X4: Foundations - Hatikvah's Choice I - Gatekeeper Installation

Beginning life as a simple four‑disc defence platform guarding a vital trade route, this 10km³ megastructure has grown into a forty‑disc fortress bristling with beam, plasma, pulse and flak turrets. It now effortlessly shreds full Xenon incursions — even fleets built around an I, two Ks, an H and ~30 escorts. The wreckage is harvested by a fleet of Manticore tugs and a Tetua compactor, feeding a processing facility that produces roughly 200,000 units of scrap per hour. Fifty‑five L‑class freighters run continuous loops ferrying that scrap to a recycling complex in Mercury. The Mercury facility refines the scrap into Hull Parts and Claytronics for my trading hubs across known space, and into Computronic Substrate and Silicon Carbide to fuel my expanding mining operations and the construction of my growing military fleet via my own shipyards.
