The idea surrounding this station was in the years following 3025 and the 4th succession war a dozen large stellar companies got together to build a station that would sit in nuetral territory and would not be controlled by any single house. In about 3057 after several failed attempts a station was constructed and commisioned. The stations where called Avillon after the legendary land of Terra. The goal was to provide a place where humans could meet and talk out there differences peacefully. Offering a port of call to diplomates, businessmen, and wanderers. Its 2,500,000 tons of spinning metal all alone in the night.

This is why it has all those weapons and is as self-sufficent as possible. To insure it can do its job it has to remain neutral and to remain nuetral it has to exert enough force in its surrounding area of space to insure no one will attempt to take it by force of arms. Anybody crazy enough would have to be insain to even attempt it.

I use it as a satillite location for Merc employment opperated by the station with the assistence of the Wolf's Dragoons in order to maintain an equal opperation and fair standard for Mercenary Employment.

I'm glad you think its cool though.
