-Area within the Ceres Defense Grid-

Work continues on the massive UAC station in solar orbit near Ceres, which is designed to be a port for incoming traffic, and a base for UAC warships. Because part of the design involves a huge hangar capable of holding dozens of capital ships comfortably, it has been named Jotunheim Station, after the land from Norse mythology that was the home of giants. It is an immense structure, 26km across, and 40 km tall, it can house hundreds of thousands of personnel, thousands of fighters, recreational facilities, a first class hydroponics lab, shipbuilding facilities, fighter factories, and cargo bays with 20km3 worth of volume. Once completed, it will have a massive array of 2040 guns (the little RFGs), MAC turrets(ak130s), 36 tube SSN-12 missile batteries (vanilla rocket launchers), four Spire of David derived hyper velocity guns, and thousands upon thousands of point defense guns and archer missiles(too small to represent). Currently, it is only partially operational, however it still would be dangerous in battle. It's power systems include multiple reactors scattered throughout the station, allowing it to be split into multiple sections and still function. The main hangar is designed to split open, should the need arise, to allow the rapid deployment of the capital ships inside.

To allow the station to handle such large capital ships, it had been equipped with the most powerful tractor beams yet devised, which can move even the largest ships in the fleet, such as the Incorruptible, Viscount, and Borsig classes. To provide power to these massive tractor beam arrays, there are two dedicated reactors specifically intended to provide tractor beam power. The station also has the ability to move on its own power, and has both sublight engines at the "top", and a slipspace engine for escaping a bad situation.

OOC: So, basically this works like that mushroom shaped station in Star Trek, where it had this big opening, that leads in to an even bigger hangar that can fit even the largest ships in the fleet comfortably.
