Omicron-64

Of the criminal factions, the Outcasts have the largest economy. They do have the funds. No, the Outcasts aren't a great military power. They don't have numbers. Cardamine stunts the birth rate of a sociaty. The Outcasts are also fighting a war on three fronts: CR and to a lesser extent IMG in the Taus, GMG in the Sigmas and Beta, and the Corsairs in Eta. The Outcasts have funds. That's their main advantage. If Rheinland can afford it without killing off their massive military at all, then the Outcasts can afford a less complex version for the purpose of processing Cardamine.

Less complex? Oder shipyard is perhaps 3-4 km in size at most. You're talking about a station spanning the diametre of an entire gas giant. That is a size of over 10,000 km at least. It would be infinitely more complex, not to mention all of the Outcast nation would probably be hard pressed to crew a station this big.
I still maintain that the construction of such a station would likely bankrupt Liberty many times over, never mind the Outcasts.

Also, Rheinland has the smallest military of all the houses in Sirius. Yet still powerful enough to defeat a Corsair invasion. Yet the Corsairs are pushing into Outcast territory. What does that say about Outcast strength? Sorry for derailing, but I figure some bubbles need to be burst here, some degree of scale preserved. It's hardly a free for all in a mod where we want to maintain at least a marginal state of realism. Nothing in Sirius is a vast interstellar empire with enough resources to build such a station, which is why I am protesting.
