Stargate Command (SG-C)
Commanding officer: Col. Agatha James
Located in the western region of Denebol Prime, Stargate Command (SG-C) is one of the most critical military installations operated by STARS. Originally designed as the hub for interstellar military operations, SG-C has become a temporary headquarters for STARS HQ during the construction of the INFINITY Space Station. This base is essential to managing the coordination of all interstellar operations across the Republic.
SG-C is renowned for its defensive capabilities, including the ability to withstand a direct nuclear strike, which makes it a highly secure facility. It is also the main training ground for interstellar military ground units, providing comprehensive combat and tactical preparation for forces deployed on off-world missions. The base serves as a critical nerve center, allowing Denebolian forces to respond rapidly to threats and challenges from across the galaxy.
Alpha Site
Commanding officer: Mj. Angee Rivers
Alpha Site is one of the most fortified and strategically important bases in the STARS military network. Initially built during the turbulent period of the Hydra War, Alpha Site played a key role in maintaining stability in the Republic's former colonies, acting as both a reinforcement point for military operations and a fallback location in the event of retreat.
Since its reconstruction and modernization, Alpha Site has evolved into a primary regroup point for ground military units. With its state-of-the-art defenses and heavily armed garrison, it stands as a bulwark against external threats. Its proximity to sensitive regions and its history as a conflict-zone base have made it essential for rapid response missions and reinforcing Denebolian influence across the planet. Alpha Site's defensive architecture includes reinforced bunkers, missile defense systems, and integrated shield technologies, making it one of the most secure facilities on Denebol Prime.
Beta Site
Commanding officer: Mj. Liam Leesh
Beta Site was originally established during Denebol's colonial expansion phase, designed to explore the outer regions of the continent and maintain order within the expanding Denebolian territories. However, in recent years, the Beta Site has taken on a new role as a key scientific outpost, tasked with conducting high-risk research and supporting exploration missions that venture beyond Denebol Prime.
The base's specialized focus on dangerous scientific endeavors has made it a hub for technological innovation and experimental research that cannot be conducted within urban areas. Beta Site also serves as a supply point for various interstellar expeditions, with facilities designed to equip exploration teams heading into unknown or hazardous environments. In addition to its scientific role, the base is a training ground for technical and scientific personnel across the Alpha, Beta, and Theta chapters, making it an essential facility for preparing Denebol's brightest minds for both military and civilian missions.
TRACE
Commanding officer: Col. Everett Johnson
The TRACE base holds a unique position within the STARS network. Rather than being a strictly military facility, TRACE serves as the international embassy for Panthalassa, where representatives from various off-world nations gather to discuss trade, diplomacy, and interstellar relations. TRACE is a neutral ground, and as such, no weapons are permitted within the base, reinforcing its role as a site for peaceful dialogue and cooperation.
Despite the prohibition on weapons, security remains a top priority, with STARS officers and international security forces from other allied nations ensuring the safety of diplomats and dignitaries. The facility is structured to provide individual, secure spaces for each nation to conduct its business while encouraging open communication between delegates. TRACE plays a critical role in maintaining Denebol's diplomatic relations, fostering cooperation and peace among the member nations of the Denebolian Accord and other interstellar alliances.
DIUSS Joint Space Station
Commanding officers: Col. Anitta Reeks & Agent Mark Walters
The Denebolian International United Space Station (DIUSS) once represented the pinnacle of Denebolian interstellar infrastructure. Orbiting Panthalassa, DIUSS was designed to act as the primary navigation and access point for all spacecraft approaching Panthalan space. Over the years, it facilitated a broad range of activities, allowing both Denebolian Accord members and non-member nations to use the station for docking, refueling, and communication with their fleets.
However, as interstellar traffic increased and Denebol's technological demands evolved, the limitations of DIUSS became clear. The station's logistical and technical shortcomings, particularly in power generation and docking capacity, began to hinder its effectiveness. As a result, it has been slated for disassembly under order DGO241017MD, and its operations will soon be replaced by the much more advanced INFINITY Station. Despite its limitations, DIUSS remains a significant part of Denebol's interstellar history, having served faithfully for decades.
Estimated time of disassembly: 6 months
INFINITY Space Station
Commanding officer: Col. Agatha James
Once completed, the INFINITY Space Station will stand as a testament to Denebol's ambition and leadership in interstellar affairs.
