Not far from the quarrelsome worlds lies an old Republic battlestation – Delta Station. The station is the sole remaining structure of its kind, part of an old defensive network built to watch the borders of an alien empire (the Hiiso Empire) that no longer exists. Now the station is primarily tasked with overseeing the embargo of Aunbrun and Glemnark. A skeleton crew mans the systems and oversees a squadron of patrol vessels.

The station is also home to a considerable fringe presence. The cavernous landing bays and interior spaces have become the home to smugglers and free traders of every kind. A surprising number of war refugees have also set up camp here. In their wake all manner of peddlers and tinkers have set up shop. And criminals have also joined in of course. As long as they do not rock the boat too much the overworked Republican security staff leaves them to their own devices.

Spire cluster: This big forest for spires and disks sits atop the utility core, rising above the command deck.

Main disk: Comprises the main volume of the station. Massive disk, nearly a mile wide and dozens of stories tall.

Command Deck 1: Situated on top of the main disk, well away from the lower decks. This is where the station is run from.

Landing bays: Numerous landing bays big and small lie around the edge of the main disk. A few are retained for official use, but the rest have effectively been given over to fringe element. Ships come and go as they please. Starship mechanics have set up shops, there are bars, gambling halls – whatever a spacer requires when in a port of call.

Commons: The outlying main-disk sections that have been opened up to war refugees. They have been stripped and mothballed for centuries, and now offer only the barest of necessities.

Central Park: Massive public park taking up the central portion of the main station disk. The park is a dozen stories tall, with internal galleries facing it. There is a big utility column rising from the center of the park.

Utility core: Runs from the generator hub at the bottom, up to the main disk and into the spire cluster on top. It contains power feeds, access tubes, shield generators, guns, and all manner of other odd ends. About 2 miles long, everything included.

Generator hub: At the end of the utility core is a big bulbous outgrowth; it houses the main power generators and shielding array.
