Standard asteroid outpost

The Asteroid Outpost is a modular tactical installation operated by Solas Tempus, designed for use in remote regions of space where standard bases are impractical. Constructed atop stabilized asteroids, these outposts serve as forward operating stations, research facilities, and defensive platforms.

Target Size
1100 meters long x 300 meters wide x 150 meters deep
Since asteroids vary in size, the dimensions also can vary greatly
Runway
1000 meters long x 50 meters wide
Hangar Bay
80 meters wide x 60 meters deep x 30 meters tall
Crew
40 to 60 personnel

Defensive Systems

Offensive Systems

  • 4 Phaser Pulse Turrets (2 Emitters Each)

Facilities

The Asteroid Outpost consists of a hardened command tower, a reinforced landing strip, an internal hangar, a geodesic dome for scientific and technical operations, and multiple turret-based defense systems. Built using a hybrid of tritanium composite materials and Aqua Opal Crystal infused shielding systems, these installations are designed to resist both conventional attacks and exotic energy disturbances.

Command Tower
Houses the primary control systems, tactical operations center, and advanced communications array utilizing BlueNet protocols for secure transmissions.
Landing Strip
A short-runway facility compatible with VTOL-equipped shuttles and small spacecraft. Marked as Landing Zone 1.
Hangar Bay
Enclosed maintenance and storage area capable of housing up to two light spacecraft or multiple auxiliary vehicles.
Maintenance Bay
Underground maintenance bay for heavy duty repairs or parts storage.
Hermod Gate
Most of these facilities are equipped with a dedicated Hermod Gate.
Research Dome
A multi-purpose facility featuring laboratories equipped with advanced computer systems for automated research and diagnostics.

Strategic Purpose

Asteroid Outposts are deployed where full space stations would be too resource-intensive. They serve in multiple capacities:

  • Tactical staging areas for military operations.
  • Black-site research for sensitive projects.
  • Deep-space listening posts for early detection of unknown threats.
  • Refuge and resupply points for Solas Tempus vessels operating far from established territories.

Deployment

Asteroid Outposts are typically deployed in sectors containing high-risk anomalies, such as near Aether rifts, temporal fractures, or politically unstable border regions. They can be constructed in-place using pre-fabricated modular components delivered by heavy-lift transports.
