Enclave
Nation Name: The Telrosian Union
Name of Enclave: Sanctum
Description of your Claim:
The Telrosian Union's station, Sanctum, is a state of the art, completely new design of orbital stations for the purpose of pursuing diplomatic and economic endeavors in foreign space. The design was commissioned by the government several years ago, seeking one that could mixed defensibility, economic and diplomatic comfort, and an impression of awe, seeing as this would be one of the first moves for the Union to be recognized by the greater galaxy. A Dryadali architect, Achiq Yupanqui, won the resulting contest with a design that has managed to mix all three into a perfect package. This design uses the shape of a diamond, a white hull with blue lights seen shining and blinking all over from all the equipment and lighting, to provide sleek, vibrant surfaces that can glance some enemy fire and provide a maximum range and number of defensive weaponry and laser shielding that can be brought to bear on its six kilometers worth of surface. Covered in heavy and pulse laser turrets, plasma missile tubes and point defense lasers and Cloudburst missile launchers, it is a veritable fortress when needed. For the sake of stability and peace, they are made to be deployable, to be revealed only when trouble rears its head.
From each corner on the side, an array of factories, shipyards and trade stations branch out from the main 'trunk', providing a host of entertainment, purchasing and production venues for the Liu Xiu system. The main structure itself is host to a large facility to house a diplomatic station that can handle many meetings of various levels at the same time, provide the creature comforts for any species that comes aboard, and the space set aside for any nation or organization who wishes to rent space so as to gain rapid contact with the Union for any such purpose as is needed. The facility houses up to over three hundred Union employees, with a company of Union Marines to serve as a defensive garrison, due to much of the station's administrative and production systems being handled by widespread automation.
It also comes with the TUS Ikram, a Saber-class Frigate of the Union Navy as additional garrison, which dedicates two months of every year to aiding the Polyarchy in patrolling the Liu Xiu System exclusive, as part of the deal struck for getting an Enclave and an outpost in the system.
Outpost
Nation Name The Telrosian Union
Name of Outpost: Xiuhcoatl
Description of your Claim:
In addition to its massive Enclave station at Kappa 7, the Union also requisitioned a somewhat large asteroid out in the Double Belter. This facility was represented by the Quetzal Corporation, a major producer of weapons, information technology as well as being one of the leading companies in research and development. They are often given contracts by the Union given to improve or invent new technologies for them. This facility is just exactly that to the outside eye, it is built into the rocky surface of the asteroid, utilizing the outer shell as additional armor in case of any attacks. In the absence of any official Union protection, and with rules relaxed out there, they have deployed a network of anti-ship weaponry and satellites around it to keep the facility secure from raiders and pirates. Two heavy laser turrets, three missile tubes and a point defense network, along with ten or twelve missile satellites are what the Corporation has managed to develop.
Here, they develop new technologies and/or produce information technology for the various powers and Enclaves in the system, as well as the Union government. They have been pursuing new lines of technology by wooing scientists from other nations to work for them and purchasing technologies that they can study and attempt to improve upon. As with any in the Double Belter, however, there are always secrets and people playing close to the legal line. Some would say that they also produce weapons there, despite the ban, and have quite a black market going on there for weapons, armor and other such items. There is no such proof, so they are just rumors relegated to bitter former employees and business rivals.
Right?

Nation Name: Pan-Asian People's Hegemony
Name of Enclave/Outpost: New Macau
Description of your Claim:
New Macau: New Macau, an enclave located on the surface of Jiwao, is a city of approximately 9,000,000, covering much of a small peninsula and island in the northern tropical zone of the planet. It possesses a single space elevator, connected to Ziyou Station, a massive, state-of-the-art orbital station that itself houses approximately a hundred thousand people.
However, New Macau is a large and lively city, one of the P.A.P.H's major financial and commercial centers. It is also exempt from many of the Hegemony's tariffs, laws, and trade restrictions, and is thus a major center for casinos and luxury item manufacturing and retail.
Ziyou Station: Home to a hundred thousand people, Ziyou Station is the Hegemony's busiest spaceport, busier even than the Shanghai-Shenzhen Elevator or Yokohoma Station. It is comprised of five massive wheel-shaped structures, all five of which rotate to provide artificial gravity. The wheels in the center and at the top and bottom house the Station's massive cargo processing centers and docks, while the other two are home to its sizeable population. The "spokes" of each wheel are massive tubes, which each lead to a smaller wheel that encircles the elevator. These smaller wheels are, in reality, massive docking systems. The elevator, when docked, connects to the Station at five points, two of which carry passengers, three of which carry cargo. When the elevator is not docked, powerful magnet arrays on the wheel-docks and the elevator thread keep the station from drifting into the thread.
Approximately ten miles above the station is the thread's secondary counterweight, on the end of the elevator. This counterweight is connected by secondary threads to the station, and itself contains the main computer that controls the elevator, as well as a small habitation pod for maintenance personnel.
OOC: Basically, I'm building a new nation for IC interactions, and I decided now's as good a time as any to start it.

Enclave Or Outpost?; Outpost
Nation Name; The Confederacy of Uralis
Name of Enclave/Outpost; ‘Room Two-oh-Seven’
Description of your Claim;
“There’s talk of strange folk from abroad…”
The Double-Belter is home to many groups, the miners, the traders of varying degrees of scrupulousness, pirates, hired security, all manner of surveyors, spies and soldiers from one star-faring nation or another, and for the past few months; it has played host to a new party. In the months immediately following the first contact between Confederate security forces and Corporate Militias from the Huerdaen Star Empire, wider contact with the rest of the civilized galaxy has prompted a number of political reactions within the Confederacy. As the Confederate Senate has squabble amongst itself and shown a degree of confusion and panic over the Confederacy’s perceived position of weakness in the galaxy, the Directorate and the Confederate Security Intelligence Service have pursued a slow, even hand in dealing with the wider galaxy.
With remarkable speed and efficiency, the CSIS has set up intelligence missions across the Quadrant. Although the scale of operations in many areas is still limited, the CSIS has already managed to gather useful information on galactic cultures, economies, politics, societies and to an extent, militaries; information is golden in the new era of Confederate foreign policy. Despite the rapid expansion of CSIS operations outside Confederate territory, and the oncoming expansion of the organisation itself alongside other Intelligence Agencies tied to the Executive, the abilities of the CSIS to operate far from Confederate space are still limited. The Liu Xiu star system presents to the CSIS a unique opportunity; a meeting point between many important powers, not only from the local Quadrant, but from the wider galaxy. With CSIS manpower limited, the Liu Xiu system has rightly received an emphasis for intelligence personnel deployments, with the main goals of the mission there being more or less identical to the organisations new mission across the galaxy; collect alien technologies of interest, gather intelligence on galactic civilisations, identify threats to the Confederacy and its interests, and act accordingly on information gathered.
In keeping with both the recentness of the CSIS incursion into the system and the secrecy of the operations there, there are very few locals aware of the CSIS presence. Despite this, the presence has quickly led to the rise of rumours and anecdotes about men kidnapped in the night, weapons and spaceship parts bartered for in the back alleys and strange new men stalking the shadows of the system, though what they look like and who they are, none can say. Rumours of a new criminal organisation, a new spy agency or shadow organisation and even rumours of a mysterious cult persist as conjecture towards identifying the newcomers. The rumours hold that there exists either armies of these mysterious agents, or that the new force in the system is but a single man. In actuality, the CSIS presence consists of ninety seven agents, and a changing number of temporary personnel being rotated in and out of the system as needed.
The main base of operations for the CSIS in the Liu Xiu system, ‘Room Two-Oh-Seven’, is nested somewhere in the Double-Belter, hidden amongst the comings and goings of a mining and trading population at one station or another; its exact location is a tightly guarded secret. Because CSIS operations in the system encompass a wide range of areas, the personnel of the CSIS mission in the system are spread out across a few dozen safe houses across Liu Xiu. It is unclear how the Confederate mission objectives in the area will change in the coming years, as the Confederacy enters a new era of foreign, military, economic and social policy, with its status as a junior faction in a dangerous galaxy casting a shadow of paranoia and uncertainty over Confederate interests, the CSIS must be prepared to do as it has always done in the Frontier; adapt and survive, to overcome. For now however, the CSIS is content to do as spies do, and wait and watch from the shadows in the dark corners of the system.

Enclave Or Outpost?: Enclave
Nation Name: The Utæ Regency
Name of Enclave/Outpost: Paatala 668
Description of your Claim:
Paatala 668 is a Bishop Ring in orbit of one of Kappa 7's larger moons (usually designated by the Utæ as Zhao 266). It uses an array of spaceborne mirrors to focus sunlight onto the Ring's surface, and these mirrors can be manipulated to provide a basic day-night cycle. Paatala 668 is home to around a billion inhabitants, primarily humans, who are primarily engaged in agriculture along the ring's fertile, warm, and moist surface. The ring has only a few major bodies of water, and of these, only one is salty. The climate is generally tropical to subtropical.
Paatala 668's interior is essentially a giant memory farm, tended to by robots. The computers tucked away inside the ring provide the necessary storage for the AIs that govern the ring settlements themselves, as well as some extra functions for the Regency's government as a whole. The station frequently does have extra data storage capacities, though, and these are often rented out to the people of the Liu Xiu system as Cloud computing space and the like, or for shadier operations.
The ring's exterior is a resilient blend of layers of carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as some radiation shielding. Most of the radiation shielding is provided, however, by Zhao 266's magnetosphere, which Paatala 668 orbits within. The ring's exterior is dotted with point-defense lasers and other anti-collision systems to ensure the security of those on the interior surface.

Enclave Or Outpost?; Outpost
Nation Name; Zorkus Relay Congregation
Name of Enclave/Outpost; KM-2515
Description of your Claim; A representative of the Principality in the Milky Way Galaxy, KM-2515 is founded by the more business-orientated element of Soros Detachment which seek to expand both private and the Detachment commercial interest into the greater expanse of the galaxy. The effort, part private and part national interest of the Congregation seek to provide information and good services throughout the Liu Xiu system by capitalizing on Principality unique virtual storage technology.
KM-2515 carries the tone of Principality pre-fabricated space outpost with sturdy and blocky architecture made to be modular in appearance; in a fair distance, the outpost looked nothing more than a collection of hexagonal blocks with a defined spinning-top like shape that suggests it rotates for gravity but on the contrary the outpost have its own gravity generators to do so. Majority of KM-2515 components are specialized Principality-standard storage modules, accompanied by occasional spear-like antennas in optimized locations. There are three specialized ship docking bays, each radiating like a spoke from the center of the outpost.
KM-2515 only have two primary commercial presence, consisting of Cocoon Transmatter Services and Ligtel Refiners; Cocoon Transmatter Services represent seventy percent share on the outpost while the rest belonged to Ligtel Refiners and smaller independent private ventures, such as L-90 Mercenaries and free slots offered for others that wished to set up shop inside the outpost.
As reiterated, Cocoon Transmatter Services provide specialized D-Terminals (or simply D-T) for users to use as a communication device and a virtual storage system. For a small fee, the user can use D-T to both communicate and purchase or transfer physical goods between D-Ts and the outpost itself. The user can also use the D-T system to anonymously post information or buy for one as long the user is within the reception of the outpost or another D-T unit that is within coverage of the outpost.
Ligtel Refiners on the other hand provide refining services to most common astro-resources utilizing Principality relativistic matter processor technology, to quickly and efficiently output refined products as requested by a client for a certain fee. The same outpost also serve as a common trading place; for a small fee, the outpost can buy or sell products as requested by interested clients. KM-2515 is gravitationally anchored near Kappa 7 although it can move to a new location if it's required.

Making an 'arena', for want of a better word, where people can build up character arcs and interact with others who previously they may not have had the chance to.
But for various reasons, Dreadful Sagittarius will no longer be an active roleplaying nation. Temporary or permanent, I do not know, and so Liu Xiu must find a new home.
Vocenae, who undoubtedly a great many of you know, has kindly agreed to take over Liu Xiu for me. Like the current incarnation, he has agreed to maintain the rules and standards, be they ever so humble. I'm sure that under his care, Liu Xiu will become an even greater setting for the benefit of our fractious, but wonderfully creative community.
