"So large is Portus Maximus that within the Administratum it is considered it's own world, a world with a population higher then an entire sector and a world with the highest revenue of all the Empire."

- Unknown

Portus Maximus is the largest space port within the empire. So large that it is considered it's own planet with a Governor, defense force, and fleet detachment given to Portus.

Portus is divided into 20 administrative zones each with it's own purpose. The most important by far is the 'Port Zone' (The Ring of ports surrounding the cities) and the Administrative Palace (Built in the very center of the port and looks like a towering spire reaching high into space)

Portus is not the run of the mill Space port it is something else entirely. Although 'Technically' one port it is a combination of older ports put together into the puzzle that is portus. It is also a populated mega city counting it's inhabitants in the billions with artificial farms used to partly support the population and shipments from all around the Empire.

Portus is built upon the richest trade routes and has been around since the early empire. It was once a humble watch fort before being commissioned as a port which over time kept expanding into the monster it is today.

It's ports are some of the largest in the Empire being able to accommodate the largest ship classes and with enough ports to accommodate a entire fleet. Which in a way it does through the steady stream of ships traveling too and fro from across the empire.

As stated before this port is massive being considered a world. It's Governor hails from the same merchant family that bought the place eons ago and is the richest family in the empire and probably the universe. With Portus receiving more ships, income, and wealth then multiple galaxies. This is mainly because it has the backing of an empire and also for it's location smack dag between the Milky Way galaxy and the Eastern Fringes.
