Short introduction

Fort Torrelavega is the newest Corsair installation and was built and financed in July 1st 834 AS (750 AGS) on the orders of DTR.

The station serves as an external base for raids and as a gold refinery in Dublin to supply Crete with gold.

The work on the Fort went without any major problems, as did the supplying for the station. However, extreme caution is advised at all times. Both the Bretonian Navy and Mollie competitors patrol the area, which makes deliveries more challenging. Nevertheless, we can get the most important supplies from Trafalgar Base in New London to ensure the operation runs smoothly.
As part of the project, the warehouses were also expanded in order to be able to store additional goods. Due to the overall risks within the sector, quick deployment was paramount. The station grew rapidly and was able to employ an additional 400 Corsairs to help repair the installation as well as build new modules.

These additional levels of the station serve to expand the docking areas on Torrelavega. Since Santander can only field smaller craft, the station can support capital class vessels in need of urgent dry dock or repairs. In order to enable larger ships to dock, such as the Hegemon or the Deterrence fleet at large, the engineers have also expanded the landing pads and the docking bays. Given the urgency and risk in this area, these small improvements have enabled easier undocking from the station.

There are also other structural changes to be made, such as the construction of a hydroponics bay to produce our own food rations and oxygen. This would allow the crew to survive the long haul in the potential scenario that strong enemy battlegroups are present in the area for long durations. Of course, this requires additional DTR personnel to ensure smooth bay operations and logistics.

Industrial Refinery.

DTR mining Gold.

Finally, the gold business has been especially lucrative. While Deterrence has relied primarily on raiding and Xeno Relics in the past to fuel its economy, it's good to diversify potential income opportunities. Given the events in Theta, it is critical that Corsairs rebuild the losses at Freeport 9 quickly before our enemies can take advantage of the new realities. To that end, Deterrence has built a gold refinery to process the mined gold ore.

For the most part, work on the refinery took place without any major incidents and the operations are running without a hitch. However, escorts are going to be a frequent necessity during mining operations and exporting back to Omicron Gamma and our other teritorries.
