==DESCRIPTION== | ==DESCRIPTION== | ||
* Absalom Station is a sprawling, densely inhabited space station filling a similar orbit that the forgotten planet Golarion once held around its sun. Its inhabitants include races native to, or descended from natives of, Golarion, making the station the last relic of the lost planet remaining in the Pact Worlds system. The station is also a focal point of the galaxy due to the Starstone, which makes the station effectively near every place in the galaxy via the Drift. | * Absalom Station is a sprawling, densely inhabited space station filling a similar orbit that the forgotten planet Golarion once held around its sun.

*At five miles in diameter, Absalom Station is a tiny structure compared to the planets and moons of other worlds. It has artificial gravity and relies heavily on recycling. However, it is also a densely populated place that more than 2 million people call home. From above, it is shaped like an asymmetrical six-pointed star, spread across a flat disk with the central habitation zone covered in a dome. | *At five miles in diameter, Absalom Station is a tiny structure compared to the planets and moons of other worlds.

*Absalom Station is ruled by the Syndicsguild and its term-limited elected leader, the Prime Executive. The current Prime Executive is Kumara Melacruz. The Syndicsguild is elected to represent electoral districts that are frequently gerrymandered to favor certain factions over others, including some corporations and criminal gangs. The station is a neutral space for the Pact Worlds system's inhabitants. Security robots manufactured by AbadarCorp help to enforce its laws, though some complain that the best-equipped models patrol only the station's wealthiest neighborhoods. | *Absalom Station is ruled by the Syndicsguild and its term-limited elected leader, the Prime Executive.

*The central dome of the station houses its most upscale residents, largest businesses, and most prominent organizations. The dome is filled with air and bathed in the light of the sun. It is at the same time a civic center and the station's most exclusive sector. The lush trees and fields of Jatembe Park are open to all citizens and constantly full of young lovers and artists enjoying their splendor under the watchful eyes of the druidic caretakers. At the same time, government buildings rub shoulders with the most expensive residences and corporate offices in the city - the sorts of places where heavily armed guards in the formal armor check identification constantly and the lines between public and private security blurs. | *The central dome of the station houses its most upscale residents, largest businesses, and most prominent organizations.
