Standard Citadels

As the entry-level product in the Upwell Consortium's Citadel range of space stations, the Astrahus has been designed as an economical option for medium-scale operations in space, such as serving as a base of operations for a small- to medium-sized corporation, or as an outpost for larger corporations or even small alliances. The Astrahus has been built with new spaceship tethering technology as standard, and will happily accommodate ships under capital size, and even freighter-class hulls, in its internal docking bays. The Astrahus can be configured using Upwell's Standup brand service and structure modules so as to serve the specific needs of the structure operator. Further adjustment of the hardware of the Astrahus can be achieved by installed Standup M-Set rigs to optimize the specific role of the citadel.

Conceived as a good balance of capability and investment in the Upwell Consortium's Citadel range of space stations, the Fortizar has been designed for large-scale operations in space, such as providing a well-equipped home for large corporations and small alliances, or as a border or trade post for larger alliances. The Fortizar has been built with new spaceship tethering technology as standard, and will readily accommodate most ships, including freighters and even capital ships, in its internal docking bays. While the docks are unable to service 'supercapital' level vessels, the defensive capabilities of the Fortizar are considerably enhanced in lower security star systems with the ability to mount area effect weapons. The Fortizar can be configured using Upwell's Standup brand service and structure modules so as to serve the specific needs of the structure operator. Further adjustment of the hardware of the Fortizar can be achieved by installed Standup L-Set rigs to optimize the specific role of the citadel.

Envisaged as the flagship product in the Upwell Consortium's Citadel range of space stations, the Keepstar has been designed for the most important and largest-scale of operations in space, such as providing a fully-featured home for large alliances, and even coalitions, or as a key element in the fortification of large territorial empires. The Keepstar has been built with new spaceship tethering technology as standard, and it will accommodate all size classes of ship, including 'supercapital' vessels, in its internal docking bays. The defensive capabilities of the Keepstar are formidable and are highly enhanced in lower security star systems with the ability to mount area effect and 'doomsday' weapons. The Keepstar can be configured using Upwell's Standup brand service and structure modules so as to serve the specific needs of the structure operator. Further adjustment of the hardware of the Keepstar can be achieved by installed Standup XL-Set rigs to optimize the specific role of the citadel. On June 14th YC125 CONCORD updated the capsuleer structure regulations to disallow the anchoring of any new XL structures in highsec space. XL structures that were anchored before this date will not be affected by this change unless they are unanchored.
