of the disease known to the Galaxy at large as ‘The Force’. To sustain his remaining children, Ra Vizsla commissioned Transport Security Authority Centres.
The Force is a cursed disease in the Mandalorian Empire. For the Mando’ade, the Force and its’ influence on citizenry has led to disaster, murdered Mand’alore, and most recently the cataclysm caused by [member="Mia Monroe"] & [member="Ijaat Mereel"]. It is the single most devastating threat to Manda’yaim since the Gulag Plague… and it has to end within Mandalorian Space. The Civil War for Manda’yaim began with the promise to eradicate the false Mand’alor the Liberator, and return Mandalore to its’ former glory. Now won, the Mando’ade turn to rebuilding their Empire, their culture and the true path to Manda.
All Mando’ade are required to voluntarily undergo the Cure (Force Deadening) in the nearest TSAC, or be quarantined from the general populace. Should the diseased Mando’ad dislike these options, they are welcome to remain in Exile from their people, their culture and their technology. [member="Ra Vizsla"], Mand’alor the Undying decreed martial law in his first initiative, Civil War First Strike. After the dome was shattered in Sundari, The Mand’alor began the process of rebuilding his cities, and preparing for the moment where the disease would finally be cured and the Mando’ade would be safe once again.
It is the duty of every Mando’ad with use of the Force to submit. The black pyramids will be their salvation.
