It is also one of the two most significant bases of operation for the [[Free Trade Union]]. The Asterospolis is in fact not so much a station as it is an asteroid that has been converted to enable humanoid habitation. It usually travels slowly through space as a free floating body, using the inertia gained from the gravitational pull of nearby stars to propel itself. The Asterospolis is equipped with thrusters to provide limited manoeuvrability. It's present location is forty-one light years from [[Deep Space 17]], right on the edge of the Ithassa region. | ||
Like [[ma:UFP|Federation]] colonies, the Asterospolis utilises artificial gravity generators and an environmental containment field to create an [[ma:Class M|M-class]] environment on a large asteroid. But there all similarity ends. Imagine the main town (the polis) as some immense yeast culture, left in a damp cupboard by an absent-minded lab technician, festering uncontrolled, and running rampant in the ideal growth conditions. | Like [[ma:UFP|Federation]] colonies, the Asterospolis utilises artificial gravity generators and an environmental containment field to create an [[ma:Class M|M-class]] environment on a large asteroid.
