Centra Station

Centra Station is one of the three Galactic Capitols, the others being Maelstrom and New Torus. Centra Station is within the Metalli Nebula, and is the largest and most well known of three such stations in the nebula. While Centra is essentially an apartment complex mixed with a capitol building, the other two are much different, one being a research facility, and the other being a high-security prison.

Description
Centra Station appears as a humongous sphere, about the size of a small moon, with seven long bladelike structures, Cherae, extending from the equator of the center sphere, or Sine. The Cherae are each around 100 km long, but only a kilometer thick. The upper surfaces of the Cherae are covered with skyscrapers, while the lower faces only have several maintenance structures, as well as thousands of vents. The surface of the Sine is different, smooth except for a single tower at each of the "poles", the Variyae, Variya Prime and Variya Ante. These house the directors of government and security, respectively. Surrounding the Sine and Cherae are smaller spheres considered part of Centra, the Orbitae. Of around 45 of these, the largest, Orbitae Terrik, is just 1.75 km in diameter, and the smallest, Orbitae Chiron, is only 0.35 km.
