Port Meridian

Port Meridian is a settlement on the artificial world Meridian based around the crash site of the Andromeda Initiative vessel Hyperion. It is borne out of adapting all of the ark's internal structures for sleeper deployment and future industrial and residential development.

Port Meridian is currently powered by repurposed Tantalus drive cores. The frequent static discharges required by these cores result in unique visual phenomena in Meridian's night cycle dubbed aurora meridiani.

Layout
The ark survived the crash largely intact, albeit with some yet-unrepaired burn scars and battle damage in interior zones. Several weeks after Pathfinder Ryder's defeat of the Archon, the former explorable areas of Hyperion's Habitation Deck are now explorable areas of Port Meridian, with the difference that the tram system is now inaccessible.

Ryder's Room and the SAM Node are completely unchanged cosmetically, except the Ancient AI is no longer by SAM's side if she was previously put there.

The Atrium has a memorial of the fallen human ark that can be queried for information. Next to it is an e-mail terminal containing several information packets regarding recent events. The Jezra's Acquisitions shop is set up by the entrance to the SAM Node and Ryder's Room. The skylight above no longer displays the black of space, but rather, the "surface" of Meridian within its massive hollow interior.

At the eastern end of the Atrium is a direct link to the Tempest, and beside it is '''Spec. Rynn Gee'''. If the specialist gets Ryder's attention, she reports about receiving a distress signal from the quarian ark Keelah Si'yah, but its location cannot be determined for the moment. On subsequent talks she remains hopeful it would be found one day. The e-mail terminal next to Rynn also contains chatter about the missing ark as well as several astronomical and planetary studies.

On the antechamber separating the tram area from the Atrium, the Supply by Cal shop is also open for business.

All of Ryder's squad also loiter in the area whenever the Pathfinder's around. Everyone except Peebee can be found in the Atrium during the initial festivities while the asari hangs out in the antechamber between Atrium and tram area. On subsequent visits, all of Ryder's female squadmates are in the Atrium, Jaal Ama Darav is in the antechamber, and Liam Kosta and Nakmor Drack are by the tram area.
