It was one of several locations renamed on Jin the Fleet Carriers Update on behalf of competition winners. The planet Foursyth was originally designated Rhea 4. Lego Orbis station inspired from the game Elite Dangerous at 1:20000 scale.Traditional Rhea Front (Dictatorship, Independent).Rhea Travel Interstellar (Corporate, Federation).Rhea Travel Industry (Corporate, Federation).Rhea Crimson Drug Empire (Anarchy, Independent).East Galaxy Company (Corporate, Federation).Foursyth (Earth-like world, terraformed).The coordinated attacks occurred during the Galactic Summit in Sirius, and caused the conference to be cancelled. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the Nine Martyrs attack, and many more were injured. Most famously, it's failed jump from the Bubble to Beagle Point stranded it in deep space near the galactic core, which eventually lead to the formation of the Colonia Region.The starport Ito Orbital was bombed by the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army on March 11, 3307, along with starports in eight other major systems. While Orbis stations cannot move between systems (or leave orbit) after construction, a single exception exists Jaques Station has a custom engine module that allows it to enter Hyperspace.This is referencing the large habitation rings featured in the design. Orbis stations get their name from the Latin word Orbis, meaning circle.The Orbis station length (5947 m) is approximately 3 Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers.

While the habitat rings of an Orbis are based upon the Stanford torus design, the hub of an Orbis was inspired by the O'Neill cylinder.

The Orbis was first introduced in Frontier: Elite II.

The independent construction company Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd is known to specialise in modifying Orbis stations, and in September 3306 it began a campaign to upgrade a number of refinery Outposts into Orbis models at the request of Brewer Corporation. They are all constructed by the Brewer Corporation. Non-personnel with the wealth to afford it reside in the spacious habitation rings. Most permanent residents are maintenance and administrative personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the station itself. ĭespite their size, Orbis stations usually do not host large populations. Pareco (T Tauri star) Asire Dock (Outpost) Crown. As a result, these stations are all positioned within a thousand kilometers of each other and ships can travel between them in normal space in a reasonable amount of time. It is an unusual system because the local starports and outposts all orbit a series of comets. A number of Orbis stations in less affluent systems only feature the smaller rings.Ĭonstruction is relatively expensive due to high safety standards, extensive testing process and not much using local metallic resources like with the Coriolis. Pareco is an independent system in the Core Systems within the Inner Orion Spur.

The 4-kilometer ring enjoys a full 1 g, while the 2-kilometer rings achieve only 0.5 g. Of the three main station designs, the Orbis is the only one capable of supporting 4-kilometer habitation rings in addition to 2-kilometer rings, with a single larger ring usually fixed around the main hub in addition to one or more smaller rings along the spire. Extending from the hub is a spire that hosts habitat rings, storage modules, solar panel arrays, and a reactor at the far end. The Orbis consists of a cylindrical main hub which contains the docking bay.
