System hub

System Hub



Union Planetary Systems quite often have a central System Hub.

This is either a natural object (Moon, planet, large asteroid or large artificial space installation)

System Hubs have at least one Class A space port (Or are the Class A space port of the system)

Form the System Hub travelers and cargo connections to an l local destinations exist. 
 * System hubs are used to:
 * Reduce or eliminate FTL space ship space ports from planets,
 * To provide a Class A port to many smaller communities that would be too small for a large port by themselves.
 * To centralize Federal / Union control (Immigration, CITI check)
 * Provide a central location for Space Train Stations and TMT connections
 * To restrict access to the system (Arsenal Gate, Narth Gate, Coven Gate, Norbus Gate)





The largest such hub is Sol Hub,



In many cases the hub is placed in a vertical orbit around the local star (or an apex stable position)
