HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Vel's Solitude is the ancient fortress and homestead of Clan Pax. It began construction in the years after Vel's arrival to the planet and agreement struck with the Kon'me, and was completed within the span of a decade with their help. It was here that he remade Clan Pax into what it is today. Over the centuries, the descendants of Vel have modified, expanded, and overhauled the stronghold several times over, ensuring it would be something that could outlast even themselves. It is here that clan members spend much of their early lives, before eventually venturing out into the greater galaxy.

- Description: The majority of the stronghold is built into the mountain that resides on the island, while several lesser facilities and areas lie tucked within the mainland. The environment of Bal'demnic made it necessary for the majority of it spaces and facilities to be enclosed, either within the mountain or underground. There are surface areas, however, reserved for use by the clan in survival and combat training. There exist several landing pads for a variety of starship sizes, while a hanger lies under the main facility, where the clan's starfighters lie dormant.

- Training Areas[The training areas are just as the name implies; areas dedicated training and honing the skills of clan members. Three different levels exist, each serving a different purposed. Level 1 is dedicated to combat training, honing the prowess of every warrior of the clan, through the use of targets, droids, and obstacles. Level 2 is dedicated to Force-application, sharpening Force-sensitive members abilities into deadly tools to be used at will. Level 3 exist as an outer area, enclosed by a ray shield boundary. It is here that members train their skills in survival of hostile environments, the weather and fauna proving adept at these lessons.]
- Armory[The armory doubles as both a foundry and a storage space. Much of the clan's equipment are relics, collected over the centuries. It is here that it is maintained, and either given to a clan member until they return it, or their death, or it is stored till it finds an owner. The clan's beskar'gam are also stored here.
- Hanger Bay[The clan maintains a fleet of customized Kom'rk-class and Fang-class starfighters.
