The naval and scout bases on this world are primarily for training. RQS and Marine personnel have access to a variety of facilities designed to mimic the various planetary conditions that they may encounter in the course of their tours. Large parts of the world are reserved as training ranges, and are off-limits to unauthorized personnel and civilians. Mercury handles all training for Regency Ranger and Hammerhead personnel as well, at high security facilities placed in orbit, and dirtside in the planets equatorial region.
