Dalgeer's Rim

Dalgeer's Rim was an Alliance outpost situated in caverns under the volcano Mount Deldarca. It was a staging facility and secondary fighter outpost, staffed by personnel from every major branch of the Alliance. Named after its commanding officer, Commander Dalgeer, the based was built into the rim of Mount Deldarca and tapped the volcano for its geothermal energy. The base was located within a series of natural and laser-tunneled caverns.
Being located in a volcano's caldera, assignment to Dalgeer's Rim was not without potential danger. Groundquakes were common, and superheated poisonous gas meant that all personnel carried breath masks in case the facility's airtight shield doors could not be closed. Between fifty and a hundred personnel were assigned to the base at any time, involved in mission briefing and training.
The base consisted of a large hangar capable of hold several freighters or a squadron of fighters. The bay was open to the volcano, and a magnetic field kept the harmful gasses present in the caldera from entering the base. A laser-cut passageway known as the Chute connected the hangar to a volcanic vent. The vent could be used as a back-door to the hangar, but with risks since the volcano could expel hot poisonous gasses. A magnetic field separated the chute from the vent, while two shield doors could also be closed in the event of an emergency.
Dalgeer's Rim was protected by concealed emplacements, including an Merr-Sonn MX-10 missile launcher and a Merr-Sonn TX-2020 double laser cannon.
