The Anchorage
¶ System Information
- Affiliation: League; Heretics
- Code Name: Scylla
- Estimated Population: < 10,000
- Points of Interest:
- Anchorage Station
- Masamune Station
- Styx (Quark Star at the heart of the system)
The Anchorage was an early, and failed, experiment of the League and was intended to be a fallback point and secure site for rebuilding a government and command structure. Decades later, League Intelligence laid claim to the site and it became the personal black site of the Director of Intelligence.
¶ History
¶ Locations
¶ Anchorage Station
Each Director has had their own side projects and obessions. Frequently, the Anchorage is used to facilitate those projects and obsessions. Much like the Republic Intelligence Directors have their bunker under the Tjoritja National Park in Australia, the Anchorage is part refuge, part museum, and part personal workshop.
Director McKenzie has been one of the least hands-on Directors when it comes to the Anchorage, perferring to use it as an extremely secure quarantine site for ships suffering curious fates. When a ship is taken to the Anchorage, his directive to the staff and crew is to figure out the issue, regardless of cost or time.
¶ Current Projects
-
LSS Meshach - Moved to the Anchorage after a rampant systems failure following the Revelation-class refit. Currently, engineers are attempting to discover exactly what happened to the systems and how.
-
Diocese of Demeter - A passenger liner launched in the early 2400's. On a routine repositioning trip between Calysto and New Corinth, the Diocese dipped into subspace just beyond the orbit of Calysto's moon and almost immediately surfaced again completely without power. Calysto System Patrol investigated and found the entire crew and passenger compliment dead and mostly decomposed. Further investigation revealed that the internal systems had logged nearly 80 years passing between their initial dive and their surfacing.
-
The CNK Director's Ship
-
The Voyager 1 Probe
-
TRS Marianas - An early Terran research ship dating back to the century after Second Contact.
-
The Subspace Observatory - Originally planned as a means to better chart subspace, the Observatory produced some almost universally upsetting results and was quickly snatched up by League Intelligence, nominally to aid in Project Farscape.
¶ Masamune Station
Known as 'The Yard', Masamune Station is a drydock and construction facility for developing, constructing and testing classified ship designs.
¶ Current Projects
- Project Dante - The first Dante class, the LXS Rekonin is physically complete, though her systems are still in trial runs and her armament has not been finalized. The LXS Dante is designated a permanent systems testbed, and will be moved to a more permanent home at Anchorage Station shortly. The LXS Faust is currently under construction, her keel having been laid recently.
