Sky Castle

Sky Castle

Oldest operational space station - Built in 2202 - In orbit around Earth II -

4000 m long and 2800 m at its widest in diameter.

Last Upgrade and refurbished in 5002

Originally concieved and built as an orbital spaceport and planet defense platform by United Earth, it was more or less outdated right after it was built.

The United Stars were founded in 2220 and even back then, Union ships were too big to be serviced at the station.

It served many purposes during  its many centuries of existence: Space port, Defense platform, habitat, training facility, shopping mall, hotel and museum.

Today it is a recognized antique and Union heritage site, it features a  "living museum" for United Earth history and technology.

Visitors can emerge themselves into Early Post Astro history and relive the turbulent and violent times of the facist period of United Earth history.

It is also considered a monument and reminder of how close humanity came to become a dictator ship society.

The most famous exhibit is of course the Lady Liberty museum of Stahl's "Pirate Days". While the original Lady Liberty is on permanent display at the Union museum on Pluribus ,

the Sky Castle has many historic artifacts, including "Stahl's Pirate Uniform ", Several packs of his Camel Cigarette s, a genuine Zippo Lighter and other items.

While Stahl would of course object to a "Stahl museum ". It is still considered an inofficial homage to the Eternal soldier. Its many genuine artifacts related to

Stahl make the station a tremendously popular museum with more than 2 million visitors annually.

The Virtu Experinence "Be Stahl for a day " that can only be experienced at the museum is continiously booked out,[1]

[1] Rumors persist that Admiral McElligott has taken the Virtu Experience at leat five times. Fact is that many of the exhibits artifacts have been donated or authenticated by the Admiral of the Fleet
