McKenzie Holdings has provided RCES with a small facility for use as a scout base, at no cost to RCES. They have also formally petitioned for status as a client-state of the RC.
McKenzie Station is mostly underground, and is divided into several "blocks" (sections). These blocks were not built all at the same time. Rather, a block was built or upgraded as needed. Tunnels average 2.8 meters high and 2.5 meters wide (7 m^2 cross-sectional area).
McKenzie Station is comprised of the following "blocks" (sections):
(Blocks) | Power | Maint |
10x Basic Hangar Pits | -1.92 | 0 |
2x Enclosed Hangar Pits | -7.665 | 380 |
2x Vehicle Hangar/Repair Bays | +31.461 | 4 |
2x Fuel Bunkers | (0) | 122 |

3x Apartment / Living Quarters | -0.537 | 12 |
1x TL-12 Command Center | +3.7075 | 53 |

As stated previously, McKenzie Station (a class D starport) was expanded from a former class G spaceport. The former space port consisted of two runways, six basic hangar pits (see below) in a radial arrangement, an underground fuel bunker (see below) and a control/administration building.
In early 1201, they renovated all six of the hangar pits and used a "seeker" (modified scout/courier) for the power supply, sensors & commo gear, and living quarters. They used up a small relic TL-14 fusion reactor for the 1.152 MW of power needed whenever the "seeker" had to leave.
In mid-1201, they finished the first vehicle hangar & repair bay, giving them a permanent power supply and living quarters, regardless of however many ships were there. They renovated the underground fuel bunker and finished a fuel refinery.
In late 1201, they enclosed one of the hangar pits, which allowed for repairs or maintenance to be performed on a ship while in a "shirt sleeves" environment. They also finished the second vehicle hangar & repair bay as well as two apartment blocks.
In early 1202, they enclosed another hangar pit, and they finished another apartment block and the TL-12 command center. They also excavated another six basic hangar pits (in another radial arrangement) on the other side of a runway. They decided to give three of the new hangars to RCES for use as a scout base. They also finished another underground fuel bunker.

Note:(The high number of level-1 and level-2 skills is because she was used as a "spare" PC for about one game year.)
"Rocky" is the owner of McKenzie Holdings and is the closest thing to an actual "commander" they have at McKenzie Station (she would describe her job as "chief fire-stomper and all-around troubleshooter"). She is seldom without one of her pets (they look like a cross between a flying squirrel and a bat).

Joshua has just recently joined his sister, Maria, in this venture on
Adrian. Joshua (he *hates* his tac-code) will usually be the one to
perform the necessary public relations, going to Aubaine, Aurora, or
wherever else needed.
