Archaeology Base

The Archaeology Base was the Mondite center of operations on Daedalus to investgate the ancient Phyxx.

The ground was broken to establish the building of the formal Base within the side of the crater of Mount Sion using thematerial from the Kasenko. When preliminary excavation of the base interior was completed the level of the Acid Lake inside the crater inexplicably started to rise delaying further construction. After engulfing over 95% of the available land mass inside the crater and cresting, the lake level held steady. Then Commander Wilm was killed when a large flooring section broke free of its support and fell on top of him. He died instantly and Security Officer K.C. Caynan took over.

Eventually the base was completed more than 100 days behind the original mission schedule.

The Mondites were in communication blackout. They were to sent letters only once in every three months, without ever mentioning names, duties or locations.

One of the discoveries included information about a variety of reflective alien shielding either inherently or mechanically able to repel ALL FORMS of energy. The scientists believed that as a shield to encase the FTL interstellar engines it would be invaluable.
