History & Background (Dossier)
Long after the Fringian Dark Ages, within the Tsorva (world) system the Mustell moon has seen some strange activity. Covert Nist Military Forces had surreptitiously deployed some naval assets. Nominally the moon is uninhabited, and that is technically true. However, strategic operation concerns have necessitated making some military decisions. A tiny spaceport, barren and desolate is observable with a navigational satellite and automated emergency landing beacon. Unmanned, this base has been largely forgotten. At one point during the Nist War, prior to the the signing of the Rissa Accords a forgotten flotilla, an orphaned unit went missing.
The original unit was composed of primitive TL–9 vessels, obsolete. The fleet was moth-balled and more advanced designs came online. This squadron was built around a small carrier built on a converted commercial hull. A group of eight tankers and four scout/couriers completed the TankRon. The carrier had two squadrons of fighters. One squadron would be stationed here for system defense while the other would go on patrol with the fleet. Then they would switch for the remainder of their deployment.
These vessels were discovered powered down on a deep cometary orbit of the primary. The sleeping crews frozen and long dead, but the machines were recovered and refurbished for a tiny amount of money. With current mobilizations this reserve group is seen as a way to free up current front line forces for action in more dangerous and busy zones. They are plenty advanced for the likes of this backwater system.
The Nist Naval Vessels is a reserve colonial force. They patrol from here to secure the system and beyond, showing the flag for alliance forces in this fiercely independent region.

The sub surface bunker vault is protected from surface assault by a ring of anti-personnel flechette mine fields. A battery of three missile silos with surface to space anti-shipping missiles was installed fire centralized fire control and tracking. These protect the central access shaft from marine attack. Built underground to resist ortillery bombardment, the secret military base has medical bays with lowberths.
