Arisia Station, a Stanford torus in free solar orbit between Earth and Mars, is the General Headquarters for Operation Great Justice.

It is on a similar but differently timed Hohmann transfer orbit than the Island. The IATA airport code for Arisia Station is "XGAS".

Arisia Station was constructed by Hephaestus Mining and Metalworking, Unltd., who saw the need for a permanent facility for the headquarters of the Convention's armed forces when the Great Justice Supreme Command was forced to move from Stellvia to Grover's Corners. The station was sufficiently ready for Supreme Command to move in just before Great Justice located the Boskonian installation code-named "Boskone One", but was not completed until a few months after the end of the Boskone War.

Arisia houses the Great Justice Supreme Command[1], liaison offices to militarily-important factions (including the Warsies, the Belters, and the Blue Blazers[2]), a small drydock, a hospital, and other essential facilities. This was one of the busiest places in the Solar System during the final months of the Boskone War.


Notes

  1. Which makes it the closest thing to an official headquarters for the SOS-dan faction
  2. Disaster relief is often needed after a battle, especially by the people who just happened to be living on the battleground at the time.
