A large Space Elevator dedicated to a particularly large Cargo Stream on an expanding colony in the Middle Quadrants.

Space Elevators are the main structures used for the atmospheric transfer of maintenance ships and cargo streams in the Galactyan Empire. Usually, they are radially arranged around a Spaceport, with another belt of them covering the rest of the equator between other Spaceports. Space Elevators can either be dynamically supported structures rising from the surface, or they can be cables hanging from a geosynchronous anchorweight, that acts as a smaller center for cargo during elevator-to-ship transfer.
