''It really was hollow, like a Dyson sphere. What was the outer wall on the outside was the floor on the inside.

What was the outer wall on the outside was the floor on the inside. There had to be gravity generators set into the inner surface but their sensors suggested that they were quite localized and somewhat variable. The core of the asteroid was open, with ships moving here and there. Nothing large. The docking pads were arrayed about that space; they would be viewed as being in the ‘sky’ above by those who were using the base’s facilities.'' | ||
Gravity plating was only used where needed, the body of the asteroid helping out. Only the rich places had full plating. | Gravity plating was only used where needed, the body of the asteroid helping out. Only the rich places had full plating. | ||

Deeper into ''The Rock'', the venues became a bit larger and more permanent in nature. Clubs, bars, and other adult entertainment venues were advertised by gaudy holograms, bright lights, and loud music. | Deeper into ''The Rock'', the venues became a bit larger and more permanent in nature.

*'''Lwuin Qei''': Situated nicely on a corner, wide windows allowed everyone to see in and out, with a view of a nearby turbolift. If they were going ahead with the disruption, they could see who was coming and from what side. Not to mention, electronic gambling equipment was docked at the back of the bar. That in itself indicated hard-wiring to the Rock's electrical systems. Perhaps they'd rather their cut of winnings wired directly to their pockets, rather than suffer unexpected wireless failure, as minute a possibility as it may be. | *'''Lwuin Qei''': Situated nicely on a corner, wide windows allowed everyone to see in and out, with a view of a nearby turbolift.

=== The ''Rich Section'' === | |||
The Rich section is where the rich and powerful live. They don't spare expenses to live in total comfort. This section is in an 'artificial center' of the station. While still on the wall of the asteroid and therefore no actual center being possible, the rest of the station's facilities has been built around the rich section giving it the appearance of a center from some locations. | |||
That location was chosen because that is where the rock of the asteroid outside is thickest and offers the most protection. This is the only area in the station with full gravitation plating. While all the station has Security forces, they are more present in this area. | |||
Rules of the Rich Section | |||
# Security here is NOT on your side. They're only loyal to the highest payer and that's never gonna be 'us'. | |||
