===New Home, New Start===
Construction site, Buick Mountain Range
Marduk, Robinson PDZ 
Draconis March, Federated Suns
28th April, 3114
Massive machines were at work hollowing out a huge tunnel which would lead deep into the Buick Mountain Range on Marduk. Dozens of IndustrialMechs supported construction vehicles moving earth and rock out of the mountain as the new facility was constructed. Warrior Grandmaster of the Order Imarra Sortek stood back and watched as the men and women worked their machinery creating her House’s new home. After almost a decade in the Federated Suns her people had fully adopted their position in this new Inner Sphere it had taken some time but they had finally accepted their place in the nation instead of the Confederated Suns that bore them. As Imarra watched the construction efforts she thought of Captain Sonia Wolther and her company’s sacrifice on Royal in 3106 defending the Warrior House’s retreat. 
Unfortunately, their people had also given up on the dream of remaining on New Avalon within the confines of the Sortek family landhold. They were too different from the other members of the Sortek family and few of them could forgive the actions of Arden Sortek or his son Conner in their universe it did not matter to many that Arden was a hero to the Federated Suns or that Conner was a loyal officer of the Armed Forces. As a result of this tension Imarra had jumped at the offer from First Prince Burton Davion to take a landhold of their own on Marduk. Although the world was on the Draconis Combine border and likely to be targeted by any invasion force she relished the challenge for her people. Their forces would be the primary defense force for the planet and be complemented by local militia forces, this facility would serve as their home, their Warrior House’s Monastery, their main training facility, and a fortress rivaling a Star League era Castle Brian.
Since arriving on Marduk three weeks ago she had searched for a suitable place for the Warrior House to call home and found the Buick Mountain Range. The range was perfect for their requirements with massive reserves of granite which would protect her people should the Draconis Combine bring orbital bombardment against them and it would be capable of supporting what they planned on building on the world. To build the facility she had employed half the construction companies on Marduk for the effort to hollow out a cavern which would serve as their Castle and command complex which would host and protect their vehicle and Mech maintenance facilities and their infantry barracks. The facade of the mountain face would be styled in a fashion which would be unique to her House forming a Monastery for their recruits to train and learn the ways of Warrior House Sortek before becoming fully fledged members of the command. This world now would serve as a base world for her people as they traveled the Federated Suns and helped its people and it would serve as a symbol of the strength of Warrior House Sortek.
