The Hermod Outpost is a massive, standardized, self-sustaining planetary and deep-space outpost module.  Nimbus Station contained a database with extensive engineering blueprints of different facilities; this particular facility is designed as a city-sized military / research outpost featuring a Stargate, extensive living quarters, advanced research laboratories, and a colossal single geodesic atmospheric dome.  The station is fully self-contained and capable of being placed on a variety of worlds, from Earth-like planets to frozen tundras, deserts, or even anchored to an asteroid in deep space.  These outposts are highly versatile, multi-purpose facilities equipped for long-term scientific research, ecological sustainability, and self-defense.

Dimensions

470 meters Wide (Diameter) x 380 meters Tall (Total Height)
Base Hull: 80 meters thick
Biosphere Dome: 235 meters tall
Main Shuttle Bay Doors: 95 meters wide x 65 meters tall

Power Source

Deuterium Fusion Reactors

Crew Capacity

50 to 300

Offensive Systems

• 4 Phaser Pulse Cannons
• 4 Photon Torpedo Launchers

These are not primary military facilities and are not designed for front line combat.  They are equipped for self defense only.

Defensive Systems

• High Output Deflector Shields
• Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal-regulating hull armor for extreme environment adaptation

Facilities / Layout

The station's architecture is dominated by a single, colossal triangular-paneled geodesic dome that spans roughly 450 meters across, resting on a thick, heavily armored metallic base. A massive central structural tower runs from the floor of the base all the way to the apex of the dome, acting as the primary load-bearing pillar.

The interior of the dome houses a sprawling, 39-acre biosphere featuring a central thermal-mass lake, a circulating river system, a towering forest, and manicured parkland. This vast ecosystem naturally scrubs the atmosphere, provides immense psychological benefits for the crew during multi-year deployments, and operates in tandem with high-density hydroponics in the central tower to produce all necessary food and oxygen.

When the station is placed in the vacuum of space or highly toxic environments, the triangular dome segments and Quasi-Matter shielding isolate and protect the delicate internal ecosystems.

• Extensive Habitation Sectors (Supporting up to 300 personnel)
• Primary Shuttle Bay (Housed entirely within the thick lower base hull)
• Hermod Gate (Secured Gate Room in the central base)
• Apex Command Center (Located at the very top of the central tower for unobstructed 360-degree monitoring)
• Transporter Rooms (Distributed throughout the Central Tower and Base)
• 39-Acre Biosphere (Forest, Lake, River, Parkland, and Vertical Agricultural Zones)
• Circumference Docking Ports (Air-locks and umbilical rings spaced around the outer base)
• Multiple Fabrication / Engineering Sectors
• State-of-the-art Science and Research Labs
• High Output Subspace Relay System (Spire above the Apex Command Center)
• Extended Long / Short Range Sensors
• Multinodal Core Capability

Auxiliary Systems

The station is equipped with the Mark 1S Active Repair System and Astromech Droids to maintain the station's systems, clean the facility, and tend to the agricultural zones and biosphere.

Auxiliary Craft

The station's primary shuttle bay is an immense cavern located entirely beneath the forest floor within the station's heavy base, providing acoustic and atmospheric isolation from the biosphere above. Massive, horizontally opening segmented blast doors allow craft to deploy directly outward into space or a planet's atmosphere.

• 2 Type 6 Shuttle Craft
• 2 Type 7 Shuttle Craft
• 6 Hornet Class Fighters
• 4 Thunder Class Fighters
• 4 Flyer Class Shuttles
• 2 Danube Class Runabouts
