A vacant station located on the edge of a system which is in crisis. It’s deteriorated and chaotic but it’s still in existence. Today, it is anchored by anarchic alliances groups, and a common determination to break free of the weight of corporate power.

The station has individuals from all walks of life seeking to create an existence amid the stars.
