Flydon Maxima Research Base

The Flydon Maxima Research Base was first established (along with its staffing rules), by the former Brother Varlos of the Darksmith Collective and overseen by Gisella at a time when the planet was considered habitable (approximately 150 years ago). Climate change and rising sea levels had made it necessary for the planet to be evacuated some 50 years earlier. The base itself was spherical in shape and grounded to the ever changing seabed approximately half a mile below the frozen wasteland of the northern polar icecap and utilised Darksmith technology. Back up systems were secured in the Green Arae on Level 3. With lead lined, 3 metre thick walls it housed a nuclear power system in a green containment vessel. The Base was constructed under the guidance of Brother Varlos who incorporated a lockdown series of deadlock seals responsive to retina patterns that could be remotely accessed in the Machine Room (an area displaying further evidence of the Darksmith Collective’s technology. Constructed of some of the most durable materials known (including a 360 degree observational gallery at the top level made of Finito-glass), it was never designed to withstand a direct assault and its structural weakness was questioned when an assault, first by the Blaska then by the Deathbringers led to the base being seriously questioned by its then current personal (Captain Strova, Privates Lenk and Rodoff and [[Gisella).
