Throughout Liberty Space you will discover dozens of space stations and depots.
We have recently uncovered detailed information on three of them.

Graves Station is entirely owned by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) and
produces the bulk of all gold mined in the colony. A contingent from the Bretonia
Police Authority is also stationed aboard to provide security against mounting attacks
by the Mollys.
Class: Wellington
Gravity: Partial
Docking: Yes
Amenities: Yes
Population: 900
Birmingham Station is a sizeable ice processing facility run by Bretonia Mining
and Manufacturing (BMM). Frozen methane, CO2, and hydrocarbons are mined from the
nearby ice asteroid fields, processed, and stored until transported to their ultimate
destination in Bretonia or Liberty. As a byproduct of processing hydrocarbons into
polymers, Birmingham also produces substantial quantities of oxygen which are often
sold to terraforming operations in the California System.
Class: Wellington
Gravity: Partial
Docking: Yes
Amenities: Limited
Population: 600
Owned and operated by Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines, the Shetland is a moveable feast
for the rich and those who service them. Aside from its gourmet restaurants and
shopping arcades, guides aboard the Shetland offer tours of the protected preserve
of Gaia -- a beautiful, pristine world -- but planetside visas are an extraordinarily
rare and expensive item.
Gaia itself is a tropical paradise -- a rich, green world of plants and animals
-- the likes of which have not been found anywhere else in the Sirius Sector. Until
its potential treasure trove of genetic material can be better understood, however,
Gaia has been placed under the control of the Cambridge Research Institute.
Aside from the very limited number of planetside tourist visas, only Institute researchers
are allowed on the planet. Unfortunately, poaching has become prevalent. Rumors
of the aphrodisiac qualities of certain animals has generated a tremendous demand
among those who can afford to pay for the privilege of sampling.
Class: Wilde
Amenities: Yes
Passengers: 500
Perth Station is owned and operated by Planetform Inc. as a base for the arduous
and hopefully lucrative process of terraforming the planet Ayr. This operation is
under almost constant attack by Gaian eco-terrorists, despite increased protection
from the Bretonian government.
Planet Ayr is a prime candidate for terraforming, being an arid world with a thin
atmosphere but an active volcanic system beneath its crust. Particularly attractive
to Planetform, Inc., were the initial surveys showing that a considerable amount
of water vapor, CO2, and other greenhouse gases remain locked in the polar ice caps.
Planetform, Inc. initiated first stage terraforming in 752 A.S. and continues to
oversee the operation from nearby Perth Station.
Class: Eden
Gravity: Complete

A Jump Gate allows instantaneous travel between two distinct points in space. Jump
Gates were pioneered by Ageira Technologies and are constructed in partnership with
Deep Space Engineering.
