Description: Ancient by most standards, the station was set in place by an unknown species and decayed in orbit after they disappeared. Crashing into a section of the mountain range it sat there for centuries until the earth and forest grew over it. The fleeing Kokiden felt it in a vision for its importance. She came to the mountains and found the ship using it to protect herself and slowly building her own village over the years with a tower on top of the entrance. While most believed she and those who came to the village stayed within the tower in secret they went into the ship itself.

The ship offered them protection and learning how to use it they were able to observe and even communicate with each other in the mountains. Gathering supplies and materials needed to continue to build up their home. Over the centuries the secret of the station came to be known as the Keisei's greatest thing. Masters of the Floating World and artists. The credits and currencies they received from around the world itself allowed them to improve their own homes and the village around them. The tower being replaced with stone and they continued to build themselves up.

Over the thousands of years as the station served to become home and the Keisei more reclusive and secretive they sold off what was in the hanger to make space, weapons and most of the systems. Keeping the barest essentials as the engines and reactor would not serve much. INstead using connections and their wealth to get new defenses. A planetary shield designed to be powered by the ships reactor lets them protect the village and station. A stronger high powered reactor when they heard the news of its power and construction droids tech. A molecular furnace that could be used.

The Keisei have worked to keep the station a secret far longer then many realize with a larger tower and order built upon it. Using it as they seal away and teach their arts. Rooms converted for different training purposes, vaults for scrolls and books they have recorded. Journals that have been set up and a computer system designed to archive all of their knowledge of atrisian emperors, lords, ladies, warlords, people of interest. Stories and musings from the different Keisei over the centuries. A vast collection of robes, kimono's and gemstones. The Keisei's ship managed to survive the darkness and plague.

In the netherworld it sheltered those Keisei on Atrisia and with the destruction of Jar'kai it was used to provide funding to restore the village. The station's shield being used to protect it from the destruction that was spewing into the air. THe Keisei have continued to keep it a secret and make its very nature something they reveal to everyone and keep so far into the shadows. The stations only means of use is the large storage capacity it has and rooms, defensive shielding and its furnace for construction and reconstruction. Its storehouse of knowledge and information of Kital Phard and Atrisia is second to none.

Under Review.

[member="Junko Ike"], is this "crashed" orbital station still a functional starship/spaceship?

ADVANCED SYSTEMS Molecular Furnace Isotope 5 Reactor

For starships, Isotope-5 requires a Tier IV+ company or major faction to produce.

and functional as in able to fly... no it is crashed and under rock and dirt... it it has systems able to be used like communications and sensors for getting alerts or talking. The station is able to be used with some fo the simple systems.
edited out the reactor

[member="Junko Ike"], if it's not capable of flying, and it's actually functioning as a building, this should probably be a codex sub.

I thought about that but it isn't a factory approved station or canon one. So went for trying to be better safe then sorry.

 

[Gir Quee]

[member="Junko Ike"], no worries. After talking with other factory staff though, we've come to the conclusion that this should be a Codex (Location) sub. If Codex requires a space station sub for that, let us know. We can definitely approve a model of space station for this then, but the submission itself then should be for a functional space station.
