|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ☀ | Steelpoint | Sun | DA | 0.0 | (0.0, 0.0) | — | — | A steady white dwarf the weapons engineers call Steelpoint — chosen for its stability. The Pact needed a system where precision manufacturing tolerances wouldn't drift with stellar activity. |
| ● | Anvil I | Planet | scorched | 1.0 | (1.0, 0.3) | — | — | Weapons testing range. The surface is a cratered wasteland of impact sites, burned-out targets, and unexploded ordnance. Crimson R&D evaluates every new weapon design here before it enters production. |
| ● | Anvil II | Planet | glacial | 2.0 | (2.0, -0.3) | — | — | Hardened underground bunkers store the Pact's strategic munitions reserve. Automated defenses engage anything that approaches without clearance. |
| ⬡ | The Anvil Arsenal | Station | — | 2.5 | (2.5, 0.2) | — | — | Final assembly for the Crimson Pact's weapons systems. Alloys from Blood Forge arrive as ingots and leave as turrets, railgun barrels, and armor plate. The station's forgemaster maintains a tradition: every weapon carries the serial number of the pilot who supplied its raw materials. A warrior's honor, stamped in steel. |
| ◈ | Anvil Proving Grounds | Asteroid Belt | mixed | 4.1 | (4.0, 1.0) | — | — | Carbon and vanadium deposits mixed with weapons testing debris. New recruits occasionally mine here, dodging fragments from the latest round of ordnance trials in the adjacent testing lanes. |

Station Log
You dock at The Anvil Arsenal. Final assembly for the Crimson Pact's weapons systems. Alloys from Blood Forge arrive as ingots and leave as turrets, railgun barrels, and armor plate. The station's forgemaster maintains a tradition: every weapon carries the serial number of the pilot who supplied its raw materials. A warrior's honor, stamped in steel. 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.
