Space Station
TGS 01/2
General center for large space station meeting place for Federation, and large group or organization. destination of War Axe in In Bad Company, (The Terry Henry group), and other groups in other books. Onyx Station was one of the largest in the Empire, with over six million residents across several species. Some people called it the ‘Etheric melting pot’; others said it was nothing but a suffocating box.
Edward Teach liked the hot dogs on the main deck; Bokey’s Pups, he believed the establishment was called. And then there was the Main Street Diner, the closest thing to Earth food you could get out here: burgers, soup, steak, eggs and hash—even spaghetti.
Wash-It-Down Bar
TGS 01/2, 3
Desert Lounge, Deck 25. Good for "better class". Wash-It-Down, Deck 13, was far below the main sections of the station. Was filled to the brim with unsavory types—criminals, thieves, smugglers, and just generally unpleasant fellows. They got any Blue Ale?Best rated on the station.Decay in the walls. Leaks formed water spots in the ceiling. Every step on the floor was sticky and gross. And it smelled like absolute shit.
Political Importance
TGS 01/9
Onyx Station was a major political point of interest in this region of Federation-controlled space, acting as the central transport hub between at least a dozen worlds. Its creation marked the beginning of a new balance between the neighboring species, providing a neutral ground to share political and social discourse, perform trade agreements and treaties, and provide a useful Federation footing in an otherwise fringe territory far outside the core planets. Should anyone discover this station was under threat, many would return to their home systems, and Onyx Station would lose its political significance, ultimately disrupting the balance in this developing region.
For nearly a thousand years, war had raged between Kezzin, Trid, and the Londil, but such hostility had quickly diminished after the construction of the station and the formation of the Federation. Granted, the Kezzin remained independent, priding themselves on their isolationism, but they often agreed to meet on the station, as neutral territory to discuss important matters as they related to the region and its many inhabitants. The Kezzin were, after all, spread across four-star systems. In short, Onyx Station was an essential Federation asset; for anyone to threaten its existence was unsettling.
