Badlands Base 024

Badlands Base 024 is one of numerous bases constructed in the outlying systems of Republic Space as part of the Badlands Project. Like it's 'cousins', Badlands 024 serves mainly as a way-station for minor Republic Military or Civilian vessels on their way out, or returning into, Republic territory. As with the others, 024 posseses a Company-sized detachment of Clone Troopers, although like many at the remote but relativly unimportant bases are rookies in need of deployment experiance.

In 1 ACEW, the base was the site of the Battle of Badlands 024.

History
Shortly following the 'Shift' that brought the worlds that would make up the Republic of United Planets, from the home galaxy and into the Milky Way, the Republic initiated the Badlands Project, designed to inhabit a number of small, native, worlds on the outer edges of Republic Territory to serve as way stations and early warning installations. 024 was built with the first batch of bases and for the first few months of its life, was relativly uneventful. During this time Clone Captain Dex was in command of the Company of 'Shinies', and Jedi Padawan Akoa Taylar also arrived at the base and used it as a launching point for scouting missions for the Jedi High Council.

In mid-1 ACEW the base was attacked by, then-unknown, alien attackers.
