Asalars Defence Platform
A large defence platform of the Grand Artanat Empire defending the Asalars System.
The Asalars Defence Platform spans about 60 km in length. Normally, it would be a prime target for rebels due to its sheer size and importance, but it was built in the same orbit as Asalars VIII except located at the opposite side of that planet. Around this area, there are very few objects that are nearby. Due to this, the station is exceptionally well defended from rebels as there is nothing to hide in at any time - even the furthest planets and asteroid belts are at least 3 AU away at closest. This gives defenders a massive amount of time to prepare. However, it could potentially be a target for a large faction that has the resources to assault such an excellently defended space station. It is a key strategic location that would need to be captured before any faction can capture the Asalars system, so the Grand Artanat Empire has built a massive number of turrets on the station including CIWS turrets that target enemy fighters and missiles. It also has a significant resource stockpile and is thus able to survive being blockaded for a very long time, and is even capable of constructing and repairing starships on one of several drydocks.
