A sprawling complex of training installations, barracks, and hardened defensive fortifications, Fort Blindshot serves as the beating heart of Selen’s planetary garrison. Set upon an extinct volcanic island and isolated from civilian populations, the island’s separate buildings serve three central needs for the AAF; military administration; the training and garrisoning of Dajorran Defense Forces soldiery; and a nexus of defensive structures prepared for the event of a planetary invasion.
The low, western quarter of the island is dominated by long rows of barracks and residential buildings, necessary to support the base’s soldiery and their families. These barracks, and the dining and entertainment facilities that underprop them, butt up against the sea-wall that borders the western periphery of the island, lines of turbolaser-decked hardpoints often washed over by thick banks of seaborne fog. Beyond the residential complex, the base’s main starport serves as an essential line of defense and logistical capacity, defended by frequent patrols of atmospheric fightercraft.
Rugged foothills make up the southeastern quarter of the island, criss-crossed by long, pitted firing ranges where recruits and soldiers in training practice on everything from small arms to batteries of artillery. The “star” of this quarter is a large firing range sporting moving holotargets and practice droids within a mock urban environment. As the foothills bleed into the massive volcanic caldera that makes up the northern range of the island, the firing ranges transition into terrain courses, steep mountain passes, simulated defensive positions, and faux villages and towns that serve to familiarize recruits with a wide variety of combat environments.
