Imperial Detention Center

The Imperial Detention Center was a prison complex on the planet Orinackra.

Description

The Detention Center was a vertical building built along the outcropping cliffs of the planet Orinackra. There was no way that connected the main entrance to the outside world, except from a shuttle carrier.

Inside, two main elevators traversed the height of the building: one served the low-security levels down to the command center (zero, two, four, and five); the other went up from the command center to the high-security blocks (five, three, and one), which were controlled from the inside.^[1]^[2]

Some parts of the facility were accessible by entering a combination of letters from the Atrisian script into code locks.^[3] Other sections were closed by Force fields. Corners around the facility were trapped with I.M. mines.^[2]

For some reason, stashes of supplies were hidden behind false walls.^[4]

Layout

The first level of the facility included the shuttle carrier platform just outside the main gates. Behind them where several elevators and control rooms before the proper prison block. An underground shaft connected to the high-security elevator shaft led to the garbage compactor infested by some Dianogas.^[4]

The first level was accessible only via the high-security elevator. A large, guarded hall, with an adjacent control room where officers held strategic meetings, led to the most important cellblock of the facility where Crix Madine was held; doors opened by the means of a code lock. A maintenance door led to the sewer.^[4]

The second level included only one cell, accessible through a code lock, the Officer of the level being responsible for its code key, colored blue.^[4]

Symbol of the third high-security level.

The third level, accessible via the high-security elevator, had two elevated cells, accessible via walkways; right under the walkways was a dark area trapped with mines. Again, the cells opened from a code lock, and Imperial Officers carried their code keys.^[4]

The fourth level contained a cellblock of six cells; the cellblock was behind a hall blocked by a Force field. The Force field could be turned off temporarily either from a lever in a control room, or a corresponding level in a maintenance shaft over the other side.^[4]

The fifth level included the command center, and it was the only place accessed by both elevators. It included several halls, blocked by Force fields, and the prisoner execution chamber; beyond that was a room housing the red keycard accessing the maintenance room behind the elevator shaft.^[4]

History

Crix Madine as a prisoner in a first high-security level cell of the Detention Center.

Imperial defector Crix Madine was arrested aboard the Arc Hammer by Rom Mohc, and immediately taken to Orinackra. He was held in the second level awaiting execution.^[1] Earlier, he had provided the Rebel Alliance with information concerning the Dark Trooper project.^[2]

Rebel Alliance agent Kyle Katarn rescued Madine from the prison during the Galactic Civil War.^[2]
