*To further accommodate Kuati sensitivities Dún na Manaan has been relocated to the north of Kuat City, just 10 kilometers outside the range of the city shield. Likewise, one PTL-05 launch platform was dismatled & the remaining three brought into a range 10 km off the city shield, west, south & east. A w-165 planetary turbolasers is mounted central in each. 4 Hypervelocity Guns were installed at each corner of the platforms. 375 Togorian Marines handle operating these defensive positions. Patrols of the open terrain continue at a limited scale*
Dún na Kuat
The garrison base consists of eight levels, topped by a sensor and communications tower. Levels one through to five, all identical in size and shape, consist mainly of the large surface vehicle bays where all the surface vehicles are stored, maintained and deployed from. They also contain most of the personnel quarters as well as the armory, detention cells and most other key base areas. Level six hold the officer's quarters, TIE pilot’s quarters, command rooms and so on. Level seven consists entirely of the TIE fighter hangars. Level eight is the deployment chutes and control rooms for the base's TIEs. TIEs are launched, retrieved and manipulated by the base's powerful suite of tractor beam projectors. The base has underground sub-levels which contain the generators and main infrastructure.
Personnel
The garrison is commanded by a major general and houses 1,720 base personnel and 1,280 combat troops (Togorian Marines), divided as follows:
300 command personnel
500 support/services personnel
200 technical personnel
200 science personnel
100 medical personnel
100 gunners/weapons technicians
80 walker technicians
70 trade mission/diplomatic personnel
60 ground crew technicians
25 controllers
25 sensor technicians
10 speeder bike technicians
50 Intelligence officers
Combat forces
50 walker crewers
40 TIE fighter pilots
800 stormtroopers
200 perimeter support troops
150 base security/detention troops
40 scout troopers
Vehicle complement
30 TIE fighters & 5 TIE bombers
20 SPMA-T (Self-Propelled Medium Artillery)
10 AT-STs
40 speeder bikes
60 landspeeders
100 miscellaneous vehicles (construction, cargo, maintenance, etc.)
Defenses
The Kuat garrison base is equipped with three heavy twin turbolaser turrets and six heavy laser turrets, as well as tractor beam projectors. Though shielded, the garrison also possesses extensive ground defenses such as anti-infantry and anti-vehicle minefields and a ten-meter high electrified death fence. This has variable power settings, so it can either severely shock an individual or fry them outright in an instant, depending on the base commander's choice. In this case the fence is set at full power.
To get through the fence and into the base, units must pass through force field gates. These are flanked by 2 guard towers with stormtroopers on constant duty and positioned evenly around the fence's perimeter. Running behind the fence and parallel to it is an elevated catwalk patrolled by stormtroopers with guard towers (each equipped with electrobinoculars, floodlights, and alarm systems) spaced every 100 meters.
PTL-05 launch platforms:
PTL-05 launch platform carries a w-165 planetary turbolaser. Powerful enough to destroy an Imperial class Star Destroyer in a single volley these provide formidable defensive measures. The platform that it rests on, which is 150 meters in diameter, contains the defensive systems, as well as room for the crew of nearly 50 people and the 50 meter diameter reactor core, which generated enough power to allow the weapon to shoot once each 10 seconds. Effectively targets enemies through long-range sensors. Additional targeting information is provided by sensor arrays on orbiting satellites. This information is fed into the global processing network, which can in turn provide firing vectors for additional turbolasers. This system allows quick and efficient planetary defense. The w-165 combats overheating dangers by employing 48 overload dispersal tubes, which allow excess heat to be absorbed or redirected. They are defended by 4 meters of deep armor-plating and several deflector shield projectors & capable of turning a full 360 degrees and swinging in a 180 degree arc.
3 Hypervelocity Guns
Hypervelocity Guns: fire 120 slugs per per minute, released in 10 second intervals. Ray & particle shield generators, buried with power plant used drive the guns & generators.
The standing city shield runs off a DSS-02 Shield Generator
In total 10000 Togorian Marines stand as planetary guard of Kuat.
