| Charter Station is technically a microgravity environment, although areas such as the station maglev and the variable-gee gymnasium are subject to acceleration-induced gravity. Charter Station's exterior gravity is negligible, and crew members performing EVA are required to wear thruster packs equipped with a personal rescue beacon. Additionally, personnel permanently attached to Charter Station must possess the 'spacer' microgravity gene modification. While a gymnasium is available to assist in the maintenance of "downsider" musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, it is difficult to enforce strict 100% compliance in such a regimen. From a long-term liability standpoint, it was decided it would be less expensive to select permanent personnel based on possession of that particular genemod. | Charter Station is technically a microgravity environment, although areas such as the station maglev and the variable-gee gymnasium are subject to acceleration-induced gravity.

| Charter Station is home to the Coalition //Shogun-class// space dominance vehicles //Angelus// and //Onager//, and a small fleet of //Balaro-class// gunship and //Paliero-class// guided-missile pinnaces. Attackers making it past this screen will face the station's defense grid, composed of a large number of heavy weapons, which can be assumed to include missiles, ETG cannon, and lasers. | Charter Station is home to the Coalition //Shogun-class// space dominance vehicles //Angelus// and //Onager//, and a small fleet of //Pandion-class// starfighters.
