General
Home and fortress combined.
The Peyvand Estate is both and has been for some time, though recently Primula Peyvand has begun the process of increasing the number of defensive structures and features. The home itself has the following points of interest;
1x Master Bedroom
6x Guest Bedrooms
1x 'Public' Study
1x Private Study
1x Personal Library
1x Dining Hall
1x Ball Room
The Base part of the home is built into a mountain nearby, connected to the estate home itself via a series of underground tunnels. The base contains the following points of interest;
1x Secure, Secret, Panic Room - Link
1x Armoury For Ground Forces
1x Hanger (Space For 12 Fighters And 1 Diplomat Class Shuttle)
4x Barracks Buildings For Pilots And Guards
History
The original home was constructed some five generations ago by the Peyvand family after they had made a large amount of credits as landlords over many acres of profitable farmland with industrious tenants who made them a great deal of credits each harvest season. It wasn't much of an estate but, at the time, it was modest to keep it from seeming as though the Peyvands believed themselves above their fellow citizens.
As the years passed however, the Peyvand family's connections and power grew and they added the perimeter wall, security towers and main gate to both mark the edge of their property and to better defend it against those who would take their land for themselves and against raiders.
Excavations begun on the tunnel system leading to the mountain at the rear of the property under Primula's father but upon her ascension to the head of the family, the tunnels were complete but the mountain exit was nothing but a single door - an escape route and nothing else. With her efforts to expand the defences however, Primula has expanded it to a hanger for multiple aircraft and has made sure to add as many other defences as she can.

Geography
The typical picture of Tanaab is one of rolling green hills and peaks - often with rain-filled clouds and the like overhead. This means that the planet is astoundingly fertile and has long since held a position as a breadbasket of the Republic, able to not only provide food for it's own population several times over but to provide it for several other worlds as well.
When the Payvand family settled on where they wanted their estate, they decided that they wished to be away from the capital, though only by a few hours by any reasonably paced airspeeder. Considering how most of Tanaab is farmland, they decided that they would maintain some more privacy by settling their estate in a more mountainous region, giving them commanding views of the plains while also meaning that they had the privacy that they craved.
As Primula found herself when deciding to fortify the estate, this had the added benefit of giving her natural defences to build into.
