- Space Station Name: Redmane Initiative Station
- Station Model: Cardan V-Class Space Station
- Classification: Multirole Civilian Station
- Location:
- Affiliation:
- Silver Shield Group
- Planetary Governments (de jure), Hutt Space Consortium (de facto)
- Population: Moderately Staffed
- Demographics: 27% Human, 8% Near-Human, 49% Hutt Space Species, 16% Scar Worlds Species
- Accessibility:
Redmane Initiative Stations were open to the public. Anyone could dock and visit, provided the relevant fees were paid. Some areas, such as the Redmane Quarter and Silver Quarter, were not publicly accessible and required clearance from the station administrators to enter.
- Traffic: Moderate
- Description:
Redmane Initiative Stations were the result of a partnership between the Silver Shield Group and select planetary governments, initially with the aim of eradicating Bryn'adul remnants and holdouts. Over time, the scope of the project increased, and the stations were expanded to accommodate a broader range of economic activities to help participating planets rebuild their economies. Known partners of the Silver Shield Group, the First Bank of Procopia and Azimuth Industries, used the stations as outposts to conduct business.
Seedier elements in the form of the Bareesh Kajidic and the Jade Triad also came to operate on Redmane Stations, usually in the form of scrapyards and warehouses, respectively.
Each station was built from a standard, refurbished Cardan V. These had been reconfigured for civilian use, being more lightly armed, requiring a smaller complement, and capable of housing a larger population.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Silver Quarter: Cordoned off specifically for the Silver Shield Group employees and subcontractors. The Silver Shield Group oversaw all station activities from this quarter. All personnel who worked within the Silver Quarter were required to reside within it. Access was restricted.
Facilities: Administrative offices, research facilities, data vaults, communications hubs, apartments, etc.
Commercial Quarter: A broad range of business outlets were found here, as well as administrative offices for a variety of the Redmane Initiative's civilian activities. Most of the station's permanent residents lived here.
Facilities: Warehouses, retail outlets, bazaars, hangar bays, customs offices, manufacturers, clinics, immigration offices, apartments, etc.
Recreation Quarter: Luxury and entertainment spaces dominated the Recreation Quarter. Some of the station's permanent residents lived here.
Facilities: Restaurants, casinos, clubs, spice dens, apartments, etc.
Redmane Quarter: The military aspects of the Redmane Initiative were carried out in these sections. Militias were trained, armed, coordinated, and deployed from here. Access was restricted.
Facilities: Armories, training facilities, barracks, briefing rooms, mission control centers, communications hubs, etc
SECURITY
High. Activities on the Commercial and Recreation Bands were tightly regulated. Each quarter was equipped with a deployment station for Silver Shield Contractors. Patrols and inspections to ensure compliance with station and planetary ordinances were frequent.
Of course, "compliance" is an ephemeral thing in Hutt Space. Many activities considered "criminal" elsewhere were often overlooked by the Silver Shield Group. Arrangements were often made between planetary officials and criminal groups to keep the peace. Only authorized personnel were able to access the Silver and Redmane quarters.
Installed security measures included: DynaSec Internal Security Camera, DynaSec Togawa Intruder Detector, DynaSec Mitsuama Security Turret, Kakine Electron Wall, Ironmaze Threat-Prevention Suite.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Redmane Initiative was a coordinated effort between the Silver Shield Group and several local governments to neutralize the lingering Bryn'adul holdouts in their systems. To facilitate these activities, four abandoned Cardan V-class space stations were refurbished and placed in orbit of participating planets.
Though initially built to arm, train, and coordinate militias, the scope of the Initiative eventually broadened to economic reconstruction and refugee processing. Immigrants from devastated or destabilized worlds would be given assistance by the Initiative, directing them to the Galactic Alliance or Commerce Guild-owned territories.
Initiative stations were further configured into shipping hubs for the destitute planets they orbited, helping to facilitate safe and secure commerce where it would otherwise be impossible.
The encroaching influence of the Hutt Space Consortium, however, ultimately meant the Silver Shield Group spent more time interacting with crime syndicates than state actors. A small price to pay in pursuit of a galaxy with fewer Bryn'adul.
