 One of the most enigmatic aspects of the ancient and revered Hub of the Multiverse. While much of The Hub's day-to-day administration is handled by a staff consisting of The Hub's human (or various near-human) inhabitants, rumours abound that the main brains of the whole operation are extremely sophisticated AIs residing deep within the station's oldest, most ancient confines. One of the most enigmatic aspects of the ancient and revered Hub of the Multiverse.

 A legendary establishment, the Pub in The Hub is a comfortable and renowned meeting place for inhabitants and visitors of The Hub alike, including many a weary traveller from one of the countless timelines of the multiverse. In the era of the //[[ah.com ship|MES AH.com]]//, [[offtopic:IAN]] ran the place as its owner and bartender. Since then, he has moved up The Hub's governmental hierarchy, and is now the main human chief of The Hub's administration. A new bartender has taken on the mantel since Ian's promotion. A legendary establishment, the Pub in The Hub is a comfortable and renowned meeting place for inhabitants and visitors of The Hub alike, including many a weary traveller from one of the countless timelines of the multiverse.

 Along with the Pub at the Hub, this is one of the main recreation areas for inhabitants and visitors of The Hub. It offers nice vistas of surrounding space through heavily reinforced and radiation-shielded panoramatic windows (seemingly glass-like, but they're made from advanced materials). One of the best vistas offered by the Promenade is a view of the outlying Hubdock. This leads to the Promenade being a favourite place for onlookers who enjoy watching the construction of new multiverse exploration ships, as well as their launching for their maiden voyages. Along with the Pub at the Hub, this is one of the main recreation areas for inhabitants and visitors of The Hub.

 **Trivia:** The //Caravel// was the prototype of the eponymous new MES class, built by the Hub for basic testing. The //Allohistory// and //Uchronia// are directly based on it, but are roughly three times larger and much more completely equipped, furnished and armed. As a testbed, the //Caravel// was never intended to go on expeditions across the multiverse, but the Hub still keeps it operational, in case it would need a larger ship to aid in its defence against outside attackers.\\ **Trivia:** The //Caravel// was the prototype of the eponymous new MES class, built by the Hub for basic testing.
