Khmeimim Military Spaceport

The Khmeimim Military Base is a Genji-Japanese airbase in the outskirts of Latakia, Levant Arab Republic. It shares airfield facilities with Bassel Al-Assad International Airport and has an independent spaceport for military use, only accesible to Genji-Japanese personnel. The base is operated by the Navy.

It was initially only an air base but has expanded to include capabilities to serve spaceports. It has received complaints from Israel but the New Empire of Japan reminded them that they sent a notice on the spaceport. To prevent unilateral attacks, anti-aircraft platforms such as Hydra Flak cannons were set up.

When embargoes were placed on the Levant Arab Republic, the spaceport became a hub for transporting and coordinating humanitarian aid. It has also been announced that Bassel Al-Assad International Airport will be upgraded for commercial spaceflight.

Facilities
The base was built from scratch during the early stages of the Levant Unification War with supplies dropped from space in the initial construction phase. Facilities separate from Bassel Al-Assad International Airport include air traffic control tower, runway extensions, storage facilities, field kitchens, and refuelling stations. The base was used to carry assistance to the Combined Syrian Forces.

The most recent additions allowed spacecraft to operate in the base. This eliminated the requirement for all supplies to come from Almaty Spaceport in Central Asia, making resupplies faster. In the case of war and airspace becomes unavailable, supplies can be shipped from the Black Sea, crossing the Bosphorus.

Defences
The Khmeimin is guarded by multiple layers of sophisticated combined air defence.
