Interstellar Naval Base 54

Interstellar Naval Base 54 (aka. INB-54 or INB Sol Watcher) is a United American Federation Navy shore establishment located at the edge of the United American Federation's anti-spinward border. It is the farthest UAFN base from Trappist-1 and the closest base to the Sol system. Its close proximity to the Sol system makes it an invaluable strategic base for any UAF operations near the Sol system in the event of war. INB-54 is the largest UAFN interstellar base and has the ability to accommodate multiple fleets if necessary. Due to its remote location INB-54 itself is heavily armed and is complemented by an array of orbital defenses. The base is staffed by more than 90,000 people and is home to a large contingent of troops including the 6th Marine Division and the 32nd Shock Trooper Division. The current commander of INB-54 is Captain William Anderson.

History
The roots of INB-54 can be traced back to early deep space listening posts on the edge of the UAF's anti-spinward border in the early 22nd century. The marines who manned these early listening posts referred to themselves as "Sol watchers" which is where the base's nickname comes from. The beginnings of the modern INB-54 begin in 2176 when Secretary of the Navy Tom Riker ordered the construction of a new naval base to replace the series of small listening posts on the anti-spinward border. Construction of the base was finished 12 years later in 2188 and the base was officially designated INB-54.

Operations
INB-54's day to day operations include ship maintenance, anti-piracy patrols, and border control. INB-54 also acts as an important UAF trade hub and houses hundreds of different shops and marketplaces. In the event of war with the Fourth German Reich, INB-54's civilian population would be rapidly evacuated as it prepares to become the front line of the war. The base is equipped with state of the art command centers that would become central command's base of operations during the war. Ship maintenance activity becomes the base's primary function during wartime and is expected to repair, refit, and maintain several fleets if necessary.
