Haven Outpost

Haven Outpost was an Outpost on The planet nicknamed "Haven" by Grand Admiral Lachlan Conqueror of The DPC. The outpost was constructed by DPC Mystic before its independence for weapons testing outside of DPC jurisdiction. The outpost was designated Outpost-07 by Mystic personnel

## DPC-MYS War

Following Mystics independence from The DPC the base saw extensive use during Project ATLAS, the base also assisted in the reverse engineering of Shield technology after it was created by The DPC and UNEM researchers.

Shortly after the Second Battle of Horizon Station the DPC - Obliteration captained by Grand Admiral Lachlan Conqueror crashed on Haven. After recovering two DPC "Dragonfly" Dropships and a DPC - "Rhino" tank from the wreck the Grand Admiral and other remaining survivors stumbled upon the outpost and moved in.

The outpost suffered electricity shortages which resulted in frequent brownouts and occasional blackouts, this caused the survivors to build a solar array on the surrounding hilltop. As the bases power systems failed the survivors became more and more desperate, acting upon this they attempted to retrieve the deuterium reactor components from the Obliteration. In the attempt to retrieve the components, a reactor onboard the stern half of the Obliteration detonated killing 5 of the survivors directly and 4 more through radiation sickness. With the failure to retrieve the required components the base suffered a major power outage which took the shield completely offline. Meanwhile, DPC forces on a mining expedition are ambushed and slaughtered with only one managing to escape and warn the reso of the survivors.

After over 10 months of being stranded on Haven, the survivors are attacked by 3 MYS fighters and a landing party that had been sent to re-secure the base. The DPC manages to hold the outpost, following the attack the survivors began construction of a silo based around a drill test site. The survivors completed the silo quickly and began work on a DPC - Arrowtip Rocked designed by the Grand Admiral and surviving engineers from the DPC - Obliteration

With the rocket in a functioning state MYS forces launched a full-scale attack on the survivors, the outpost is heavily damaged during the attack, and 17 of the survivors are killed. The "Rhino" tank is destroyed during the assault and 1 of the Dragonflys that had managed to escape the battle is shot down with 8 survivors aboard although all 8 survive they are stranded at the wreck of the DPC - Crete, an Omega class that had been shot down over 7 years before by MYS forces concealing their experiments. The survivors at the outpost prepare an evacuation onboard the rocket but the MYS - Artillery Cruiser "Hull" arrives and leads a full-scale attack on the base, The DPC forces are quickly pushed back into the depths of the base and the command tower is destroyed. The solar array is quickly taken out of action by MYS fighters and the battery room is blown up by MYS ground forces leading to the base losing the majority of secondary systems including its emergency beacon. MYS forces overrun the cargo room cutting remaining DPC forces off from supply. As MYS forces closed in on the silo everyone present boards the rocket except for the Grand Admiral and Admiral Rhys Ciantar of the Haigon Exile Force, both ensure that as much time as possible is given to those still fighting. The remaining DPC forces reach the silo with seconds to spare as MYS forces breach the west door to the silo, in the ensuing firefight the rocket's relay is destroyed, upon realising this the Grand Admiral quickly makes his way to the command room and initiates the manual override. The grand admiral orders the rocket to take off while he is pinned in the control room, despite initial resistance the rocket blasts off, the supports fall and crush several of the catwalks being used by MYS forces, the rocket quickly makes a break for orbit.

The remaining DPC forces at Haven Outpost make their way to the dropship hangar where they board a dropship under heavy fire, the large hangar doors open above them and take the dropship to the surface. As the dropship reached the surface the survivors saw as the DPCH - "Moby Dick" arrived and began engaging the MYS - "Hull", as this continued the DPC - "Victoria" arrived to support and together with the "Moby Dick" they manage to cause severe damage to the "Hull" which causes the MYS forces to retreat. The DPC forces who remained at the base quickly boarded 2 dragonfly dropships to board the DPC - "Victoria" while the Moby Dick sent a rescue team to the Crete to lift the siege which had developed. When Haigon forces arrived the MYS forces surrendered, but Admiral Rhys Ciantar had other plans and had all the MYS prisoners marched to the hangar bay of the Crete in retribution for the invasion of Haigon, no Mystic soldiers would leave that ship alive, they were all other shot or simply left to starve or die of dehydration.

What exactly happened to the rocket is unknown as it was located by the Gamma-11 reserve forces in orbit, the rocket appeared to have been attacked through no bodies and no signs of death were found. By the end of the Battle for Haven Outpost 38 of the 53 DPC survivors had fallen and over 234 MYS troops had fallen. The survivors of other crashed ships and from the bow of the obliteration are saved which brought the count of rescued DPC survivors up to 49.

## Post DPC-MYS War

After the war the Grand Admiral temporarily returned to Haven to purge the computer systems of DPC assets on the Planet, he chose to lead this task himself to remember all the DPC forces who had fallen on haven. The Grand Admiral also detonated the self destruct onboard the DPC - Crete to cover up a slaughter of MYS prisoners that had happened there by forces of Haigon at Rhys Ciantars command. The Grand Admiral temporarily went to Haven outpost to investigate what was left, the power had completely failed and there laid corpses all through the halls, he set up a temporary garrison to salvage ships and debris located on Haven.

After about a year on the planet, the DPC garrison was recalled and Haven Outpost was abandoned once more, with Haven as a whole marked off-limits to civilians by The DPC. On occasion, DPC troops would use Haven Outpost as a small rest stop on route to the Haven Military Base which had replaced Haven Outpost as the main DPC base on the planet.
