Osiris Station

Shortly after the loss of Orion Station, and the subsequent Cataclysm in 2571 removing any chances of its retrieval, a surviving group of mercenaries and criminals discovered Osiris, an asteroid floating freely in space. Among the survivors was a surviving owner of Orion - the once enigmatic Master Halden Cathal - who provided the resources and technology to hollow out the asteroid's interior into their new home.
Today, Osiris is a well established station in its own right and a true successor to Orion. Halden Cathal remains the primary overseer of the station. A mostly enigmatic board of benefactors act as his personal aids and major decisions regarding the station are reached during planned meetings.
The station is currently located close to Kiltorna, right outside the edge of GSU territory.

Description

Osiris is a large disc-shaped station with a protruding spire from its top and a stalk stretching out underneath it. The station is constantly rotating like a spinning top. Built into this stalk are a few hundred hangar bays within which ships of different sizes can dock. From here, an elevator can take one up to the central body. The central body is located within the disc and the interior consists of a vast flat plain of metallic flooring and an far overhead dome-like ceiling, sealed against the vacuum of space. Filling in this place is a bustling marketplace consisting of buildings and stalls of different sizes, all of which surround a central spire. The spire itself extends out of the top of the disc and is reserved for the station's benefactors and rulers.
Osiris Station also supports a layer of energy shielding which protect its body from damage. For offence, several anti-ship and anti-craft weapon systems are located throughout the station's body. Pulse defence lasers, anti-ship torpedoes and railguns provide the perfect defence against potential assailants. Located at the very top of the protruding spire is a single, powerful, photon beam cannon which takes a few seconds to charge up but inflicts devastating damage even against larger and more powerful warships.

Function

Osiris serves as a hub for outlaws and other peoples who would like to remain unaffiliated with any faction or government. The main space of the station is big enough to fit a miniature city inside it, with the occasional multistory building also fitting within. The largest of these buildings is the central spire which almost connects to the station’s ceiling. The ceiling itself is a gigantic screen which displays real time footage of the outside void.
A variety of different businesses exist within this city. There are hotels, clubs, bars, and shops selling everything from cutlery to firearms. Osiris makes its money through taxing businesses, charging entry and parking fees for arrivals, producing and selling equipment made in-house and also acting as a advertiser of contracts - which is well known for.
There are several holographic boards scattered across the city which display contracts which can be taken by anyone. These contracts can be something so simple as fetching some shopping from a particular store to killing a person. Bounty hunters and mercenaries are offered a reward in exchange for completing these tasks by the party who created the contract, which is specified on the advertisement itself. In order to advertise their jobs, contractors must pay a fee to Osiris.
