Every corporation starts somewhere – every alliance begins with the first flag planted.

The Astrahus Citadel is Upwell Consortium’s “entry-level product.” Small by comparison to the rest of Upwell’s line of structures, it is a corporation and even alliance’s first step towards staking a claim to the vastness of space.

Astrahus Citadels are deployable structures which require both a Quantum Core and fuel blocks to function. They allow for all non-capital-class ship types to dock and tether themselves, including Orcas and freighters.

Astrahus structures allow for a wide range of services, including manufacturing and resource processing, cloning bays, and corporate hangar storage. However, they do not allow for market hubs to function – those services are reserved for Fortizars.

“Control” of a Citadel is similar to operating a ship, and even comes with a Fitting menu, allowing you to swap out modules and service components with relative ease. An Access List will allow a corporation or alliance to allow or deny access to the structure’s control interface, allowing a single pilot to inject and remove the Quantum Core, fuel, ammunition, and other facets necessary for functionality. The Astrahus can defend itself against attack with missile launchers and even fighters.

The Astrahus, while seemingly small and low-level compared to the more grand and specialized structures of the Upwell Consortium, is an excellent first step towards a greater empire that will undoubtedly expand the stars.

Before starting the infographic, I have a question: Should it cover all structures, or can I focus on a single category, such as engineering complexes? Alex Sinclair

Cheers orik, so the choice is yours for this one. If you choose to do a single category of structure, then you could win an $8 prize. But if you want to make a super-infographic covering all of them, then you could win a $20 prize.
