The compound.

The Bacredi Family owns a home on Dantooine, commonly called the Bacredi Family Compound. The house is located on Sheffield Island, the location of the compound and the compound alone. The house is on a one hundred and seven thousand acre plot of land. One parcel of the land is devoted to an underground power source – which in turn is matched with an underground complex, fully equipped with a hangar bay and a 12-seat holo chamber, a room for meditation, sleeping arrangements (in small rooms that are part of a large room that is for recreational activities), a prisoner-chamber, and an intelligence-gathering sect.

The original Bacredi Park (not the present Compound, visible on the public road at the entrance to the drive) was built between 42 BBY and 41 BBY as one of a series of small Compounds designed for Brion Bacredi II by Tyr Bacredi I. It was remodeled between 39 BBY and 38 BBY according to designs of Gregory Keppel. It was altered in 37 BBY by Sir John Soane for Duke Clarence Bacredi (later Head of the House), who lived there until 36 BBY. Bacredi Park was subsequently used by Brion Bacredi II, Head of the Bacredi House (which was disbanded), nephew of Governor Masion. The Head added pieces of property between the estate and Dantooine farms; his wife, Mary, continued to live there after his death until she moved out in the middle of 34 BBY. The original house was demolished in 32 BBY.

A new building with 120 rooms was completed in 30 BBY. The 30 BBY census records an equerry and 26 servants living in the main house: a butler, two valets, a cook, three kitchen maids, a page, a porter, a scullery maid, two other junior posts and a soldier. The other domestic staff lived in one of the Compounds. From 29 BBY this was the principal residence of Brion Bacredi III. The house was thereafter the regimental headquarters and depot of the Arthur Family, which it had been sold to by the Bacredi’s who were undergoing a financial crisis. The house was later bought by the Bacredi family. Under the rotunda is the sublevel: the sublevel is where storage chambers are, bedrooms for people the family has invited but doesn’t like, and hologram rooms. At the end of the sublevel is the family archives—it shows everything about BacCo and the family’s holdings, everywhere. The sublevel also holds the protocol and astromech fleet of the family, the droids are usually seen patrolling the area of the sublevel. The sublevel is the largest visible part of Bacredi’s manor, and it also holds an entrance to the underground complexes of the manor.

The underground complexes of the manor—formally known as the “Stronghold”, is where the Bacredi family’s ideals were created. First sought out three hundred years ago by family architect, Liam Bacredi, the plans were buried into the archives after Liam died a few days later in an accident. Tragic. The plans were brought up a couple years later by Mr. Tyr Bacredi the Fourth, and he used his own funds to build it. The stronghold had an underground hangar that was able to open up on the grass plains (where there was turf that looked like grass) and had a freighter for escape, along with close to seventy other rooms and contraptions. Zhar Bacredi lived here as a child up until he joined the military, where he since bought a four room apartment on Tadath.
