Galactic Infrastructure
Galactic Infrastructure
Millennia of construction spanning thousands of star systems. The framework that makes civilization possible—and the architecture that enables its darkest secrets.
Space Stations
Orbital Habitats
Large stations supporting permanent populations—cities in space with full services and long-term residence.
Transit Hubs
Focused on transportation—refueling, resupply, passenger and cargo transfer, short-term stays.
Industrial Stations
Manufacturing, processing, resource extraction support, specialized facilities, worker populations.
Military Installations
Fleet support and command, defended and restricted, strategically positioned.
Planetary Facilities
Cities
Urban centers on habitable worlds with full civilization infrastructure. Development levels vary dramatically between core worlds and colonies.
Industrial Complexes
Manufacturing centers, resource processing, energy production.
Research Installations
Scientific facilities, often remote or isolated. Security levels vary—some hide more than others.
Spaceports
Interface between surface and orbit. Cargo and passenger handling, security checkpoints.
Communication Networks
Relay Network
Stations positioned throughout space that store and forward messages, reducing transmission delays. Dense in core regions, sparse toward the fringe.
Priority Channels
Government and military access with faster transmission and higher security. Premium civilian access available for those who can pay.
Local Networks
Planetary systems, station internals, ship-to-ship communication. Real-time within systems.
Energy Infrastructure
Power Sources
- Fusion - Primary power for most installations
- Antimatter - Higher density for military and premium applications
- Renewable - Solar and geothermal where practical
Life Support
Everything that keeps people alive in space:
- Atmospheric recycling and generation
- Water recycling and storage
- Food production and supply chains
- Multi-species accommodation
The Hidden Purpose
Infrastructure that supports billions also hides secrets. Hidden facilities within legitimate structures. Trafficking waypoints. Experimentation sites. The same systems that enable civilization also enable its darkest operations.
Galactic infrastructure forms the backdrop of the entire Fannec Records series—the framework within which both civilization and conspiracy operate.
