Epsilon-Class Communications Station

Epsilon-Class Communications Station

The Epsilon stations maintain a vital hyperspace communications network across much of the Milky Way Galaxy. The stations are of an unusual design, with the majority of their volume made up of large numbers of transceiver elements laid out in an almost flat grid pattern. The small crew lives and works in habitat pods similar to those used on the orbital office stations of the time. Most of the Epsilon stations lead unremarkable service lives, but Epsilon IX played a key role in the Sorga Civil War incident. The station was located near to the Theban Cluster/Prax-Krullian Kingdom border, where it monitored Prax-Krullian activities as well as relaying hyperspace transmissions. In 4471 it detected the disastrous Prax-Krullian attack on over a dozen different colony systems [these attacks were to quell rising tensions].
