History and background[edit]

Asashluu is the most important of the cluster of scout bases in the Old Suns subsector, acting as a coordinating centre. The base (which is the size of a moderate town of 50,000 Inhabitants, sealed and partially underground) houses large number of records on the IISS operations and activities in the Vland Domain and is second only in importance to the scout way station at Lenashuuk (Dagudashaag 1640).

Asashluu is also a crucial training ground for new recruits to the service and a technical evaluation of equipment designed for atmosphere types A to D. Although not on the official X-boat route the IISS maintain a relatively large pool of vessels of all types found in the service.
