			== Administration ==
			Scavenger Base is overseen by a Senior Commander responsible for station operations, security coordination, and inter-organizational liaison.

			The current Senior Commander is '''[[Velasha Akori]]''', who serves as the primary authority aboard the base.
			Akori coordinates between Scavenger Salvage and Transit Services, the [[Prosian Merchant Corps]], and Alliance oversight representatives, ensuring operational neutrality while maintaining station security and transit integrity.

			Her command style emphasizes stability, discretion, and continuity—qualities considered essential for a facility that functions simultaneously as a civilian habitat, commercial hub, and strategic transit node.

			== Level 5: Restaurants and Social Venues ==
			Level 5 serves as the primary cultural mixing space aboard Scavenger Base, frequented by crew, students, merchants, and visiting travelers.

			Notable establishments include:

			* '''Cavendish's Lounge''' – A well-known interstellar chain restaurant offering standardized cuisine, private booths, and neutral meeting space for off-record negotiations.
			* '''Noka' Atrium Cafe and Game Room''' – A two-level venue with casual dining on the upper floor and a student-oriented gaming and social space below; popular with Merchant Corps trainees.
			* '''Joko's Deli''' – Specializes in Earth and Prosian comfort foods, known for informal atmosphere and cross-cultural menus.
			* '''Tonsat Feck''' – A Tonan-owned restaurant serving traditional Tonan dishes; widely regarded as a quiet symbol of post-conflict reconciliation.

Acquisition by SSTS

			=== Purchase and Financing ===
			The asteroid facility was acquired personally by '''[[Vek Tollin]]''' on behalf of Scavenger Salvage and Transit Services using a promissory note rather than immediate capital.

			At the time of purchase, SSTS possessed little liquid funding, relying instead on future salvage operations and contractual recovery work.
			The promissory obligation was fully satisfied following a major scavenging run conducted in the aftermath of the [[Tonan Attack on Earth]], during which SSTS recovered high-value materials, derelict assets, and restricted technology.

			The success of that operation permanently secured Scavenger Base as an owned facility rather than a leased or Alliance-controlled installation.

'''Scavenger Base''' is a hybrid Prosian–Alliance installation carved inside a mined asteroid that orbits the homeworld [[Prose]].
It serves as the principal port and administrative center for the {{Ship|SS Scavenger DX-1017}} and allied vessels.
Unlike ring or tower stations, the base rises vertically through the asteroid’s body, its open face shielded with transparent plating that overlooks Prose.
The levels are numbered **from bottom to top** (Level 1 = Docking Ring). Passenger lifts and freight elevators connect all pressurized sections, while an unpressurized sub-floor (Level 0) houses cables and structural anchors.

---

== History ==
Originally constructed as a mining outpost prior to Annuli 3423, the asteroid complex was gradually refitted into a civilian and training hub.
During the early expansions, Prosian engineers stabilized the inner caverns and converted the old fusion pits into a deep-buried power core.
By 3428 – 3430 Annuli, the station had evolved into a thriving commercial and educational center under the joint administration of the [[Prosian Merchant Corps]] and Alliance representatives.

---

== Structure ==
Scavenger Base functions more like a subterranean skyscraper than a ringed habitat.
Artificial gravity runs perpendicular to the asteroid’s axis, giving every floor a “grounded” orientation.
The open Prose-facing wall provides natural light and a constant orbital view—particularly visible from the promenade on Level 5.
Each level serves a distinct purpose, shown below.

== Architectural Characteristics ==
* Carved entirely within an asteroid; outer wall reinforced and open toward Prose for orbital view.
* Artificial gravity perpendicular to the asteroid’s axis; internal orientation mirrors a planetary building.
* Dual lift systems: **passenger lifts** (Levels 1 – 8) and **freight elevators** (Levels 0 – 7).
* Atmospheric shielding along exposed wall enables clear visibility of Prose’s clouds and rivers even during local “night.”
* The base remains a symbol of Prosian ingenuity—turning a former mining scar into a living city between worlds.

---

== Cultural and Strategic Role ==
Scavenger Base functions as both a hub of commerce and a diplomatic meeting point between Prosian and human interests.
The Merchant Corps’ training wing ensures continuity of interstellar trade ethics, while the Alliance annex maintains limited oversight of transit safety and technology exchange.
Stories such as ''[[Citizen Sariel]]'' and ''[[The Healing Stars]]'' feature scenes set within its promenade and Operations viewport, emphasizing its role as a crossroads of culture and command.
