Antiochia System Atlas Space Installation

CLASS: Coriolis
GRAVITY: Complete
CREW: 12000
ARMAMENT: Classified United Stars Organization The back-bone of the United Stars Organization, the Coriolis Station was designed at the GASEC laboratories above Konstantinopel and first entered service around Konstantinopel in 206 AS. The USO Authorities allow practice docking and departure runs to all their space stations. However this facility is suspended during attack, or when the Coriolis station has no free docking space. Every world registered with the United Stars Organization has several Coriolis space stations in orbit at various altitudes. Coriolis stations are “neutral” territory, controlled equally by the USO and the Planetary Government. This stationary concept was, once discovered, the most giant effort the USO ever had to shoulder. But at least these Stations opened the way to the Stars again. When the first Station was orbiting Konstantinopel the name United Stars Organization was born and again settlers left their home worlds to search for new worlds. The concept itself never had to be touched again (You must not change a running System especially when it is a giant one). Station Description: The station spins along a single axis running vertically from the planet below. One side of the station always faces the planet, and it is on this facet that the access tunnel is located. Coriolis stations have powerful defensive shields (against pirate attack and inept docking) and a large fleet of fighters and Station Turrets. The inside of the station is free-space, and on each inner facet of the station there are berthing and refueling facilities for up to 200 ships, hospitals, farmlands and leisure-scapes.

Information: The Coriolis Station Antiochia was the first ever builded Coriolis Station from the USO. It’s stability and usefullness brought this type of station to todays huge amount of Stations. Antiochia was formerly planed as testing, research, trade and shipbuilding facility but soon the Coriolis type Station showed it’s real purpose as a perfect borderstation able to survive on it’s own. Antiochia also showed that Coriolis Stations are too big for being planetary based Stations – so the concept was reworked and used as Outposts, Borderstations and Deep Space habitats in Areas where no planets exists. Rumors are spreaded, that Antiochia will soon become a museum of it’s own.
