Actually, the US has an open policy of bases since the 80's. After the whole Stealth incident they decided to stop wasting money on hiding the bases. Now, the really secret stuff is kept on a ship, nick named "Death Star." Its a mobile R&D base.

So you're telling me I can find Bastion and get the stats on all of TNO's R&ds by writing 100 some odd words at Rachuk. Nice.

Sure. If you leave enough of them intact.

ORS: Are we debating a canon planet, or one you created?

Yes well actually a better analogy is every little zodiac with a gun on it doesn't have the location of every super-secret Island. BOPs aren't command ships.

And...?

So its a training base, right? I'm wondering how many recruits must go through there.

It can't exactly be too secret if millions of recruits go through there each year...

The analogy was a bad one to begin with.

It's a planet we made up.

It's existence is known. It's location isn't. Maybe 2 million a year max. Most of which are clones and aren't about to betray us.

Yes, Marth. Go ahead and do that, could come in handy in the future if the Staff approves this nonsense. Marth is right, this is cheap @#%$.

CN-1344 - it's very name (the randomness of the letters and numbers) implies that it was taken by ORS to be just what it is - a hidden world. It's location would not be readily apparent. If Kyric was able to get the cores - which he wasn't, there was not 1500 words for a ship takeover - he would have to go through lots and lots of encryption. But that is of course, assuming the location was even held within the Bird of Prey - which they don't.

I'm pretty sure CN 1344 is a production world. Have you ever constructed BOPs there?

Probably the first 108 that had no shields that were quite present at Kessel.
