TRS Rome

TRS Rome was a Watchtower-type Outpost above the Terran planet Caramenujor II, run by Commander Matt Freeman of Trident Industries. It was scuttled by Freeman in August 2313, during the Antzakes War, and it's remains still litter the planet's surface.
== Description ==
TRS Rome resembled the stock Watchtower-type of the mid-2313 era. Built in May of that year, TRS Rome's primary assignment was to watch over the resupply base on the planet below, with a secondary assignment of acting as a communications relay thanks to it's powerful HoloWave transceiver array. An additional HoloWave transmitter satellite was also put in orbit on the far side of the planet, close to the resupply settlement, to assist with HoloWave transmission when the base was set to alert mode, which disabled all but one of the station's transceivers. 
Using it's massive multispectral sensor dish, it could see incoming threats up to three sectors away from itself. 
It was armed with six energy beam turrets for anti-pirate defence, but could not repel an organised attack effectively.
== History ==
=== 2313 ===
TRS Rome was constructed after a lengthy planning period in May. There were many considerations of where to put the next link in the communications chain, but Mr Crazy settled on putting it above the undeveloped Terran planet Caramenujor II, in the Cara system, due to it's close proximity to several nonaligned factions' systems.
A resupply base was quickly constructed on the planet's surface, to provide both raw material and foodstuffs for the new outpost.
Later in June, the starbase TRS Starbound was finally completed after several delays, and TRS Rome's communications network was hooked up to Starbound's powerful transceiver arrays.
During the Battle of Caramenujor in early August, station commander Freeman, after detecting boarding parties from Antzakes' militia in Deck 2, decided to send the station crashing down into the planet below instead of yielding it to the rebels. This broke the communications link between the outposts and disrupted the rebels' already seized bases from communicating effectively with each other. The crew evacuated onto the docked Hyperion; however Freeman decided to stay behind.
