Construction of the battlestation was finally completed. It was basically a standard two-ring space station, with a third main ring and a fourth thinner outer ring added, along with a large amount of weaponry, armor, and shielding.
The complete stats were as follows:
Centurion Battlestation Shields - Grid 1: 10,000 Shields - Grid 2: 5,000 Shields - Grid 3: 5,000 Armor - Level 1: 10,000 Armor - Level 2: 5,000 Armor - Level 3: 2,500 Shield Regeneration: 150 Shields (from surge reactors): 7,500 Armament: 160 Proton Turrets 10 Missile Launchers + 100 Missiles 6 Torpedo Launchers + 120 Torpedoes 9 Fighter Bays -120 Stingray Fighters -40 Devil-Ray Bombers
The station was outfitted with three fully-independent shield generators, each supporting their own shield and capable of individual recharging. If one shield grid fails, the next one takes its place while the first grid recharges. Each grid is capable of transferring power to another, and is supporting by special surge reactors to defend against waves of space bombs or suicide freighters, which can dump a total of 7,500 shield points into any of the shield grids within 5 seconds. The shields are also capable of shifting the majority of their strength to areas which are recieving the most amount of punishment. By the time the enemy manages to breach the third shield grid, the first and second grids will already be up to at least 40% intensity.
The station also comes equipped with three different armor layers. The outer armor plating is by far the strongest of the three, and beyond it lies the second, and finally the third layer of armor. A good portion of the station can be blown away and yet still function due to the layout of the shield and power generators.
The stations weaponry is also devastating. Each weapon turret or launcher is full retractable. To deploy them, parts of the armor slide open, revealing the weapons and allowing them to blaze away at the enemy, and then slide back in when needed. It's fighter compliment is also devastating, and the bays are capable of quickly repairing and rearming fighters when they return from the battle.
---------------
OOC: I justify the power of the battlestation due to the long amount of time I spent on it and the amount of credits I pumped into the thing. All the technology and techniques employed in it are completely realistic.
Research on the Hologram Chip was completed, and as a result research on Venom weaponry was speeded up.

To Xenocide: (Encryption: Flutist's folly) My dear "trader" your guild of independent trader's is good for a laugh, but your offer leaves little more to be desired. I believe if your ships take refuge in my system I should require them to act as defence in case of combat. I also demand that I be paid a decent amount for my efforts, not a piddling 10% but a meager 20% even though my tenants may starve. A more profitable arrangement may also come from the explotation of the asteroid resources in my system. If you could produce a mining platform in the Apollo system I would pay 3 Million credits for construction and staff and I would leave you 20% of the profit due to the mining.

To the citizens of Armstrong: Our Academy project has been modified due to Confederation interference all citizens who wish to continue will board the light freighter in the city of Genteran all people are welcome, quarters may be cramped but profit is education, better then the Confederates will provide. The 50,000 will still be provided

(Encrypted: Guitar's lick) Comrade, how did you get the hyperspace to work on such short notice? (Encrypted: Violin's song) Sir, we melted rings of Durasteel found in asteroids around the assembly around our two Argosy's in the system. The jump time will be bad, but because of the Argosys it will be able to defend itself. (Encrypted: Guitar's lick) Good job Comrade. What about the pay from the potential students. (Encrypted: Violin's song) We decided that cheap is the best way to start, so 500 credits a year from this first batch. We also decided to be generous with the deadline and give them 25 days to pay. (Encrypted: Guitar's lick) Excellent, 10,000 students, 500 credits, that's 50 million throughout 25 days more then enough to make this profitable. Comrade you are dismissed.
