After the completion of the SOSC Moonlight Shadow in 5 years, the nation of Sigma Octavus will begin construction of our first permanent spacestation to replace the harness used during the Moonlight Shadow construction. This base will be used to house our orbital forces as well as provide a place for future construction projects. This project will take between 15-20 years to finish, and will begin in 5 years. Expect more details then. (15-25 days)

I'll be frank...I don't like the idea of space-based military bases. We small countries who aren't in space yet naturally suspect anything military or government informational based space bases as being 'big brother.' What are your intentions with this system?
OOC: Sorry if you're space-based, ignore me if you are...

We are putting a base up there to quickly respond to hostile nations and to help out in peacekeeping missions. We are peacekeepers. With big guns. We are in no way trying to oppress smaller nations.
