Triton Spaceport

The spaceport on Triton is considered by many as the gateway to the galaxy, the last stop out of the Sol System. These people are idiots; obviously the last stop out of the Sol System depends on which direction you're heading, and where the planets are in their orbits.

The port is one of many recruitment centres for the galaxies mercenary bands. The Crimson Suns are the single highest employer of rebelious human teenagers in the galaxy and have their main recruitment centre at Triton Spaceport.

ADDENDUM: Triton Spaceport has been confirmed as a casualty of the Human Extinction Event.

Pluto Station

The spaceport on Pluto is considered by many as the gateway to the galaxy, the last stop out of the Sol System. These people are even more stupid than the fans of the ports on Triton and Ganymede; the last stop out of the Sol System depends entirely on which direction you're heading, and where the planets are in their orbits. It also doesn't help that Pluto has a rather eccentric orbit that on occasion brings it closer to Sol than Neptune, and therefore Triton, making it even less likely to be the last stop out of the system.

No one has ever referred to Eris Station as the gateway to the galaxy, though many have compared it to the gateway to hell.

ADDENDUM: Pluto Station has been confirmed as a casualty of the Human Extinction Event.

The Balance Point Café

The Balance Point Café was opened at the first balance point discovered in a remote sector of the galaxy; it has been open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since its airlocks were first pressurised

The café is retro-styled in the mould of a 20th century Earth-American diner and a 26th century Ioni-Charan (circa 21st century Earth) street café, with a menu to match both styles and eras.

The café boasts the only 100% robotic waitress service, with impeccable service manner delivered from a selection of styles, one of which is chosen based on customer compatibility. This system is not without its flaws, and a number of the waitresses have had to be sold off to more local establishments due to bugs appearing in the serving software. On more than one occasion a waitress has been serving a number of tables using multiple serving protocols, only for a glitch to develop in the software. For example, one waitress threw a bowl of bolognaise at a female Ionian and screamed “There’s your meal you great hairy pig!” in Gregoran. The table of Gregorans next door were subsequently disappointed when the waitress performed a brief ceremony, as is Ionian custom, with a gentle whistle in her accent.
