Theriault Capital Starport

The Theriault Capital Starport is the primary Starport of Terun and part of expansive Federation Capital StarPorts. The Starport caters exclusively to Passenger transports, with ships travelling to places within the Planetary System and throughout the UW. Orbiting just 70000km from Terun, in the Terun-Sola Lagrange Point, it is the largest man-made object in orbit around it.

Layout
The Starport consists of 5 independent stations that are linked together by shuttles, pylons and Transmitters. The Starport has 4 Warp Lanes, with each of them pointing at a StarRoute. The Starport has an array of scanners, sensors and drones. It has a compliment of hundreds of thousands of shuttles, drones and cargo Drones. It is defended by Shields and Weapons Pods, along with its array of drones. Other than docking and refueling capabilities, the Starport has hangers for repair and maintenance of starships. Several starships have been built exclusively at the Starport.

Statistics
The Starport serves as the main port for civilian travel to the Terun Planetary System. Over 5 million people are at the Starport at any one time and people also live at the Starport.

History
Constructed after the formation of the Federation to serve the influx of tourists and travellers to Terun, the Starport was constructed in 1937 UD, with just one terminal. Eventually as technology progressed, the facilities reflected those changes with shield generators and weapons emplacements. In 1943 UD, Theriault was attacked by Pirates during the Pirate War, resulting in catastrophic damage to the spaceport as the pirates sacked and then blew up the main and only terminal. Eventually the spaceport was rebuilt but during that period, a makeshift terminal was built. In 1980 UD, the second terminal was officially opened, after being renovated from the makeshift terminal. However in 1983 UD, terrorists during the Vanduul War entered Terun through the spaceport, slipping past security.
