Palioxis Station is an XQ2 space station that serves as the primary terminus for trips into and out of the Kiast system in the Palioxis nebula. Operated by the Vatali Empire, the station is primarily used for trading with the outside galaxy and as a waypoint along the Perlemian Trade Route.
History
The Vatali have used similar stations in the same location since the initial colonization of Kiast. The difficulty of moving starships, particularly ships of any significant size, through the nebula and the various asteroid fields that surround the system necessitated a central gateway to accommodate trade traffic and travel into and out of the system. The “Palioxis Station” has served this purpose throughout the thousand-year history of the Kiast system. The current platform is actually the eighth station to bear the name; as technology advances and systems degrade with time, the Vatali have taken to constructing new stations every century or two. The current platform was purchased by Emperor Taselm Anasaye during the age of the Galactic Empire.
Description
Like all XQ2-model platforms, Palioxis station has three platforms surrounding a central hub.
