Player: Angel Character: Tieria Erde | MS Gundam 00 Echo:Orbital Elevator
As the name suggest, it's a vertical elevator into space, primarily used to transport material to and from space. It's a megastructure build to function in combined capacity of an orbital elevator and a solar power satellite capable of generating and transporting solar energy as power source to the entire planet in Gundam 00's world. The existence of these orbital elevator are paramount to the livelihood of millions of people due to their reliance on solar power (every other power sources has been outlawed). It's also a destination for space tourism where you can view the earth from space.
The structure of the orbital elevator is compromised of 2 geostationary rings:- LowOrbitStation - consisting of commercial & residential areas as well as the tourism center. This is also where the civilian linear trains stop. Gravity block is enforced in this area.
HighOrbitStation - this is where the military base is located, along with a personnel station, mission control room and Mobile Suits hangar.
An orbiting satellite station build into the elevator functions as the military operations HQ for defensive purposes and general maintenance.
Last but not least, there are linear trains that run up to both Low (civilian) and High Orbit Station (military) with cargo capacity.
Why it would be awesome: 1. Infinite solar power to tap for robot maintenance and everything that needs power usage. 2. Mobile Suits hangar + facility for the Gundams and everything robotic. 3. Space tourism! Linear trains into space!

Here's the base of the orbital elevator for size comparison.
