Nintaku Trade Star

The first Trade Star ever built by the insectoid Nitaaru, it is also the largest of its kind. Constantly being improved and added upon, the station is now a massive conglomerate of individual modules, with its largest dimension exceeding 9 kilometres. While interplanetary trade and transport play an important role, the stations main purpose is the handling of interstellar business. Every major trade route in and out of Ardustaar passes by Nintaku sooner or later, as well as many of the most important passenger lines. Aside from repair, maintenance and resupply services, visitors can find representatives of countless corporations onboard the station, and the Nitaaru offer assistance for traders interested in dealings across the Dominion or with the Nitaaru themselves.

The station offers docking capabilities up to capital ship size, and even some supercapital vessels. However, due to traffic constraints, such ships are normally cleared to a holding position clear of the station and offered ferry services. In specific cases - such as with exceptionally large bulk freighters unloading cargo - limited docking times are available with prior coordination.
