Al-Khadra is a sprawling and primarily subterranean base that serves as the main production center for Bar-Kemal Limited’s defense division, including its indigenous mobile suit line, and is one of the few large-scale bases not directly devoted towards resource extraction of some kind. A well-kept secret among Bar-Kemal’s higher-ups, the installation was actually not constructed by the firm – originally, the base was the Guild’s African headquarters, and while the base’s interior layout has changed significantly under its “new management” there are some idioms of the old Guild architecture still to be found.

The Human Reform League came into possession of the massive Anubis base following a grueling battle that claimed countless “warrior internationalists”, and scores of ruined Tierens can still be found in the dunes and wadis north of the Gabal Musa mountains. With the battle against the Guild still raging in the south, the League abandoned the base shortly after capturing it, eventually selling the scarred but still essentially functional fortress to industrial conglomerate Bar-Kemal Limited. Over the next five years the company invested a significant amount of capital into restoring and revitalizing the base, carving out the old Iris-era mobile suit manufacturing blocks and replacing them with more modern equipment to fabricate weapons of their own designs. The overall base layout is similar to that of the Guild’s original construction, with the largest “floors” only a few stories below the surface of the desert and the smaller diameter ones nearer to the lowest levels, with the defense coordination and command center situated just above a large nuclear power plant at the absolute bottom.

There is a substantial “topside complex” including an airport with hangars and, among other structures, a drill ground with large stadium-like stands for observers (and prospective customers) to watch mobile suit demonstrations, including live fire exercises and simulated combats. In addition to buyers from private security companies, legitimate militias, and other groups, there are also usually more than a handful of Earth Union personnel in attendance owing to the proximity of their Middle Eastern bases on the other side of the Arabian peninsula.

The base maintains a large mobile suit garrison and plentiful defensive emplacements in the surrounding desert. The turreted batteries, mostly mounted in reinforced blockhouses, make good use of natural cover to create kill zones into the wadis that approach the base while avoiding making themselves bulls-eyes for flying mobile suits thanks to being topped with an antiaircraft gun or two depending on the size of the bunker. The base’s garrison is housed in a large hangar complex below the surface, and uses elevators to deploy its mobile suits to staging areas in the topside complex. There are also a handful of access passages that permit deployments into the wadi just north of the base, which are usually sealed off via large blast doors and flanked by a few turrets to deter sneaky invaders from trying to break in. The desert floor itself has been mostly clear of mines, but the wadis – some of which are tall enough to totally conceal a mobile suit – are still riddled with them except in a few areas to make it more difficult for enemy mobile suits to occupy them.
