Deep Space Villages

Deep Space Village

It is believed that this is a unique aspect of the Union, the actual settlement of deep space itself. It started with the large space stations of the Bridge. No one ever predicted that the Bridge would actually become a vibrant community with many billions of inhabitants, or that it would spawn small privately owned deep space communities called space villages. Extreme life style groups to small to start their own colony. Retirement communities with the desire to live away from the main stream, villages that grow crops and raise life-stock for the Bridge Stations, small or specialty factories that manufacture very valuable or very dangerous (or very secret) goods;often chose Deep Space Villages. Not all look like the one pictured, but most of them look similar. Space Villages range from 100 to about 10,000 inhabitants. Larger Communities (Space Cities) are quite rare as communities of 10,000 plus are big enough for a planetary colony. (or able to order a Minimon station)

Of course no matter how well Deep Space Villages are managed, they need raw materials and are depended on regular deliveries. That is why Deep Space Villages are usually close to a big station and there are dozens and sometimes hundreds of space villages. There are over 3000 space villages around Midway Station. Deep Space Villages are to small to have their own representation but there are two Union and Assembly accepted Deep Space Associations that send a Representative to the Assembly.
