1 |
In orbit of a major body (Earth, Mars, Saturn, etc) |
2 |
In orbit of a major moon (Luna, Deimos, etc) |
3 |
In orbit around a Lagrange point |
4 |
In deep space/orbiting the sun directly (ie in the asteroid belt) |
5 |
On an elliptical orbit that slowly takes the station across the system to various other bodies, like a nomadic caravan |
| d12 | Result |
|---|---|
1 |
Resource extraction (ie asteroid mining - the station is attached to a body of some kind; gas mining - the station orbits Saturn and has siphoning infrastructure extending down the well) |
2 |
Shipbuilding |
3 |
High-end manufacturing |
4 |
Trading |
5 |
No industry (ie, industry used to exist but has left: the asteroid was mined out but the people are left - think space Detroit or something) |
6 |
Tourism (casinos, gambling, zero-G sports, etc) |
7 |
Military (ie naval ports) |
8 |
Broadcast (high-end tightbeam transmitters, space-based media organisations, etc) |
9 |
Private residences (luxury isolated residences for the ultra-wealthy) |
10 |
Corporate HQs |
11 |
Dangerous research (ie biological contaminants that could cause a disaster if let loose on Earth) |
12 |
Space tethers (not feasible on Earth, but very feasible on the moon or something even smaller) |

|---|---|
1 |
Permanent population - the station is like Ceres. People live here, as did their ancestors, and they have no plans to move away. |
2 |
Semi-permanent - the station's population is ever-changing as seasonal work brings in cohorts of new workers. |
3 |
Industrial - the population largely lives here for a few months while doing work, then leaves after their contract is up. Think oil rigs or antarctic research bases. |
4 |
Declining/Booming - how well is the station doing? is the population increasing? |
5 |
Belters/Earthers/Martians - what kind of people live here? is this an indication of how well the station is regarded? how do these different societies mix on the station? |
