The Wedge shaped ship glided with purpose as it moved towards the Monstrous asteroid. Situated in the Cron Drift. The Clone Crew was buzzing around the hanger bay… Getting the package readied for insertion…

Admiral Harrison… Newly Minted Commanding Officer of the Fifth Fleet stood on the bridge of the MPS Valtane… The Flagship of the Dominion Navy

With crisp movements the bridge crew moved with dedication…Finalizing a close orbit of the Asteroid

Looking at the aft console…Schematics rolled by with pertinent data on the asteroids mineral content

It was being lauded as the largest find in nearly a decade…

“Admiral…The Prefab is ready for deployment…The Droid Construction teams are reporting that the site is prepped & ready

“Thank you Ensign…Tapping the screen a coupla more times…Admiral Harrison hit the Launch Button to send the Prefab Base to it’s destination on the asteroid

The Prefab left the ship in several dozen packages…All aimed for the prepped site…Where Thousands of Construction Droids awaited the 1st package…

“Attention…This is Admiral Harrison… Execute Phase 2…All Clone Garrison Forces are to prep for departure in 24 hrs…

The Prefabricated Garrison Base is the Dominion's standard base deployed on planets to keep the peace and serve as a home for its troops.

Deployed by Imperial-class Star Destroyers and other large capital ships, they were dropped from orbit in ready-made pieces and assembled on-site by Imperial engineers and construction droids.

Garrison Bases consisted of eight levels, topped by a sensor and communications tower. Levels one through to five, all identical in size and shape, consisted mainly of the large surface vehicle bays where all the surface vehicles were stored, maintained and deployed from. They also contained most of the personnel quarters as well as the armoury, detention cells and most other key base areas. Level six held the officer's quarters, Starfighter Pilot's quarters, command rooms and so on. Level Seven consisted entirely of the Starfighter hangers. Level Eight was the deployment chutes and control rooms for the base's Starfighter's. Starfighter's were launched, retrieved and manipulated by the base's powerful suite of tractor beam projectors. Garrison Bases also had underground sub-levels which contained the generators and main infrastructure. They housed 1720 base personnel and 1280 combat troops, the breakdown of which is as follows
