Coriolis Station
The Hub of the Horizon
Coriolis station, once the generation ship Zenith and now a bustling hub of the Third Horizon, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the fusion of cultures. Transformed from its original purpose, the station is now the beating heart of trade, politics, and intrigue in the vast expanse of space.
The Council of Factions
The station is governed by the Council of Factions, a body representing the major powers and groups within the Third Horizon. This council is a complex web of diplomacy and power play, where representatives from different factions, including the Zenithian Hegemony, The Consortium, and various Firstcome groups, negotiate and make decisions that shape the Horizon. The council is a melting pot of ideologies and agendas, striving for a balance of power in an ever-evolving political landscape.
General Layout
The architecture of Coriolis station is a marvel, featuring elements from its Zenithian origins blended with Firstcome design influences. The station is divided into several districts, each with its unique character:
- The Core: Housing the command center and the council chambers, this is the political heart of the station.
- The Market: A bustling area of trade and commerce, where goods from across the Horizon can be found.
- The Docks: The lifeline of the station, with docks for ships of all sizes, bustling with traders, travelers, and workers.
- The Temple District: Home to the various religious and spiritual centers dedicated to the Icons.
- The Living Quarters: A diverse area where inhabitants from different cultures and backgrounds coexist.
- The Lower Decks: A less glamorous part of the station, often rife with crime and poverty, but also a haven for those seeking refuge or operating in the shadows.
Arrival of The Messenger
At the end of CC60 and into early CC61, the station became abuzz with the arrival of an emissary from Xene, known as The Messenger. This figure, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, has become the focal point of heated discussions and speculation. The Messenger's arrival has drawn the attention of all factions, each wary of the potential implications and the influence this emissary could wield within the Council and the wider Horizon. This arrival has added a new layer of complexity to the station's already intricate tapestry, making Coriolis not just a hub of trade and politics, but also a center of cosmic and potentially supernatural significance in the Third Horizon.
