Destiny (Off-Earth State)

Destiny


The Union of Everett has begun to undertake a massive construction operation to contruct Everett's first space station. The Destiny Space Dock will be the largest single object constructed by the human race, capable of housing comfortably one million people. The dock will consist of nine ports, six on the lower section, three on the upper section, for large scale space craft such as the AC-0001 and three ports on the upper section for passenger-class space craft such as the planned space-capable Sonic Cruiser (Boeing 818). Throughout the lower section will be docking bays for fighter craft and future small scale transport craft. The interior will contain 750,000 individual small apartments, four hospitals, an airport (located in the upper section), two water treatment plants, a fusion reactor plant, 15 large recreation areas, a subway system, two malls, six military outposts and fighter bays, a large science and research center and 15 grocery shopping centers. The hallways of the craft are extended to make room for trams, bicycles and golf cart sized vehicles. The station will be a total of 8,400 feet long, 7,500 feet wide and 1,600 feet tall. There will be 80 floors in the lower section and 80 floors in the upper section, totaling 160 floors. It will have fusion engines for readjusting it's position and slow flight capability. Throughout the station will be artificial gravity, oxygen producing systems, plant life and in the recreation areas, artificial rain.

Construction
Construction will cost an estimated $650 billion and last until August 2010. A force of 100,000 droids will start off the construction and as construction intensifies, 500,000 SBR droids will work. The first phase of contruction involves contructing the upper station of the dock which will contain three ports for large scale space craft and the airport. This will function as a temporary space station until the lower station is completed. The lower station will be completed in sections, airlocked so the new port and section can be put into use immediately, rather than waiting for the entire lower station to be built.
