History: New Era[edit]
The small 1117 population inhabited a mostly automated orbiting starport, which quickly surrendered to the advancing Vargr.
- The human staff was expelled to the Domain of Deneb, and the Irrgh Manifest Navy tried to convert the base into a naval storage facility.
- A vampire ship blasted the station into debris in 1140, leaving a cloud of metal in geostationary orbit.
