- Intent: Create a medical training facility

- Canon: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: NSLR
- Structure Name: Silver Dawn Medical Center
- Classification: Hospital
- Location: New Alula City, Qena System
- Affiliation: NSLR
- Accessibility: A large building in the middle of a city, freely accessible to all.
- Description: A spacescraper located in New Alula City, which appears dark to visual observation. This colouration is due to thermally absorbent exterior with photovoltaic cells on the outer sides. These absorb excessive external radiation which might interfere with medical equipment as well as generating some power for the facility.
Medical Academy - A galactic standard university which takes up several floors of the building. Accomodations for students as well as teaching and recreation areas are also located among the larger lecture halls and laboratories. Located above but also integrated with the large hospital, the students learning environment provides them each with every day real-world medical experience.
Hospital - A very large and well equipped medical facility with thousands of medical beds arrayed efficiently across dozens of floors. There are specific decontamination and intensive care units, as well as triage centers and rehabilitation facilities. A large and expansive canteen feeds the thousands of medics and staff. There are also staff break and bunk rooms and maintenance and custodial facilities. The lowest levels are storage and disposal areas. The hospital has its own hangar and ambulance recieiving bays.
Research Center - A state of the art biological and medical research facility which is equipped with the very latest in medical technology and employs some very bright medical minds. Many of the senior staff here also teach at the Academy. Research is conducted on the cutting edge of understanding, supporting both the hospital and academy, as well as the Qenan people. Also located here at the very top of the spacescraper are several restricted-access landing pads.
SECURITY
None
The building is a civilian one, and relies on the city police force for protection and security.
Nothing more robust than locked doors and nurses with stun sprays.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Constructed to be a fully functional state of the art medical facility with ten thousand beds, the medcenter is also the main training base for NSLR medics and doctors with a fully equipped academy on site. This provides new trainee medicos with supervised patient contact. The Center accepts recruits from across the galaxy and provides them with the very best of training and experience.
The floors have open layouts around a central turbolift core which runs the entire height of the building. The basement floors contain storage areas filled with supplies which can sustain the facility's operation for months. Lower floors contain maintenance and custodial facilities, as well as habitation. The central floors are the hospital and the uppermost floors contain the in house school and lecture halls. The final areas to be completed, located at the top of the tower are the research facilities.
The facility began as an NSLR medical depot when the Remnants came to Qena to assist in the curing of a virulent plague. The success in that mission of mercy led to friendship with the system, and the subsequent funding of a large investment into medical research and care.
Expanding the makeshift hospital into what would become Silver Dawn was the Qenans gift to the Remnants, but they were soon repaid in full. Even before the entire building was completed, copies of the hospital facility were built on nearby Qena Prime, serving the care of the billions of inhabitants. Those differ in that they are full care facilities, and do not replicate the research and teaching academy at the Silver Dawn.
In the modern day, the SDMC trains a new generation of medics, nurses and doctors, and develops new professors and research technicians. It also pushes back against the unknown in the fields of life and healing, always seeking to improve medical and scientific understanding.
