Constructed in 654 A.S., five years after the completion of Ainu Depot in Hokkaido, Morioka Base was designed to house many of the dependents of the Golden Chrysanthemums. Initially just a collection of space habitats welded together, eventually it was formalised into a proper station with docking ports, repair bays and active defences. Most of the Sisterhood took breaks from the frontlines at Morioka in the past, although these days many of them prefer to relax on Chanai instead, helping out in their spare time with the Biodome projects.
For over a century and a half the station has been important coordinating forces with Ainu Depot due to its relative proximity to the Hokkaido jump hole, especially with the construction of other bases within Tau-65, and it remains an important station and resting place for Golden Chrysanthemum forces, despite most of the families and recreational facilities being moved to Chanai. Many people also visit to view the spectacular rings around the planet Hiura, which lies close by Morioka, although it is unlikely to have popular appeal as a tourist destination due to the substantial control the Golden Chrysanthemums wield over anyone entering the Tau-65 system.
