SOLBASE

This Space-Fortress is now the centre of the New Defensive
Initiative. It is a vital part in the attempts of Mankind to
protect itself. After Solbase became operational - it was
towed into Sun-orbit. An orbit which was felt to offer maximum
defensive potential about the poles of the solar system.
Supply ships from Earth keep the base stocked with parts ,
crew and supplies.

The base is in the form of a cross. It rotates to provide
centrifugal gravity. The central hub offers docking facilities
for incoming craft. An elevator can move a ship from the hub
"downwards" to the launch bay. Ships in the launch bay are
"dropped" out of their cradle into space. The three other arms
of Solbase house the accommodation modules and command
headquarters. Quadspace micro-relays can be launched from
Solbase to get messages to any vessel in the local group in a
matter of seconds.

We intend to turn the tables. We intend to protect ourselves by
fighting back. At last we have a weapon:
The FOE-57 spacecraft.
