Cassi Station is an orbital station above the gas planet Cassi, located in the Cassidin Sector of the Inner Band of the Talin Galaxy. Sitting at the crossroads of several major Overspace routes, Cassi Station was established as a mining colony and gas extraction facility for the fuel-rich atmosphere of Cassi. Over hundreds of years the station grew and became a thriving port and trading depot, becoming diverse in alien life. The station, having a high population and its own form of government, is a member of the Galactic Union.
Description
Cassi Station is a monumental construction which serves as both a mining colony and a deep-space trading post. Its structure is a circular disk. Roads lead inward from the docking bays towards the center of the station, and within the outpost itself is a labyrinthine sprawl of shacks, prefabricated housing, and countless maze-like corridors. Although there is some structure to the buildings around the main ring, within these areas the layout changes with the continuous shifting of the station's population; shacks are made of sheet metal, and shelters utilize housing units recycled from foreign colonies. Alien housing complexes and tenements feature ventilation shafts that send wafts of ammonia into the streets. Many areas such as markets, alleys, and facility zones are covered in lurid, phosphorescent graffiti.
History
Culture
As a deep-space trading outpost and stopover point for travelers, the Cassi Station hosts crowds of individuals including humans, nonhumans, and non-sentient species. Many of these became stuck on the outpost, sentenced to live among the pressing crowds with a characteristic plodding gait. Workers toil during the day, and stuck to the main throughways at night due to the constantly shifting nature of the Ring's layout.
