Sath Waypoint

A Calibration Point constructed by the Sath in Far Home Sector.

• A Waypoint in deep space (3038 Far Home), a point lying between the K’shek cluster and the Hak'tha Spread. It is located approximately 2 parsecs from Sshkih (2837 Far Home), Tha'ki (3040 Far Home) and Saa Kaa (3239 Far Home). The Sath call it Ith-Saa-Ka (loosely 'Gateway' or 'Portal').

Description / Specifications

The area of space covered by the Waypoint (3038 Far Home) will eventually hold three separate large refuelling and supply depots, each positioned approximately 1 light-year apart and each one relatively closer to its named destination system. As of 5600AD only one (the Sshkih Station) has been completed, with the remaining two still in the early stages of construction.

Sshkih station is a cylindrical structure built around vast hydrogen holding tanks and transfer and pumping equipment. It has extensive storage spaces, large hangers, and accommodations and facilities adequate for thousands of individuals, though the current permanent population numbers only a few hundred. It is constantly attended by various small craft, it retains repair and rescue vessels, and huge transports and streamlined tankers unload alongside berthing arms. The station has integral defenses and maintains a dedicated defense squadron made up of powerful warships.

The entire (3038 Far Home) hex is covered by a network of navigational beacons. Each beacon is large, with a power plant, an onboard computer and a powerful communications array. They contain emergency supplies and equipment which can be accessed by spacefarers in need. Beacons transmit navigational and locational information enabling vessels to plot a course to one of the stations within the hex.
