Sol Station
Sol Station is a citadel-class starbase in orbit of Sol. Originally constructed in 2170 CE, well before the Human discovery of hyperspace, it has long been a prominent fixture in the Sol System. As the Sol System has some of the highest levels of starship traffic in the galaxy, the Sol Starbase is of critical importance to the system.
The station performs the typical duties of a starbase, including traffic management, communications, repair, and long-range sensor scanning. It also has numerous other facilities, including shipyards, anchorages, and numerous civilian docking berths. In order to manage the large numbers of ships in the Sol System, the station is equipped with a number of hyperlane registrars to optimise transit routes through the system. The station operates significant numbers of intrasystem and interstellar transport shuttles, regularly operating from Earth and Mars.
Although large parts of the station are open to civilians, about one third is closed off for government operations. This includes the military shipyards and anchorages, command facilities, weapon systems, and communications centres. The UNNF 1st Fleet is based at the Sol Station, and is responsible for the defence of Earth.
