Forum:Sanctuary: Difference between revisions

'''Sanctuary''' is a space station in orbit around the Obelisk between Oberon and Peasblossom. It houses the collective remains of [[The Last City]], [[The Reef]], [[Empress Caiatl]]'s regime, and the [[Forum:House of Time|House of Time]]. It was constructed out of a ragtag fleet of two hundred and twenty ships that fled the [[solar system]] in the wake of the Second Collapse, and the remains of the Traveler. Its neutronium components face the sun, shielding the city from radiation, while upon the opposite side Guardian ships mingle, beginning efforts to harvest resources from the Alliance's new home.

Constructed after the refugee fleet's arrival into Titano space, Sanctuary is home to a couple thousand civilians and soldiers. Without the ruins of Earth to sustain themselves, the development of industry was a priority for the new Council. Research into the Obelisk and why the Traveler's corpse had settled around its orbit is ongoing.

Sanctuary's hull is a combination of half the Traveler's corpse and an aggregated mixture of Cabal, Eliksni, and Golden Age construction. The half-dome of the Traveler is always facing sunwards, no matter which way it orbits, while opposite the jagged points of two Barques and the smooth hulls of Cabal carriers stretch outwards.

 

In essence, if somewhat irreverently, it resembles a metallic jellyfish.  

The smooth dome of the Traveler bears no defenses, and is thus the most vulnerable part of the city despite its neutronium construction. A fleet of Eliksni Proas constantly keep a patrol around it. The rest of the structure is lined with Eliksni plasma guns and Cabal amat weapons. Eliksni Shanks provide a defensive screen, being capable of deployed in the literal millions in the event of an attack.
