   Correct, the trench run was an offshoot of the North Polar trench   
   running to the port at the North Pole. The turbo lasers and cannon   
   mounted around the North Polar trench are to defend the Northern   
   Command sector above it.   
      
   Here's one for POD to rant about, someone that spent a lot of time   
   working out the scaling issues between DS1 and DS2

   DS1's equatorial trench is over 1.2km wide!

   Why do tourists go to the top of tall buildings and then put money in   
   telescopes so they can see things on the ground in close-up ?
