SETTING INFORMATION
- Classification: Civilian station/production facility/Refinery
- Location: Praeda system
- Affiliation:
- Mandal-Elysium Arms, Ownership 51%
- Elysium Empire, resident government. Ownership UNDISCLOSED PERCENTAGE
- Population: Crowded, 1.5 billion
- Demographics: Comprised of the species/races of the Elysium Empire, most notably:
- Humans (about 50% of the populace)
- Chiss
- Wookies
- Trandoshans
- Mon Calamari
- Dorneans
- Mandalorians
- Accessibility: This station has been recently opened to the public upon its completion, and is highly accessible to all. However, because the station is protected by several built-in gravity well generators, traveller’s cannot simply drop out of hyperspace right next to it. Once exiting hyperspace, a traveller must complete the last leg of his/her journey with sublight engines, just like if this was a planet.
- Traffic: Congested
- Internal transportation is always bustling:
- Overcrowded public transit
- Personal speeders
- “Claustrophobically” crowded foot traffic.
- External Traffic is endless and requires heavy intervention by flight controllers
- Gridlocks occur often whenever a Navy warship requires emergency repairs and is given the “right-of-way”
- Haulers, freighters, merchant ships come and go for commerce and trade.
- Heavy personal traffic for civilians that live on the station for visiting families and whatnot.
- Internal transportation is always bustling:
- Description: Upon a glance, this station is a bustling industrial powerhouse, with heavy space traffic coming and going, and obvious facilities. It is overwhelmingly massive, and beams of electrical energy pulse out of both ends intermittently as it harnesses the power of the magnetospheres of the two planets that it sits in-between.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Administration Sector - the station’s government and management departments are positioned here.
- Residential Sector - where all the civilians are housed. Civilian amenities such as entertainment, educational, and local retail is mostly here.
- Agriculture sector - where food is grown for the station
- Industrial Sector - where the refineries, factories, and warehouses are established. Research and Development and science labs are also in this sector.
- Shipyards and Docks - where ships are built, repaired, modified, or receive general maintenance. This is also where travelling ships dock to load and offload people and cargo.
- Engineering sector - runs right through the centre of the station, top-to-bottom.
- Marine Corps Barracks - where the marines are kept so they can protect the station from serious threats.
- Basic Military Academy - where new troops and officers are enlisted and given basic training before being sent elsewhere to receive specialized profession training.
- External Security:
- Overlapping (x4)deflector shields
- Supported by (x4) VT-Focus arrays
- Also supported by (x4) SE-151 Shield Force Multiplier
- Case-hardened Beskar-durasteel laminated armor hull in sensitive areas.
- Case-hardened durasteel-quadanium laminated armor all over the ship.
- Hundreds of powerful tractor beams
- Hundreds of Point Defence Lazers
- Gravity Well Generator (X10)
- Overlapping (x4)deflector shields
- Internal Security:
- Millions of security personnel and local police officers to keep the peace
- Ray shields at key points for humane defensive measures
- Tactically positioned automated blaster turrets for defence against enemy military/pirate boarders
- Internal Marine Garrison for serious problems
- Classification: Civilian station/production facility/Refinery
- Length: 30,000 meters
- Width: 20,000 meters
- Height: 80,000 meters
- Armament: None
- Defenses: Extreme
- Overlapping (x4)deflector shields
- Supported by (x4) VT-Focus arrays
- Also supported by (x4) SE-151 Shield Force Multiplier
- Case-hardened Beskar-durasteel laminated armor hull in sensitive areas.
- Case-hardened durasteel-quadanium laminated armor all over the ship.
- Hundreds of powerful tractor beams
- Hundreds of Point Defence Lazers
- Gravity Well Generator (X10)
- Millions of security personnel and local police officers
- Robust Anti-hacking/malware defences
- Overlapping (x4)deflector shields
- Hangar Space: Extreme
- Hundreds of different sized hangers, some are capable of hosting vessels up to 2000 meters long.
- Several dozen umbilical mooring points for hosting vessels of any size.
- hundreds of drydock stalls for building/servicing hundreds of ships under 2000 meters
- 33 drydock stalls for building/servicing a vessel that is between 2000 and 5000 meters each.
- A central drydock stall that is fit to build/service up to 2 vessels that are between 5000 and 10,000 meters long.
- Maneuverability Rating: Average
- Speed Rating: Low
- Hyperdrive: Class 3
STANDARD FEATURES
- All standard features
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Internal agriculture domes for food
- Gravity Well Generators
- Adjustable artificial gravity systems
- Highly innovative power grid that draws power from the interacting magnetic poles of the planets Hammer and Anvil
- Robust backup reactors, which are used in emergencies if the power flow between Hammer and Anvil is disrupted in any way. This power source is not enough to run the refinery/production facilities, but can provide enough power to keep the agricultural domes and civilian facilities going.
- Massive state-of-the-art production facilities:
- Ore refinery
- Advanced Beskar ore refinery (specially noted)
- Manufacturing facilities
- Shipyard production facilities
STRENGTHS
- Gravity defence - this station is protected by many massive gravity well generators that create an field that extends to the gravity wells of the two planets that orbit around it. This is to protect the station from getting surprised by a fleet of invaders at close range.
- Well protected - laminated Armor, overlapping reinforced shields, and heavy point defense make this station a tough nut to crack.
WEAKNESSES
- Damages are catastrophic - the highly dense civilian population of the station means that any damages that are suffered in substantial combat are devastating to the society that lives here.
- Highly coveted - the valuable materials that are produced and stored here are sought after by pirates and raiders, making this station a tempting target.
DESCRIPTION
Built by refugees, for refugees.
This station was built as a compromise between those in the Elysium Empire that wanted to claim territory, and those that desired to maintain the safety allotted by their spacefaring roots. It also provides a habitable home for the people that choose to live in the otherwise uninhabitable, yet resource rich Praeda System. To the corporate side of the Elysium Empire, this station is the single, most innovative economic engine in the whole empire.
Upon stumbling on the Praeda System, Loreena Arenais-Valhoun and her team of scientists discovered an unprecedented Beskar ore reserve on the planet Anvil. The discovery of this rare and extremely valuable resource in such abundance enticed all of the corporate members of the Elysium Empire to support the creation of this massive station.
The project was successfully kept as a secret for two years as the station was built rapidly under the oversight of the Mandal-Elysium Arms corporation, who controls 51% of the corporate interests of the station. As the station was being built, civilians that were living within the Nomadic Imperial Fleet quickly filled the station with a mixed population of imperial descendants and galactic refugees.
Upon the final reveal of Damascus Station to the rest of the galaxy, investments came flooding in and trade contracts were quickly brokered. The management departments of Damascus Station are always looking to make more deals with any potential clients or business partners and has ample unused production facilities that are available for use by ambitious companies of all kinds.
