Tanis Station

Tanis was a hidden Hiigaran shipyard facility located in the Great Tanis Derelict, in the Great Wastelands. The structure of the shipyard was based on a piece of an ancient starship. Tanis Station, the name for the Hiigaran base there, was responsible for the construction of the new Hiigaran Mothership, the Pride of Hiigara.

Overview
Due to military concerns after the Homeworld War, most notably the Burning of Kharak, the New Hiigaran Navy established an extensive capital ship yard in the Great Tanis Derelict capable of building new Mothership-class starships. Because of operational security, the location was kept secret to all but the top members of the Hiigaran government and military.

Individuals who chose to work on Tanis would move their entire families to the facility and those that wish to leave subject to percision mind wipes, to remove any information that could reveal the shipyards location. Individuals who worked or lived on Tanis were nicknamed Ghosts of Tanis.

The Tanis Station was supported by two small defense platforms armed with basic anti-fighter weapons, and Chimera Station, an unarmed base which monitored the area with its sensors and housed fighters.

Following the eruption of the Xindi Conflict, Tanis Station became the leading capital shipyard for the new Coalition Fleet and its primary top secret military research facility.
