Section of the Bridge

When the Bridge was originally concieved and constructed Union Space Ships could travel a maximum of 5000 Lightyears without Engine Service. ISAH Pods could burn out and needed to be replaced if they weren't serviced. Shorter travels would increase the life of the engines but also drasticlaly increase the Fuel consumption.

These limitations were the reason to built the bridge the way it was built. With a Gigamon space station every 2500 Lightyears

The distance between two Bridge stations is called a Section. Most of the Sections are void of anything, some have relay stations (for GalNet) or Emergency services and some of the older Bridge Stations have a one or several smaller stations around them, private factories, space villages, speciality bases.
