Docking Bay
The docking bay of this space station is the first sight you see upon arriving at this hub of infinite delights. The many hangars and terminals all attach along a long circular hallway. Lifts, and manual means of transport up and down the station are available at the center of this room. Though intended for its primary function the Docking bay lacks nothing in refinements.
Upon leaving ones Ship Hangar or Terminal, one is greeted by a throng of Jubilant Zeltrons, excited for the reception of their new guests. All colorfully dressed a band plays joyously from the center of the main hall. New guests are immediately given wreaths of pleasantly scented native flowers and beads to hang about their necks, or to adorn their heads, Lekku, or other appendages. The Zeltron customary kiss of greeting is often given liberally to both men and women guests upon their reception.
If one can look past the crowds of amorous Zeltron men and women greeting one in the main hall, one can see the rich decoration given to this place of warm invitation. The Docking Bay is well lit with soft indirect light. Through the massive Transparisteel windows one is greeted with a vista of the multi colored planet of Zeltros below, and the star field beyond. The carpet is soft, and colored to direct guests toward the experience awaiting them in the floors above and below them.
Hanging from the upper trim of the windows is a ring garden filled with bioluminescent plants. When the station is in eclipse they glow with a soft blue light. Banners of every sovereign system flutter serenely in the soft breeze that circulates, through the main hall. In the very heart of the Docking bay there is a massive hologram of the galaxy that floats above the band. When the station is in eclipse it also glows with a soft blue light similar to its plant counterparts.
