History

The Xizor Transport Systems XQ4 Platform was a heavy duty platform that serves as a stationary garrison and depot in orbit of Yridia II. The Aegis was constructed during the Quaestorship of Wil Striker, and was the home base for all of Tarentum's ships, acting as a re-supply depot and as a stopping point for passing ships in Tarentum's domain.

The Aegis was the centerpiece of Tarentum Home Guard and was under the command of the Governor-General, Rekio Corsair Tarentae. It was destroyed in 32 ABY when a Hunter piloting the MC80 Renegade attacked the platform during a confrontation with the ISDII Magnus Kaerner.

The Svalinn platform was built up to replace the loss of the Aegis, though it took nearly two years to complete the project, due to conflicts and other episodes in Yridia that caused delays. The Svalinn returns to the orbit around Yridia II that the Aegis once occupied, and has become a point of pride with Tarentum that their losses are being accounted for, and built upon.


Role

As with the Aegis before it, the Svalinn platform acts as a waypoint and supply depot for all of Tarentum's ships, as well as being the focal point for all of ship maintenance and repair for Task Force Piranha. The Svalinn acts under orders and administration by the Governor-General, and continues to act as a focal point for defense of the Yridia system in times of conflict.
