Themis Space Station (region 113)

Layout

The base started as a ring with six drydocks for building battleships, connected by a ring. Now some of the drydocks were expanded to build fortress ships up to 5km in length and two of the six have been converted to Activated DarkMatter production facilities as these can be more easily seperated from the main base. While the ring is mostly manufacturing and laboratories, inside the ring they build a giant sphere to house people. When finished, it can hold about about 80 million people, but nowhere near that number live here yet.

People

Themis is colonised by Volethans. Most are construction workers, finishing up the construction of the base as well as spaceyard workers, administrators and military staff. Some families already live there, mostly from military personal and spaceyard workers stationed there. As soon as more production will be started up (some products are easier constructed in zero-G, more workers and their families will move to the station. The maximum population is 80 million, but it will take years to get to this number.

Government

Currently the station is under military governance, although in a few years a civilian governor is slated to take over. The base will have a local council to handle local affairs, and will send representatives to the ducal council as well as the parliament. It will also have local communities and they will handle local affairs, just like towns and cities in Bafatis.

Religion

The Mind is considered the most important thing, as for everything else the Mind can create a machine to do the work for it. Some priests are on the base, mostly in the military, although a larger presence still has to be established.

Resource

Activated Dark Matter: While the base will build most ships for the Bafatis Space Navy as well as civilian ships, in its labs Bafatis scientists have created Activated DarkMatter, a form of matter that decays into regular matter releasing tremendous amounts of energy. While its properties are not yet fully understood, it needs zero-G production facilities protected by the best armour and shields. Two of the orginal six drydocks have been rebuild to produce this resource while scientists keep studying it.
categories: exotic matter, fuel

Desired Import

Ores and Alloys: With all the construction that is going on in the base, they always need more material to build with. Also the creation of the activated Dark Matter requires materials to begin with.

"Hold a moment," Chalia said as she dismounted and bound her mound to the wagon so it couldn't run off, "it's best to be prepared, just in case."

She drew her big sword and then turned towards the guy. She was called many things, but subtle wasn't one of them.

"Strange farmer who doesn't know the difference between a barn and a silo. Even I know that and I've never lived on a farm in my life. Care to elaborate on that?"

She kept looking around for any ambushes, quite certain there would be one now.

Halgana wasn't sure how to proceed with this. They would have to be careful. While Lissala was rumoured to follow the rules, her followers might not.

"I don't know. The weakest will probably be consumed by those vamps, if vamps there are around here. The strongest, might actually be turned into one. We'll have to be very careful with this."

Economy:

The first factories of Activated DarkMatter are completed and production has started. With more DarkMatter available, research into practical applications is switched into high gear.

diplomacy:

A functioning government is set up on Themis as the first elections for the local representatives are held and a governor is appointed. Also the representatives to go to the Ducal council are appointed.

The space station is also integrated into the Bafatis trade network, with representatives of the various trade guilds taking office there.

Military:

Big news, a new ship has left the Bafatis' spaceyards. The new ship, called the BSS Jahir Bafatis, after the current Duke's grandfather, is a 2500m long fortress ship and the new flagship of the Bafatis Space Force. It sports the latest heavy guns and can carry fighters and ground troups. Together with it's escort ships this will be the new 1st Space Battle Group, while the ships that are the current 1st SBG will be transferred to a newly formed Group.

There will also be a second Colonial Marine division, to be housed on the Themis space station.

"Isn't it better to first do this door before we head into the next corridor, so we don't have things in our back when we have to make a sound strategical and tactical retreat," Vri asked, pointing to the door at the end of the corridor they were in. She would follow the group, but felt it was better to check that door first.

Chalia let the others do the talking, but looked around just in case this turned out to be an ambush. It wouldn't be the first time that someone stopped some people on the road and while talking they were attacked and she didn't want this to happen to her company.

Character sheet

Bella stopped with singing as soon as the last of the ghouls fell down. She then looked around for buckets and a well/river/body of water.

"I guess we best try to stop that fire, or at least prevent it from spreading."

Then she remembered that there was someone else in there as well.

"Hello," she called out, "we mean you no harm. All the ghouls are dead... well, dead again. You can come out now."

the bonus on skill is a potency bonus and your healing tools give an equipment bonus, so they stack. The bonus we get on our weapon is also a potency bonus, as is a fundamental rune, so they don't stack.

"I had hoped to find more of these card things," Vri said as she held the one she had been given, "I'm not sure if these are one use or not, but it can't hurt to have spares. Well, there's always next room."

She would go to the next doors and there she would check for an opening mechanism and after everybody had joined and was ready, she would try it.

I'll be on holiday from tomorrow until next saturday. I'll normally have internet access (the hotel should have Wifi), but I might be slower to respond. So expect me only to put something up in the second week of the next round.
