The Powerbase of Sith Hazlem and her Associates
Declassified Assets
The Ophidian Vale
A territory on Belkadan containing roughly 8,300 civilians under the direct governance of Sith Hazlem. The Vale's infrastructure is at standard residential level for the Empire and is peaceful and secure, patrolled by a Peacekeeper division of over a hundred lightly trained and armed men, as well as a division of a dozen highly trained and armed Irregulars. The Ophidian Vale operates a large logging and agricultural industry.
The Vale Bacta Farm
A modular multi-story hydroponic nutrient solution farm for the Alazhi and Kavam bacteria, able to export enough bacteria to create several dozen litres of Bacta daily, albeit not the Ambori to mix with it. Contained within the Ophidian Vale.

The Sworn Duty
A Quartermaster-Class Ship with retrofitted specs; although the hyperdrive, shields and nav-system remain the same the hull has been further reinforced with Duranium plating and a medbay bed has been installed within, as have several refrigerated cabinets. The ship is largely unpainted and unmarked. It was purchased by Lord Kalkoran as a reward for the service of Sith Hazlem.
The Zealot
A standard-issue Fury Class Interceptor in industry-stand paint scheme and its name painted across its side. It is equipped with a standard Fury-Class layout with the exception of a miniature laboratory in place of the rear bedroom and a large morgue/biostore section within the storage room. It is staffed by a co-pilot droid under the name of Z-L0Z, and was retrieved from the assets of the Exile in the wake of his death.
The K'lorlings
A proprietary blend of Human and K'lor Slug genetics with bestial intellect. These creatures appear as muscular male humans with ruddy orange-red skin, long chitinous claws and large mandibles. They possess leathery skin which affords mild armouring, and their claws and bite are highly nephrotoxic. Their primary function is as morale breakers and ravagers against civilian targets. Sith Hazlem holds roughly a dozen of them within the [redacted] facility.
The Gunclaws
A proprietary blend of Gundark and Shaclaw genetics. These creatures are colossal, effectively gundarks festooned with the chitinous armoring of a shaclaw, as well as scythe-claws on their larger forearms capable of crushing light tank armor with ease. Upon death the Gunclaws will emit an invisible cloud of powerfully hemotoxic poison for several hours. These beasts are capable of opposing even heavy enemy formations for a short time, and crushing comparatively large groups of armed and armored, trained soldiers. Hazlem keeps roughly half a dozen of these within the [redacted] facility.
Cathar Warbeasts
Genetically and surgically modified Cathars, lobotomized to the intellectual level of beasts. They are Cathar with greatly enhanced low-light vision, scent and pheromonal tracking, metallic incisors and claws which inject hemotoxic poisons, enhanced muscle strength in their limbs, spinal shock implants for control and a psychological tendancy towards a berserker rage. Sith Hazlem holds roughly a dozen of them within the [redacted] facility.
Classified Assets
An expansive residential and laboratory facility on [redacted], equipped with heavy anti-air capabilities as well several automated anti-personnel systems. The [Redacted] Facility
The Ophidian Vale Bio-Research Facility
The Bio-Research facility is a large manufacturing complex within the Ophidian Vale, hidden behind tall walls with heavy turret emplacements bristling from them and patrols of armed men around its perimeter. The facility is expansive - larger than the average factory, and is utterly secretive. Within the people of the Vale produce and maintain a healthy stockpile of Chlorine artillery shells, surpluses of Lisk, Pelko, Shaclaw and K'lor'slug venoms, sizeable cultures of anthrax, anxbane and botulism pathogens as well as a large, secured population of Stone Mites.
