[The Gateway]: [Information classified, do not share]
The Gateway is the massive construct stabilizing the Hyperspace
gateway between G-S16 and D-N7, the gateway has been constructed long
after the Dawns arrival in D-N7 and it´s construction took several
years even with an entire starforge dedicated to it.
Later on, after the fall of the Imperium, the Gateway was completely overhauled and rebuilt, much of the technology which was used in the gateway is even today too arcane for many of the scientists, as various precursor materials and blueprints had a role in it and the exact function of some of the parts is a miracle to this day.
Both Gateways, the one in D-N7 and that in G-S16, are heavily armed [further information classified] and under the constant watch of several defense fleets on both sides.
Around the Gateway there are several spacestations of various purposes, be it maintenance, policing or trade, as a large amount of traffic is passing through them at all times, ranging from traders to military detachments.
Rumors say that the Gateway is capable of moving, so far there has been no proof of any such capability however...
[Location:] [Information classified.]
The gateway on the G-S16 side has actually been constructed later than the D-N7 sided one.
The exact reason for this has been lost to time but it is known that the experienced gathered in building teh D-N7 gateway has been put to good use in building the G-S16 sided one.
Unlike the D-Gateway the G-Gateway has all it´s systems as well as a large part of the coordination centers and defensive weaponry integrated into the gate, the gate is powered energy generators powered by the Hyperspace stream.
There is activity around the gate 24 hours a day, controsl towers and stations coordinating the traffic in cooperation with the other side of the gateway. The backside of the Gateway is covered by the Hyperspace stream and the reality disturbances in the locale.
Most of the traffic consists of registered traders and merchant ships, but there are also a variety of others.
Namingly there is also a decent amount of recon and diplomatic craft coming through the gate every day and the entire defense fleet is being cycled about once every 3 months, while the homecomers are going into maintenance and undergoing the latest upgrades so the fleet is always at it´s maximum potential.

Tactical map of the Gates proximity:
[Defenses: Gate]: [Information classified.]
[Defenses: Installments]:
The Gate has a total of three defense perimeters, each of them being lined with defensive platforms, however, each perimeter differs from each other, at the 3rd perimeter there are mostly shielded defenseplatforms and dedicated scanner-stations, the second perimeter also has defenseplatfarms, albeit heavier ones, and additionally smaller stations with hangars for fightercraft and drones, as well as light artillery platforms.
The first perimeter The the most heavily defended, being closest to the gate, additionally to the heaviest variant of the defense platforms and the same fighter/drone hubs, they also have dedicated heavy artillery platforms, lastly the first perimeter also has dedicated heavy shieldplatforms, which usually have secondary coordination centers inbuilt, these constructs are usually paired with other defensive installments.
[Defenses: Fleet]:
The Gateway has a total 3 dedicated defense fleets, 2 of them being present at the Gateway at all times, the other one serving as reserve and switching in when crafts of the otehr fleets are under maintenance or being upgraded. Teh fleet themselves are decently balanced, having a mix of heavy and light craft, with a higher number of carriers and artillery than normal fleets, due to the already present defenive installments in the proximity of the Gateway. Captains and crewmembers have been specifically trained to operate in the proximity of the gate, serving in one of the defense fleets is considered an honor within the military of the Dawn.
