Features

• Greenhouse - A modest Greenhouse provides for Starbase Overwatch's day-to-day needs. Automated sprinklers, lights, climate control and nutrient systems make growing any known plant life a trivial matter. While a faint shadow of the system's Primary Greenhouse, the garden is ample enough to feed the installation's crew and colonists, making it entirely self-sufficient in the event of some catastrophe befalling the Primary Greenhouse.

Features

• Shield & System Gravity Generator - The shield generator protects the facility from accidental - or deliberate - misuse of the Matter Manipulator. It also hardens the facility against meteor strikes and combat damage. The generator is a fragile piece of hardware however, and reacts poorly to weapons fire - players are advised to use caution when in its vicinity. Also note that the Shield Generator will need to be deactivated to make any alterations to Starbase Overwatch or its immediate surroundings.

The powerful System Gravity Generator allows manipulation of the entire Alfirk Stream V Asteroid Field's ambient gravity. A player can adjust the local gravity to be stronger than a Class M planet, or even emulate weightlessness. (Zero-G environments are recommended for mining operations and mech-based expeditions - this is the station's default setting).


Features

• Target Range - Marksmanship is a skill that requires custom upkeep, and the U.E.P. crew of Starbase Overwatch practice constantly. The Target Range features an automated scoring system and a wide selection of low-tier weapons to train with. Adjustable targets and lighting conditions help simulate difficult combat environments, while a Range Marshall makes certain safe weapon handling and muzzle discipline is observed.

Features

• Pixel Refinery - The Pixel Refinery is an automated installation used to break precious ores into raw Pixels. Valuable materials are mined from Alfirk Stream V's asteroids, which are converted into currency, and then used to purchase supplies or power the Pixel Printers to fabricate sundry items. The Pixel Refinery is critical to keeping the installation operational, as the associated upkeep expenses would be otherwise untenable.


Features

• Sickbay - The Sickbay is filled with life-saving medical and scientific equipment. A Mark-IXX Executive Grade Auto-Medical Bed will rapidly regenerate almost any injury, while a host of sensors and diagnostic equipment can diagnose most conditions in organic, mechanical and gaseous beings. The cupboards and shelves are packed with high grade medical supplies, and a micro-fabrication station enables the creation of more from raw materials.

Features

• Teleporter & Tech Console - A full-range Telepad and Tech Console inhabits the installation's next floor. This not only allows a player to beam out, but lets them bookmark that particular Teleporter for quick return visits. Additionally, a Tech Console is provided in the event players must customize their Tech load-out for specialized tasks -such as spacewalks or mining asteroids.


Features

• Livestock Suite F1 - The first floor of the Livestock Suite contains a small feedlot, and is home to an assortment of cattle. Their exotic furs can be harvested for medical and material components, and they may also be slaughtered as a source of meat. Ample grains and roughage are kept on hand to feed the animals, and assigned crewmembers are experts in the field of animal husbandry.


Features

• Livestock Suite F2 - The second floor of the Livestock Suite holds large numbers of chickens - both terrestrial and robotic. These birds produce a steady supply of eggs and AA batteries, used in cooking or sold via the nearby TerraMart Shipments Station.


Features

• Command Center - The Command Center is the central nervous system of Starbase Overwatch. From this control tower, the station's primary combat systems and long-range sensors are monitored. An array of consoles and panels allow control of the installation's sub-systems, such as lighting, ventilation, turret defense grids and the hazardous liquid purging system.


• Skywalk - The Skywalk connects the U.E.P. military wing of Starbase Overwatch to the Civilian Space Colony. This magnificent transparent structure proudly flies the flags of the United Earth Protectorate's member worlds, while granting an unparalleled view of the surrounding asteroid field. Members of the crew and colonists are often found relaxing and mingling in this spacious environment.

Features

• Pool & Regenerative Hot Tub - The lowest strata of Starbase's Space Colony hosts an Olympic sized swimming pool with an automated drain and self-cleaning system. Nearby is a relaxing hot tub with mineral water from plant Ba'ku, which possesses documented regenerative properties. Overhead UV lamps can simulate a warm beach, and a tanning table is provided for those interested catching some rays.

Features

• Colonist's Quarters - After Planet Earth's destruction, propagating the human race has become the chief priority of the U.E.P. By orders of Grand Protector Esther Bright, every sanctioned United Earth Protectorate installation must house a significant human colony - and Starbase Overwatch is no exception. Each colonist's suite features a well appointed kitchen, living room, full bathroom and furnished bedroom - each decorated to their owner's specifications.

Features

• Library - The library warehouses the combined lore of the Human, Apex, Hylotl, Glitch, Avian, Floran and Nova Kid races. The voluminous shelves contain books, newspapers, magazines, research papers, digital media and even primitive scribbling on bark. The floor also boasts an impressive collection of design schematics and blueprints for those interested in learning to create new types of equipment.
