Sycamore Station

Sycamore Station is a colony station in Sector Delta One Three.

History
Constructed around fifty years prior to the beginning of the series, Sycamore Station is the size of a small city and floats just beyond the edge of the Lothlorien Nebula.

The station is described as being "self-sustaining", because the rare gas produced by the nebula provides a renewable source of fuel when refined, and all waste products are jettisoned back into the nebula, where they are broken down and used to create more gas.

Features
The station is popular with border and freelance pilots, and is often used as a stop-over for cargo runs. It is described as being peaceful and happy, but it is also known for providing anonymity for many. Because so few people treat it as a permanent residence and see it more as a waypoint, it is a colony where people are friendly, but no-one ever sticks around long enough to make friends. Most of the residents and visitors consider this to be a positive aspect.

The station has a number of docking bays as well as a promenade deck, lined with shops and small cafes, many of which are kept open twenty four hours a day to cater for all of the arriving and departing pilots and crews. There are also a large number of apartments. Some are used as permanent residences, but the majority are owned by people from the more prosperous planets and rented out to passing pilots and crews for overnight or shore-leave use.
