Kadesh Orbital City, originally known as Kadesh Orbital Colony, was established in 828 A.S. in Palmyra orbit as a modular station as a temporary shelter for Phoenix Zoners per return from the Great Voyage, but by 830 A.S. it was apparent that the station could no longer handle the increased workload, and the location was favorable for trade and safe enough to invest funds and resources for a larger project. The question of expanding the station became an urgent one, but the off-the-shelf modular offerings on the market did not fit the specific criteria of base needs in the remote world.
Taking advantage of connections with corporations in core worlds, Phoenix acquired the most appropriate station design blueprints known to the Sirius as Zeus type from Deep Space Engineering and finalized the ready-made design together with Daumann Heavy Construction, taking into account its all settlers and corefleet needs. Construction boiled over and multiple transport ships from Rheinland and Gallia began arriving at the construction site to ship all the necessary goods. While the new station was under construction, the old modular station was used as a warehouse and to ensure the safety of the construction site and all defensive-capable ships were stationed at the station to protect it in the vulnerable period.
As of 832 A.S, per finishing off core works and establishing new Kadesh Orbital City, for now it provides like core worlds comfort to its residents and safe environment. Kadesh has become a remarkable spot in a remote region, serving its original purpose for its settlers, acting as freeport for lone strangers and allies and as attraction for tourists all around Sirius and Gallia, serving like a true city-of-paradise in those edge world badlands.
In light of recent events - the siege of the city by the Nomads and their minions and the Freeport 9 crisis caused by the aggressive expansion of the Corsairs serious measures have been taken into account. Earlier homeships were moored to the station and were used as housing modules, now almost the entire population of homeships has descended to the deck of Kadesh Orbital City and each of the Nephilim class ships can be used in open combat. And due to the aggression of the Corsairs and the unhealed wounds from the Gran Canaria annexation and the current situation with Erie, analysts agreed that many Zoners would consider Kadesh Orbital City a safe haven.
Thus the Orontes planet-side colony project was lifted from the archives, as Kadesh was built for a reason, orbiting the planet Palmyra. The planet had previously been scanned for an atmosphere, a core, and various metals in its interior. But due to the high cost of building Kadesh Orbital City as Zeus type, it is not considered as affordable in the foreseeable future at its best.
Notice to space farers: You will be obligated to stay on quarantine for several hours after dock. Your ship and pilot(crew) will be scanned and inspected on the launch pad.

Greetings, I would like to have a clearance to land on your installation and to bring a first shipment of 4970 Nanomembrane Filters that coming all the way from Hudson as a sign of good faith. My ships is ZBT-1002 "Whale" Zoner Transport, callsign "Hatikvah", with obvious Zoner IFF installed on it. There is also a guy among my crew who is eager to join your cause. His message will follow right after this one is sent, into your application channel.
I glad to see a fellow Zoner come all way long to our colony though the path full of dangers.
You are cleared for mooring protocols on the Kadesh. Make sure that your crew and ship is prepared for inspection though.
At this moment we are on hold of ongoing constructions, but we will find usage for Nanomembrane Filters in closest future. Please hold on for drop-off, until our storage will be sorted for new arrival and provide on this channel additional information for an extra payment.

Hail, Phoenix & Kadesh Orbital Colony.
My name is Leon, and I command the Bustard known as the NX-01. I'm a Starflier who likes to gain rift data for his own use. However, since some groups use Jump technology, I am also contracted to get rift data for clients too. During my travels through the Omicrons, I was surprised by the sheer sight of your flagship, the (\^/)Hyperion. We had a good chat with Burton, the Captain of this vessel, extended an offer to allow me to land on your installation in Zeta. I'll send my vessel's info below, aswell as my black box data of our conversation. This wasn't a one way conversation, as I also extended my services to Phoenix, by getting you rift data. Whoever responds to this transmission will find a message sent to their personal terminal with this data, as a show of good faith towards your group, from the Starfliers. . .
[25.05.2021 11:56:45] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: What in the...
[25.05.2021 11:57:30] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hail, Zon- Warship?!
[25.05.2021 11:58:49] '\S/'NX-01: Albert: No response. Scanners show their systems are green.
[25.05.2021 11:59:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So... not hostile, and not needing help either...
[25.05.2021 11:59:36] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Good day.
[25.05.2021 11:59:48] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Ah, someone!
[25.05.2021 11:59:59] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Excume me for late respose, we were busy with rebooting sensors arrays.
[25.05.2021 12:00:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That is one gigantic ship...
[25.05.2021 12:00:22] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Oh yeah, pride of the Phoenix industries.
[25.05.2021 12:00:23] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Yeah, uhh, you're excused. Not a problem there.
[25.05.2021 12:00:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Phoenix? So that's what that logo is, painted on your hull.
[25.05.2021 12:00:53] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: What about you, never seen such name before in the Omicrons.
[25.05.2021 12:01:13] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Yeah
[25.05.2021 12:01:16] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That makes two of us.
[25.05.2021 12:01:41] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: How about we go to the Freeport, we can chat there. Sound good?
[25.05.2021 12:02:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I've had a bad experience in this system, don't want to relive it.
[25.05.2021 12:02:12] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Yeah sure, we were en route from the Kadesh to Livadia anyway
[25.05.2021 12:02:27] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: After you, Phoenix.
[25.05.2021 12:02:34] Death: Taurus|CNS-Kolkan was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[25.05.2021 12:02:40] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Well, Zeta has become our home system. So you shouldn't be worried much.
[25.05.2021 12:02:45] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Roger.
[25.05.2021 12:03:45] Rules Tip: This is a roleplay server, so keep your ship's name in line with the setting. Do not use references to pop-culture such as memes or distasteful subjects.
[25.05.2021 12:03:54] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I've seen the Liberty Carriers... but never something this big.
[25.05.2021 12:04:37] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Sometime size of the ship is compare to its firepower... You have to be well armed in such places like deer Omicrons.
[25.05.2021 12:05:00] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: We have colony in the Zeta so we patroling this area 24/7.
[25.05.2021 12:05:05] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Well armed... *chuckles* I make it a point to not arm myself.
[25.05.2021 12:05:50] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Oh, are you defenseless? You are a brave or crazy man.
[25.05.2021 12:06:09] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Perhaps a mix of both.
[25.05.2021 12:06:18] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Let me introduce myself.
[25.05.2021 12:06:35] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: My name is Leon, I command this Bustard known oas the NX-01.
[25.05.2021 12:06:49] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: *laughs* Actually that's why we are using the Whales transports quite rare in deep Omicrons. Easy target for the aliens
[25.05.2021 12:06:59] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: To my left, we got Scotty, he deals with our jump and survey hardware.
[25.05.2021 12:07:14] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: To my right, we got Albert, deals with science and comms.
[25.05.2021 12:07:25] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Nice to meet you, my name is Christian Burton, I'm in command of this flagship and by the way represent Phoenix group
[25.05.2021 12:07:42] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: May I call you Burton?
[25.05.2021 12:07:55] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: No problem
[25.05.2021 12:08:30] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: What I do is work for groups in gaining rift data. We're called the Starfliers.
[25.05.2021 12:08:56] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: A little project of mine. So we're not very well known.
[25.05.2021 12:09:24] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Interesting. Well, there should plenty of work for you in the Omicrons then.
[25.05.2021 12:09:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Not as much as you think...
[25.05.2021 12:10:16] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: This vessel is capable of cloaking, riftjumping and surveying sectors... no one wants to hire someone to get rift data
[25.05.2021 12:10:26] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: But you should think about your security, flying defenseless here is may end as one-side trip.
[25.05.2021 12:10:51] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You're right. Have you seen a place called the Hammen Hole?
[25.05.2021 12:11:10] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: I don't think so. Where is that?
[25.05.2021 12:11:44] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: In the Omega systems.
[25.05.2021 12:12:11] '\S/'NX-01: I once blind jumped a few years ago for the hell of it. Ended up in that mass graveyard.
[25.05.2021 12:12:29] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Its been a while since I've visited the Omegas
[25.05.2021 12:12:44] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That place left a very grim impression on a young mind.
[25.05.2021 12:13:04] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So I vowed to never arm myself, to kill others.
[25.05.2021 12:13:04] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: What ship types were?
[25.05.2021 12:13:26] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It was a battlefield between.. uhh..
[25.05.2021 12:13:40] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Corsairs I think, and I don't remember the other group.
[25.05.2021 12:14:11] Death: Sniffer.Raider was put out of action by 5th|Ingrid.Harvey (Gun).
[25.05.2021 12:14:34] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So instead of focusing on offensive defense, I focused on my current measures.
[25.05.2021 12:14:35] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Oh, I see. Well, the Omegas has become a graveyard for many people. Lots of faction with different view and own goals.
[25.05.2021 12:15:15] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's more of a reason - for me - to not carry weapons.
[25.05.2021 12:15:16] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Well the thing about Omicrons, unlike Omegas - your opponent wouldn't listen to you before open the fire.
[25.05.2021 12:15:53] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Yeah, I mentioned a bad experience in Zeta, that was because of /them/
[25.05.2021 12:15:55] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: And cloak can be disrupted by them any time, they posses this technology aswell
[25.05.2021 12:16:18] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: I see. Well, there could be a safe spot for you in Zeta.
[25.05.2021 12:16:34] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Kadesh Orbital Colony, in orbit of planet Palmyra.
[25.05.2021 12:16:40] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That would put me at ease next time I fly by there.
[25.05.2021 12:17:00] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Palmyra... next to the small battlefield?
[25.05.2021 12:17:03] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: You could request an access on the neural net and use it as re supply point anytime.
[25.05.2021 12:17:16] Death: Sniffer.Raider was put out of action by 5th|Ingrid.Harvey (Gun).
[25.05.2021 12:17:43] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I may do that, thank you.
[25.05.2021 12:17:47] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Yes. Currently we're in progress of base expand program... Next stage would be on surface settlement. If everything
[25.05.2021 12:17:54] (\^/)Hyperion: will go according to the plan.
[25.05.2021 12:18:03] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: You welcome.
[25.05.2021 12:18:06] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You're planning on terraforming?
[25.05.2021 12:18:23] (\^/)Hyperion: //just in case kadesh thread in phoenix subforum
[25.05.2021 12:18:38] '\S/'NX-01: // thanks for that
[25.05.2021 12:18:47] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Well, first of all we have to establish our presence on the surface. So...
[25.05.2021 12:18:53] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: And I thought my goals were high, holy hell.
[25.05.2021 12:18:58] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Most likely underground settlement.
[25.05.2021 12:19:25] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Sounds like a lot of work. Godspeed on your efforts, Burton.
[25.05.2021 12:19:39] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: We have to counter alien plans. They may bomb us. The perimeter around the planet is not secured enough yet.
[25.05.2021 12:19:59] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Thank you, you too.
[25.05.2021 12:20:13] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Taurus... hello.
[25.05.2021 12:20:21] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Good day.
[25.05.2021 12:20:24] Taurus|CNS-Naxos: K:Hola
[25.05.2021 12:20:24] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So I gotta ask, you wouldn't be in need of rift data?
[25.05.2021 12:20:47] Death: 5th|Ingrid.Harvey suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[25.05.2021 12:20:47] 2021-05-25 12:20:48 SMT Traffic control alert: Taurus|CNS-Naxos has requested to dock
[25.05.2021 12:21:03] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Hey, Taurus, hold up a moment.
[25.05.2021 12:21:03] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Actually the coordinates of Kadesh Orbital Colony might be useful for us.
[25.05.2021 12:21:23] Taurus|CNS-Naxos: K:What can i make for you?
[25.05.2021 12:21:27] Death: [Hunter]Charlie.Jukins was put out of action by Sniffer.Raider (Gun).
[25.05.2021 12:21:48] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I can definetly do that for you, Burton. As a show of good faith, I'll hand the data over when I request access to Kad
[25.05.2021 12:21:52] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Sure, you can also take Livadia and Pygar planet.
[25.05.2021 12:22:04] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Excellent. Deal.
[25.05.2021 12:22:12] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I'll talk to you further on the neural net.
[25.05.2021 12:22:16] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Your work will be paid regardless.
[25.05.2021 12:22:22] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: for now, I got a bone to pick with Taurus..
[25.05.2021 12:22:39] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Sure. Now excuse me, i have to moor on the Freeport. Daily errands call...
[25.05.2021 12:22:44] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Godspeed, Burton.
[25.05.2021 12:23:00] (\^/)Hyperion: Burton: Wish you good day.
[25.05.2021 12:23:03] Taurus|CNS-Naxos: K:Good flight
It was me you’ve spoken with. Although the matter of the talk was your ship being allowed to dock on the Kadesh Orbital Colony, you will find Starflier tagged ships allowed to dock since now. Though I have to mention that every ship that’s going to be moored or docked with Kadesh shall be inspected before by our Security department, recently we’ve noted the growing presence of infectees in this region.
As for services, how much would you charge for the survery? At this moment we are looking to refresh following coordinates:
Kadesh Orbital Colony, Omicron Zeta
Freeport 11 / Athens Station, Omicron Delta
Livadia Shipyard, Omicron Kappa
Pygar planet, Omicron Theta
Rarotonga Dock, Omicron Nu
Oh, by the way, we’re in the process of constructing a new installation in place of the current modular station and we’re in need of an immense amount of commodities. You are invited to following broadcast.

Hail, Christian Burton. Good to meet you over the comms. Would very much like to see your ship again... it was beautiful.
I thank you for taking your time to allow the Starfliers to dock on your installation within the Omicron Zeta System. We agree to have a full top to bottom superficial, biological and electronic scan by your teams at every visit, as per your mention. As for your order, it has been completed and packaged on my neural net. YOu'll find attached to this transmission an invoice for our work. I hope you find everything to your satisfaction. Once payment is sent and confirmed, we will send an access link to your personal terminal. . .
With recent ongoing research on Corinth Annex, Phoenix made the decision that would benefit everyone - Kadesh Orbital Colony now has available decks for public usage.
Here you and your crew can take the rest, and use our storages as temporary drop-off points for Alien Organisms. Due to high demand on the Corinth the price is set for selling and buying is 2.500 Sirian Credits per unit.
Please take the note that your ship and crew can be inspected per completion of docking with the station.
