Ouroboros is a massive orbital ring fortress and space battle-station, constructed by Dragon engineers in collaboration with some of the most prestigious scientists and engineers of the galaxy, hosting the base and headquarters of the legendary Dragon mercenary faction.
Like the mythological draconian snake that bites its tail forming a ring, symbol and representation of the earth and of the eternity, Ouroboros is an annular artificial planet, created from a modular belt that feeds on the energy of both,the system star and on the planets that host it, such as gas giants.
When it is necessary to move this colossal planetary orbital station, the segments of the serpent-dragon separate and make a new transit to settle again on a new planet of the Dragon Staff election.
Each of the segments constitutes a combat station capable of space jump and capable of becoming a command center from which to orchestrate and direct the operations of multiple war scenarios, which has been of great help to General Abbott, the which has maintained absolute control over the situation of its multiple Dragon units, rarely broken by the unforeseen changes of chance.

The Ouroboros (also uroboros) (from the Greek ουροβóρος [ὄφις], '[snake] that eats the tail') is a symbol that shows to a draconian or serpentine animal that swallows its own tail and that forms, with its body, a circular shape. The uroboros symbolizes the eternal cycle of things, also the eternal effort, the eternal struggle or the useless effort, since the cycle begins again despite the actions to prevent it.
its oldest use was in the emblematic snake of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. The uroboros go back to the hieroglyphics found in the chamber of the sarcophagus of the pyramid of Unis, in 2300 a.C. The traditional symbol consists of a dragon or a snake that bites its tail and creates an endless circle.
Government: Military Protectorate of Dragon
Capital: Jormungand.
Description
Each ring section constitutes in itself an orbital fortress and combat station, headquarters and industrial plant where various Mechs components and spare parts are stored, restored and eventually produced.
The rings collect, store and redistribute the solar energy they collect, using the surplus to feed both the defensive shields, batteries of combat stations, propulsion systems.
The structure of each segment is so robust that it has shown great resilience even to the attempts to dismantle it, when the Dragon engineers wanted to cancel an earlier model to replace it with the current segments.
Each Dragon Clan has a headquarters in one of the many segments of Ouroboros, where they enjoy all the facilities that a clan could wish for.
History
It is rumored that Ouroboros has been built from blueprints of Forerunner technology found in a hidden cache, discovered by the squad of the leader of the Dragons: Scott Abbott, during the campaign against Droch'ah of 3288. Scott at that time was a high AFF planning staff officer. He jealously guarded his booty without hope that this colossal project would have any chance of being built. But when he split from AFF in 3304 with a large contingent of loyal elite pilots, creating his own faction: Dragons and against all odds coming to dominate the view of Mech competitions in a wide divisional arc, the fortune that Dragons began to amass allowed to materialize the crazy project.
Since its creation, the Ouroboros ring station has been installed on three different host planets, whose original name has always been renamed as Draconis Alpha, Beta and Gamma, according to the order of each new colonization, being the original names of the host planets: Tsorah-7, Jupiter IXXX and Xi 8821-E.
The current host planet (Xi 8821-E or Draconis Gamma) is an uninhabitable gas giant, from which Ouroboros is extracting important resources that are traded to acquire the needed components to keep the repair of the damaged Mechs in the endless combats that the Dragon faction fights through the whole galaxy.
Although Ouroboros constitutes the main core of Dragons, the faction has a long list of outposts and concessions on other planets obtained by right of conquest or claimed after the non-payment of some contract with the three major powers, as well as some other locations in the fringe of the Galaxy.

Industry
The industry of Ouroboros adapts to the one of the host planet, but always directed to the supply, repair and construction of the Mechs that constitute the countless legion of the units Dragon.
At times, Oroboros has been a guest of some planet in which important deposits of Niobium were discovered, which greatly favored the Dragon clans, which were enriched enough to incorporate numerous units and large packages of Niode equipment.
Military Training
Ouroboros provides Mech Warfare training to all its members, constituting one of the most prestigious military academies of all times. As a statement to this, the Dragon clans have distinguished themselves year after year as champions in their respective divisions on numerous occasions.
