The Ammuud Mountain Research Complex is a high security research facility located in the northern most mountain range of the planet Ammuud. The facility is owned and operated by Core Galaxy Systems. It is a massive twelve level laboratory complex that rests one kilometer underground and is dug out of the living bedrock. It is encased in a duracrete shell reinforced with a duranium alloy and capable withstanding heavy bombardment from even the most powerful of star destroyers. The exact location of the lab is known only a select few and the entrances are well camouflaged. Projects at the lab cover such fields as robotics, genetics, weapons development, and even such controversial fields such as alchemy and “fringe science.”
