Fort Brass

INTELLIGENCE & SECURITY HOLDING

---

For the worst of the enemies of the Hessians, it is considered rather unfortunate to find oneself detained within Fort Brass. Decades of experience in psychology and the breaking of human will are wielded by highly trained officers, whose methods are often reinforced through the liberal use of chemical agents capable of reducing even the strongest mind to an artificial stupor. Yet interrogation is only part of what awaits the prisoners held here.

There are the fighting pits. A brutal spectacle designed to feed the darker instincts of those who watch. Prisoners deemed resilient enough are forced into the arena, where survival becomes the only currency left to them. Those who remain unbroken are made to fight, often to the death, for the chance to live another day.

Those considered valuable for the information they possess are neither executed nor granted any hope of escape. Instead, they are subjected to daily interrogations where trained officers employ a variety of psychological and physical methods designed to slowly erode their resistance. Once the interrogators believe the prisoner has been sufficiently weakened, they are returned to the holding cells among the rest of the detainees. There, carefully planted rumors and fabricated stories are allowed to spread, fostering mistrust and hostility between the prisoners. Suspicion grows, alliances collapse, and isolation does the work that interrogation alone cannot. Over time, even the strongest wills begin to fracture and knowledge finds its way to the interrogators.

Within Fort Brass, resistance rarely survives for long and few leave unchanged.

RESEARCHERS & EXPLORERS

Researchers and explorers who seek to study the depths of the Omegas are welcomed at Fort Brass. The station offers accommodations, supplies, and logistical support in exchange for the information and data gathered during their expeditions.

Observations, scans, recovered artifacts, and navigational records are carefully catalogued upon their return. The knowledge brought back from these dangerous regions often contributes directly to the research programs operating within the station and helps unravel the many mysteries that still linger within the Omegas.
