Armada

The Armada is the name given to Absalom Station's fifth unofficial sector, a collection of permanent, semi-permanent, or transient spaceships docked or in orbit around the massive station. Those in orbit not only avoid paying docking fees but also are exempt from most of Absalom Station's laws and taxes, while still being close enough to take advantage of the station's many economic opportunities, both legal and illegal. This encourages many of the less savory inhabitants of Absalom Station to make their homes there. Some orbiting ships dock with one another to form small space stations of their own. The Syndicsguild tolerates the Armada as long as they don't cause undue trouble, but is generally happy to have hard vacuum between those who inhabit the Armada and the more law-abiding citizens living on the station proper.
