Nova Arcis station in the year 3024

[you are in the year 3024 on ‘Nova Arcis’ Space-Station in the Kuiper-Belt of the solar-sun plane. (Quite near to Earth)] It is an old station, still thriving, with a lot of history, like the first Proxima settlers left from here. It has strong bounds to Proxima, the “Amara” planet and the Varna-station. Being old it means it also is large with 2-5 million inhabitants. A large urban complex with interstellar ship yards, docks for the solar-plane, the local space, and interstellar travel, commodities for tourism and a local recycling and food industry. A tube system with around 16-20 tube-lines serves to fulfil station wide transportation needs round the clock. It has an artificial sun, public parks, a botanical garden, school, hospitals, universities. [Imagine a full-fletched city] The headquarter of OCN is located here. AI.tec has an quantum-IAI installation at the station. Many companies from the solar plane (Earth, Orbit, Moon, Mars, Asteroid Belt, Jupiter & Saturn Moons) have dependencies here, but also from the inner solar-systems. The station is part of the “credits”-infrastructure. The main export though is media. It is an interstellar media hub. Life on ‘Nova Arcis’ is comfortable. Public welfare is fully established, the low income rate is below 1%, mid-income rates are about 40%, high-income 50%, the average income rate is above the average-rate for the solar-plane, the inner & outer star systems. The ‘Nova Arcis’-conglomerate is an independed entity, - “state”, though this concept is not understood in the year 3024 - of around 120 - 130 million people, plus full-rights-embodiments like some AI-robots. Political it is more associated with Proxima “Amara” and the Oort-Cloud-Regions than with the solar-sun-plane, though being astro-graphically located in the solar-sun-plane. ITT-hubs are not installed in ‘Nova Arcis’, because obviously this wouldn’t make sense without the direct presence of a larger planetary object like Earth or Mars.

history

(2305) founded, to be the key anchor point for the further exploration of the Oort-Cloud and beyond. (2372) the builds the first of three interplanetary sub-FTL ships for missions to Proxima B (Amara) left to Oort-Main-Station. Two more sub-FLT colony ships followed. Several others while still in build had been updated to FLT. Others fulfilled the purpose the colonized the solar-plane instead. (2389) the first experimental FLT-flight left Oort-main-station to Proxima B and returned to here (2398) (2398) the crew was ‘Geen Grissom’, ‘Paula Chaffee’, ‘Armster Neil’ and ‘Nova Young’ on broad of the Chop Hop Voyager, a CHV-Vessel, returns from Proxima Centauri. (2601) OCN headquarters moved from Earth/Earth-Orbit to ‘Nova Arcis’ (3024) Nova Arcis hosts the live stream of the GBB-time introduction
