LV-465 Lycan

LV-465 'Lycan' is a barren desert planetoid at the fringes of the Micor sector, serving as a Colonial Marine garrison deep inside of UA-Controlled space bordering the Cusp of Tartarus within crisis response distance to the furthest reaches of the American Arm. The planet was also used as an extensive training area in addition to its role as a Marine strongpoint and supply depot up until late 2187, when it was abandoned due to cost requirements and a lack of resources. Lycan was the primary training base of USCM from 2014-2017, when it was ultimately retired by the short-lived Field Range Eve Liktos. 
== Lore ==
Discovered in the 2150s amidst the mining rush in the Micor sector, LV-465 was briefly scouted by prospectors before being turned over to the UA due to its perceived lack of worth. Lacking almost any resource other than sand and limestone, Lycan was the perfect inhospitable environment for training Marines and proving new technologies in the harshest conditions possible. A small training base and several listening posts and supply depots were constructed on the planet, which could serve as a forward resupply point or staging area for any operations deep within the American Arm. Ultimately the facilities were abandoned due to cost overruns related to resupplying the planet, coupled with the air conditioners continuously breaking in the staff headquarters building.
== Layout ==
Lycan was a large base with several training ranges and arenas meant for various combat simulations. From early 2014-2015 the base was centered around Mt. Euthoria, a hideous rock pile subject to volcanic activity. The map was redesigned by Cravitus in late 2016 and republished following the release of BG-195 'Korari'. The updated version removed Mt. Euthoria and expanded the vehicle inventory on the map, along with various cosmetic changes and modernization.
 Training hosted at Lycan sometime in early 2016.
