Starsight lies in deep space, some forty-odd light years from [[Detritus]], in the C4 region of the Superiority. The whole station is a vast, flat disc many kilometres long, larger than any Detritus city. Numerous skyscrapers and other buildings are constructed on both its sides.{{book ref|sky2|9}}{{file ref|Starsight.jpg|Starsight view}}{{book ref|sky2|24}} A glowing blue bubble envelopes the entire structure, keeping the air and heat in, and allowing the inhabitants to live on the surface.{{book ref|sky2|9}} There's also a field suppressing [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities, as well as a protective shield, which can stop both physical objects and [[delver]]s from attacking.{{book ref|sky2|10}}{{book ref|sky2|i|3}} It's possible that rather than being a separate entity, the protective shield is the same as the atmospheric shield, recalibrated as necessary.{{book ref|sky2|36}}
The city is divided into several -- at least seven -- sectors, and dotted with over a thousand berths for ships to dock in. Unlike the rest of the city, the docks are typically austere, comprised of large, unadorned metal platforms. Connecting the various sectors is a public transport network in the form of round platforms that float using [[acclivity ring]]s.{{book ref|sky2|10}}
