Kickassia is a private home. For one or more incredibly rich Fenspace residents. One really big problem. Who are they?
With a little effort you can map the main financial flows in Fenspace. This at least shows roughly where the wealth is coming from and where it is going. Really big concentration of wealth, like 'kajillionaires' will have big impacts on these flows. You should know roughly who, and where such people get their wealth.
There is another possibly. It's all a hoax. Someone with a lot of waved mylar, a flare for the dramatic, and a few imaginative friends, could put on quite a show. They could launch the 'core' of a space habitat, then outfit it, say at an L5 location. This could be mostly a shell with some farm bio domes, and a few people living there, using the place as an art project. Coming and going in limos which are cheap cars with waved mylar over-shells. Tinted windows, of course.
One rumour is that the residents are members of the Supers faction, who thought ahead, and are really enthusiastic about maintaining their Secret Identities.
Is this true? No doubt somebody knows. But, if they do, they've kept very quiet.
Kickassia's core launched Saturday 1st November 2008.
The outfitting of Kickassia was done behind large construction screens, made of mylar film waved-up to act as solar photo-voltaic collectors, which had the dual purpose of providing construction security, and a source of energy to use in the construction. The actual station completion was Thursday 4th July 2009, and was a remarkably quiet affair.
