Absalom Station

At five miles in diameter, Absalom Station is a tiny structure compared to the planets and moons of other worlds. It has artificial gravity and relies heavily on recycling. However, it is also a densely populated place that more than 2 million people call home.

Details
Absalom Station is a hub of intragalactic space travel thanks to the Starstone, which both powers the station and serves as a mysterious but extremely powerful Drift beacon. Thanks to the Starstone, a starship with a Drift engine in Drift-accessible points of the galaxy can reach Absalom Station in less than a week, even if travel to any other location would take longer.

The Starstone that powers the station served as a powerful Drift beacon that drew newly gifted Drift-traveling visitors from across the galaxy. After vesk incursions into the Golarion system (as the Core Worlds system was then known), officials from Absalom Station, Verces, and Castrovel called for the formation of a system-wide defense and governance pact. The Absalom Pact was named for the station, and the Core Worlds' formation made Absalom Station its effective capital.

Geography
From above, it is shaped like an asymmetrical six-pointed star, spread across a flat disk with the central habitation zone covered in a dome.

Districts
The station is divided into several districts:

The Armada
A flotilla of spaceships, many of them semi-permanent structures comprised of several ships rafted together, form a transient and chaotic neighborhood surrounding the station.

The Arms
Radial arms extend from the station's center and form its many docking bays.

The Ring
Corridors connect the Arms to the central Eye, forming a decidedly middle-class neighborhood.

The Eye
The central dome of the station houses its most upscale residents, largest businesses, and most prominent organizations.

The Spike
Slums and gang warrens fill the space beneath the Eye, extending down to the heavily defended Starstone Reactor.
