Assembly Hall Station
Assembly Hall Station is a large space habitat located in interstellar space. It serves as the primary seat of the Unified Deep Space Administration, housing the UDSA general assembly and significant parts of its administration.
Structure and Layout
Assembly Hall Station is built around a large disk-shaped superstructure. Starship docking facilities are primarily located around the perimeter of the disk, but there are also some special purpose docking ports on some of the inner structures. At the center of the station, the assembly hall for the general assembly of the UDSA is located. The rest of the station is taken up by six sectors surrounding the central assembly hall, half of them used as habitats for the permanent and semipermanent residents of the station. Of the other three, two are used by the administration of the UDSA and Exploration and Defense Fleet respectively, while the final segment is used for temporary accommodation and various facilities used by both visitors and residents. While the the Assembly hall, besides some minor interior upgrades, remains as it was originally constructed, the outer sectors have been expanded over time to accommodate more staff as membership of the UDSA increased.Infrastructure
Due to its location far from any star, Assembly Hall Station is powered by a distributed system of fusion reactors providing redundancy. A large segmented Gravity Emulation system provides different levels of gravity to the three main habitat sectors, while the remaining sectors are held at UDSA standard gravity. Life support systems use multiple dissimilar systems for redundancy and are independent for each sector, while the assembly hall is connected to the life support network of the first habitat sector. Some sections of the habitats have separate atmospheres to allow increased comfort of species with special breathing gas needs, such as the Yytsuuri. There is limited food production and recycling, however the station is not self-sufficient for food supply and large amounts of food are shipped in from nearby inhabited planets. A network of elevator and horizontal guideway transit systems allows quick movement within the station, usually taking less than 30 minutes between any two locations.
