The official home base for the Musician's Aid Society, Space Station Three is a low-cost hostel open to musicians[2], with an attached concert hall.

Many Filkers call Space Station Three their "Bardic College". This is a reference to its administrative function as a place where musicians can find work, release recordings with some hope of not having them pirated on their release day, and compare their fanbases, not a hint that the station has any educational facilities.[3]

Either the Dandelions go out of their way to perpetuate the myth invoked by the station's name, or Carmen Miranda's Ghost Is Haunting Space Station Three - either way, there's always fresh fruit available on the station.

Notes

  1. Plus the transient population.
  2. Read, "free crash space", but only for people with musical talent and people who can fake having that talent.
  3. This doesn't stop hopeful "students" from showing up at their airlocks, though.
