Enceladus Prime as seen from the outside
Enceladus Prime

Residential ring of [the] Enceladus Prime space station surface rotates at 58 m/s to maintain comfortable 7.5 m/s^2 artificial gravity. Running inside it is not advised, as it can change it from 0.7 up to 1.4G. -Source

The Enceladus Prime station orbits the ice moon Enceladus. Originally commissioned as a military shipyard, following the asteroid impact of 2184 and subsequent discovery of minerals in the Rings of Saturn, it was quickly converted for habitation and industry to exploit the rush that ensued.

Three concentric cylinders form residential, industrial, and docking rings of primary hub of ring-mining operations in rings of Saturn. In addition Enceladus Prime's superstructure is marked by numerous "buildings" built onto it, mostly composed of self-contained habitats, many being re-purposed spaceships to some extent.

Enceladus prime is also where you will be commencing most of your operations from this station. You can trade minerals, repair & replace equipment, tune equipment, purchase services & pay off fines, manage your fleet & buy new ships, manage crew, look over information about previous operations, and start a new dive all from this station. A full guide on these can be found here, while a more beginner-friendly guide can be found here instead.

Ring Sectors

Residential ring
 * Radius: 450m
 * Length: 2500m
 * Revolution time: 49s
 * Artificial gravity: centrifugal, 7.5m/s^2
 * Population: 150.000

Outer superstructure of Enceladus Prime station holds majority of population and commercial operations. With comfortable gravity of 7.5m/s^2 residential ring is suitable for prolonged habitation without risk of muscle atrophy. Buildings are individually pressurized and powered, many of them being in fact decommissioned spacecraft - some even still spaceworthy.

Industrial ring
 * Radius: 200m
 * Length: 2500m
 * Revolution time: 238s
 * Artificial gravity: centrifugal, 0.14m/s^2
 * Population: 21.000

Industrial ring holds most manufacturing, maintenance and hydroponics to supply the station and docked craft. Minute gravity of 0.14m/s^2 is maintained for storage convenience. Personnel aboard industrial ring should use magboots at all times. Industrial ring also houses permanent population of ringers that adjusted to microgravity. As in residential district, many of the buildings in industrial ring are decommissioned or even fully operational crafts that are mounted to the ring temporarily for extended stays.

Docking ring
 * Radius: 100m
 * Length: 200m
 * Revolution time: n/a
 * Artificial gravity: microgravity

The innermost ring of Enceladus Prime serves as a docking station for refueling and resupplying ships. There are no permanent residents of docking ring.
