Mempa Sector Industry

Since the beginning of House Reshtarc, armaments has been their sole business. Following the bloody coup of 2369 , K'Paal(19th Lord, 7th Dynasty) ordered a realignment of the family owned Reshtarc Industries.
K'Paal organized the multi-faceted operation into one giant corporation protected under the new aegis Re.C.A.L (Reshtarc Combined Arms Limited). In the past each individual operation was run independent of each other. The mining of Dilithium and other important metals was called Reshtarc Mines. While the production of weapons was listed as Reshtarc Weapons.
The Line immediately closed this practice and forged a stronger centrally controlled corporation. He also tied the military academies to this corporation by offering hands on training at the Houses shipyards in the Mempa Sector. K'Paal infused the slowly declining Reshtarc industrial base with new blood and more dynamic leadership. In 2970 he dismissed the former Chief Engineer K'shek and replaced him with friend and ally K'Jev vestai Reshtarc.
K'Jev was a bold up and coming engineer whose work on several projects distinguished him as one of the Empires best and brightest. K'Jev immediately set about refining Klingon weapons technology and designing new and better weapons with which the Empire could defend itself.
The J-72 project and the Vor'cha "s" class attack cruiser were a result of the new spirit at Re.C.A.L. K'Paal could now turn his attention to other plans. 2970 also marked the end of the Imperial lease on the use of the Mempa Shipyards the single largest in the Empire. K'Paal decided against signing a new lease and proposed a limited lease on several of the slips. He further demanded and recieved a new weapons contract from the Empire.
Armed with the new contract and lease he added Six more slips to the yard bringing the total of ship docks to 41 including two for the new class of Negh'var Battleships. Currently 10 of the slips are devoted to the construction of Vor'cha "s" class attack cruisers, 5 for the "K'Vort" Heavy Cruiser and 5 are for the B'rel II class scout.
The other 21 are devoted to repair and upgrade facilities for fleet and line vessels. The Reshtarc control of seventy-five percent of offensive/defensive weapons and their control systems gives the family a unique niche within the Klingon Empire. The closet Federation equivalent would have been the Krupp Steel Works from the early 20th century which provided Germany with a large part of its armaments in Three world wars.
The power of the Reshtarc industrial base lends further credence to the theory that the House never lost its holdings. Such a power base in the Empire , once lost would have been hard to regain. The idea that the Reshtarc Line could have regained so much power in the wake of the Duras defeat is absolutely proposterous.
The central location of the Mempa Sector is another reason for the families success. The Mempa sector is close to both Kronos and is far enough away from borders to allow for easy defense. Re.C.A.L ships all its weapons from this location to the other Houses as well as to other Imperial shipyards.
Tied into the framework of Re.C.A.L, the shipping and merchant fleet is under the steady directorship of Captain Korvette sutai Reshtarc. The merchant fleet is comprised of 100 armed Merchantmen of the Targ and H'egH class. The Merchant force also doubles as reserve Troop transports in time of war.
The 36 Major worlds and 47 moons which make up the West central core of the Reshtarc Holdings also provide valuable Resources. A powerful chain of Dilithium mines and Refinement plants are sprinkled throughout these core systems.
Another 27 worlds and 19 moons make up smaller holdings which border on Federation and Romulan space. Huluk 9 which is located near Romulan space provides the Empire with a rich source of Duranium and Radonium 5, a prime metal for use in the new ablative armors.
A consortium made up of metallurgists from the Reshtarc and Gholjub lines are exploring many sources of rare metals and minerals for Imperial use. The current state of Re.C.A.L has also been augmented by a Industrial joining with the Allied houses of Lorenssith and the Gholjub. This alliance with one of the major shipbuilders and a powerful mining and metallurgy House provide the three major stability in a time when stability is needed.
The Behacor Prime orbital fabrication facility is the headquarters for most of Re.C.A.L's research and development. Here the very first Vor'cha "s" class cruiser was built. The original name was changed from the Dissident Aggressor to the Stormbringer. The facility is also where many of the improved weaponry were designed and built.
The growth and expansion of the Reshtarc industrial base remains to be seen. The loss of these facilities in war would hamstring the Empire so the family has seen fit to station a powerful fleet within striking distance of any of its key locations. The Imperial navy also provides five ships whose soul purpose is to defend the Shipyards and Behacor Prime.
Little has changed since the fall of K'Paal. In more recent times, joHwI' Marrik has added 3 further slips at Mempa Shipyards for construction of the new T-15 "Armageddon" Class Assault Carrier and 2 slips for the "Kinshaya" Class Fast Attack Cruiser. There are also 5 more slips for building and servicing the "Armageddon" being built within the Kodus System, and 2 further in the H'Rask System. This will expand the troopships' construction rate to meet current Imperial demand. Marrik has also reinstated Re.C.A.L.'s Imperial Weapons Contracts.

Behacor Prime: Sometimes referred to by the Reshtarc as the Throne World. Behacor Prime is a planet similar to Qo'noS in its appearance and weather patterns. The planet was discovered in 2045 by Commander K'Revik vestai-Reshtarc. An excerpt from his log details the world:

"The Planet is extremely large, roughly twice that of Qo'noS. Sensor analysis report that temperatures on the surface fluctuate from 95 to 100 degrees near the axial equator. The air is thick, the atmosphere constitutes eighty percent oxygen and twenty percent nitrogen. The surface seems to be sixty percent water and thirty-five percent land mass which are covered with lush tropical forests. Life signs appear to be numerous but no structures of any type can be scanned. The weather patterns appear to be violent in nature with massive air flow and huge sub-tropical storms. The planet is composed of five large continents separated by large expanses of ocean. Several minor landmasses which do not fall into the category of continents have also been scanned........."

K'Revik took an exploration team down to the surface of the largest continent and took samples of its flora and fauna.
The foundations of the First City were begun in 2048 on the first continent near a mountain range. The first building was the fortress which was designed by a young architect Bareth. The city has grown and now houses a population of twenty million of which 500,000 are Reshtarc.
Behacor Prime is home to a wide variety of animals as well as the L'Eght beasts a dinosaur like carnivore which inhabits the jungles and plains of all the continents. The planet is rich in both metals and agriculture. The p'lecht tree and it's delicious fruit that has become a delicacy throughout the Empire can be found only on Behacor Prime. The fruit is harvested in early winter when it blooms and only for two weeks since it dies quickly.
The military and structured society of the planet reflects the Reshtarc view of the Empire. The planet is ruled by a Reshtarc Governor appointed by the House Lord. Many of the Klin on Behacor Prime are unlined or in adoption houses. Aliens and non-Klin are forbidden on Behacor Prime; a tradition which has stood since the planet was first colonized by the Reshtarc.
Several key installations can be found on its surface. The planet is defended by a Reshtarc squadron as well as planetary scaled shields and disruptors. Currently the planetary defenses have been undergoing restructuring with a legion of marines being stationed on the surface as well.
Behacor Prime has never been invaded by any military force since the Reshtarc first claimed it. During the Civil War of 2365, Duras vessels entered the space around Behacor Prime but were destroyed.
The planet serves as the home of the House Lord as well as the location of the headquarters for ReCAL. Behacor Prime is the ideal world for Klingons with its Qo'noS like environment.

Behacor Prime Orbital Fabrication Facility: Orbiting the Throne World is the massive space fabrication facility. The Behacor Prime Orbital Fabrication Facility or BPOFF is a stunning testament to Klingon engineering.
Construction on the station began in 2045 at the behest of then Line Lord K'natH. The facility was to serve as a secret base for Kelric Reshtarc to work on his warp theories in seclusion. Construction of the first two sections was completed in 2048 and one thousand Klingons were required to properly man the space station.
The facility was attacked in late 2053 by renegade forces of a rival House hoping to steal its secrets. The base was so severely damaged that it had to be rebuilt and in 2059 the facility was rebuilt from scratch. The construction of the new station was completed in 2065 . Since then the base has undergone several new additions with the latest completed in 2364. The base requires 35,650 Klingons and kuve to run it.
The station has over one thousand labs and processing stations as well as three internal docking bays capable of receiving and even building the new Vor'cha Attack Cruisers. The base is completely self sufficient and also serves as the Mempa Sector Fleet Headquarters.

Mempa Shipyards:Construction of the first docking clamps and repair facilities began in 2061 under K'Rolt vestai-Reshtarc. The shipyards are located in between Behacor Prime and Behacor Minor. The Shipyards were designed by Chief Engineer K'Ress Reshtarc and the Klingon architect Bareth Reshtarc, and were completed in 2064. The original yards included ten slips, five docking clamps, two orbital housing facilities, four metal fabrication facilities and four engine/warp core manufacturing plants.
Many line lords have since added to the yards with the largest expansion taking place between 2208 and 2210. K'saHr epetai-Reshtarc added fifteen new docking slips and several new fueling and weapons sheds. These additions brought the yards to a total of thirty-one slips and eighteen docking clamps.
K'Paal had added ten further slips, two of which will be able to house the new battleships. He also added three new baryon sweeping sheds. Marrik has added a further 2 for the "Kinshaya" Class Fast attack cruiser and 3 for the "Armageddon" Class Transport. The shipyards employs the use of 150,000 engineers, scientists, gamma welders, technicians, and other skilled workers.
Mempa is the largest single shipyard in Imperial space. The yards require over two thousand support vehicles from the tiny K'agh assembly shuttle to the massive K'vos ore freighters to operate at full capacity. The shipyard is capable of building a B'rel class scout in one month, a Vor'cha Class Attack Cruiser in three months, and a Negh’var Battleship in one year.
Currently the Imperial Navy leases several slips for its own purposes and the Reshtarc employ the rest for Line support and vessel construction. The line has reestablished the military might of the Reshtarc with the new Vor'cha-S Class Attack Cruiser. The cruiser is built from start to finish at the Mempa shipyards.

Belial 3 Gunnery and Tactical Range: Area of space located in the Belial system roughly four light-years from the Mempa Sector. Ship gunnery and tactical practice area. Located near the Belial Quasar.

Behacor Chemical and Biological Warfare Academy: Located on Behacor Prime this academy was established to study the use of chemical and biological agents in warfare. The academy was established in 2355 and has been the main source of literature and documentation as well as source studies for the use of chemical and biological elements.

Mempa Engineering Academy: Located in space within the confines of the Mempa Shipyards. The Mempa Engineering Academy is one of the Empire's finest military and civilian academies. The academy focuses mainly on the design and use of both offensive and defensive weapons and systems, as well as the control systems.
The academy does however provide education in all other aspects of engineering. The academy provides hands on training at the shipyards for all its members. The trainees are under the watchful eye of Imperial Naval engineers as well as Reshtarc.
The Academy was established in 2358. The first class graduated in 2362. K'Jev vestai-Reshtarc was a member of the first class as well the highest honor student.

Frontier Outpost 25: Outpost 25 was established in 2174 as a forward base for the invasion of the Romulan Star Empire. The bases location is known to be in the Arbellus cluster a belt of asteroids. Two of the asteroids are the size of small moons and have been hallowed out.
Called outpost 25 and 25a both have interior docking facilities as well as dilithium refinement and limited repair facilities. The bases are capable of handling K'Vort and K't'inga cruisers but not the larger Vor'cha Class Attack Cruiser.
The bases currently provide a headquarters for the Lasher Squadron and Imperial Squadron twelve. The Reshtarc Marines 8th Legion is billeted at outpost 25, and a security garrison is located on Outpost 25.
Transporters allow the Marine regiment to respond to a attack at either outpost. Each outpost is equipped with ten J-72a planetary defense disruptors and multiple torpedo launchers.

Strikebase Vengeance & Outpost 26: These bases sit in what is now known as the H’Rask Sector, a newly aquired and as yet undeveloped system. The system is currently patroled and protected by the 6th and 8th Reshtarc Fleets.
Strikebase Vengeance was constructed at the behast of Colonel Marrik sutai-Reshtarc, who at the time was the Commander of the Reshtarc Marines, and also the Legion Marine Force Leader for the Imperial 4th Legion. Colonel Marrik needed a base for his Imperial Forces in the vacinity of the Triangle. A large addition was made to the existing Outpost 26, and given over on lease to the Imperial Marines.
Outpost 26 was constructed in 2119 and is located near the Federation border and the area of space known as The Triangle. Located on the Reshtarc world of Balas. The base is a series of massive bunkers and planetary defense disruptors.
The outpost is the forward staging base for the Reshtarc Marine’s 2nd Legion. The base also has two orbital repair facilities which are manned by the Imperial Navy.
Both bases combined feature 40 J-72a Planetary Disruptors and 10 Photon Cannons, and the planer is ringed by an asteroid field that is held stable by a series of tractor beams, and is further protected by intermixed mines and Kang defense guns.

Frontier Outpost 27: Built following the Kinshaya War, Outpost 27 is close to the Kinshaya Wormhole. The Reshtarc have two squadrons located here the first is the Sword of Empire and the second is K'Paal's Fist.
The outpost houses the Reshtarc Marines 10th Legion as well as a Regiment of Kelranni troops the famed "Kelranni Raiders". The base also provides a sector command Head quarters for the Imperial Navy and Imperial Marines.
Currently new docking and repair facilities are being put into place as well the transfer of two Ground support squadrons from Behacor Prime. The base will also undergo a complete overhaul of existing defense hardware. The timetable for completion is 2375.

Frontier Outpost 28: Once bordering Cardassian space, Outpost 28 is the home of Raider Squadron 2. This base is a major supply depot for vessels traveling to and from occupied Cardassian space. Outpost 28's construction commenced in 2325 and was completed in 2328.
Located on Tantalus Six, the base is home to the 5th Legion of Reshtarc Marines, which were dispatched here following the Reva 4 uprising of 2372.
The Naval repair facilities are being upgraded to handle the new Battleships as well as the Vor'cha attack cruisers. Estimation for completion is 2373. Ten J-72 Planetary Defense cannons have been added to augment the J-68 surface batteries and four Kang class Orbital defense drones have been put into place. Currently the base adds support to Fourth Fleet Operations in this sector.

R.E.F. 1 (Formerly Naval Repair Station K'Ryton): A joint Lorenssith/Reshtarc project the station is a orbital Repair base capable of repairing extensive damage to any Klingon vessel. The base will have the ability to dock and repair up to seven vessels at any one time.
REF 1 also serves as a orbital defense platform of immense power. The base has eighteen J-72 disruptor cannons, thirty-six J-68 disruptor arrays and forty PNT-1 quad torpedo launchers.
The base was completed in 2373, moved to the Irriani Expanse and has warp four capability. Now completed the base house’s the the 7th Reshtarc Legion and the Reshtarc Expiditionary Force. The base will require a crew compliment of 4,600 and will employ 25,000 support personnel.

Beta Kel: Homeworld of the Kelranni a warrior race which serve as Kuve in the Reshtarc Line. Beta Kel was finally conquered in 2081 and was formerly allowed its own governorship in 2135. The planet is semi arid with belts of forest near the equator.
The Kelranni once populated four other planets of the system in a clannish form of government however the other four clans were exterminated when they surrendered. The Kelranni from Beta Kel have since re-populated three of the four remaining worlds.
Beta Kel is home to several of the famous Kelranni Marine Regiments. The Reshtarc have even begun to give the Kelranni older vessels from the reserve fleet to provide for the continued defense of the Kel system.
Beta Kel is also the sector command headquarters for the Klas sector and has one Reshtarc squadron stationed their. During the civil war of 2365 the Kelranni joined in with K'Paal and the Loyalists against the Duras.

Irrani Expanse: Located in the Mempa sector the Irrani Expanse is a vast nebula. The Expanse has been the sight of several battles in Reshtarc and Klingon history. Starship sensors are unable to penetrate its outer cortex, however vessels inside the nebula can use their sensors in a limited fashion.
The Irrani Expanse is vigilantly guarded by Reshtarc patrol vessels and new sensor technology is tested here. the expanse occupies roughly one quarter of the Mempa Sector.

Mempa Warrior Academy: Located at Belial 3, this school features the finest Marine Officer Training available in the Empire. It was built in 2372 by Colonel Marrik Reshtarc to create a solid officer corp. to lead the newly expanding Reshtarc Marine Force.

Kodus Fighter Academy: Created on the planet Kodus 3 in 2374, this school is designed to provide basic and advanced pilot training to all Aerospace and Ground Support Fighters. Navy and Marine pilots recieve their training side by side, and it is considered one of the most challenging schools within the line.

Outpost 29 (Kodus 3 Marine Base): Outpost 29 is a newly built and much contested fortification. The base itself is a series of underground bunkers and hangers, built in concentric hubs, with connecting tunnels. It is home to the 11th Legion of the Reshtarc marine forces, and features a ReCAL operated transport construction yard. The facilities have a manufacturing center on the planet itself and 5 slips in orbit, which can produce 10 of the new “Armageddon” Class Marine Transports each year.
It is defended by 20 J-72a Defense Cannons, and a squadron of vessels from the 1st Reshtarc Fleet.
