About The Superhub

Traffic congestion in the Ooniverse is growing and while the stations are getting more advanced the market asked for a more radical solution. This solution comes in the form of the GASEC Superhub. The GASEC Superhub is the first station that is capable of transporting itself to its destination, two engine bays allow the GASEC SR-GD-S (Space Rotary Galactic Drive S) to be fitted. At the destination these engines can be taken out for re-use in other transport missions.

NB: flying or transport of the station is not featured in the OXP.

Safer to dock

Problem of the older stations was that docking always was dangerous, especially in larger freighters. How many times we have witnessed the sad sight of an exploding workers commuter? The superhub is accommodated for larger ships. Just fly into the blue orb and docking is taken care of. Once inside the orb the ship if transported via a mini-jump to the docking tube and shipyard.

State of the art facilities

A superhub is far more than a space port. It's a modern hospital, office space or even an industrial park. Due to the Flex space (TM) technology Governments can design the superhub to their needs.

It's sturdy

How sturdy? we won't tell. And we don't encourage you to try it.

Habitat rings with a view

Our luxury apartments always have a birds eye view on space. Handy for the commander who can oversee his freight operations from afar. We wish you much pleasure in using our product!
