Zeranshil station

Zeranshil station is a large central monitoring outpost that regulates the energy production facilities of the Corassia system, such as the solar extraction arrays. It is a major Andalite outpost.

History
Zeranshil-Esfallen-Toban was an Andalite zero-G engineer and architect who lived nine hundred Earth years ago. He worked on many of the large scail building projects of the Andalite space force, including the largest single structure made by Andalites in space, the Zeranshil station. It was made to be a massive space supply and repair hub for Andalite vessels in what was then considered deep space. It evolved over time, becomming larger, more important.

The Corassia system has four G type stars, which result in a very large energy output. The Andalites took advantage of this, 10 years after the station was first made operational, its solar collecting arrays were increased in capacity 10 fold. Years later, dozens then hundreds of smaller energy collection stations were deployed close to the stars. They stored energy in advanced heat sinks and corite cells and the energy was collected later by ship. Advancements in Z-space shift technology now allow for the energy to be transferred to the Zeranshil station via Z-space shunts. The collected energy is substantial. It is used for the stations own needs and to recharge docked vessels power supplies.

The corassia system has over two dozen planetoids, eight of them possess tritium/deuterium supplies and water that can be synthesised into deuterium. Also on three of them Rubium deposites were found, increasing the value of the corrassia system greatly. This valuble mineral is still mined today.

During the Yeerk/Andalite war, it was turned into a fortress.
