A small battlestation meant to provide orbital defense over some key point of a planet. Some here have posted similar ideas; this is my take on the concept. Input appreciated.

==Overview:==
The Maginot is a battle station designed in the Astral Republic. Its mission
is to provide a degree of fixed orbital defense over key points of a planet,
such as military bases or major factories.



==Capabilities:==
The Maginot is designed to be cheap and efficient. Its hull is a 350-meter
sphere, which is constructed on site around its twin grav decks; all the
modules necessary to build a Maginot can be carried in one trip by a Chaland
megafreighter. It uses the same equipment as RMF warships to save costs and
simplify crew training, and has enough armor to withstand a sustained assault
by anything short of a full enemy battle group.

The Maginot can project the firepower of an RMF destroyer in every direction.
Each facing is equipped with triple NAC/20's, quad NL/55's, twin AR-10's, and
the RMF's usual batteries of lighter weapons and active defenses.

Since the Maginot is purely a "point defense" station, it has only minimal
extra assets. One fighter wing provides local CAP, while an armored marine
company serves for onboard security. Logistical needs are handled by a shuttle
flight and a single dropship ring. 

The Maginot carries five years worth of fuel, enough to see it through an
entire war if necessary. Its cargo bay is fairly small, but since the Maginot
operates in planetary orbit where it can be easily resupplied from below, this
is not really a major flaw. The Maginot is fitted with escape pods instead of
lifeboats for the same reason; if the worst comes, the crew can drop right to
the planet.

==Deployment==
Maginot stations are being constructed to guard key positions all over the
Astral Republic; the first stands its watch over the Republic's capital city
on Normandy. The RMF currently plans for each world to have one assigned to
its capital, with others added as necessary to cover major installations; it
is expected that Fournaise in particular will need several of them.

This is not good news for most RMF soldiers, who dislike the Maginot for
various reasons. Maginot duty is garrison duty, which is always tiresome. The
Maginot's crew facilities are relatively limited. Most of all, the Maginot is
a station; it cannot move to evade or retreat. All it can do is sit and shoot
and pray for help to arrive in time. The RMF believes the extra security
provided by the Maginot to be worth a few unhappy soldiers, but still uses
doubled crew rotations to limit the morale issues.
