Orbital Installations

The second largest gateway. It is primarily used for military purposes, and is frequently visited by numerous auxiliaries, legionaries, and their families. This gateway has the largest military sector of all gateways, and civilian access is prohibited in this area.

Various ships, as well as personnel working at military facilities on Mars and the Navalia orbital shipyards orbiting Mars, also frequently visit this gateway. While the Terra Gateway is the largest in terms of scale, the Mars Gateway presents the most magnificent spectacle in atmosphere, due to the docking of numerous massive legion spacecraft.

The Terminus Gateway is the orbital station serving Terminus. It receives local and interstellar traffic but is not itself the Via Imperii jump gate.

A boundary stone is enshrined within the station. It was cut from fragments of Baetulus, found near Alexandria, and is used in rites to Terminus, the god of boundaries. The state-managed stone marks the frontier in religious and civic terms and expresses the hope that the god will preserve Roman territory in space.

An orbital astronomical observatory that monitors the cosmic regions beyond the Limen System where the planet Terminus is located. Astronomers filled with curiosity about space are stationed here. This observatory operates under the patronage of various Roman nobles, and some of the astronomers here are freedmen. A unique characteristic of this facility is that it is the only Roman institution where scholars who hold critical views of Rome's cosmology can voice their opinions. Nevertheless, scholars who believe in traditional Roman cosmology worry that these critical voices might anger their patrons and cause the project to be terminated. Within this isolated facility, a subtle tension exists between these two groups of scholars.

A facility installed to directly monitor the Limen System, which is located very far from the Solar System. The personnel stationed here are secret agents employed by Roman authorities. They frequently travel between Terra and Terminus, periodically reporting on the situation in the Limen System to Roman authorities. Almost all information about this facility is classified, and very little is publicly known.
