A district of Magellan, bordered on the south by <address>[1] and Forges, and to the north by the districts of Park and (above it), [2]. This sector is wide and flat, a dish-shaped area directly beneath the "Gate", a half-kilometre wide opening in the O-layers through which elevator/ship hybrids and even occasional freighters (carrying cargo too bulky to be easily transferred to other craft) can descend. The rim of the sector is on city level A138, while the centre of this artificial valley only reaches up to A98. The bottom of the level varies between B3 and A17, although immediately above [3], access is forbidden to the bottom levels A3 and A4.</address>.
Gate Basin was a warehouse district, with several landing fields for freighters, back when Magellan was only a class 3 world. Now, many of the old warehouses still have rooftop docking facilities for Supertanker-class elevator ships coming down the nearby Downline 17. Many other warehouses have been converted into living space for the low-earners who make up most of the Basin's staff.
