THIRD BASE
A classified USCMC research base situated on a small undesignated moon, Third Base is located within a short jump distance from both New Eden Sector and Sol system. Third Base is a pressurized facility designed for advanced bioweapons research, and maintains an expansive hanger that is able to accommodate several large military transport and cargo vessels, along with a well stocked vehicle depot and extensive armory.
The Colonial Marine forces stationed there are trained and positioned to launch a first strike on any ICSC world if necessary. Despite its classified status, Third Base sits adjacent to the civilian colony and atmospheric processing plant on the moon. A series of caverns and former ice reservoirs honeycomb the surface and served as temporary housing while the colony was established. The colony itself is cut off from the rest of the galaxy. All communications are handled on military channels and must be approved. They are monitored with a built-in delay for censorship, and any and all supplies are imported via military cargo runs only.
