So I've ocmpletely forgotten everythign I know about programming in this site, so this wil be a mess for a while; for now however..

First I'd like to thank Andrew Tribick (~chaos-syndrome) for allowing the spacescape graphics that were shown on this page; Alien Moonscape, The Abandoned Moon, Rhododaktylos Eos, On The Wings Of The Storm, Shore of Lost Dreams, Epsilon Eridani - Cometfall, and Gas Giant Test for use in this document, please go and check out those works at their full size on his page, you wont regret it. Due to a change in his image use policy those images will no longer be displayed here;

Sector Six: subsector:F

Sector Six

This sector is mostly a thoroughfare to other sectors in this district of UNG space, Sector Six was colonized 7+ years ago offcially by the UNG, however it has had a local population for some 15+ and had quickly established itself as a sovereign group with a significant amount of wealth from mining and agriculture facilities. The sectors government is dictatorial in nature though composed of a group of candidates from each of the solar systems in the sub-sector plus the asteroid mining company.

The sectors location, away from major shipping lanes, has limited its growth to some degree. However, more than the location is the UNG space port through which all trade goods must pass through UNG trade inspectors to use the established Fold routes. This state of trade has bred a fair amount of animosity toward the UNG colony in Sector Six space, and tensions have been rising. The acquisition of a large scale war ship would allow the Sector Six establishment to pose a major threat and possibilly even threaten the UNG controlled planet of Pegas-2.

The fold lane passing through Pegas-2 was one of the Major supply routes to the Macross15 Emigration fleet and this minor strife has begun to take on major complications. Currently the whole sector is a no-fly-zone; of its neighbors sector 7 is enbroiled in heavy military actions by marines due to a large uprising by local populations. Sector 5 is on sparsely populated and there are few viable safe fold routes near to Sector Six.

This is the layout of the concerned sector: There are not relevant Solar Systems or bases within two parsecs of this location.

Rock 387

• Theta

Home of the UNS base for this sector(though a subbase of operative exists on the orbital at pregas two Iota) it was recently heavilly bombarded by an ANTI-UN group. The Dark Princes arrived too late to help the base and the Excellent depart leaving a good deal of her crew behind to help refit the base until new staff could arrive.

1. One UNSpacy Field office and Fold Point Coordination Office
2. 30 Staff Officers　+crew for Space Station orbiting rock 387
3. One Unit of VF-11F & C (5 fighters + pilots)
4. 60+ Infantry/Military Police

The most populous of the "Sector Six" conglomeration of free colonies, also the most friendly to the UNG and home of the largest (orbital)trade center in the subsector

• AY: Moon to Dorta Alpha this moon supports an individualistic group of people who live in a Biodome.
• Gamma AY: A small population of miners drive for naturally formed 'heavy water' contained within the ICE that crusts this tiny moon, it is also home to sectret base for operative of unknown alliance. Revolving around 'Gamma' it is the prime resource that drives the industry of the several thousand colonists in the Gamma Colonies.

1. Local militia Comprised of the “Six Shooters” 30+ VF pilots

this 'unit' is largely scattered through the sub-sector divided in 'Units' that are very mercenary in their movements, however they are all devoted to the protection of the populace they serve and generally recieved as heros.

Please note that some things have changed since my intial   
posting of planets, unfortuneatly I got lost in my own notes, I  
hope that things will get fully correlated here in this file

Non Planetary Locations

Alien Star Ship

the alien star ship has no been claimed by any one group, this much teh negotiator has accomplished in a very short time. However the BCTC trading company is claiming salvage rights, the Six Shooters want to scrap the ship and the UNS wants to commendeer the Ship, currently it is 'untouched'

ORBITAL STATION:

Passenger Customs/immigrations processing and UNG TRADE CENTER

• The UNG Trade Center is Orbiting the main world of Pregas (IOTA). It has a standard space dock and can facilitate up to 12 50-400ton or less space ships in pressure dock, as well as 30 plus small craft under 50tons in the pressure dock. There are four Landing pads for 400+ton ships, these are not pressure dock and require umbilical or flight suits to move to and from the Station; typically a small ship debarking from the larger ships moves to pressure dock in these situations.

• The UNG TC is shaped similar to the Colony ships. And open Coliseum looks out over the planet and suns of the system, with 3/4 showing through glass, all of this surface area is capable of been closed in by armored plates, typically only 10% of the ‘sky’ shows. People not accustomed become disoriented by the view of space.

• The Interior of the ship is a maze of passages and hall typical to any large building, with elevators and walkways, offices and homes. It has two ‘parks’, one of which is on the ‘top’ floor near to the docking bays, the other is in the center of the Coliseum, and has a great view of the Suns.

• The Facility is not that large, the docking bays take up most of the 1/4 that has not exposure, the City-Building is run up against those in a kind of angular bulkhead, and the Coliseum is 50%+ open/pressure space with the Trading markets in a wide open market surrounding Central Park.

UNG SPACE: CUSTOMS AND SECURTY CENTER

(free floating station outside of Pregas-2)

• The UNG SPACE C&SC is some 20000 clicks out from the farthest planet in the Pregas-2 system. It lies at the center of 1/2 parsec wide string of UNS Defense Satelites (some 200 total in an x y grid). The CS&S or SeeSas as most people in the sector refer to it as, most UNG people know it as Oberth, is in fact one of the few Oberth battle Cruisers still in existance in the UNS.
• The Oberth acts as a Border Crossing between the no-mans' land between dorta and Pregas-2. All ships are registered at this point.
• The Oberth itself though retrofitted to some degree, is little more useful than as a control centor for the defense satelites. The Cruiser itself has only 1/2 of its weapons active, and it has NO propulsion system whatsoever, thus its terminal staioning at this location.

THE BCTC Trade Center

Free Trade Orbital, Sector Six Passenger Immigration Center.

• The BCTC TC and FTO immigration center pales in comparison to the UNG.TC at Pregas-2. Neither of them has pressure docks and all movement to and from ships is made by small shuttle craft, of which there is a plethora of private captains(1).
• The Center itself looks like a patchwork mess of smalland medium sized transport craft, which in fact it is. The whole place is centered around what might have been a free traders heavy transport. The only reason the place can exist as it does is its free floating nature, it once was an orbital station, but long since lost its capabilities to maintain any decent orbit and was pushed out into space to act as the opposing twin of SeeSas (UNG CS&S)
• The Center sports a modest hard docking port, suiting up to 4 * 400t+ ships in dock at once, and 20+ 50t to 400t- ships. It has but one Pressure dock(through “AVIN”(2) which can suit just about any sngle ship up to 50t tons max.
• The Interior of the ship is 100% interior, some locations near the ‘edges’ have ports to view out of, but mostly just exostructure and deck plating are all that is visible. The Interior of the ship is a real maze of passages and chambers, all most all of them are to tradingcenters and small outfits, private traders companies, Sector Six internal trading, as well as some (few) UNG trading outfit establishments.
• Only about a third of the ship is accessable to the public the rest of the ship acts a temporary base for the Six Shooters command staff as well as some members of Government.
• BCTCTC is heavily policed and violence is not unknown here. although UNG and UNS people are steered clear of the ‘messier’ places, its pretty obvious this is a run down station with a run down population.

(1) the captains of these craft refer to themselves as Stewards, and most are known to the locals as ‘FatStews’, though the origins of this name is obscure. (2) the BCTCTCFTO is a mess of craft that have been ‘fitted’ together, some are simply transports that have been ‘lashed’ in place, other are liners that have been gutted and rehulled into place. In general, the place Is a mess and difficult to navigate for a newcomer. The Central part known as the CORE is one single ship that was the orginal center of operations. It is controlled by the government the CORE is not visible from out side of the station. Next ‘above’ that is JELUP, this is the head quarters for the heavy police prescence. Directly ‘beneath’ the CORE is AVIN, this was a luxury liner and act as the primary housing facility and restaurant section for visitors. BLEEPIN is the residential sector and is made up of several small ships, and continues to grow exteriorally as more people come to stay here. EL-ONE and EL-TWO are the primary docking areas and are separated from the rest of the station by a passageway, that looks suspiciously like a cargo tube, that corridor is home to the Customs officials and their officers and is known as CUSTOMS.

ORTRAC

Free Trade center Orbiting Dorta

http://www.macrossrpg.com/~blitzkrieg/DPS/DortaOrbitalThumb.gif

• ORTRAC is probably the newest bit of technology in the whole Sector. It is a tube that stands on ‘end’ to the planet Dorta, it has three docking rings for 30 to 100ton ships hard dock, just ‘below’ the loest dock ring is a pressure dock ring, which can facilitate up to 20 smaller craft (the larest ship it can facilitate is the Stargoose)
• Below that are 11 levels, each being 3 ‘floors‘ deep and having separate gravity fields to keep each floor at the same gravity. The first 5 floors are accesable to pulic, the next two down are private estates and housing, and the last 4 are military and governmentally controlled and include the engineering departments.
• ORTRAC is a farily busy port, acting as the primary mover of goods in and out of the system. It typically is a full port, with transports and heavier ships picking their own orbits waiting for a chance to get into hard dock. All of the trade goods that pass from system to system are traded here, and a decent sized market has grown. ORTRAC is also the primary communications relay point to and from the UNG controlled space, as well as the key jumping point to almost all other systems in Sector Six.

http://www.macrossrpg.com/~blitzkrieg/DPS/DefensesateliteThumb.gif

• ORTRAC including its own defenses has four defense satellites that float around its position in orbit. These are equivelant to the UNS defense Satelites and have set the Trade Center back a huge chunk of cash
• The Lower 1/2 section has some simple defenses, and the power systems and propulsion systems (only enough to correct orbital varience, it is in a stationary orbit)

Mining Company Floating Office

(T.B.C.-M.C.F.)

• This small facility has several offices and housing facilities for the staff there as well as two hard docks, small and large. It can accommodate a small number of shuttle craft and typically has trade delegations from around the local systems and from further beyond.
