Dutain's Garage

Information
Dutain's Garage is a neutral space station owned and operated by Vara Dutain, specializing in repairs and upgrades for racing vessels. It is located near the outskirts of The Ion Storm and is built into the interior of an asteroid. As one of the first host sectors for The Ion Races, crews have the opportunity to test their mettle against seasoned racing veterans. The station is home to a repair bay, a component vendor, a noodle shop with a bar, a living/sleeping area, and a variety of NPCs.

Crews entering the race can choose to place up to 5000 credits in a betting pool for their ship, with the winning crew taking the jackpot.

Layout
The race track takes a roughly triangular shape, with a variety of obstacles to overcome. Contestants start in a cylindrical chamber, proceeding through a winding tunnel (containing the first bio-hazard turret) before entering a large chamber with moving lasers designed to chop up weaker vessels. Passing through this chamber takes the contestants into a second tunnel which straightens out, leading into a large, open chasm with glowing purple crystals, an overcharge field generator, and two circular hunks of conductive metal to encourage electrical arcing. This chasm also contains a Repair Depot which can be utilized for mid-race repairs. Passing through this chasm takes the contestants through a third tunnel, this one simply having been dug/cut through the asteroid. The second turn of this tunnel will introduce the contestants to their first Heat Vent, which releases clouds of superheated gas and begins to thermalize the reactor cores of most ships. Beyond this heat vent lies the final tunnel which takes you back to the start/finish line, as well as a convenient ice dust cloud to cool down your reactor.
