Heart of the Starlit Court, Sihi was constructed Ages ago - to send her Peoples among the stars to colonize a new world and expand their boundaries - before its purpose was usurped into becoming the lifeboat of those very People, fleeing their dying homeworld.

Many of the secrets contained within have been lost to the Starlit Court in the centuries it has trekked through the endless void on a Grand Quest. However, it has ever been a stalwart Rock to its People, a place of comfort and warmth. A place of growth.

Sihi itself consists mainly of a massive Grand Cylinder that stretches out for miles and which rotates to offset some of the energy requirements in creating an artificial gravity within. On the interior, Sihi is a lush and vibrant paradise, pastoral riverlands and valleys connecting with a myriad of lakes and vast untouched jungle, all of which connects to a sea of freshwater. Home to the bulk of the Starlit Court’s population, and from whence they grow their food, tame beasts, and raise the next generation of their People, all until they might find a new world.

Attributes

Thick Atmosphere

The Atmosphere of Sihi is based on the Elentar of the Zelvan people that the original humans tried to conquer. Our Human+ inhabitants and the Zelvan are able to breathe this atmosphere with no problems, the other species have varying degrees of issue with the atmosphere that they deal with in their own way, with some buildings across the many cities of Sihi being built with climate controls to give the other species places to rest and breathe easy. The Human+ can breath both normal Human Atmosphere and Thicker variants.

Defensive

Armor

Armored with three meter thick plates - at its thinnest point - Sihi is well equipped to handle most small scale impacts. Bolstering this is a low intensity shielding to help protect against minor space debris, dust, and small arms. Point Defense Guns Sihi is covered in a grid of advanced point defense systems, used in main to break apart larger space debris to small chunks that are then handled by its robust armor and shielding. In times of War, they may also be used to shoot down rogue missiles and hostile strike craft that breach the ten kilometer perimeter set up by the Watchtowers.

The Watchtowers

A broken ring that encircles the Grand Cylinder of Sihi roughly two-thirds of the way from the bow, the Watchtowers are split into three distinct sections. Each maintains a garrison of strike fighters and mecha equipped for zero-g maneuvers. These Watchtowers also act as a supplemental source of agricultural farming.

The Fleet

The Fleet of Ships that travels with Sihi? Battleship to Fighter sized craft form the Guardian Fleet around Sihi, these fleets are manned by the Knightly Orders and the Men at Arms, Dedicated to the defense of the Station. Some of these ships will split off when Knights have Quests to fulfill but for the most part the majority of this fleet is always next to Sihi. The Guardian Fleet is formed of a mangerie of different ship shapes from the different species that Live on Sihi, each culture has dedicated a few ships as they have joined the Court over the ages.

Travel

Sublight

Sihi is capable of sublight travel, equipped with an array of powerful propulsion devices capable of moving the massive vessal, though this movement has been generously described as 'ponderous' and 'steady', and slow and lumbering by most.

FTL

Sihi is also capable of FTL travel, using the same standard as most space ships in beacon space, though it is costly even by FTL standards.
