| - Agley Airfield, sometimes known by the name given to the UNSC Air Force, and later Victorian Independent State section of the base, Adams Air Force Base, was the general and military aviation facility for the city of Agley, capital of Victoria both under UEG and Insurrectionist control. Built in 2473 following the colonization of the planet, the Agley Airfield serviced mainly civilian patrons, although there were several aircraft from the Colonial Military Administration based there as well. However, in 2492, after a pro-Far Isle activist broke into the area where the CMA aircraft were being kept and vandalized one, security was upped in the area, and in 2501, with the CMA losing most of its resources to the UNSC, a part of the airfield was sectioned off. Used by the UNSC Air Force, the military section of the base became known as Adams Air Force Base, after Captain Edward Adams, who was killed in combat in 2496 against Insurrectionists on Eridanus II. After the Victorian Independent State took power in 2537, the layout of the airfield was kept the same for the most part, although an addition was made to the military section of the base to train new pilots for the Victorian Independent Air Force, although such visions of a massive air force were never realized, and it was mostly used as storage. In 2553, the entire airfield was destroyed by UNSC air attack, believing that the VIAF was still stationed there, when its combat aircraft had been evacuated the morning before. The airfield was later rebuilt in 2554 and continued to serve Victoria's population for decades to come.
