Starfliers Research Complex
Orbiting distantly around Planet Cannish in the Inverness System
1,850 Crew are on board, all ID'd as Freelancer

.
.

After their exodus from the Kepler System in 829 AS, the Starfliers rebuilt their station within the Inverness System in 830 AS. Now serving as their new Headquarters, this research complex was to become a more focused version of the former Starflier Base. Sharing similarities with its predecessor, the station's purpose is to store numerous scientific reports and system charts within its data servers on board. With the recent discovery of the Earhart System and its connected uncharted sectors, the station has been further expanded to specialize in the importation, storage and analysis of the materials found within the unknown. Now, the station's capabilities significantly outclass its older self.

Docking & Mooring Terminal
Area for importing / exporting of commodities and a resting place for our C.E.V.s
Staff Count: 50

.
.

The main hangar of the Research Complex. Open to select groups, the area situates itself at the forefront of the station, allowing easy access for transports to unload goods and for Starfliers snub craft to land for basic repairs and refueling. Being the first point of contact with the station, it has the greatest access to the central elevator which services as the main transit between every other department of the station. Other corridors and pathways lead to various meeting and conference rooms. As it stands, there is a basic system in place to allow easy onloading and offloading of goods while not overtaking the areas dedicated for vessel storage. Orbital Spa & Cruise and Kishiro Technologies are publicly known to have access to the station. Rumors suggest that the local Technocracy also have permission, however the Starfliers have firmly denied this.

Mass Storage Wing
An area dedicated to the storage of all kinds of resources
Staff Count: 30

.
.

A set of "Bulk"-Class Mass Storage Containers. Found attached to every modular station in Sirius and Gallia. The modules installed onto the Research Complex have been designed to be accommodated into the station's interior space. The central elevator system contains a large cargo lift which connects the Docking Bay to the Mass Storage Area. This allows for easy importation of resources required to run the station, which all get withdrawn from the mass storage containers.

Materials Research Wing
Widely known as an Exotic Materials Laboratory
Staff Count: 200

.
.

With the discovery of Earhart and their connected uncharted sectors, the Starfliers realized soon after that having a research wing dedicated to specifically this area of space would be beneficial to their goals of research and discovery. The primary goal of this particular wing is to obtain, analyze and further process these materials from Earhart and the unknown sectors into resources that would be more useful for the Starfliers.

Hardware Development Wing
Widely known as an Exotic Equipment Fabricator
Staff Count: 400

.
.

One of the more recently constructed areas within the Complex. This particular wing is dedicated to the design theory and construction of more experimental and high-class technology not frequently seen in space. Used in conjunction with the material laboratory and ore refinery, a significant crew is dedicated to making sure the correct processes are followed to build any equipment needed for internal use.

Beacon Development Wing
Widely known as an Hyperspace Survey Factory
Staff Count: 200

.
.

The most recent addition to the station's capabilities. In previous years, the Starfliers would purchase hyperspace beacons from other high-end establishments to add to their fleet. Now, with their increased logistical capacity, the Starfliers are able to construct them on their own, albeit slowly. The two hundred staff are constantly on rotating shifts, constantly learning how to more efficiently construct these beacons.

High-Security Data Servers
The most information-sensitive area of the entire station
Staff Count: 30

.
.

Locked behind multiple layers of security, these "Vault"-Class servers are mostly comprised of outdated HX-17 rack-mounted units, purchased from DSE during the early days of the Starfliers. These servers are separated into sections dedicated to storing specific types of details. Imagery, Cartography, Expeditionary, Invoices, Daily Earhart Broadcast and other general and specific sections. Majority of the staff on the station does not have access to these servers, only being allowed to look at the main door leading in. Higher ranking Starfliers pilots have better access to get inside.

Leisure & Quarters
Living quarters, leisure areas and representative offices
Staff Count: Everyone else

.
.

Over the last few years, the complex has reached well over one thousand crew staff, ranging from maintenance and upkeep all the way to the scientists running the research and development wings. Anytime the staff are off the clock, they have generously sized rooms to return to for rest as well as rooms designed for comfort and relaxation. Majority of the people on board the station are off-duty crew members who are assigned to the Sol and Velorum, as they relieve those stationed on the capital ships when they return. Some who reside on the complex call this their home, as they are a mix between family, close relatives and friends of those who work here full-time.

Superior Hydroponics System
A system that produces the necessary food quantity for our teams to work
Staff Count: 150

.
.

Built upon the standard Hydroponics Bay blueprint, the "Gaia"-Class is an order of magnitude more powerful and efficient than the advanced module. This improvement has come from the Omicron Edge Worlds, with the Zoners providing us with enough information to construct a similar system to what they use out in the remote regions. The superior version cuts the importation of water and fertilizer almost completely to allow for near self-sufficiency. The particular hydroponics system on the Research Complex has been constructed to run for exactly 1,750 crew.

Superior Exterior Shielding
Unique kind of protective layering that almost prevents wear and tear
Staff Count: 250

.
.

In 823 AS, ALG was asked to assess the Research Complex for suitability regarding a rare protective layer. This layering has been called "Carapace"-Class Shield, which prevents 98% of the normal stress and tear any station would normally endure. Once the shielding was installed, the Research Complex held out against Inverness' Medium White sun for a week without requiring the standard upkeep. The Starfliers have now redirected funds normally directed at station upkeep to better their research departments.
