Skyler Base: A new series

Skyler Base, located on the moon Dara, is the main focus of the action in Rome's Revolution. The base, also called a starbase (since it was created as a stellar observatory), sits on a moon orbiting Skyler's World (originally called Schuyler's World) which in turns orbits Tabit. I pretended that Rei called it Pi3 Orionis but in Rome's Evolution, we find out Rei does call it Tabit as well.

The base was built from the ground up using a combination of aerogel generators as well as the molecular synthesizers augmented by equipment and supplies transported there aboard the Algol. Here is a picture of the base (you can click on the image to see a much larger copy):

The base is strictly utilitarian and built upon the only design the Vuduri ever use: concentric circles. It would never occur to them to deviate from that plan although the Vuduri on Deucado build Vuduri City resembling a Star of David in The Ark Lords. We also learned that the Vuduri on Helome deviated from the plan slightly but not in any significant way.

In this series, I will review the features of the base that may or may not have been explained or even introduced in the current version of Rome's Revolution.
