To design a worldwide tra nsportation network of 50 hubs in major cities (not necessarily capitals), the selection prioritizes geographic coverage, economic significance, infrastructure, connectivity, and security. Below is a curated list, drawing on principles from hub location optimization [[1]][[2]][[10]] and addressing challenges like security [[3]] and regional needs [[4]]:

On The hand this list reflects the political and social inconsistency of the StellarLink company, on the other the small influence of Darius Voss: Hamburg, Mumbai are the first cities connected, Maputo is also on the list(Surgenia Miller’s birthplace) as number 20, before Cape Town, leaving Johannesburg unconnected (Mego Reveers birthplace).

Key Considerations

• Security: Prioritized cities with robust infrastructure to mitigate cyber/terror risks [[3]].
• Connectivity: Hubs align with existing airline alliances (e.g., Star Alliance, Oneworld) and maritime routes.
• Regional Balance: Ensures coverage across continents while avoiding over-concentration in any single area.

This network leverages existing infrastructure [[6]][[7]] and addresses challenges like global uncertainty [[9]] through strategic redundancy and adaptability.
