Place
Themis Station is a mix of organic curves, crystal windows, bold spires, and domes where ships are grown/built. It orbits a ringed gas giant called Themis, in the Skyguard Home System.
Details
The nominal lord of Themis Station is Jaynos Skyguard, an elf paladin (L12+, he/him cis het). In practice, Delanos Skyguard runs things as the station's Master Shipwright. Delanos is an elf wizard (L18+, he/him cis het). Delanos spent some time in Sigil when he was young.
Themis is a cutting-edge, high-security shipyard, with about 80% of its capacity dedicated to supplying the Imperial Grand Navy of Tanyth Aramont with new hulls, repairs, and retrofits. The remaining capacity serves commercial and private clients.
The Grand Navy presence both necessitates and ensures that Themis is a clean and orderly station. However, House Skyguard is among the most tolerant and cosmopolitan of the ancient elven noble houses, so they welcome a variety of visitors, clients, and residents.

- The Comet's Dust: a cozy pub that caters to adventurers, mercenaries, fixers, and the like. The bartender is Jassin Torina, a dwarf bard (L15+, they/them/their).
