Fort Leniex was originally excavated in 817 AS as the headquarters and main shipyard of the Hellfire Legion. Leniex was consistently expanded over the course of many years, housing a large portion of the Legion's senior officers and producing the majority of the movement's post-defection warships. Following the deployment of the first Arbiter class battleships in 819 AS, the LSF issued an enormous bounty for information regarding the location of Legion shipyard facilities. Access to Leniex was tightly restricted, with the facility heavily guarded through both internal security features and a significant garrison fleet -- its location was one of the Legion's most closely guarded secrets.
By the time the Liberty Commonwealth was founded in 822 AS, Leniex's military officers were accustomed to exercising unilateral authority over their own forces. This resulted in friction with civilian officials who frequently imposed themselves on the Legion's activities in the name of democratic oversight. This came to a head in 827 AS with the Scouring of Bering and the formation of the Liberty Insurgency. As the Insurgency launched a military coup against the Commonwealth it saw as ineffective, Leniex sent its garrison to subdue Planet Veracruz and establish a military governor. The Fort was then formally appointed as the Insurgency's military capital and tasked with coordinating the defense against Liberty's ongoing campaign.
By early 829 AS, the Liberty Navy's offensive had driven the Insurgency out of Pennsylvania, broken through the defenses in Kansas and pushed on into Vespucci. As Liberty laid siege to Planet Veracruz, supplies at Leniex ran desperately low. Commanders acknowledged the situation was hopeless and ordered Leniex be scuttled, and the surviving combatants scatter. It was agreed that a last stand would inevitably see the station discovered, compromising secrets about the Insurgency's informants, suppliers, partners and even families. Charges detonated across the complex destroyed databanks, gutted the interior and shattered two of the three drydocks.
While many of the Insurgency's survivors fled abroad or to other organizations, others fell into despair, wallowing aboard Freeport 14 and other remote stations. Exploiting this vulnerability, the Vagrants acquired these individuals through manipulative siren songs of redemption or revenge, expanding their Thrall network into Liberty. In this way, the Wendigos first became aware of Leniex, with attempts to partially restore the complex beginning in late 834 AS. The much-diminished facility is now known as Leniex Outpost, serving as the nerve center for the Infiltrators that steer the Wendigo's Thralls, and the primary site for Vagrant experimentation on their own strains of hybridized technologies.
