Planetary Colony in Spacedock
Planetary Colony in Spacedock
This is a long post and takes several posts to finish.
There is a picture from the re-mastered Star Trek the Original Series that shows the Enterprise in orbit of planet that has series of domes on the surface of the planet in a pentagon arrangement. I can’t remember which episode that this was but it was memorable for me I think it is the Lights of Zadar or something like that. My Star Trek The Original Series remastered DVD collection has been barrowed by someone and has not returned it yet who it was I cannot say as I do not remember giving permission. This was the image that spawned into what has come to be this multiple posts of a colony outpost. I treated the place like that a fort Laramie where everyone comes and goes but no one really stays for long.
Looking at the collection of domes together they have redundant systems such as the Medical and science systems and such that are not needed with a dome that is dedicated to science but that is lost when viewed with the possibility of contagion or such.
I made the planet a smallish planet than is little more than a tenth (12.4%) the size of the Earth. I knew I had to make the planet a Class K as it would be the most realistic. I left plenty of room to make large changes and upgrades as the place evolves.
I wanted a moderate size population and came up with just over 45,000 people and that could be kicked up with the addition of crew quarters. A couple hundred SU’s thrown to the Crew quarters on each dome could sky rocket the population up but too many people the place is just too crowded.

The Planetoid
Class K (habitable with pressure domes only)
Diameters: 1612 Kilometers
Circumference: 4960 Kilometers
Surface Area: 63,249,300 square kilometers
Materials: a multitude of materials mostly common nickels and basic irons materials that is common throughout the galaxy. There little use to the mining guilds or construction of anything that is needed anywhere else in the galaxy.
Description: The planet is a young world in a solar system is the youngest in the sector sitting on the edge of the local nebula. There is several other planets in the system with two dozen moons littering the system and a moderately dense asteroid belt on the outer edge of the system.
