Djachroum Spaceport

The Space Port is Djachroum’s connection to the outside world and the reason that the station flourishes. The port is conical in its structure and made up of different cargo rings where ships of different sizes can dock and load. The rings are partially open to vacuum but are protected by strong ED fields. Basically, all cargo to the Rimward Reach passes through Djachroum, so the space port is a hub of activity. Transport in the space port uses exos or the gravity elevators that run along vertical struts that circle the funnel of the port like spokes, descending slowly towards the tip of the port. Stationed in the mouth of the space port is an old torpedo boat: The Kaliko, a ship with varied history originally from the Shahafehr shipyard at Sadaal. She is the only official warship of Djachroum, but of course rumour has it that the Akbar has ancient ships hidden elsewhere. At the bottom of the space port is the service area for the port’s stevedores and guests, usually just called the “ring”. With its low ceilings, this is a dark and oppressive place. Narrow and cramped alleys meander between the various buildings, built from various scrap materials and cracked ceramic tiles left over from ship repairs. The only open space is in the middle of the service area. It features a large air lock in the square for ground and grav loaders and three smaller ones for passenger transports.
Several establishments line the square. Particularly popular among new visitors is the canteen run by the old Zaleb, called the “Dry Dock” among the space port’s workers, the name referring both to the place and to its owner. There is also an old coffin hotel with the ironic name of the “Palace of Eternity”. Of a more practical nature is a run-down med lab run by Doctor Zinja and the Free League's local office with the local chief steward and harbour master Sayar Mashmet. Adjacent to the square is the Mining Office taking care of all mining claims in the Rimward Reach. Often a long queue of annoyed but hopeful prospectors winds along the narrow alley outside the office.
