| Name: | Otney Base |
|---|---|
| Planet: | Uxton F1 |
| System: | Ibetsus |
| Galaxy: | Euclid |
| Founded by: | The Beacon-Entity |
Otney Base is a large dwelling on the planet Uxton F1. Built inside one of Uxton's mountains by the Beacon-Entity, it includes a docking area and eatery, a grand communal living space with kitchen, an indoor greenhouse, guest quarters, an office loft, a modest owner's suite, efficient basement storage, and an interior emergency shelter. All areas excepting the basement have windowed exposures to Uxton's bright skies, and several include fully open archways for catching the planet's dry desert breezes.
History
I, the Beacon-Entity, began building Otney Base after the Second Shift drastically altered the appearances of the galaxy's planets. Saddened by the loss of my first adopted home's soothing palette, I became interested in returning to each individual planet I had previously visited to thoroughly research the nature of the changes. This was to be a science experiment to pull me out of my gloom... a way to turn disappointment into adventure.
Along the way, the new aesthetic of Uxton F1 captured my attention. Its yellow atmosphere and contrasting blue waters were lovely and unusual, and I was fascinated that its pools and oceans remained warm during the frosty nights. I chose an initial base site on top of a hill overlooking a body of water -- but while surveying the area from that spot, I noticed perfectly conical mountains in the distance. When I walked to them, I knew: I would build my base inside this mountain. It would be a challenge!
My sadness evaporated, and Otney Base grew.
Founders
The following Travellers founded Otney Base:
- The Beacon-Entity
Construction
The following Travellers were involved in Otney Base's construction:
- The Beacon-Entity
The construction of Otney base consumed my energy almost entirely for several consecutive days. I could not stop thinking about the project, and when I wasn't laying foundations or decorating, I was sketching floor plans and carefully measuring space.
I began without any end result in mind. As I built, the scope and purpose of Otney expanded. The office loft was the first room constructed, and the rest fell into place organically.
My first important purpose was to fabricate a relaxing space that captured ample light, and my second was to anticipate the needs of any visitors.
Important Events
Otney Base has kept a low profile and has not experience any events of particular note.
