- Oxygen System is spread through the sphere by sectors and do not operate at all times, but only when it is known that visitors will be arriving.
- The Hangar is the dockyard and can hold many ships, provided that they are small to tiny. Nothing above 20 meters may park here.
- Main control room situated in the "crust" - the 1 kilometer between the outer shell and the inside, which is often set aside in these spheres for control room and other tech purposes.
- There are no "discs" in this sphere, but unless tunnels of stairs, elevators, and roads. It is a massive construct with walls that separate sections in strange ways, turning the entire sphere into a 54^3 km large maze.
- Multiple tunnels that will connect other spheres to this one via tunnels.
- The sphere is separated; inside of is another sphere with a 54 kilometer diameter, leaving one kilometer of "empty space" in which various remote control stations can be found.
- Many of the levels beneath the bottom disc and the top disc include tunnels and caverns, and are not meant for civilians to enter.
- Incredibly compact as it was built to serve as a giant graveyard.
- Defensive Shields:
- PDLS - Targets starfighters and missiles.
- Phalanx Testudo - Small overlapping shield generators that guard against energy weapons.
- Aegis II Anti Concussion Field Generator - Defense against physical and kinetic threats.
- Phalanx Class Shield System - Small ship swarm attacks protection.
- Aspis Class Shield System - Particle and ray shield.
- The station offers very limited ways in which it can defend itself, namely the hull, shields, and point-defense laser system. No assault weapons means it can't shoot at any potential dangers or aggressors.
When one builds a new space construct that is large enough to hold populations that can give planets a run for their money, one must think about many different things. How is that population to bed? How will they provide the population with utilities? What is the correct balance for law enforcement officers compared to the number of people living there? There are, of course, many more questions to ask, but at one point, the questions will center around the subject of death.
People die. Whether they are human, reptilian, avian, short lived, long lived, or anything else, a time comes when their lives must end. This is a completely normal part of life, and it carries with it significances that vary based on species, culture, and geographical locations.
It is with the need to answer that demand, that the Hassof sphere was created. A huge sphere by any standard, that is meant not for the living, but for the dead. To avoid a situation in which half the spheres (or more) end up filling with bodies over the generations, the administration of Scintilla commissioned a sphere that would be used as a graveyard.
Different sectors exist within the sphere, built with respect to different burial requirements of different religions, beliefs, and customs, as well as a default option for those who don't care and thus are buried simply, but the cover to the capsule their body is in is kept clean at all times, and is always in order.
The sphere is currently mostly empty, and it everyone's hope that it would take centuries to fill it up with the Scintilla's dead.
