Vigil Station

Alliance Waystation 06, known more commonly as **Vigil Station** or simply the *Vigil*, is an *Ingle*-class Elvaan space station serving as a port, Alliance center, and security checkpoint. It serves as a base of operations for the Alliance in the Nilharu system near the Gate, where the Illimari keep watch against Reach incursion. Orbiting the planet Najarro, the Vigil stands as a checkpoint to and from the planet to help protect the Najarrons' cultural identity and safety from foreign threats while Najarrons seeking to leave the planet may get supplies and fuel from the *Vigil*.

## Layout

As an *Ingle*-class Elvaan station, the *Vigil* is made up of reinforced Kedrite and powered by Luvìan-3 which gives the station's external heat vents a blue glow. The station's center is spherical with an outer docking ring connected by docking clamps and rail jets.

### Command Deck

The Command deck is a circular level ringed around an elevated office where the station commander works.

### Esplanade

The Esplanade is the upper section of floors of the station's central axis where most businesses can be found and services offered. The Esplanade is made up of over thirteen rings spanning the entire central access, with several miles of each ring allowing many businesses, establishments, and forums to flourish. Such things cater to everything from food and entertainment to schooling and healthcare.

#### Orica

A Vilor restaurant with massive aquariums housing fish straight from Ileos, Orica is said to be one of the finest and highest-end places to eat on the station. Their choices of fish, salad, pesklat, soups, and pastas are enough to make it one of the first stops for anyone visiting the station. A trained Vilor Shapai will even cook meals in elaborate and entertaining fashions for an extra fee, twirling his blades along his hands as he works the grills.

#### Salon Blu

One of the few hair salons on the station, Salon Blue caters to many different hair textures from different races and cultures. They are notable for being the only licensed salon on the station to be able to dye and bleach hairs.

#### Arcane Affinity

Located on the second level of the Esplanade, the Arcane Affinity is a shop owned and managed by Enchanter Taliesian Sura and Artificer Anazuran Kaval, a powerful spellcaster and enchanter who once studied under the Arcanus Enclave. While Taliesian, a laid-back Ofari, handles the business side of the store alongside his mechanical simulacrums, while the more stern and work-driven Kaval ensures products are made to satisfaction and orders are met. The store sells a variety of enchanted wares, arcane goods, and enchanting services. Licensed, independent mages and those serving under the Enclave alike can enjoy the services and goods offered by the Arcane Affinity, though the latter is offered a discount as their organization is tied to the business.

### Arcanorium

The designated Arcanorium is a tower built above the the station's arboretum on the laboratory level. An elevator leads up to the Arcanorium itself where the station's designated Magus lives and works. The elevator opens to a vestibule that leads up into the Magus' library and adjacent laboratory via a spiral staircase. The vestibule has a small library wing and a kitchen, bathroom, and dining area. Above the first floor is Irindal's living quarters and a guest space for any apprentice or assistant he may have, his main library, laboratory, and a phylactorium.

### Engineering

The Engineering hub lies in the ventral spar of the station, connected to the main generators and with computer access to all systems and subsystems. With a network of engineering pipelines built throughout the station, engineers may be able to work within the infrastructure of the station itself while civilians bustle about outside in the halls, unaware of the near constant maintenance work done to maintain the station.
