Halo Station is many things: a trading hub, a center of culture and entertainment, a chamber of political activity, and even a would-be shadowport. The station is named for the docking ring that orbits the station, allowing ships larger than shuttled to dock and their residents to be ferried from the ring to the station proper. The station also includes a short-range hyperspace beacon that most ships intending to visit the Halo Frontier use as a plotting device in their hyperspace jumps, ensuring that nearly every arrival to the small cluster of systems comes here first.
