The Cryosphere


The Cryosphere station itself acts as the nerve centre for Naval operations in the system, with missions dispatched from the Station Office. It is a major port capable of handling heavy freighters, and can do light ship repair and maintenance. The station is divided into 7 circular levels connected by a central stairwell. It is home to the majority of Navy personnel and caters for the majority of their work and leisure needs.

Level 1

Level 1 is the main docking ring of the station. Typing list anywhere here will give you a printout of the ships currently docked, their destinations and when the next available ships are due to arrive. Map will show you the locations of the docking ports and facilities on this level. It is also from here that maintenance staff are able to don spacesuits and carry out repairs to the outside of the station. Other points of interest include:

^* Customs post - where you will be checked for any illegal substances you might attempt to smuggle onto the station.
^* Quarantine office
^* Cargo lift - used for transporting cargo from the cargo level to the docked ships.

Level 2

Level 2 provides most of the services and commercial facilities needed by Navy personnel and the civillians whom have made this their home. Typing map here will show you a map of the ring, including all shops and facilities. Points of interest include:

^* The Station Office, where you can accept missions
^* The bank, a hospital, and an insurance office
^* The simulators, and a shop selling crystals for the same
^* Muon's Bar, where the crew often hang out

Level 3

Level 3 is home to the armoury. Weapons and ammunition are stored here ready to be loaded onto warships. The majority of this level is restricted access. You can also find the station's Cybernetics facility here, where you can be fitted with cybernetic augmentations.

Level 4

Level 4 is a residential ring providing accommodation to crew members as well as a place to store their belongings. Any persons wishing to rent their own quarters can do so by visiting the Quartermaster's office and using the rent command.

Level 5

Level 5 is the engineering level, filled with reactors, recycling systems and various machines designed to keep the Cryosphere going. This level is vital for the smooth running of the station's lifesystems, so as a result much of the level is security restricted.

Level 6

Level 6 is the storage level. Cargo is stored here, before being taken up to the docking ring in the industrial lifts for loading onto cargo ships.

Level 7

Level 7 is a residential ring providing accommodation to crew members as well as a place to store their belongings. Any persons wishing to rent their own quarters can do so by visiting the Quartermaster's office and using the rent command.
