Scybria Jump Hub
The Scybria Jump Hub is a complex of space stations located within interstellar hex 1714 of Halcyon Sector.
Description / Specifications[edit]
The Scybria Jump Hub is a deep-space Calibration Point that was constructed to reduce travel times between the Afkhar Cluster and the Nist Cluster. Construction began in 5212AD as a showcase project for the newly formed Scybrian Polyarchy. It began operations in 5225AD and was finally completed in 5300AD, marking the first century of the existence of the state. It was in service for 261 years, finally being destroyed by the Firstworlds in 5486AD
When it was operational, the Scybria Jump Hub consisted of:
- A central 400,000 dTon Space Station:
- The station is generally mushroom-shaped, with the upper main section constructed in a flattened sphere configuration, a broad cylindrical mid-section housing the major engineering components, and a long lower berthing spire. Onboard thrusters and positioning systems are capable of approximately 0.25G. The station has multiple defensive points mounting lasers, energy weapons and missiles. It is heavily armored and mounts ECM, signal masking, damper systems and sandcasters. Much of the interior is given over to fuel tanks, a fuel refinery, storage facilities, and hanger space. The station carries a complement of small craft and defense vessels. The station has full internal artificial gravity, and there are extremely extensive crew accommodations and facilities including a fully equipped surgical hospital. It has a distributed main computer, a prime command center and various section command centers.
- 3x Outlying 60,000 dTon Citadels:
- Each citadel is built in a generally ovoid configuration with all of the major engineering components mounted centrally. Onboard thrusters and positioning systems are capable of approximately 0.25G. Each citadel has multiple defensive points mounting lasers, energy weapons and missiles. Each is very heavily armored and mounts ECM, signal masking, damper systems and sandcasters. Much of the interior is given over to storage facilities and hanger space. Each citadel carries a complement of small craft and defense vessels. Each citadel has full internal artificial gravity, and there are spacious crew accommodations and facilities. Each has a distributed main computer, a prime command center and various section command centers.
- A network of thousands of sensor posts, with an approximate diameter of 0.25 light years.
As of 5600AD the station is entirely derelict, with extensive damage from exterior hits and internal explosions. All three of the citadels surrounding the station are similarly damaged. There are a number of destroyed vessels, extensive debris fields and vast minefields surrounding the site.
History & Background / Dossier[edit]
The Scybria Jump Hub was constructed over decades by the Scybrian Polyarchy.
The Jump Hub was the focus of a large number of raids and attacks during the course of the Scybrian Wars.
- 5426AD First Jump Hub Raid
- 5433AD Second Jump Hub Raid
- 5463AD Third Jump Hub Raid
- 5479AD Fourth Jump Hub Raid
- 5486AD Fifth Jump Hub Raid. Destruction of the Jump Hub.
The Jump Hub was destroyed during The Grand Campaign, in the later part of the Scybrian Wars.
The location contains huge amounts of mines, emplaced by both the Corolian Jurisdicture and the Firstworlds to deny the location to the Scybrian Polyarchy. The mines are entirely automated. Many are in a damaged or degraded condition.
The location contains large quantities of live munitions. Many are in a damaged or degraded condition.
The Scybria Jump Hub is an official war grave. Violating a war grave is a High Crime under the terms of the Rissa Accords.
