Astral Bastion
An Astral Bastion is a city that exists within the Astral void in five stationary points around the planet of Mirendakor. The bastions are capital city-sized colonies on asteroids floating in the astral void. The bastions were formally the home to many people who would live, trade, and pass from moon to moon on a daily basis. The bastions are so large that they do not have conventional drives and had to be towed through the Astral void to their final place. Each bastion is said to house massive and powerful weapons systems, and the central castle of the Bastions Lord Mayor houses many torpedo silos providing powerful salvos to offer extra support to each weapon system.
Each bastion contains an orbital elevator that leads miles away from its surface to an orbital shipyard known as an Orbital Loom, these looms provide docking points to anything up to cruiser size to resupply and repair. The elevators were put in place to ensure the repair crews are not disturbed during work.
The Astral Bastions were the center of operations for the Vrynn Astral Fleet as a hub for further excursions out into the wider astral void. All are long forgotten by the people of Mirendakor, or the knowledge of their existence is a highly guarded secret. Unknown to those who live planetside many have become the home to creatures that ply their trades on the astral void or those who have discovered the means to travel from the surface of the moons to the bastions that are close to their orbits.
Only well-known and successful admirals, or captains would have been entrusted to oversee a bastion, as they would have taken years to build, moved into place, and stock with both goods and people.
