{{spoilers|book=Starsight}}
Most buildings within Starsight seem to be skyscrapers, constructed in various styles, with rows of colored blocks standing side by side with corkscrewing towers. Peppered among them are shorter structures, down to three-stories high, and on ground level, there are numerous shops and bars, selling everything from clothing to food. Some buildings are constructed out of metal, then painted to mimic the look of a more decorative material, such as bricks.{{book ref|sky2|10}} In fact, nearly every civillian space, and most military ones, are adorned in some manner, mostly by painting them in various vivid colors.{{book ref|sky2|38}}

Starsight was built a few hundred years before the Third [[Human War]], as one of several dozen similar stations.{{book ref|sky2|28}} It's unknown who built it, or what its purpose was originally; however, at some point after Superiority's formation, it was important enough to make one it of the regional governments.{{book ref|sky2|9}} During that time, the station came to house several of Superiority's departments, adding to its importance.{{book ref|sky2|10}}
Apart from spacefaring vessels, Starsight also possesses many atmospheric vehicles for local transport. Nonetheless, most people seem to prefer moving under their own power, and there are many roads and paths throughout the station to enable this.{{book ref|sky2|10}} The city is bustling with activity at all hours, even in the "night" period.{{book ref|sky2|18}}▼
When the Delver Resistance Project was proposed, the applicants were assembled at Starsight.{{book ref|sky2|8}} The initial test likewise took place near the station, and the would-be pilots were housed in various locales there.{{book ref|sky2|12}} However, training itself took place in a different system.{{book ref|sky2|17}}
When the [[Department of Protective Services]] attacked [[Detritus]], one of its operatives, [[Brade]], managed to summon a [[delver]], which [[Spensa]] accidentally redirected to Starsight.{{book ref|sky2|41}} Spensa, alongside [[Vapor]], [[Morriumur]] and the [[kitsen]] warship ''[[Swims Upstream]]'' set out to rescue them, while on Starsight, a mass evacuation began, with citizens taking ships out of the station as the delver closed in on it.{{book ref|sky2|i|3}} The fighters eventually succeeded, and the delver was banished.{{book ref|sky2|44}}
In the aftermath, Starsight began negotiations with [[Detritus]], hoping to attain some form of peace. However, Brade, under orders from [[Winzik]], the Minister of Protective Services, attacked the city with the intent to assassinate the Minister [[Cuna]] and pin the blame on the humans of Detritus, hoping to torpedo the attempts at peace.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
== Politics ==
=== Information ===
Starsight has a public information archive, accessible though the local datanet, with information even on topics such as humans.{{book ref|sky2|18}} There are also several news networks, both text and TV, which aren't afraid to criticize the government.{{book ref|sky2|29}} However, it's uncertain just how free they are; though they can and will report on events such as civil uprisings and leaked information, they also seem to be easily manipulated by the Department of Protective Services.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
