|
A space station, which has been mostly abandoned. Currently, there's only a few |
|
|
|
people on it (compared to what it used to look like), maintaining systems and |
|
|
|
simply living. It used to be a mining base, however, the crew moved to the new |
|
|
|
station in another location and abandoned this one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, it has been mostly downscaled to reduce resources needed to run it |
|
|
|
and all the spaces have been converted for different purposes. Ore storages |
|
|
|
have been converted to greenhouses, more comfortable living cabins, a workshop |
|
|
|
and a little newer equipment. Current is pretty obsolete as it comes to |
|
|
|
contemporary standards. However, the most of it is still in active use! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The station is powered by solar panels as a primary source of power. |
|
|
|
Secondary source are nuclear reactors cooled with liquid metal in primary |
|
|
|
coolant loop. |
|
|
|
Propulsion is based on thermonuclear engines as they've proven to be the most |
|
|
|
efficient. Fuel+oxidizer engines are kept as a backup. |
|
|
|
Hydrogen can be used as fuel for both engines and backup combustion generator. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When it comes to current usage, it mostly serves as a maintenance base and |
|
|
|
a pretty old, big communication node. It still has storage space which can be |
|
|
|
used for freight, but as the station itself isn't the best when it comes to |
|
|
|
moving around the space, it's not used for trading as widely as before. |
|
|
|
The station has also been fitted with medical equipment in case of emergency |
|
|
|
calls from other ships. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two smaller units, both were freighters. One has been converted to |
|
|
|
a passenger ship for the current crew's needs. |
