Colony stations were close to being baseships, as they were capable of interstellar travel through the Portal Dimension if fitted with special FTL rigs. They are classified stations, however, as most of the time they remain in orbit of planetary bodies.
Structure
The Colony Stations were basically humongous saucers. On "top" of this saucer around 36 cylinder-shaped buildings were located, where most of the citizens lived. Each cylinder stood at least 500 meters tall.
Under the saucer, there were the "spikes", some hundred meter tall towers, which contained the docking mechanisms, a part of the Defense Grid, and the communications arrays. Docking mechanisms of all kinds were provided for different types of starships.
The rotational velocity of the disk shaped station, which acted the primary source of gravity, as well as orbital parameters could be manipulated with 5 sublight propulsion units that rotated around the sides of the main saucer.
Known current locations
Only ten Colony class stations were built, and most remain in operation to this day. They tend to remain in semi-permanent locations, often in orbit of colony worlds.
During the Hemmoian Civil War, several Colony stations were lost to the Democratic Hemmoian Republic.
- Ollapukkiti Prime, Orbeus-6 system, Delta Quadrant (OC/HFed)
- Farport One, Gamma Quadrant (HFed)
- Gueva II, Gueva system, Delta Quadrant (DHR)
- Alfanidon 4, Alfanidon system, Delta Quadrant (DHR)
