Jump map from Travellermap.com

Waystation is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and both non-agricultural and preindustrial in nature.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• These worldlets are working towards being an industrial world but lack an adequate workforce to do so.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Cinder Subsector of Gateway Sector.

• It has a colony at Paradise of El.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Waystation system features a port controlled by Gateway Shipping, in the same asteroid belt as the system capital.

This is one of the links on the 5-jump trade route between Mast and Megucorp Beta that is used for most direct trade between the Viyard Concourse and the Megusard Corporate.

Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
