Rebel Base
Terminus

The Civilian Resistance maintained a small base deep in the criminal heart of the Terminus spaceport during the early days of the Rebellion. The district that the base is located in is in close proximity to a constantly moving trade station, allowing the Rebels access to products and resources that they need to contain its operations. The constant hustle and bustle allows the Rebels to blend in, making it a prime location for negotiating deals and receiving information from informants. Unlike some of the other early bases that belonged to the Rebels, that on Terminus remains relevant in the same context as it did before the Battle of Naboo. It gives the Rebellion access to a large area of commerce, made all the more important by the incorporation of worlds such as Sullust. Now the Rebellion is not only dealing in small scale supply gathering, but actively able to generate profits by helping to move and protect goods coming from Rebel aligned worlds, and helping to set the basis for organizing these worlds in a non-military fashion as well.

At first glance, there are no obvious signs of a base in the starport, allowing Rebel vessels to deliver and collect valuable resources for the cause without causing suspicion. One of the major advantages to being a Rebel on such a world is that there are no clear markings of what Rebels look like, so a watchful eye would not be able to notice the difference between the Rebellion’s criminals and any others. The base itself is in the outskirts of the port, and it houses storage rooms, living quarters, and a short tunnel that leads to an underground command and control center.

The district is protected by standard spaceport defenses, including law enforcement and riot teams stationed throughout the port to deter and prevent the kinds of crimes associated with the kind of scum that frequents the port. A key part of the defensive capability of the Terminus base is that it is home to a densely packed civilian population, most of which include criminals who are prepared to fight not just for their lives, but also their cargo and their way of life.

Though the primary defense of the base comes from its proximity to the criminals who will defend the port, the base itself has its own defenses in order to slow an enemy force down and allow time for an evacuation. As a first line of defense, the resistance set up a makeshift blast door to keep intruders out. In the event the door is breached, a number of weapons systems are on the other side of the door, in addition to the armed criminal resistance forces. A few heavy blasters, portable anti-infantry turrets, and automated cannons are located throughout the base, all of which were stolen from ships throughout the starport.

In the event an evacuation is necessary, members of the Rebellion are expected to retreat to their own vessels and escape the starport on their own.
