The orbital fleet Stations
Space Station Zeta (SSZ)

The Mercury Base of Operations, Primarily used as the Ship building Yard. Due to it's location so close to the fiery inferno of the sun, only a small contingent of human personnel are permanently stationed upon it, hidden away in the bowls of the station protected by 20foot of refined martian steel and light and heat deflectors. The rest of the operation is run using special refined martian steel S.P.A.C.E. Patrol Robots who can resist the severe heat and undertake the demanding work required in the peripheries of the orbital fleet station and can also mine Mercury for it's resources.
There are currently several schools of thinking within the Trinary Union on the Space Station Zeta, some believe it foolish to have it manned by Robots, others think the human element is slowing the whole process down and is no longer required. In general the station is being hailed as the future of S.P.A.C.E. creating bigger and better cruiser class ships who can carry more and more personnel further into the cosmos.

Space Station Delta (SSD)

This is the Venus HQ of the Trinary Union. The majority of Venetian operations run from Sentinel.
Unlike Earth, which is the Hub of the Trinary Union and has three Orbital Fleet Stations Venus has one, Space Station Delta. This station does the same work as Space Stations Alpha, Beta & Epsilon but on a smaller scale. Acting as the Venetian S.P.A.C.E. Patrol HQ as well as it's military and science outpost, Sentinel boasts one of the largest research labs outside of Archimedes.
It is not unusual for scientists to request sabbatical out on SSD, as a result due to a more 'relaxed' atmosphere combined with the resident Venetian contingent (who typically is made up of the best of the best) 45% of the new breakthroughs are now coming from SSD.

Space Station Alpha (SSA), Beta (SSB) & Epsilon (SSE)

All built alike, (because as the saying goes, if it's not broke, why fix it?) these three Stations are in orbit around Earth, at the very hub of the Trinary Union. Each station is a hive of activity, and it's often said that 'Earth is a planet that never sleeps' This is mainly because here S.P.A.C.E. Patrol operate on a 24/7 basis, personnel work around the clock to combat the different time zones throughout the Trinary Union and the personnel sent on missions further a field.
The first and primary station is Alpha this is mainly used for S.P.A.C.E. Patrol training and the Trinary Union Head Quarters. Once you have signed up to S.PC.C.E. Patrol a new recruit will find his or herself winging their way to SSA on their conscription date. Here they will learn all the basics about their new life, make it through 5 years of S.P.A.C.E. Patrol service and as they say the world is your oyster.
The secondary station is Beta. This is mainly used by the Science and Robot Departments. This is the biggest lab in the Trinary Union and the mecca for any aspiring scientist in the Union. Here the big discoveries have and are being made. But don't assume this station is easy-going, far from it! Scientists are pushed to their limits trying to keep up with the demand of the Union requests for knowledge and technology. When the Venus Orbital Fleet Station Sentinel opened, this helped to share the pressure felt by SSB. Now it produces approximately 55% of the new breakthroughs. However the Terran sense of 'pressure' is a consistent element on board this station.
Epsilon is the tertiary Station, and was the last to be built. This is used by the Military Division and the weapons development departments. In a world where your nearest threat is on the moon usually the first outpost you build is one for militia, but this wasn't so in the Trinary Union. It was only when the many more external threats continued to materialize the Trinary Union invested in a single military base in the form of Artemis. This Orbital Fleet Station is the hub of the Trinary Union's military power and S.P.A.C.E. Patrol HQ. Since it's very recent completion SSE has taken on all of the weapons development departments helping to free up lab space in SSB. As a result of a concentrated effort on weapons development new Rayguns enhancements have been developed helping the firearms have greater capacity and lifespan.

Space Station GamMa (SSG)

This is the Mars HQ within the Trinary Union. All Martian business and operations go through Space Station Gamma.
SSG is similar to it's counterpart SSD stationed at Venus, in that it is the Mars HQ, however as it is situated on the outskirts of the Trinary Union, Imperator is a more military mined fleet station.
As the asteroid belt no longer appears to be a natural defence to the union SSG has become the boarder patrol agency within the union. Any and all border patrols go from this station. Utilizing the Martians natural ability for combat and warfare this station encompasses everything that is security.
Although many Martians see this as nothing but a glorified security company, The Trianary Union would be unable to maintain it's boarders and would have it's citizens believe they would be overrun by scavengers if Imperator did not exist.
