 Currently I endeavoring to write a small story concerning the exploits of a Essex Class Destroyer, but here is the twist it belongs to a special forces unit of the Star League(IE Black Ops.) and for that I am modifying the design to somewhat the extreme scale of the design's capabilities due to this the ship is nicknamed the Beast, the general information for building the ship is provided in the Essex write up, but what I am looking for is information about where the ship itself could have been sent for the massive and extensive modifications to its hull and structure that could handle the work yet be away from prying Bug Eyes (pardon the SL pun) the time period I am currently shooting for is 2720, also was there any information put out concerning possible Star League Spec Op's forces or organizations ?

There are tons of places where the work could have been. One possibility is camelot command in the Black Nebula, others are the Ross 248 and Luten 62-68 (I think I have numbers right) that are near Terra.  The SLDF probably had other hidden shipyards but those are the ones that I know of.

As for spec forces there are several different forces-
The Deneb Light Cavalry were a rapid reaction force
The SAS (special armed services) was a counter-terrorist force- not sure if they existed in the 2720 era
There was the All Weather Combat Corps - mech battalions trained for combat in exotic environments
There is also the Special Forces Aero Wing of which all we know about them is their name.

There were probably other units- the information on SLDF Spec Forces is fairly sketchy.

 Actually that's a good start the unit I was envisioning would be able to do both aerospace and if needed ground ops, hmm might be able to do this then, a blending of the Deneb with the Aerospace spec force should work fairly well by sheer nature it will need to be a Combined Arms Force, this is beginning to get the wheels turning, thanks for the input, if any one else has some ideas or info that would help me out I would appreciate the input Irose was the Ross and other point not built later in history to support the liberation of Terra and its worlds ? ?

Special Operations Aerospace Regiments (SOAR) featured in Fanbook 3- Mercenary Guild might be a perfect fit. ;)

Well if the belter's section of Intersteller Players Vol 2 is to be believed- Ross 248 dates back to the THAF days.  I think the details on the systems are vague enough that you can say they existed in 2720.

 Just for a quick up date, I was thinking of going with the Camolet Base but then noticed how far it was from the target site Graham V, so I decided for the sake of the story and to be honest practical distance for a ship that is still a single jump craft that the hidden Ross point would be better, the one other facor I forgot to take into account was the fact during this time period Mobile shipyards was available and considering the secrecy and security certain ones had ie the Newgrainge class I think was the name from the TRO 2800, I know the mainstream time line put out a larger version of the same name and type, but since the TRO 2800 did not force me to spend money I will go with that version ;). Thank Goodness for one person that was nice enough to send me the HMA files for at least the lost war ships now I know at least what the Naga looks like pre Jihad lol.
