Star League Science Colony 6654 - "Jotunheim"



Founded before the Reunification War, Star League Outpost 6654 was just supposed to be a temporary assignment. It's mission to simply establish a supply depot and a small science station. However, with the start of the war, Outpost 6654 became cut off from the inner sphere. Other SL operations in the area quickly regrouped to Outpost 6654 to attempt to sit the war out and stay out of the fighting.

With all the additional resources, the outpost expanded and became more of a colony over the 10 years of the war.



Rim Worlds Republic forces were hunting down and destroying SL colonies and outposts where ever they could find them. With the influx of refugees, Outpost 6654 grew further. Defenses were added and facilities expanded to be able to repair damaged equipment.

When the fighting became more intense and RWR forces started closing in on Outpost 6654, they cut all communications and went into hiding. For the rest of the war, all they could do was wait and pray.



Comstar took over the facility as soon as it became apparent that Star League was over. They began to stockpile SLDF supplies and arms and moving them to this location. As Kerensky's Exodus began, Comstar had managed to hide the existence of Outpost 6654 now code named Jotunheim.

For years, Jotunheim only visited once a year for the occasional resupply. It had become a self sustaining colony. Communication was only via jumpships, the planet's HPG being turned off to keep it secret.

Jotunheim had vast facilities in order service and maintain the industrial mechs needed for everyday life there as well as the full regiment of SLDF mechs kept in storage.



For the Battle of Tukayyid, the entire regiment was called into action. After the battle, most returned in as in drastic need of repair, salvage, or as parts. Many pilots and crews didn't return.



Because of it's remote location and advanced security protocols, the Word of Blake was unable to gain a foothold. Those agents that had belonged with the Word that rose up were quickly and quietly dealt with by ROM.

Once the full threat of the Word of Blake became clear, all records of Jotunheim was scrubbed from Comstar records. Jotunheim would avoid being pulled into the Jihad.

The colony once again went into isolation. ROM agents ruthlessly hunted down any that knew about Jotunheim's existence. Sacrificing themselves if it meant keeping the secret safe.



Currently, Jotunheim is housing a convert relief mission from the Rasalhague Dominion. With elements of the Dominion's Volunteer Corps, and the New Oslo Overwatch Battalion, they are preparing to make contact with the newly opened New Suns Republic.
