Confluence Station

Sector ID: 9010 | OL: Hub (all levels) | PvP: No

The crossroads of the known galaxy. Three major gate connections branch from Confluence Station - one toward Varath industrial space, one toward Keth frontier territory, one toward Meridian deep space. A fourth connects back toward the entry sectors. A fifth goes to Conflict Zone via a jump point that is technically illegal to use without a license and practically impossible to regulate.

Confluence is where the New Concordat has its most visible expression: Varath merchants, Keth soldiers, and Meridian Wayfarers sharing the same station concourse and mostly managing not to start anything. The station's security force is tri-racial by treaty and underfunded by choice - nobody wants the other two races to have a well-armed police presence here.

Key features: Major trading hub, all faction representatives, gate access to all three racial paths, black market (unofficial), Concordat diplomatic office (mostly ignored).

Primary XP: Trade (best market in the mid-game), Combat (patrol contracts for the approaches), Explore (the gate network branches here - nav surveys available for all three paths).

Mobs: None in the station zone. Approaches have faction patrol mobs and pirates.

Lore note: The jump point to Conflict Zone has been "under review for closure" by the Concordat for eleven years. It remains open. The review committee has not met since the second year.
