Starlyte Space Station

Gateway To The Stars

Once a jewel of the space lanes, Starlyte Station is not the pristine military facility it once was. Decades of neglect and abuse have left the space station in such a state of disrepair it's a wonder the place still functions at all. Since Starlyte Station doesn't have much in the way of a technical support staff; when something breaks down it tends to stay that way unless it's an absolutely essential system. And even when things actually do get fixed, it's usually a result of some creative jury-rigging rather than a thorough repair. Replacement parts are hard to come by because of the station's age and remote location.

Compared to the interior of the station, however, the exterior is in relatively good shape. Built to withstand most attacks, the heavily armored hull has stood up well over time. when the Imperials pulled out, they took most of the weapons systems with them and disabled what was left. Of course, there are still a few surprises remaining, so the station is not completely defenseless. (While they aren't advertised - for obvious reasons - a bank of five turreted turbolaser batteries have been fire linked to the command center, through they can be operated individually crewed.)

Starlyte Station was constructed on a spherical frame, vaguely resembling the classic Imperial torpedo sphere design. The outer docking ring encircles the equator of the station, with well over 250 available berths to dock ships ranging in size from starfighters to heavy cruisers. refueling services are available for about 20% more than the standard fee at most Imperial class starports. Of course, with the next refueling point usually a long jump away, most beings pay the inflated prices rather than take the chance of being stranded between systems.

the interior of the station stands in various states of disrepair. obviously, the more traveled areas, such as The Falling Star Saloon, the Docking Ring, and the Trading post are in good shape. The condition of the rest of the station pales in comparison, especially in its farthest corners. Guests are advised to steer clear of those maze-like dark corridors, for some who visit the recesses of the station often fail to return. (As you would expect, there are a hundred different opinions as to what happens to the unfortunate people, too.)
