Prosperity Station

Forward station. Some-time administrative headquarters of the Forward Coalition.

“Prosperity Station’s spine was a sixty-meter tube, three meters in diameter with an assortment of nodules, blisters, and annexes placed at functional locations along its length. At both ends, cylindrical zero-g modules clustered like frozen fruit on a winter twig. Encircling the spine, each secured by three spokes, a series of hoops rotated sedately. Each hoop could be independently spun to produce something close to gravity for the people or equipment inside.”

The hoops are 15 meters in radius, with 7 rotations a minute giving one g.
