The story
Terra Prime is the capital port of the Terra Empire: a giant artificial body hanging 1.5 million km from Earth at the Sun–Earth L2 point (where the James Webb telescope stands). A spinning ring gives it gravity; outside the ring, vast solar arrays make 120 MW, and in the main module eight RTGs (plutonium-238) give heat and electricity as a backup.
The side hulls carry X- and Ka-band phased arrays and a laser-comm terminal, and the dockyard has cryogenic fuel depots and a ship-repair gantry. Every player who has joined the Terra Empire has 12 berths here: a docked ship can leave again without any launch pad.
Missions
- The official port of the Terra Empire
- Real counterparts: Gateway (around the Moon) and the ISS
Colony note
A port, not a settlement. Only members of the Terra Empire may dock (join from the War tab).
What probes bring back
- A giant port at the Sun–Earth L2 point, 1.5 million km from Earth: a spinning ring gives gravity and the solar arrays make 120 MW.
- Backup power comes from RTGs (plutonium-238); radio and the cryogenic stores run day and night alike.
