(Made some additional changes; neutronium is otherwise too gravitationally dense to be built upon safely without crushing everything near it)

Constructed after the refugee fleet's arrival into Titano space, Sanctuary is home to a couple thousand civilians and soldiers. Without the ruins of Earth to sustain themselves, the development of industry was a priority for the new Council. Research into the Obelisk and why the Traveler's corpse had settled around its orbit is ongoing.

===Hull and physical characteristics===
Sanctuary's hull is a combination of half the Traveler's corpse and an aggregated mixture of Cabal, Eliksni, and Golden Age construction. The half-dome of the Traveler is always facing sunwards, no matter which way it orbits, while opposite the jagged points of two Barques and the smooth hulls of Cabal carriers stretch outwards.
Sanctuary is a combination of half the Traveler's corpse and an aggregated mixture of Cabal, Eliksni, and Golden Age construction. Due to the density of neutronium ordinary construction was impossible, and so the actual space station hides in the shadow of the Traveler's half-dome, shielded from the sun's rays. The space station resembles a jagged and pointed mess of machinery and alien technology poking every which way.


In essence, if somewhat irreverently, it resembles a metallic jellyfish.

===Armament===
===Armament===
The smooth dome of the Traveler bears no defenses, and is thus the most vulnerable part of the city despite its neutronium construction. A fleet of Eliksni Proas constantly keep a patrol around it. The rest of the structure is lined with Eliksni plasma guns and Cabal amat weapons. Eliksni Shanks provide a defensive screen, being capable of deployed in the literal millions in the event of an attack.
