DESCRIPTION |
The lynchpin of the Keera Major Orbital Array is intended to stand on par with or even surpass the Orbital Array in orbit above the Planet of Kuat. Aether Systems poured its heart and soul into the construction of the Olympus-class and for good reason, the Company has continued to deepen the bonds between it and the Galactic Alliance even as conflict once more grips the Galaxy in its fist. Hosting the Headquarters of Aether Systems after having recently moved to Kreea Major from Taris; additional internal sectors remain available to expand into or otherwise house additional Corporate Headquarters, Branch Offices, or Minor Locations. The Station itself remains a Civilian Station, and though it is heavily defended, it lacks the heavier armaments and offensive weaponry such as those that are installed on the various Capital Ships and War Ships that are produced in its Drydocks. As its primary focus is on the manufacturing of Starships, much of the station is dominated by these Drydocks and Hangars that can easily lay down the frame of a Starship and in some cases complete its construction in a Galactic Standard Day - though much larger vessels often take additional time though are still completely in rapid succession. The upper Sectors of the primary central structure include a number of amenities and residential sectors in order to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of workers, administrators, engineers, and visitors present on the Station; a happy worker is an efficient worker. However, as many of these amenities are housed inside Habitation Domes present in the upper sectors of the main structure, these areas make for a tantalizing target even with the heavier defenses present in these areas. Unfortunately, these sectors are not invincible, with damage to the area, specifically a break in the outer shell, having the potential for a catastrophic loss of life. Where the Olympus-class excels and shows its true strength is in its manufacturing capability as seen in the vast array of Manufacturing Hangars and Star Destroyer Drydocks that dominate the vast structure. In more recent days, it has been noted, that during the process in which a Starship is launched after completion, the shields in that particular dock or hangar need to be lowered to allow the vessel to pass through; this has resulted in accidentally providing the means in which a smaller vessel can easily sneak in during the time it takes to launch a larger vessel. Likewise, this limited window can provide the opportunity for a small Starfighter to infiltrate a specific section and wreak havoc on the internal structure of the station in these areas. With Aether Systems maintaining its staunch support of the Galactic Alliance, the need to ensure that the needs of the Alliance were being met also resulted in the greatest attribute of the Olympus-class Station. Located at the extreme Outer Sectors of the station are the Omega, Sigma, and Omnicron Drydocks, the crowning achievement of the station, these specialty Drydocks are capable of laying down the structure of the most massive ships imaginable. These specific Drydocks are utilized in the construction of Dreadnoughts, or as is the more likely case, the production of a Super Star Destroyer. It is for this reason that the Olympus-class is under constant protection and Aether Systems ensures that its location remains well guarded; with it likely being a primary target for attack - to disable or destroy - should its location ever become known. The Olympus-class Station solidifies the future of Aether Systems and provides the means to ensure that it can continue producing Capital Ships and Starships of all sizes for the Galactic Alliance as well as the Commercial Market. Even with it being an unarmed civilian station with a proverbial target painted on its back, its capabilities in the production of Starships more than make the risk of constructing and operating such a behemoth worthwhile. |
