Scale Hold Refusal Dock
Overview
Scale Hold Refusal Dock is a D-class downport on black pylons above wetlands on Scale Hold. Four landing pads surround a clearing house; each pad has a brass mass scale and a short boarding bridge sized for Goblishili crews. Clerks assign S-band holds and mass-rating objections that keep visiting hulls off the pads while resident fuel skimmers land. Independent surveyors file first measure here under sitting-factor oversight.

- scale
- D-class wetland downport — four pylon pads, brass mass scales, low boarding bridges, one clearing house, S-band courtesy orbit
- tone
- A welcome administered as refusal — warm broth, immaculate reasons, and no boarding bridge until somebody makes the charter listen
- senses
- Copper-green reed water under black pylons; resin varnish; hot seal-ink; pepper broth; landing scales chiming; low Goblishili voting tones behind baffled glass
- occupantSummary
- Resident fuel-skimmer crews, local Incentive House clerks, sitting factor Ovi Still-Rate, visiting surveyor Nari Quiet-Scale, and whichever crew refuses to stay parked
- hazards
- Six-day filing clock; repeated berth denial; surveyor separated from witnesses or instrument case; local competitor-bond traps; a weather-delay form under a calm sky
- connections
- Secondary gate to Tally Verge; surface tramlines into Scale's wetland holds; paid skim routes to four outer gas giants
- travelNote
- The gate accepts registry immediately. Expect an S-band hold, then challenge the dock's stated reason one piece at a time; service-scale emergency access is lawful but rude.
- factionTies
- Local Mutual Charter clearing assembly and resident Incentive Houses; distant Hegemony oversight through Tally Verge and Thul'vaneh; Concord controls only the ring registry.
