OOC: posting this here since I plan to be able to protect the whole planet with this system.

IC:

-Telos Orbit-

Having secured the ground on Telos, and having settled civilians on what the AIF plans to be the crown jewel of their colonial holdings, the AIF has decided to protect these holdings. With this in mind, they have begun construction on orbital infrastructure to protect the planet from attack with a Ceres Defense Grid style battery of orbital MACs. The AIF has thus announced the first station of the Telos Defense Grid, and encourages other nations settled on the planet to contribute to these defenses.

The platform itself consists of a UAC MK-3 MAC in a central shaft, connected to twin reactor housings and weapon batteries for defense. Surrounding the main MAC are 4 MK-1 tubes on independent gimbals, allowing each to fire 20° away from the main firing axis. There are docking rings for two ships, and the reactor modules can separate from the central weapons cluster in an emergency. Larger platforms are also bring constructed, and will be announced at a later date.
