Star Ports
High Port
High Port is main trading hub, a ring shaped station with artificial gravity about 500m across. Gardens and population (about 50,000) around the outer edge. Ships dock on the outside.
Down Port
Sprawling port city with a population of about 200,000. Good transport links with the capital 20km away, which has a population of 3 million. Lots of good quality hotels and entertainment establishments.
Lots of people from different nations here.
Sochi City
Class G spaceport.
Sochi City is on Sochi 2, the 2nd moon of the gas giant Sochi, it has a population of 35,000. The moon is about 5,000km in diameter, with a rock/ice surface and subsurface oceans. It is mostly grey/white, with blue/white on the glacial plains which are relatively recent. It is tidally locked to the main world.
The city is built into a 1km wide crater just north of the equator, and has a glorious view of the rings. Several domed landing bays, connected by tunnels with tall towers sealed against the vacuum. The towers are several hundred metres tall, and very thin - the low gravity makes that possible - with twisting outer tubes where the not so poor live.
