MEC Hyperspace Gate Complex (15-Slot Station)

The tangled web of hyperspace gates around the galaxy's inner rim saw heavy disruption during the early stages of the Xsotan conflict. In the days before the Inner Rim Securities Pact, whole sections of the network could be cut off from essential supplies by a single attack. One of IRiSP's most essential responsibilities has been rerouting, rebuilding, and maintaining the centuries-old highways that keep the inner rim's numerous civilizations functioning. IRiSP's leaders knew that they couldn't accomplish this task alone. The Muthos Engineering Consortium was (and still is) one of only a handful of galactic corporations with the necessary resources and expertise for such a project. We have been partners with IRiSP since its beginning, and now, two centuries later, the MEC proudly maintains nearly 25% of the inner rim network. We at the MEC know that nobody likes hyperspace gate tolls. But when you hand over your hard-earned credits, we want you to rest assured knowing that you've made an important contribution to the engines of innovation that keep the inner rim network running smoothly.
