Description
Crucible Station is an orbital prison found in orbit of Sian's moon, Nuwa. Created for House Liao's Maskirovka, the station serves as an interrogation center and high-risk security prison. Built in the 3060s, the station serves to solve the Maskirovka's problem of preventing prisoners deemed dangerous to the state from escaping its planetary-based facilities.
The station's battalion of marines secure the facility from being overwhelmed by its prisoners. Each of the station's inmates are incarnated in their own solitary cell, which also serves as an interrogation chamber for the station's personnel.[1]
Armament and Features
The station is defended by an array of Extended Range Large Lasers, Small Pulse Lasers and short-range Missile Launchers mounted in all of its arcs. The weapon bays' heat is managed by Crucible's 150 Double Heat Sinks, allowing multiple weapon bays to be fired from different arcs.
The Station's weakness is its seventy-five tons of standard armor protection, which is considerably light by DropShip standards. The light armor prevents heavy weapons fire from penetrating and hitting the station's fragile interior.[2]
Cargo
- Bay 1: Small Craft (6) - 2 Doors
- Bay 2: Infantry (foot) platoons (9)
- Bay 3: Cargo Bay (550 tons) - 2 Doors
Notes
As of this time, there no battle value assigned to Crucible Station. The station as of this writing appears to unique design.[3]
