The massive Akasa Fortress rotates slowly in the light of the Constant Star.
Flame-like light flows over the fortress's icy metallic shell; fortress cannons protrude menacingly from the deck of the warships, their black mouths poised, coldly facing the surrounding starlit sky; hundreds of large and small warships patrol like a swarm of predatory sharks, exuding an air of killing intent.
In all directions, on the routes suspended with navigation beacons, warships, transport ships, and interstellar passenger ships cross paths like fish swimming across the river.
The enormous and heavy metal locks of the fortress port open at the rate of once per minute.
Warship tractors, resembling giant steel mice, dart swiftly along the entry pathway to the port; inside the massive enclosed port, rows of unloading arms swoop up and down, and behind them, under the dispatchers' command, the long freight rail cars stretch endlessly.
