GSNSS Francis Crick was a space station and orbital habitat in the Galton System.
While on the small side by the standards of habitats in systems like Sol and Beowulf, Francis Crick was the largest platform in orbit of Galton's single habitable world, Tschermak. Built neither as an industrial node or to provide space for population expansion[1], her size owed to the fact that she was an orbital fortress with almost one million inhabitants.
In addition to the normal defenses of armor, countermissile launchers, point defense laser clusters, ECM, and gravity sidewalls, Francis Crick was equipped with the ability to generate an impeller wedge and offensive weaponry.
The station's command deck was larger than usual as it served as both her tactical command center and the primary command center for the entire system. (CS4)
