It is situated between the two stars, about 5AU from Sirius B, the dim white dwarf of the system. It's big brother, Sirius A, is 15AU away, and is the most luminous star within 25 light years of Sol; hence the station's name.Brilliance is a large circular station, typical of early Imperial construction, but with late era modifications to that design that makes it different from other stations of its time. It is composed of three 'donuts' connected to a cylinder at the center, and to each other by four columns evenly spaced along the outer rim.The center cylinder, known as the Tube, is where ships dock, and is where the main interaction for all who visit Brilliance takes place. There are shops, recreation, repair facilities, and everything else you'd find on a typical station.The three outer 'donuts', known as the Rings, serve three seperate purposes. The center ring, or Ring Zero, is home to the Imperial Government contingent on Brilliance. It has military quarters and training facilities for the System Defense Force and Imperial Marines, government offices for commerce & trade, and is also home to a small squad of the Imperial Scout Service.The lightward ring, that closest to Sirius A, is known as Ring One, and is home to Imperial Science & Discovery. It holds vast amounts of equipment and laboratories for some of the most cutting edge technology and astrophysical research in the galaxy. Many secrets of the empire are said to reside here. It also studies the relationship of both the Sirius stars.The dwarfward ring, that closest to Sirius B, is known as Ring Two. It is the home of civilians, workers, travellers, and whomever else wishes to make a permanent or temporary home here. Most who aren't station employees tend to live here for only a short time, and although life on the station is never boring, it is just too easy to hitch a ride to somewhere new. Nevertheless, there are apartments, hotel rooms, casinos, sports facilities, and residential shops. Despite the heavy Imperial presence on the station, there is a surprising seediness factor to parts of Ring Two, and many unexpected adventures can be found.Next up: Johan's Loop</blockquote>
