====== Hamilton Space Station ======
===== Background =====
Hamilton Station, named after the Hamilton Cylinders, is in orbit above Lycus's 2nd moon in Alpha Centauri. It was the Terran's first attempt at a space station beyond the local system. Since its original construction, the station has been piece-mealed in upgrades. Each upgrade had the "newest and best" living conditions of the time thus inviting the upper echelon to move in. Consequently, the majority of the station consists of varying degrees of ghettos and poverty all living in antiquated and sub-standard living conditions. While attempts have been made to improve the oldest parts of the station, all ventures have been canceled due to the gang warfare that takes place in the dilapidated hubs. The security force often consists of the undesirables from the lower levels trying to push their way up to a cushy life.\\
\\
Since the cataclysm 14 years ago, numerous refugees escaped to Hamilton Station and has since become over crowded. New plans are in the works to expand the station once again. However, many activists are petition yet another attempt to instead refurbish two of the three preexisting rings.\\
\\
===== Design =====
  * Rings with centrifuge on each level\\
  * Number of rings: 3 (4th in planning)\\
  * Diameter of Centrifuge: 1mi\\
  * Outer Ring Diameter: 3.18mi\\
  * Inner Ring Diameter: 2.18mi\\
  * Outer Ring Circumference: 10mi\\
  * Inner Ring Circumference: 6.85mi\\
  * Ring Width: 1mi\\
  * Rings: living space\\
  * Centrifuge: administration, maintenance, main transportation\\
===== Transportation between rings =====
Elevators take you to and from the centrifuge\\
Passageways between rings (the "streets") allow normal individuals to transverse the rings\\
\\
The "streets" are the most dangerous parts of the station, gangs hunker down in the area and rob innocents and destroy other gangs.\\
\\
Security Force: Before 4042, the Station Security was military personnel. Since 4042, the Security force is composed mostly of volunteers from the ghettos who wish to improve their life and have a steady income. Despite this, there is a rigorous exam before being granted a badge; a background check, physical fitness test, a mental test, and a two week course on how to be Station Security.\\
