Midway

Midway is the second Earth colony and the sister planet of Terra Alo.The planet serves as the primary shipyard for the ISA navy, the site of the ISA Naval Headquarters, and the main supply hub for the entire ISA military. The planet is also noted for having four ringed terristrial moons.

Planetary Ocean
Perhaps the most striking feature of Midway is that it has virtually no landmass being 97% covered by a planetary ocean. Colonies either float on Midway's oceans or are established where the ocean is shallow enough to build habitats under the water. The ISA takes advantage of Midway's oceans to construct ships miles long on the empty seas in massive floating dry docks as big as cities. Once a ship is able to achieve orbit on its own power, orbiting ship yards fit the ships with weapons, navigational equipment, living quarters, QST drives, armor, and shielding.

It's strategic location, housing the principal shipyards for the ISA navy and the colonial fleet, have made Midway the target for Singulus raids aiming to cripple ship production and repair. In each instance however, ISA forces stationed at Midway and it's moons were able to repel these raids with minimal casualties. It was at the Midway shipyards, the Summit and the Andes were constructed and fitted before entering service.
