Exile's Landing

Exiles' Landing is a military outpost run by the Exiles on the planet of Nordic Frog Beach. After the Exiles' failed military coup of New Alexandria, the surviving members were told that they would be allowed to live, but only if they removed themselves from New Alexandrian lives. The Exiles chose to move to Nordic Frog Beach's northern arctic reaches and established a base there. They've lived there ever since -- the last 38 years.    The Exiles are a capitalist, militarist organization. They believe that financial institutions, workplace competition, and military strength are key to the success of human civilization. Despite their loss in the coup and the mercy they were shown, Alexandrian spies have seen that the Exiles have been building steadily building military strength.    Exiles' Landing is home to a large number of aircraft, submarines, hovertanks, missile stockpiles, and other collections of deadly weapons.

Government

Exiles' Landing employs a military government with a pyramid structure. Its leader has the rank of General. All must obey the orders of everyone higher rank than them, but few actually issue orders outside of their current projects.

Defences

Exiles' Landing is protected by a significant collection of automated and manned defenses. It is known that the water around the bay they use is protected by undersea mines, and that their submarine bays also feature torpedo tubes to use against interlopers.    On the surface, gun turrets -- anti-aircraft, anti-missile, and long-range anti-ship -- are plentiful.   The Exiles are also unafraid to step up in defense of their base. All of them are soldiers, and up to a quarter of the base's population is on active duty at any one time.

Architecture

The settlement's buildings resemble igloos, built that way to preserve warmth. From a distance, Exiles' Landing looks like nothing so much as a close tangle of small hills with electric lights strung between them. With little other than ice to build with, the buildings are carved from ice.    Below the surface buildings there are tunnels carved into the permafrost to provide additional indoor space.

Geography

Exiles' Landing sits on the southern coast of a frozen arctic island. The small city occupies both the surface and below-water sections of a bay and its surrounding waters. The area to the north of the settlement is mostly-lifeless polar ice. The bay that Exiles' Landing is built on is extremely deep, allowing submarines to come and go easily.
