Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

Capital city of Eridani Prime

Here is a picture of New Eden, the capital city of Eridani Prime:


The planet was settled soon after the advent of anti-gravity, so the capital city was built as a self-sustaining arcology utilizing the new design techniques available to house the colonists until enough other cities could be built to accommodate the massive immigration from Earth. Now that a number of centuries have gone by since first landing, many people have moved out to other cities. However, a quarter of the planet's more than 400,000,000 population still reside within the city, since many are content with the progressive living conditions in this comfortable, cultured, and beautiful city.

The city is located near the equator close to one of the few land-locked seas; the regulation of the canal system of the planet is conducted from this city through the Department of Ecology & Resources. The Technocratic Council Meets here and rules from here.

Station 7, 600dt Fuel refinery station at outer Gas giant in Epsilon Eridani system

This station is civilian built and maintained to service freighters only wanting to jump into the outer system to exchange modules or vessels. However, until construction is complete on Station 9 (a much larger fuel and manufacturing center), Eridani System Defense command considers this a military asset in time of emergency. As long as your business is legal and peaceable, this is a safe port in the outer system. 

It is an open secret that a system defense boat is lurking in the gas giant below, however what is not as well known is that a meson gun emplacement has been built deep in thick atmosphere of the planet below under the cover of the cost/time over-runs with Station 9's construction.
