Goudi Station

Goudi Station, a legendary outpost situated in the desolate reaches of deep space, is an iconic landmark within the vast network of the Bounty Hunter's Guild. This formidable refueling depot holds a place of paramount importance in the galaxy, serving as the Guild's pivotal hub for galactic travelers, relentless hunters, and weary travelers alike. Embracing the void with steadfast authority, Goudi Station stands alone in the cosmic abyss, offering its unique blend of practicality and camaraderie. Goudi Station's architectural grandeur spans the interstellar void, with six colossal berths specifically designed to accommodate Huge (+2) spacecraft, and an additional fourteen berths suited for Large (+1) vehicles. These vast docking bays serve as the lifeblood of the station, welcoming hunters from far-flung corners of the galaxy. Ringing the space station are defensive platforms, an imposing network of mines, and a contingent of automated defense drones. These formidable defenses ensure the safe passage of hunters, mercenaries, and galactic nomads alike who venture to Goudi Station.
At its heart, Goudi Station boasts a colossal central tavern-like space, a bustling hub of activity for hunters and interstellar travelers in the far reaches of the Rim. This space exudes a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, fostering camaraderie and a sense of unity. The upper levels of the tavern feature dozens of comfortable rooms, providing respite for those in need. Below the multi-story tavern, the life-support systems, power generation facilities, and formidable defensive structures are said to be safeguarded by a hundred battle-ready robots. These mechanized sentinels, armed with non-penetrating energy weapons, stand ready to defend the station and its inhabitants.
The central tavern area, a lively gathering place, is graced by a grand circular bar at its heart. The bar is staffed by lifelike androids who serve patrons with grace and precision. Led by the station's operator, these androids exude a sense of professionalism and efficiency. A team of robotic guards vigilantly maintains order along the wide entrances connecting to the berths, as well as the elevators leading to the rooms. The rumors are that a concealed elevator at the rear of the tavern grants access to the rooms below, creating an atmosphere of privacy and discretion.
Goudi Station's central area hosts multiple levels, with stairs leading to rooms seemingly floating above the central space. Circular couches and large tables encourage intimate gatherings and conversations among hunters and travelers. The Bounty Hunter's Bounty Board takes center stage on the tables, its constantly changing data providing an endless source of intrigue. This central hub also features several vendors from the Bounty Hunter Guild, who "hold court" in dedicated booths, offering an impressive selection of weapons and armor to visiting hunters.
Goudi Station's tavern is not merely a respite for the weary; it is a place of decision and opportunity. Here, hunters gather to select their next bounties from the Guild's ever-evolving list of targets. Those who wish to issue a contract themselves may approach the bartender at the central circular bar. The station's operator, experienced and knowledgeable, is always ready to assist with the process. Goudi Station is not just a waypoint; it is the heartbeat of the Guild, a place where fortunes change and legends are born, all set against the backdrop of the endless expanse of deep space.

Defenses

Minefield

All but 4 approaches to the station are covered by wide, expansive mine fields. No ships larger than Huge (+2) could safely navigate the pathways to approach the Berths of Goudi Station from one of its available sides.

Defensive Platforms

Goudi Station is ringed by Defensive Platforms with Kinetic, Energy, and Explosive Turrets alike. They are most concentrated to cover the open pathways to the Berths, though several remain pointed towards the minefields as well for smaller ships that may slip through with ill-intent.

Defensive Drone Patrols

Defensive, automated Drone Patrols fly the Berths and Minefield Routes regularly to provide safe passage to those coming to partake in the Station's benefits while finding and eliminating ships that have ill-intent. Many a "clever" pirate has been spotted trying to take easy pray from the lanes and have met their swift end at a Drone's barrage, commonly supported by the Station itself like artillery fire.
