Epsilon Base was a military installation of the Coalition of the Northern Kiithid. It was operated by Kiith S'jet. It was located 214km west of the Boneyard, due west of Cape Wrath and north-west of Hell's Gate. It was one of three major military bases located south of the Stormbreaker Wall, with Juno Base to the north-west and Charlie Base to the south.
History[]
Operation Skaal Brii, the first mission to locate the Primary Anomaly, was launched from Epsilon in 1106 KDS, before it was declared missing with all hands. The command carrier Kapisi was constructed there for a follow-up mission, but had to set out on Operation Khadiim three months ahead of schedule in response to Gaalsien attacks on Coalition bases in 1110 KDS. Shortly after the Kapisi left, Epsilon Base was bombarded by Gaalsien forces and destroyed, in a general Gaalsien offensive than also eliminated Juno and Charlie bases. However, part of the defending force, several Armored Assault Vehicles escaped and headed south, managing to reunite with the Kapisi at the Boneyard.
During a search of Epsilon's ruins, the Gaalsien found intelligence confirming that the target of the operation was the Primary Anomaly, and its location in the Great Banded Desert.
Description[]
Epsilon was built facing the Great Banded Desert, its back against a low ridge, and it appears to have been partially built underground. It was surrounded by low but huge walls, with at least 5 gates, each defended by two turrets. The base had an airstrip in the central area and a variety of buildings for the purposes of storage, repair and supply. The facility was large enough to accommodate multiple Sakala-class carriers.
