You dock at Blood Forge Smelting Works. The Pact's primary refinery. Raw ore from Iron Reach enters one end; weapons-grade alloys leave the other. The station runs three shifts and the heat never fully dissipates — veterans say you can taste copper in the air on every deck. The forges are the largest outside Sol, and they were built for one purpose. The station has the following facilities: - Fusion Array: High-output fusion array with stellar-grade magnetic containment. When it's working. Right now, containment bottles flicker, the array operates at reduced output, and engineers monitor bottle integrity around the clock. - Biosphere Module: Self-sustaining environmental system with hydroponic gardens and atmospheric synthesis. But lately, gardens wilt under failing grow-lights. Atmospheric synthesis struggles to compensate, and the air grows thin and stale. - Fuel Grid: Distributed fueling network with automated queue management and priority routing. Right now, though, grid nodes go offline one by one. Priority routing fails, leaving ships waiting at random ports for trickle fills. - Engineering Complex: Comprehensive repair and overhaul facility capable of servicing capital-class hulls. That's the idea, anyway. Capital bays sit dark, only the smaller berths operate, and the waiting list grows longer each day. - Trade Nexus: Major commercial exchange with high-frequency order processing and cross-market data feeds. Or it should be. Right now, cross-market feeds drop in and out, order processing crawls, and the backlog grows longer each cycle. ...and 18 more facilities.
