Moonbase Noriega

Moonbase Noriega is a moonbase located about 10 kilometres from Moonbase Wilson on the moon. It was badly damaged in a terrorist attack carried out by "R" on 29 October 2142.
The Noriega moonbase is a mining colony owned by the Hispanic Commonwealth. At the time of the attack, it housed 1,200 humans and 1,800 clone workers. Like many moonbases, it was powered by an old-style fusion reactor. Investigators from the Intercombine Space Agency discovered that sabotage to this reactor caused the explosion.
==Background==
:The moonbase is named after Manuel Antonio Noriega (11 February 1934 - 29 May 2017) who staged a military coup in Panama in 1983 and ruled the country for six years. The United States invaded Panama in 1989 and removed him from power. He was captured, detained as a prisoner of war and flown to the States where he was sentenced on eight counts of drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering.
