While the original builders are unknown, many think the fortress of De’hnaalia was built by now extinct locals long ago to take refuge in, store weaponry, and as a seat of power. Used later on by pirates for must of the same reasons. Current dating suggests the fortress is thousands years old; possibly predating the Galactic Republic. Evidence to support this was found in one of the caves deep in the catacombs under the fortress. There a weapon museums can't even get their hands on was found. It predates all energy weapons and its name has since been lost to time.
The fortress was literally carved into the side of a mountain on Yridia IV. The stone is extremely resistant to weathering forces and so it had not changed much since the day it was created. When House Tarentum's explorers found this fortress it was considered as a place for the Clan to reside until it was discovered that it can easily be detected from orbit. Wanting more secrecy, the Clan foundered moved in system, forgetting about the stone fortress until recently.
With a growing population on Yridia IV the fortress suddenly became more of an importance. Not wanting any extremists claiming residence within the walls, the Clan quickly set to work securing the facility. It is now under the jurisdiction of the reverted house.
