Description
A Kandorian transport enters the atmosphere of a helix station.

The gargantuan helix stations are one of the largest of all stations. Mostly found in "core" systems these mega structures direct FTL traffic through the most populated systems in the Federation, each home to trillions of sapients. Generally, there is only one per system due to the properties of worm holes. Larger wormholes negate the creation of smaller wormholes in a certain vicinity, the worm drive merely strengthening the stability of the larger wormhole. As such, ships must pass through these stations or travel far outside the system to use their own worm drives. Warp drives do not suffer from this phenomenon. Though the distorted space will destabilize the bubble, they are able to drop in much closer than a worm drive user.

Each station has one giant worm hole with multiple exits, each connecting to another station. These stations decrease in size and wormhole amount the further away from the core systems you get, till one can finally use a personal worm drive again in system. Worm holes are plotted through higher dimensions, as such what may be close through a worm hole may be incredibly far via warp standards and vice versa. Because of this, Core systems are not always near each other or even the center of civilization. Rather they tend to be spread out across a reasonable portion of the empires.

The different "tendrils" will often have different atmospheres to allow different species to enjoy breathing without suits. Warnings are issued to anyone who is not used to the conditions and desires to travel to such modified stations. To protect the massive station, they are equipped with many laser turrets, as well as the "grid". The grid is a large fleet of laser equipped starships and drones used in defense as well as enforcing speed and acceleration limits, which are punishable by death.
