OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: A small base to help flesh out the Outer Rim Coalition planet Adarlon.

- Canon: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Military Base Name: Waystation Adarlon
- Classification: Subterranean Airfield
- Location: Natalar Mountain Range, Adarlon, Minos Cluster, Outer Rim Coalition
- Affiliation: Outer Rim Coalition
- Population: 200 Coalition personnel (100 formal, 100 informal)
- Accessibility: The Coalition built Waystation Adarlon in secrecy, disguising it as a basic weather monitoring station. It's tucked away in the Natalar Mountains, far from any resorts or population centers. Access is restricted to Coalition personnel and trusted allies.
- Description: Waystation Adarlon is a base dug into the mountains of the Natalar range. It's an airfield for starfighters, light transports, and snowspeeders. Its purpose is rapid response for any serious incursion on Adarlon, which, as a major resort world on the Rimma Trade Route, is the closest Coalition planet to galactic civilization.
- A series of cold-weatherized docking bays provide basic fuel/rearming/maintenance services to the base's starfighter contingent and assorted vehicles.
- Living quarters are pretty cold.
- A double-insulated rec center and social area won't melt the tunnels but will keep folks warm during their downtime.
- A medcenter specializes in things like hypothermia, frostbite, and critter mauling.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Adarlon's immediate vicinity has seen a successful First Order invasion, a desperate defense against the Galactic Empire, a heavy Mandalorian raid, and now a follow-up strike at Dagobah from the First Order. The Outer Rim Coalition is well aware of the possibility that hostile forces will cut the nice, safe Rimma Trade Route. If that happens, Adarlon is at risk. As a result, the Coalition has ordered construction of a small, hidden fighter base in the Natalar Range. A squadron of fighters and a squadron of snowspeeders give Waystation Adarlon enough punch to at least harass an incursion, or offer aid across the border.
Waystation Adarlon may be a sign of things to come: sitting on the Rimma Trade Route, Adarlon is literally the easiest ORC planet for the galactic mainstream to reach. As a plum resort world, it's also a target. Since events are moving quickly, though, Waystation Adarlon is all the fixed defense the Coalition can get in place just now.
