[[Tau]] '''Security Orbitals''' are space stations that function as a stepping off point when it comes to long interstellar journeys, and as formidable battle stations at both strategic areas of space and in planetary orbit. The main routes between the Tau [[Sept]]s are marked with security orbitals, which are also used as communication relay points.
