Research station - originally Rockhounds Space Rock SR-01, then NASA's point-of-presence in space, obtained by the Artemis Foundation as part of the April Fools' Purchase. Operated on a shoestring budget during the years that TSAB had effective control of US space research; refit by the Stellvia Corporation and brought up to their specs in April-June 2014.

Home to the largest optical telescope in L5 (which means Miyuri Akisato is a frequent visitor).

Notes

  1. At least, that's what the ship-registry databases say.
