The **Grand Orion Republic Detention Center**, formerly known as the **New Oslo Imperial Detention Center**, was a prison complex located in the outskirts of New Oslo, Mars. It was originally a prison complex for the Martian Republic, but later, it served as the high security prison for enemies of the Sol Imperium, Solar Union and United Republic of Orion.

## **History**

### **Martian Republic Years**

#### **Foundation**

The New Oslo Penitentiary was finished by the Martian-funded New Mars Terraforming Company in the year 48 B.T. on demand by the Martian Progressive Chancellor. The initial prisoners were low level felons but as the Progressive Era continued more trade union members started being jailed there, making the Penitentiary a political prison.

### **Sol Imperium Years**

#### **Great Anarchy**

In 9 P.T., Consuls Laake and Fox promoted a project to expand the prison and rename it the New Oslo Imperial Detention Center in which enemies of the Imperial Government were to be imprisoned.

A few months later, after Mora's bombing of the ISS Helsinki, Luigi Fox was deposed of his title and imprisoned there by orders of the newly assigned Dictator Laake. A few weeks after his imprisonment, and mere days before his trial, Agent John Ambiorix of the Illyrian Hegemony broke Fox out of prison in order to help him regain power. During Laake's dictatorship, many low grade military prisoners were kept there while more important ones were sent to the ISB's Callan Black Site in the Tributary States.

A year later, Marshall Laake and Director Blackwood of the ISB were imprisoned in the same complex after being deposed by Senator Quisling's conspiracy against the increasingly authoritarian dictator and his right hand man. Laake's stay wouldnt last long however as he escaped to the Citadel of Metahumans with the help of the growing Metahuman Defence Force.

### **Solar Union Years**

#### **Ares Assasination Investigation**

In 13 P.T., the Imperial Detention Center was purged by orders of First Executive Knox and many of its Great Anarchy Political Prisoners were liberated, it was also renamed simply to New Oslo Detention Center. The prison went largely unattended for a while until the Foreign Intelligence Agency captured Crane Crater, an atlantean spy that had killed Inspector General Ares of the Miskatonic University. The prisoner became one of its most infamous for his reputation of causing the devastating Second League War.

#### **Citadel Incident**

In 14 P.T., after the National Guard of the Union took down Thyne and Laake's second plan to overthrow the solar nation the Commander of the MDF was held in the Maximum Security Ward as a top priority prisoner. During his stay, he was interrogated multiple times by both the FIA and IIA for clues on Laake's whereabouts, when he refused to say anything the Union Congress ordered his execution which took place in the Detention Center.

### **United Republic Orion Years**

#### **Operation Crystalnight Investigation**

in 32 P.T., when the URO was created, the prison was once again expanded to house many political prisoners and enemies to the URO, this time it went under a definite name change to the Grand Orion Republic Detention Center.

In 35 P.T., after documents of the Callan Black Site were discovered by workers on Chaeron, Regent Enzo Fox of the United Republic of Orion interrogated Ex-director Blackwood who was still being kept in the prison about the Black Site's whereabouts and Colonel Farran. After this, Blackwood became an FIA informant while still working in secret with Laake's Darkwater still residing in the Maximum Security Ward.
