The Onboarding Facility
Small orbital station where crawlers onboard and where the Homecoming Queen docks to load returning soldiers.
Story so far
A message crosses York's screen: he has soldiers to load, they have arrived at the onboarding facility, and docking procedures are incoming. The station's docking computer feeds the Homecoming Queen her vectors, and the behemoth shudders as her orbital positioning engines rumble to life.
It is the same kind of facility through which the veterans onboarded into Faction Wars, leaving York alone with the ship. As the Queen drifts toward it he writes a new poem about hidden danger presenting itself just when people think they are safe, then takes Boomer's call.
Appearance
A small orbital facility with its own docking computer, dwarfed by the behemoth easing toward it.
