Karthi Station
Karthi Station is the home base for the pirates operating in this galaxy. Located in the centre of their territory, the city station is a known haven for all scum and villainy, so long as they follow the rules laid out by the pirates. The station is home to a vast majorities of life from all species and careers, from merchants to workmen, to city officials. Every member of the pirate gang has a home of some sorts in the city station, whether be an actual apartment, a bed in a barracks or a ship docked in the spaceports. Consider the large demographic of criminals, it is no surprise that many of black market traders and smugglers can be found here, as well as bounty postings in every of the many, many bars and taverns and it is the known go-to location for civilians looking for a mercenary or disreputable hire. Many illegal smugglers use the stations as a stopping and storing point during runs and galaxy peacekeepers have long accepted that once a ship is docked at Karthi Station or even enters pirate territory, it is out of their reach and control.
Karthi was made to have the entire city on the top level. Thick barriers protect the city and contain the require atmosphere for life to thrive. The entire city as such can see the vastness of space should they look up among the crammed together buildings, with one exception.
At the centre of Karthi is an elevator that leads to the only level above the city. This the home quarters of the pirate Boss. His home is found at the very peak of Karthi and allows him to look down on the sprawling favela-like city below.
There are some slum areas of Karthi where those without homes rest. These are typically the hunting ground of the pirates needing canon fodder or scapegoats.
Below the city is the maintenance floor of Karthi and below that are the spaceports both private and public.
Demographics
The city follow no specific demographic layout. All species from all professions in all wealth brackets are spread out across the station. The only demographic rule that seems to be enforced is found in the city centre where the highest ranking pirates all live surrounding the elevator entrance the Boss's home.
Government
The pirate boss runs Karthi but employs city officials to run the day-to-day 'boring' parts.
Defences
Being that it is a pirate home, the entire station is outfitted with laser artillery and the constant presence of hundred of pirates at any one time is often enough to dissuade any threats before they even occur.
Industry & Trade
Most trade that occurs on the station is of a criminal nature, be it black market trades and smuggling, to bounty hunting and mercenaries for sale. There are many bars and taverns since there is such a large market created by the pirates. Also because of this there is a large nightlife scene, ranging from nightclubs and bars, to less respectable locales like strip clubs, fight circuits and whore houses.
Architecture
The city is structured much like an urban favela.
