((This thread includes the space around the station, the hangars, tunnels and other infrastructure. Specific rooms will get their own threads.))
The Dividing Line orbits the planet Tarum III, a now uninhabited planet spotted with ruins of a long lost civilization. The Line itself is a ball of steel the size of a small town. Two quadrants circle the station horizontally.
... Or they are supposed to be.
When the ships drop out of FTL they see a fallen giant. As it is the station hangs in the orbit lopsided, slowly turning and twisting around itself. All shields are deactivated, and there is no atmosphere, no gravity, no life support. The windows are dark, and the turrets hang there like skin peeling off after a sunburn. The steel surface has various dents where a stray piece of galactic waste hit it. An empty shell, devoid of all life. Desolate.
