SINGAPORE STATION
SCHEMATIC
By Deborah Oakes
1. Main Station—In this view, looking down from above, you can view the four interlocking standard atmosphere levels of the station.
2. Main Commercial Docks—One of the newer additions to the station, this structure can dock almost three hundred ships simultaneously. Like all the station's docks, it is an independent structure that maintains a position on the main station and is tied to it only through the monorail and magnetic induction cargo systems.
3. Bulk Cargo Docks—This is the main cargo-sorting dock for the station—cargos can be transshipped here without entering the station.
4. Domestic Cargo Dock—Most cargos intended for consumption on the station enter at this dock.
5. Magnetic Induction Cargo System—All cargo within the station and all cargo transshipped at Singapore Station travels via cargo pods on this transit system.
6. Methane Docks—These two docks service the large ships belonging to the methane breathers.
7. Direct Dock—Methane Habitat—For the comfort and safety of passengers, the newest methane habitat boasts two direct dock ports for passenger ships.
8. Private Docks—As on any station, the wealthy can command private facilities on Singapore Station. This dock services only private vessels.
9. Large Ship Refueling Station—Large ships, mainly freighters, visit this dock only for refueling—no cargo is handled here.
10. Standard Ship Refueling Station—This dock refuels most small-to medium-sized ships.
11. Chlorine Docks—These three docks, cannibalized from three stations with chlorine atmospheres that now form part of the chlorine breathers' Level 6, service the chlorine level directly.
12. Company Docks—These standard atmosphere docks are dedicated to companies that maintain a presence on Singapore Station.
13. Monorail System—The monorail system, built with incredibly tough monofilament, provides the primary transportation and connection between the Main Station and its many outlying docks.
14. Ammonia Dock—This dock is dedicated to the ammonia habitats and is maintained with a basic ammonia atmosphere. Due to the wide variety of ammonia/gas atmospheric mixtures, all ammonia habitats also possess direct docking ports.
15. Level 7 Direct Dock Port—This port is one of four on the airless Level 7. The four independent ports lead to four staging chambers that can be supplied with any atmosphere. Each chamber in turn leads to an airlock, and from there into the main negotiation level.
16. Methane Habitat—This is the newer and larger of the two methane habitats attached to Singapore Station. The direct docking ports for the methane ships are on this habitat.
17. Original Methane Habitat—This is the original methane station attached to Singapore Station. It functions now mainly as a commercial and cargo center, being linked by magnetic induction to the newer methane habitat and by two special docking ports to the ammonia habitats.
18. Airless Level 7—This is the airless negotiation level of the station. It is configured with four independent docks and two direct accesses to the transportation level. All dock accesses have independent staging areas capable of operating at any known atmospheric conditions, linked by airlocks to the main airless negotiation chambers.
19- Ammonia Habitats—The ammonia habitats form Level 8 of Singapore Station. They are linked in chains, to allow transitions in atmosphere composition. They have the most direct links to the methane habitats and have many small ships constantly moving between habitats.
20. Level 6—The interlinked chlorine breathing habitats form Level 6 of Singapore Station. They are identified by their unique, curved architecture.
21. Transportation Level 5—This deck houses the lift shaft, monorail, and cargo systems. All levels have connections to this level. This level grows as Singapore Station adds additional stations to its total tonnage. It can be seen most clearly in the view from below the station, since the nonstandard atmospheric levels are more porous.
22. Lift Shafts—These are the external lift shafts connecting levels to the transportation level. Each standard atmosphere level has additional internal lift shafts.
