Nemesis Bastion

A secret subterranean First Expeditionary Fleet Star Army Base located on Siren I, in the Siren System. It was constructed under the direction of Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko by Ketsurui Fleet Yards and Yugumo Corporation.

The Unit Patch

The Unit Patch for Nemesis Bastion.

The Deep Secret

Nemesis Bastion was established in YE 42 during the height of the Kuvexian War. With the establishment of automated mining facilities on the surface of Siren I, the First Expeditionary Fleet has been able to mask the construction and activation of this facility without detection, using local freighter traffic to conceal movements of troops and resources. With the value of the Siren System and its abundant resources, the system is suspected to be a target of the Kuvexian Military.

In YE 41, at the time it was planned, the purpose of Nemesis Bastion was to establish a secret base from which an effective resistance could be launched if the Siren System or Jiyuu System was invaded by the Kuvexian Military. The concept was further expanded to include research and development facilities for the Yugumo Corporation and Ketsurui Fleet Yards. The end result was the construction of a deep subterranean base by the First Expeditionary Fleet.

It took engineers and complex mining equipment, blending their operations with the establishment of automated mining facilities, months to drill out tunnels and caverns for what would become the underground base, an effective military city secretly placed in the underground of the rocky terrestrial world.

The main base is the Kotoku Cathedral, while the Irim and Adlich facilities are considered satellites.

It took a secret team from Star Army Engineering from YE 43 until YE 45 to hollow out the Nemesis Mountain, an area to the northeast of Kotoku Cathedral. This new part of the base was designed for a top-secret power armor facility which included production, launch, and testing facilities hidden within the mountain which would also serve as part of the defenses for the base.

In late YE 44 and early YE 45, the experimental versions of the Yumeoibito Hyperspace Fold Drive for Port Jiyuu were developed here by the Yugumo Corporation.1)2)

Later in YE 45, at the beginning of the Third Mishhuvurthyar War, the base was brought to full readiness and began to prepare for possible use as a stronghold in the event that Yamatai (Planet) or Nataria were destroyed or fell behind a blockade. 3) It would also become the site for research on the Mishhuvurthyar Hemosynthetic Virus Weapon by Dr.Shinichiro Tomoko at the Hemosynthetic Research Labs.4)

The Use of Natural Formations

The construction of the facilities relied heavily on the natural geological formations of the rocky planet.

The Nemesis Fissure and X-6

The main entrance to the base is through the Nemesis Fissure. A natural volcanic carved deep fracture created in the early eras of the planet's volcanic history. The fissure houses Automated X-6 Mine, called 'X-6' by those stationed in the facility, which has several freight landing zones that have access to a secure tunnel to the Mag-Leve Train System of Nemesis Bastion. The fissure's natural structure provides a perfect medium for hiding defenses and access points.

The Cathedrals

The cathedral caverns were naturally carved by volcanic activity in the geological history of the planet, the engineers of the Star Army of Yamatai merely enhanced an expanded these massive caverns to house the three cathedral facilities of Nemesis Bastion, as well as tunnels for the MagLev trains that provide transport through the base.

X-1 South

To the south of the base is the X-1 Automated Mining Facility, an additional tunnel for MagLev train access for emergency exit procedures was built connecting Nemesis Bastion to the facility which has cargo landing zones for easy extraction.

Expansion Zones

The planet has extensive fractures, underground caverns, tunnels and other structures due to its violent volcanic geological past. These areas make natural defensive locations perfect for the development of future base additions.

Getting Around The Nemesis Bastion

The Nemesis Bastion is a state of the art Star Army Base with advanced transportation systems.

Transportation

The Cathedral Facilities of the Nemesis Bastion are serviced by armored MagLev trains.

The trains were developed from the scrapped plans that favored traditional trains for use on the Zodiac-Class Star Fortress, with no concerns about gravity disruptions the designs were refreshed and modernized for use in the Nemesis Bastion.

Cruising at 330km/hr during normal operation these trains transport personnel and cargo through the base. In addition to personnel transport cars, there have been flatbed cars added to the trains to assist with the movement of Standard Starship Cargo Containers and other cargo. During emergency or combat conditions the speeds of the trains can be increased to 440km/hr.

The passenger cars are armored with starship-grade Yamataium and are coated with Xiulurium.

This area includes a massive Factory and Universal Hemosynthetic Fabrication System Type 43 infrastructure devoted to the production and testing of Future KFY Power Armors as well as in service models such as the Ke-M2 "Mindy" Series of Power Armor and Yu-M1-2B Series "Molly" Light Mechanized Power Armor. It expanded on what had been previously housed in Irim Cathedral but it included Power Armor Bays concealed on the north face of the mountain for the launch of armors during the unlikely event of the base being found and attacked.

Yamatai Genetic Vault

The new expansion also included the addition of a Genetic Vault and Seed Bank for fauna and flora of Yamatai (Planet), Anisa, and other core worlds of the Yamatai Star Empire. This would allow for the restoration of crops and other ecosystems in the event of a catastrophe.

Systems of The Nemesis Bastion

Notable Systems Common to the Cathedrals of the Nemesis Bastion.

Armored Base Structures

Armored base structures are built similar to Star Army of Yamatai vessels, they use Xiulurium-coated Zesuaium and Yamataium. The windows are made of transparent Zesuaium. All interior passageways and rooms are surrounded by Yarvex sheeting.

Power Plants

Extensive geothermal wells have been dug to take advantage of the raw internal power of the near-star planet, Siren I. Using geothermal sources rather than Aether made the facilities have a lower aether profile on test scans from the immediate Siren System and eliminated long-ranged detection beyond the system boundaries.

Aether generators are kept on the base, in the event the base is detected they can fire up those generators to provide higher power levels. Occasionally aether generators are used to charge capacitor systems for the emergency power network, which involves coordination with Star Army of Yamatai patrols in the region to provide prior reconnaissance.

Life Support

The Nemesis Bastion uses Star Army Standard Life Support Systems to create a well-managed environment to support the population of the base. Water Ice is shipped in from the Akuma Belt on freighters and melted down and purified. The new Nodal Liquid Conduit System also assists with recycling and purification procedures.

Emergency Systems

The Nemesis Bastion is equipped with aa Star Army Standard Starship Emergency Systems, such as heavy-duty Forcefield-Nested Isolation Doors to separate sections, compartments or areas of the facility, this includes the train tunnels if required. In addition Type 41 Blast Shutters have been added in all Standard Passageways.

Similar to all starships Standard Damage Control Station and Star Army Fire Suppression System, Type 32 have been placed in key locations. Several Soul Savior Pod are scattered through the Cathedral Facilities of the Nemesis Bastion.

Integrated Electronics

The Base Cathedral structures have been equipped with the following computing and electronics systems:

These systems include the usual integration with Star Army Standard Communications Array, Psionic Signal Controller and Sensor Systems.
