Berths: 9 for 1500/600/400m sized ships or less, 4 for smaller vessels
Defenses: 200 Dual-linked laser AA cannons, 58 Dual-linked pulse AA cannons, 100 Missile Arrays (4 per array)

*Note* This ship is very big, it can't go that fast.

The Absolute is being used currently, while the Condor is heading for Triton with a skeleton crew for docking until more TRSN personell can arrive to staff it (ie: population grows).

Meanwhile, two Space Stations are being constructed, one in the Paragos System Cloud and another in far orbit around Capsule's Triton base under charter. The Triton facility will serve as a command and control facility, plus R&D, Jump Gate Node, and Medium Space Dock (OOC: Think Star Trek's Command Station from the movies). The Paragos Base will serve as a shipyard (mostly skeletal for construction of large ships. It will double as an armory and repair yard, with limitted R&D capability. This is a massive spiderweb facility with a large command station inside.

Both are full Battle Operational, though the Triton Station, dubbed Nova Station, is outside of weapons range of Triton itself, out of consideration for our ally. Nova should be completed externally in two months, while the C3 facilities and R&D will be another month behind. (RL 3 Days) Paragos Base will be completed within two months as well, but will be unable to construct ships for another three months (RL 5 Days until operational).

Nova Station is completed, except for C3 and R&D. Paragos Base is also constructed, and they have added a Gate to their facilities in preparation for TF12, which will be arriving soon from Terra. It is still undergoing work on the Dock in order to construct ships in this reality. Both are now Battle Operational.
