Starbase Alpha
First Starbase.
Notable Locations
The Hull
This encompasses all the spaces made in the hull of the starbase, facing both inward and outward, and on Alpha constitute a large enough populace to form a second city in addition to the aerated sphere. The Trenches are located in the Hull.
The Trenches
"There were outdoor markets in Veta’s city, but this was more exposed technology than the Alliance typically favored as an aesthetic. There was no attempt to disguise the starbase’s metal walls and floors; the shops were cut into the walls and stitched through with glowing blue and purple lights, and glittering fabric swags hung from the balconies, or across the corridors that narrowed into a warren of tunnels: nothing like a true night sky, and yet reminiscent of one anyway. There were raised platforms with kiosks selling coffee and kerinne and alcohol, and alcoves tucked beneath spiraling glass and metal stairs leading to second floors, and third, and fourth. And the people here wore glowing clothes or paint, like deep sea fishes, luminescent and lovely." [1]
Stores in the Trenches
- Mask Museum (where Lisinthir bought the masks)
- Exodus (night club/dance place)
- Brooke's at Alpha restaurant
- Ninochka’s is the Harat-Shariin family style diner but I'm not sure if it's in the Hull or the Trenches or the city-sphere.
The City
The city-sphere is known as "The City" (in opposition to "The Hull"). [2]
