Site 187 is a complete work of fiction, crafted entirely from my imagination in one sitting. As such, there is no "canon" design that needs to be followed, and I encourage all to contribute to this post.
Site 187 is a converted nuclear facility on the northern continent, with its origins tracing as far back as the original settlers of the lush jungle world known as Sheratan. It is built almost entirely underground, and is equipped with a large, subterranean landing bay, with capacity to house a single Union-class DropShip. The landing bay is protected by a set of ferrosteel blast doors which retract to permit vertical takeoff of the DropShip. For obvious reasons, this design prohibits Aerodyne-class DropShips from landing at the Site itself, and thus, any non-conforming AeroTech must find berth at the nearby spaceport, situated in the capitol city of Gellen’s Heights.
The facility is equipped with a high-capacity BattleMech and vehicle service and storage facility, also built beneath the surface, and connected to the landing bay via a large tunnel, which can be sealed in stages via six sets of blast doors should an emergency arise. The BattleMech facility has twelve 'Mech bays, with an additional four allocated to BattleMechs undergoing heavy repairs or extended refits, effectively bringing the total number to sixteen.
There is also a parking garage located in the BattleMech facility, capable of housing up to fifteen support vehicles and ten assault craft. Each parking spot doubles as a service bay, so vehicles in need of repairs need not be moved from their berths in order to be accessed by technicians.
Site 187 was originally equipped with two Excalibur-class, high-yield nuclear missiles, designed for space and atmospheric warfare in situations demanding extremely large-scale destruction over a widespread area. Over ten stories tall, these massive weapons typically found roles as capital ship killers and planetary bombardment devices. The Excaliburs were removed after the FedCom Civil War, and Silo 1 was converted into living and operations space for the installation's crew, while Silo 2 was refit to accommodate a heavy lift system, capable of shuttling 250 tons of cargo (including BattleMechs) between the surface and the lowest levels of the installation. Both silos have interconnecting passages between each level.
SILO 1
1. Surface access, vehicle parking
2. Security
3. Administration (new recruit processing, payroll, etc).
4. Sickbay, mess hall, laundry
5. Crew Quarters, Locker Room
6. Armory
7. Briefing Room, Command Center
8. Battle Simulator, HPG Interfaces
9. Supply
10. Utility
More information still to come - and stay tuned for a complete breakdown of the Legionnaires' inventory, including a management system to keep things balanced.
