Aurora Naval Base

Aurora Naval Base
Location:	Sanctuary, Arc System
Status:	Active
Activated:	2067 CE

The Aurora Naval Base (ANB) was activated in 2067 CE to serve the Sanctuary Civil Defense Force's naval contingent.

History

Prior to 2067 CE, all the Civil Defense Force's operations had been operating out of the Terra Casus Naval Station (TCNS), which was proving to be insufficient for continual use, as well as a less-than-ideal place for the storage of the Civil Defense Force's sea-borne munitions on the edge of a major city.

The decision to establish the Aurora Naval Base on an island several hundred miles off the coast of Tukaso, far to the east of Terra Casus was considered in 2061 CE, with construction beginning the next year. However, with the end of the War of Secession, it was considered a low-priority project, and was allowed to drag out over several years. When the base was activated in 2067, the Civil Defense Force moved it's naval contingent to the base. This contingent was responsible for safeguarding fishing vessels, as well as private and commercial pleasure vessels, and research vessels.

At the Aurora Naval Base were also based a number of vessels intended to carry ground contingents, in order to provide a mobile base for them, and keep them mobile in the event of an attack on the planet.
