Technologies of the Whai: Difference between revisions

* Tinara[[Tīnarā_and_Stjarnaby#Tīnarā|Tīnarā]] - The largest station over [[Dynae]]. Built around a central spire with 5 counter-rotating rings. Rapid expansion following the cataclysm of Dynae stopped two of the habitation wings to accommodate additional living spaces.

* [[Tīnarā_and_Stjarnaby#Styarnaby|Styarnaby]] - The sister station to TinaraTīnarā, was not expanded as rapidly as TinaraTīnarā and resembles an old Dynaean station.

* [[Dynae#Ulfbert Magnus|Ulfbert Magnus]] - Dynae’s largest dockyards built out of an old military base.

* [[Dynae#Kanisthaou|Kanisthaou and Canala 6]] - The heavily populated moon of Dynae focused around the prosperous refueling station of Canala 6 at its heart.

* Hvalakokari - A whaling station over the ice giant [[Teuthem#Paikea|Paikea]], in Teuthem.

* [[Gateway#Voo 6|Voo 6]] - A deep space station built around a sealed vault.

* [[Nusantara#Karang|Karang Belt Stations]] - Little way-stations, beacons, and lighthouses to help the Whai navigate the dust, rocks, and void-snakes of Nusantara’s[[Nusantara]]’s belt.

* [[Rosebud#Polyantha|Polyantha]] - The first moon of Rosebud and a local resort.

* [[Langgan#Relic's_Harbor|Relic’s Harbor]] - Research station recently built over Langgan, has expanded into a sprawling network of neighborhoods and ‘suburbs’

* [[Kuafu#Dave|Dave]] - Refueling depot and supply hub in Kuafu. Serves as a last stop for many whalers and explorers in the west.

Terrestrial settlements follow a similar form to Whai space stations. They are typically built out of a foundational ship or prefabricated colony core but expanded in an ad-hoc fashion. [[Dynae#Geo-City-One|Geodesic City One]] on Dynae is a prime example of one of these central structures. Depending on the local conditions expansions may take the form of a warren of subterranean tunnels, scavenged structures transplanted in place, or masonry buildings using local rock. Little grand planning or elaborate schemes are created for new settlements. Instead, the growth of cities is incremental rather than revolutionary. Services and infrastructure are added when they are needed rather than aspirationally.
