It has large flying buttresses with carvings across them depicting the acts of the Emperor and his Primarchs.  A top the largest building is a large Imperial Aquila, gleaming in the light of the system’s star.  Around the edge of the station appear to be buildings of a more utilitarian nature.  Docks, defense batteries, and shuttle bays dot its surface.Richard brings the ship around to one of these docks and begins to slow the ship down to a complete stop.  He has a running dialogue with the station control as they both work to get the ship docked.  Richard cuts the power to the engines.  Nothing happens for a few minutes, but then the ship is slowly pulled towards the station.  A clang can be heard on the the port side of the ship as the mooring grabs a hold of the ship.  “Docking is complete Favourable Wind.  Welcome to Port Wander.”By this time Bromidus has made his way to the bridge.  He looks flustered and tired but he still has the strength to muster a smile once the ship is docked. “Here we are!  Brother, Dallion has informed me he should be down to our docks within the hour with transportation to our new apartments.  All my staff are ready to disembark and all our equipment is ready to go.”</blockquote>
