Space Station SAKURA *

********************************

A space station, which has been mostly abandoned. Currently, there's only a few

people on it (compared to what it used to look like), maintaining systems and

simply living. It used to be a mining base, however, the crew moved to the new

station in another location and abandoned this one.

Currently, it has been mostly downscaled to reduce resources needed to run it

and all the spaces have been converted for different purposes. Ore storages

have been converted to greenhouses, more comfortable living cabins, a workshop

and a little newer equipment. Current is pretty obsolete as it comes to

contemporary standards. However, the most of it is still in active use!

The station is powered by solar panels as a primary source of power.

Secondary source are nuclear reactors cooled with liquid metal in primary

coolant loop.

Propulsion is based on thermonuclear engines as they've proven to be the most

efficient. Fuel+oxidizer engines are kept as a backup.

Hydrogen can be used as fuel for both engines and backup combustion generator.

When it comes to current usage, it mostly serves as a maintenance base and

a pretty old, big communication node. It still has storage space which can be

used for freight, but as the station itself isn't the best when it comes to

moving around the space, it's not used for trading as widely as before.

The station has also been fitted with medical equipment in case of emergency

calls from other ships.

There are two smaller units, both were freighters. One has been converted to

a passenger ship for the current crew's needs.
