This article details the differences and unique features of White Harbor Station.
Due to its age White Harbor Station has undergone several refits and expansions that have drastically increased the stations residential capacity. Where the original station model had one 'Green' and one 'Grey' residential sector, White Harbor boasts an additional five color-coded residential sectors.
One of the original and oldest residential sectors of White Harbor Station. Amagasaki is for the most part a vast expanse of graceful towering spires and interwoven structures beneath a simulated sky. Home to countless independent businesses, higher-level education facilities and facilities owned and operated by the Murasaki Keiretsu. Amagasaki is also the site of the local offices for Yamatai Star Empire upon the station, providing branch offices for the Yamatai Security Agency, Scientific Studies Service (SSS) and other government departments. Transportation is accomplished by one of the many trams or by hiring the services of a hover transport to navigate between towers.
The original domed agricultural habitat located above Amagasaki has been converted into the main residence of the Murasaki Clan. The compound takes the form of a vast Japanese-style mansion surrounded by a sprawling garden and a thick forested area.
Kurashiki city is home to most of the stations Yamataian permanent residents – the massive sector is filled to the brim with cozy residential spires, smaller businesses and parks, recreation locales and wide range of public and private education facilities. Not to mention there is a vast array of other minutiae of civilization as well.
Due to its high commercial traffic White Harbor has long had a fairly large population of Nepleslian transients passing through, and as the station continued to grow and expand another section was created to suit the long-staying or permanent Nepleslian residents. The interior of the Little Nepleslia sector looks as if someone haphazardly transplanted a portion of Funky City into the station. Fancy, high-class residences meet garish complexes covered in neon signs and many areas have regrettably regressed into little better than run-down, crime-ridden slums. Within this sector a gritty little Nepleslian could probably find anything his heart desires, be it liquor, a Neppies Burger Restaurant, guns, strip clubs, gambling casinos, cybernetics or the odd bit of illegal merchandize. Unfortunately the area also has a high crime-rate despite the best efforts of station security and the local branch of the Yamatai Security Agency to police it, which has had little to no success in stopping Smuggling and many of the criminal activities that take place in this sector.
The small Takasaki city sector contains extremely high-class residential spires and complexes, as well as other facilities catered to the extremely rich or well off. Since the inclusion of the Elysian Celestial Empire as a suzerainty of the Yamatai Star Empire, within this sector there exists a small Elysian Quarter containing buildings and residences built according the Elysian's own unique architectural style. Due to the isolationist nature of the Elysian culture and almost non-existent trade with that empire and its neighbors, there are few Elysian residents upon the station. Those that do live or work permanently aboard White Harbor Station have a tendency to set up shop in this area in order to remain apart from the stations non-Elysian residents as much as possible.
Miyazaki cities main features apart from its fairly normal residential spires and commonplace amenities are its high-output agriculture, hydroponics and aeroponics facilities and extraordinarily lush and verdant parks which are home to a variety of flora and fauna imported up from planet Anisa System. Most of the facilities in this sector are intended to supplement the stations importation of food and supplies for its residents.
Ibaraki city is much like Kurashiki, except in miniature. Ibaraki possesses an assortment of facilities like skyscrapers, apartment complexes, grocery stores, schools, small businesses, retail outlets and generally anything else you would find in a planet-based city on planet Yamatai.
Fukushima is the most popular tourist destination aboard White Harbor Station, offering the latest in gambling, fine dining and entertainment. Folks travel from light-years away just to try their luck at one of Maneki Neko Casino's many gaming tables. Sports fans can simply watch and enjoy or bet live on a variety of in-system races as well as a variety of other competitions. Art and history lovers can have the privilege of touring the extensive gallery's and museums of ancient Yamataian and alien artifacts.
If high-class dining is what you're after, then one need look no further than Ocean Pearl Restaurant – there one can enjoy a delectable meal, Elysian wine and a splendid view of planet Anisa System.
The other station sectors are not significantly dissimilar to what you would find upon a standard Kōdaina Minato station. Use the supplied links to learn more about each sector in the main Kōdaina Minato article.

Ge-H2-V3300 Geshrinari Life Support System
White Harbor is equipped with five-thousand five-hundred separate Ge-H2-V3300 Geshrinari Life Support Systems, allowing it to support a maximum of fifty-five million people at a time. These are located within Brown Sector and throughout the residential sections.
White Harbor utilizes eight Ge-H1-G3300 Geshrinari Aether Reactors as its main source of power. Six of these are located within Brown Sector, with an additional two located in the extra residential sections.
White Harbor utilizes sixteen Ge-H1-G3301 Geshrinari Fusion Reactors as a source of auxiliary power. The station has in storage enough Helium-3 fuel to remain operating at normal levels for seventy-two hours. Most of the auxiliary reactors and fuel tanks are both located within Brown Sector, with four being located in the outer residential sections.
White Harbor has eighteen Ge-H1-P3301 Geshrinari Turbo Plasma Drives for the rare instances where the station needs to correct its position within a solar system. These are located within Brown Sector and in the outer residential sections. The additional plasma drives when compared to the standard Kōdaina Minato design allows White Harbor to perform at the same level.
White Harbor has three-hundred and twenty GE-H1-P3302 Geshrinari Maneuvering Thrusters which are used to change the stations orientation as needed. The additional thrusters when compared to the standard Kōdaina Minato design allows White Harbor to perform at the same level.
