Savitr Station is located at the Earth-Sun L4 point among the cloud of asteroids that make up Earth’s leading trojans.
¶ Layout
Savitr Station is a very old design with no means to generate gravity. It features a central pillar with multiple arms supporting solar panels and radiators. The bottom tip of the pillar houses the station’s fission reactor. At the top of the pillar, Savitr has a large non-spinning habitation ring with multiple docking points. Originally used for small drones, they were refitted by Fujizo to fit modern docking hardware.
¶ Facilities
Designed long before nanofabrication, Savitr Station was not built with most modern conveniences. Fujizo’s refit added makers and their required nutrient storage devices, but the corp did not see the need to include a full-scale cornucopia machine. Instead, a desktop locked fabber was brought by the habtech team and any bulky parts were shipped in from Luna.
Thanks to the station’s previous use as a far-orbit science platform, it has a beefy power supply and plenty of analysis equipment on board. It also features basic algae growers for food and oxygen.
Three small spacecraft are still latched onto the inside of Savitr’s ring. They were originally used to gather samples from the local asteroid field, but are now in various states of disrepair.
¶ History
¶ Savitr Station Built
Savitr Station is built by Infinite Horizons, a now-defunct space exploration corporation long since swallowed by Starware. Savitr is a testbed for new space mining technologies and materials science.
¶ Changing Hands
As humanity expanded throughout Sol system, Savitr’s use as a technology testbed fell by the wayside. It was transferred to a series of corporations who used it variously as a pilot training facility, micrograv entertainment destination, and near-earth monitoring platform.
¶ Station Decommissioned
After passing through three owners, Savitr is deemed hopelessly unprofitable and decommissioned.
¶ Fujizo Acquires Savitr
Fujizo acquires Savitr Station during the early implementation phase of Project Revival
¶ Final Renovation Work
The three-man team of hab techs responsible for remote renovations sleeves into morphs at Savitr to complete the final work on the station
¶ Momentary Force
Savitr Station narrowly avoids impact with a rogue object composed of experimental nanomachines. United Division, Yuki, and the resident engineering team managed to preserve the station.
