Project Gate House

Gate House Stations and the Gate House Project.

After the Ancient Gate Network was activated. The gates were seen both as an opportunity for research, exploration and expansion bt also as a potential entry point of potential danger and hostile entities.

The Assembly declared the gates to be Union property. Regardless who may build them, claimed them  or uses them. While the decission was seen morally questionable it was also argued that Union safety and the ability to react to potential threats as early as possible was paramount.

The Gate mapping and Gate securing project was initiated.

The project was seeking to map the  location of all gates in the Local group (and beyond if neccesary) and place a heavily armes space station close by.

The stations sending Data drones through the gate with saved communication and mail as GalNet communication does not have the range. (A new trans galactic communication is currently developed (GalNet with much improved range.)

The Gate Houses are Gigamon type or larger and heavily armed.

Each Gatehouse has Alpha Order and the means to destroy the gate if deemed neccesary.

The nearest star system to the Gate House is Union Occupied and holds a Fleet base with at least ten Battleships and an attached Mini Battlegroup. One planet is developed as an emergency colony in case the gate is turned off, destroyed or blocked in some way.
