Agadon Reach

(Information credit to Babylon 5 | The Babylon Project

Agadon Reach is constructed of several long, cylindrical sections which are joined together by a series of support pylons and airlocks. The space station is 8.04672 kilometers long (5 miles). Gravity is produced by rotation. Fusion reactors generate the main power to run the station's systems.


Basic Specifications:

Length
8.0645 km (centrifuge)


Displacement
2,500,000 tons (revolving metal)


Defenses

Defense Grid: Standard pulse cannons to interceptors, mine and missile launchers, and particle beam cannons. Additional defensive screens provide defense against incoming fire


Personnel 2,500 Crew & Administration
1,500 Docker's Guild

Population
250,000 (at capacity)




Layout:


Water reclamation systems recycle water, and include water for showers for the executive suites and command quarters only.

The core of Agadon Reach is divided into six color-coded sectors: Blue, Red, Green, Brown, Grey and Yellow, the latter of which is not part of the rotating carousel. Each rotating sector is subdivided into 36 regions divided along 10-degree lines respective to the station core. Directions within the station are noted as spinward, retrograde, forward (toward the command sphere), and aft (toward the power plant).

In the front of the station, two large prongs provide forward cargo stabilizers.

Sectors

The corridors of each segment are marked with stripes corresponding to the sector's color. This provides residents and visitors quick indication of their approximate location in the station. Most corridors also contain numbered placards on the walls at intersections, applying a level / area name to the location (i.e., "Blue-3", "Red-5", "Green-2", "Brown-57", "Grey-16").

Blue Sector: Blue Sector comprises the forward segment of the rotating section and extends several kilometers aft to Red Sector, housing the maintenance and operational control centers, docking bays, customs, embarkation, the observation dome, the cobra bays and C&C as well as quarters for station personnel. Access to this level is restricted to station personnel and VIPs only.

Red Sector: Red Sector is the largest of the station's rotating sections and serves as the station's commercial area. Businesses such as hotels, casinos, bars, restaurants, the Zócalo, and conference areas can be found here. Medlab, Security headquarters, and the Judiciary are also located in Red Sector. Access to Red Sector is unrestricted.

Green Sector: Green Sector, also known as the diplomatic sector, is restricted to diplomatic and command personnel. To accommodate the various diplomats and other guests, medlab facilities are also available in Green Sector. The presence of Green Sector could be ascertained outside the station via the bulge in the center of the carousel.

Brown Sector: Brown sector houses the industrial work that supports the life support and waste reclamation facilities. It is located at the rear of the station's rotating section. It is located aft of Green Sector and fore of Grey Sector. Originally, it was intended to be a secondary commercial area like Red Sector, but went unfinished in the rush to complete construction.

Grey Sector: Grey Sector is the furthest section of the carousel aftward, just aft of Brown Sector. Atmosphere monitoring, the alpha power station, fabrication furnaces and maintenance facilities could be found here in the sector's 30 levels. Grey Sector's structure is incomplete due to budgetary restrictions. Due to the machinery, scans and communications are unreliable. Grey Sector access is restricted to command, security and maintenance personnel. Due to reports of missing persons and strange occurrences, Grey 17 has been placed off-limits to all but security personnel.

Yellow Sector: The single largest segment of the station, Yellow Sector consists of all of the zero-gravity sections of the station. The main body is the spinal cargo facility which manages zero-g cargo transfers and holds the bulk of the station's supplies. It also houses certain facilities such as variable gravity research labs and zero-g maintenance. Aft of the carousel, a 3 km long, tubular section contains the primary fusion core and fuel tanks.

Yellow Sector connects to both Blue Sector and Gray Sector via the linkages that power the station's rotation.


Central Corridor

The Central Corridors are a series of multi-level public access ways that run around the station's circumference or linearly along its length and often serve as public areas and marketplaces. The Zócalo is situated in one such linear corridor.

Living Quarters

Living quarters on Agadon Reach are divided up according to size, quality and function. Since space is at a premium on the station, larger quarters are correspondingly more expensive.
F-size was one of the larger sizes. The quarters in Blue Sector are reserved for station personnel, including the command staff, support workers, station services, pilots, dock workers and visiting VIPs. The size of the quarters assigned to station personnel is determined according rank and position.

Living quarters in Green Sector are generally reserved for Ambassadors, diplomatic personnel and visiting dignitaries and are paid for by their respective governments. Some non-diplomatic economy quarters in the are available to rent in the Alien Sector, for species that require alternate atmospheres.

In Red and Brown Sectors living quarters are available to rent for station visitors and vary from the small and spartan economy sized which contain little more than a bed, table and chair to the modest but well furnished business which comes with Babcom and data net access and entertainment terminals. The luxury class quarters are the finest and by extension the most expensive suites on Agadon Reach and come with a full range of amenities including a water (or racial equivalent) shower.

Down Below

Downbelow is a term used for the various undeveloped areas of the station, mostly in the lower levels, near the outer hull, around the waste recycling system, the air compressors, and the water reclamation facility. It is one of the most unpleasant areas of the station and is home to the station's homeless underclass, known as Lurkers.
