The Earth Union’s Chhattisgarh is a relatively large, and purely military installation, situated at the end of a massive box canyon out on the eponymous district’s rolling plains. The base is located about three hundred miles to the northeast of Visakh Bay, and a relatively large distance from anything of any real importance – the facility was constructed by the Human Reform League solely to act as a reinforced mobile suit base for conducting operations throughout the Indian subcontinent. Because of its creative use of geography, Chhattisgarh is unique among League-constructed bases and is still an unusual fortification even among the Union’s facilities.

The canyon network occupied by the base spreads out for many miles, with the largest terminus the base’s current location. This geographic feature was formed due to a period of tectonic instability following the impact of a colony fragment that pulverized much of Iran in the UC 170s, and looks something like a giant “crow’s foot” wrinkle from high altitudes, with the smaller and more jagged canyons and ravines radiating outward towards the east. The base concourse totally occupies the end of the canyon, with hangars and other structures hugging the walls on either of the latitudinal sides and an airfield filling the center. While having extensive runways, the tall canyon walls make landing larger craft incapable of vertical takeoffs somewhat perilous, and this feature isn’t commonly used. Massive elevators behind the hangar complexes allow access for mobile suits and vehicles out of the canyon and to the surface, although these are less important given the proclivities of the Union’s GN-powered mobile weapons. The turreted defense batteries are placed around the perimeter of the end of the canyon in camouflaged bunkers with retractable mounts, while missile emplacements are hidden below the surface of the airfield in typical Union fashion. A tall administrative building juts up above the top of the canyon, and is the only obvious facet of the base that can been seen from the ground until one approaches the edge or from the air from longer distances – the base’s command center is positioned in the expansive basement of this complex.

With relatively flat terrain for miles and miles in any given direction, and sensor aerials in a commanding position to pick out enemy units on approach, infiltration via the canyon network represents a viable option to approach the base without being seen. To wit, the League installed a variety of optical sensors as well as vibration and motion trackers at various points throughout the mobile suit-sized areas of the ravines to provide early warning of such subterfuge – the Union has modified these “sneak sniffers” with GN particle detection screens, allowing for a very wide range of mobile weapons to be picked up.
