Description:
A massive undertaking begun after the ascent of Edipus Tagge to the head of the massive Tagge Company, the Redoubt class space station was designed to become a flagship project for already established weapons manufacturer. Redoubt stations are imobile fortresses, designed to hold off entire task forces until reinforcments can be summoned, as well as huge port of calls, that can handle massive amounts of trade traffic in its cavernous hanger bays. Designed to be placed away from a planet in it's major hyperlanes, Redoubt's are created to be the first line of defense from both hostile forces like enemy fleets, as well as economic dangers such as smugglers and disease ridden ships.

Their huge size is well utilized, but excess space can be devoted to hotels, resturaunts and other amentities that reinforce their position as the first stop on the way to a planet. These locations can be located in a general area and seal from vital military areas by a variety of security bulkheads, doors and other measures. While the station can support nearly 50,000 beings at one time, a standard contingent of active pesonale is about 28,000.
