Briefly decribed in the now-locked thread, but doomboner free. I'll copy the previous bits here someday, but one of the things I want to remember to put in Borealis is a Wizards' Tower, which will house Odds End Gubbins & Bob's from the old not-quite-complete Guide to Fenspace arghticle. (the top of Horizont Alley is Evens End) The Pernie with mechadragon and the Escaflowne-r will also be residents, for the dragon/castles bit, and a YF-25 w/Macross: The Ride "Paladin Pack" lance equipped FAST.

Also, unlike the original pyramid ship, Castle Borealis is armed. Though normally hidden away, there is a heavy coilgun and several weapons grade laser emplacements in each of the four corner towers, and a gravitic tsunami attack (no details have been made public beyond the name) is apparently possible via some manipulation of the dual 'Wave Motion Engines. There is also an armory connected to the new landing bay, which stores weapon systems suitable for being carried by mecha and fighter craft.

Meta/strictly OOC info - the GTP is actually a side effect of attempting to create a space fold without referring to the Whole Fenspace Catalog. Calculations suggest that success with this method would require at least a third node, a 10mt ship to anchor the effect to, and 4+ of those Hepheastean fusion turbines providing extra power, or a Trekkie cola/uncola annihilation "warp core" on the same colossal scale as the existing engines.
