* Space Station SAKURA * | |
******************************** | |
A space station, which has been mostly abandoned. Currently, there's only a few | |
people on it (compared to what it used to look like), maintaining systems and | |
simply living. It used to be a mining base, however, the crew moved to the new | |
station in another location and abandoned this one. | |
Currently, it has been mostly downscaled to reduce resources needed to run it | |
and all the spaces have been converted for different purposes. Ore storages | |
have been converted to greenhouses, more comfortable living cabins, a workshop | |
and a little newer equipment. Current is pretty obsolete as it comes to | |
contemporary standards. However, the most of it is still in active use! | |
The station is powered by solar panels as a primary source of power. | |
Secondary source are nuclear reactors cooled with liquid metal in primary | |
coolant loop. | |
Propulsion is based on thermonuclear engines as they've proven to be the most | |
efficient. Fuel+oxidizer engines are kept as a backup. | |
Hydrogen can be used as fuel for both engines and backup combustion generator. | |
When it comes to current usage, it mostly serves as a maintenance base and | |
a pretty old, big communication node. It still has storage space which can be | |
used for freight, but as the station itself isn't the best when it comes to | |
moving around the space, it's not used for trading as widely as before. | |
The station has also been fitted with medical equipment in case of emergency | |
calls from other ships. | |
There are two smaller units, both were freighters. One has been converted to | |
a passenger ship for the current crew's needs. | |
