The Stellvia Annex[2] was launched in May 2009 as a relatively safe place for Kohran Li to carry out her experiments with high explosives and other highly-volatile substances. It was made from what would otherwise have been a discarded portion of one of the six Space Shuttle External Tanks that formed most of the original hull of the Stellvia station.[3]
The Annex was outfitted with a variant of the 'waved ion drive installed in the Epsilon Blade so that it could be moved away from inhabited areas during weapons testing. This, in hindsight, may have been a mistake; Kohran flew the entire Annex to the Island for the 2009 Fenspace Convention so that her then-current experiment wouldn't be interrupted. The experiment, now called The Kaboomite Incident, ended up being a success, if one ignores the trifling matter of a miscalculation during the design of the timing mechanism - the kaboomite device exploded earlier than expected, causing millions of dollars worth of property damage.[4] Ever since then, the Annex has been clearly marked as a potentially dangerous hazard.
Usually, the Annex can be found in orbit around Stellvia. Occasionally, it can be found outside the plane of the ecliptic, where few vessels travel; these times are when Kohran is experimenting with kaboomite or something equally dangerous. During the Boskone War, the Annex never traveled away from Stellvia without an armed escort.
Notes
- ↑ Not to be confused with ship L5-A-001, the Epsilon Blade
- ↑ Also called "The Best Birthday Present Ever!" by its owner or "that &*?!# navigation hazard" by most pilots in the Earth-Luna L5 zone
- ↑ The other five LOX tanks have been refurbished and dropped on various parts of Luna. Four serve as emergency habitats; the other was purchased by the Senshi and used as a "construction foreman's hut" during construction of the Moon Kingdom Memorial Outpost, then moved to Mare Marginis where it became the first permanent habitat at the Crystal Millennium shipyard.
- ↑ Luckily, the damage was confined to the farthest part of an impromptu parking area, beside what was clearly marked as a weapons test area; nobody was actually at their vehicles at the time of the explosion and there were no AIs built into the affected vehicles. Noah Scott settled the claims out-of-court.
