MacArthur
What to know
MacArthur (Kilian V) is a habitable planet in the Kilian system and the seat of the UEE Navy. The planet was terraformed to Human specifications, and most of its surface is occupied by MacArthur Naval Base, the largest Navy base in the UEE, which houses the Navy's headquarters, shipyards, academies, boot camps, and hospitals. As a result, civilian travel on the planet is tightly restricted. MacArthur is named after a famed army general of the previous millennium, an irony its naval personnel are said to enjoy.

Military presence
The base's surface facilities include boot camps (known locally as Forges), officer training programs, flight academies, and medical centers.
The Kilian system maintains one of the heaviest standing military patrol presences in UEE space, comparable only to deployments along the Vanduul frontier.
Orbital infrastructure
MacArthur is encircled by spatial moorings, drydocks, and shipyards operated by major spacecraft manufacturers, including Anvil Aerospace and Roberts Space Industries. Some of the largest vessels in the known universe are assembled here, among them the Bengal-class strike carrier.
The concentration of military and industrial demand makes MacArthur a profitable market for merchants supplying processed ores, weapons components, shield generators, and other capital-ship materials. A black-market trade catering to the planet's large transient crew population also operates locally.
UEE Naval Flight Academy
MacArthur has hosted the UEE Naval Flight Academy since 2632, making it one of the oldest of the United Empire of Earth's service academies. The academy commissions officers into the UEE Navy; most graduates go on to combat squadrons, while others crew capital or support vessels.
