Personal Lore
Base 6 is a fortified series of structures on the surface of Contruum Six. It has changed hands many times over the years. Earliest records indicate it to belong to a group of bandits that had been terrorizing the two cities on the icy planet. They had likely been in league with inter-system pirates but after their entirety being killed there was an empty base. Mandalorians eliminated these criminals and took it over to then occupy it for many years. A mandalorian named Burkhart took it upon himself to clean it up a bit and make it a stop for himself as well as his fellow Mandalorians. There was not much area for the Faction to initially move to when first coming to Contruum system but with the base on Contruum 6 they would have a small stop for those that came to just pass by or for extended periods of time.
The base allows the mandalorians a constant location to hone winter based combat training. It can be a training location for people who want to adapt to the snow before attacking another planet or system with similar climates. The building itself is made to survive through the harsh coldness of the planet. Able to deal with the strongest of Contruum 6's storms it is also unintentionally moderately protected against heavy weaponry though not quite the extent of an actual building meant to survive a siege or full planetary bombardment.
Exterior
The mountains: In the surrounding area there are rocky and cold territories before dropping to lower elevation. While it provides a beautiful sight it is dangerous to traverse. There are only two main cities on Contruum 6 and they are both a fair distance away from the base. This makes it quite isolated. Its high altitude makes it difficult for some people to breathe at first and hard to approach the base without being noticed. The weather is enough to usually make most people want to stay in doors if it is possible though it makes for a good training ground due to the base's remote location.
Hangar: The hangar is essentially separate from the base itself. It takes a tunnel carve well into the mountain side. It can hold a few small terrestrial vehicles and can hold up to three light freighters or more of smaller craft. It is here that such vessels and their maintenance is conducted. The hangar can be sealed when blizzards or particularly dangerous weather comes. It is also here that personal droids can be charged. The hangar also boasts a separate supply hold specifically for refueling ships. This is not vast but it allows for a ship that is having an emergency to be refueled or for a ship that needs a top off before a mission. Open area just outside the base and in the surrounding area allows for larger ships to land and offload supplies or personnel.
Interior
Common Areas: Previous occupants had assembled a rather comfortable array of amenities over their years of stay. A fully functioning kitchen, a living area for some recreation. A small indoor room has weights and machines for personal health.
Personal Quarters: Numerous private rooms exist in the base. These usually have one to two beds and see rotation from various people and so are not very personalized. These are simple places to sleep and for one to store their own gear.
Supply stores: in the lower level of the base there are store rooms that allow for independent energy which can last up to four months. The food and supplies if rationed between twenty people can last up to a month give or take. This does mean that supplies half to be brought in on a regular bases though when people arrive they usually bring additional sharing for the communal consumption. This of course does not include the separate energy supplies that are kept in the hangar for refueling small ships. Hunting is common as is visits and trade with Contruum Prime.
Intent: To bring a location from previous timelines to the present. It's already been used in a few threads and can be used in the future.
