The stench of a hundred alien species living in tight quarters fills the dilapidated spaceport. Life here is tough, every day someone is killed or injured, whether by accident or on purpose is hard to tell. From a few old locals you’ve learned that the Rock was settled long ago, maybe by the Duros who first discovered hyperspace, or maybe by some long lost species. Ever since then someone has called this place home, but it seems these days that the scum of the galaxy prefer this shit-hole. The Rock was used during the Clone Wars briefly but later abandoned, only the rats remained.
You remember your starship was attacked by pirates and forced to flee into the Minefield, ion cannons disabled the engines leaving the starship adrift in the astroid field. You managed to board an escape-pod before witnessing the destruction of the star shuttle by an asteroid collision. Later, you and several other survivors were taken back to the Rock. A well dressed Kel-Dor named Holon Veil welcomed you and the survivors. You were given a brief tour of the facility and shown to communal quarters for the time being.
The Rock is roughly 16 kilometers long by 8 kilometers wide. Most of the spaceport rings the inner perimeter of a massive crater 1 kilometer in diameter. Various starships and materials were used to create living quarters and other sections needed to operate the spaceport. The Rock may have been a nice place once but now more resembles a junkyard hobbled together. Within the center of the crater is the main control tower and docking port, where starships can safely enter a large landing bay protected by an energy shield. Below ground, a sprawling tunnel network connects the control tower to the rest of the spaceport that rings the crater.
There are a few daily routines that happen here. The spaceport operates a small fleet of tugs to push away incoming asteroids. A few tugs and space-worthy ships will leave on extended trips to scavenge the myriad of wreckages within the Minefield. Laborers will seek employment in the mines to carve out more sections of the Rock and mine for minerals. Thugs collect fees from small businesses for protection. The cantina operates around the clock and offers a wide array of entertainments, including illegal but profitable death fights. The main landing bay is always busy repairing or modifying starships and processing the days collection of useful parts from the tug ships.
