INS Hephaestus

INS Hephaestus is the most accessible military outpost in the system, perched in orbit above Tangaroa. Landing on the station's main landing pad requires special permission, but a planetside outlet station allows traders to sell the luxury and home goods most requested by the military forces assigned there.

The station acts as a general staging area for system security, but traveling battle groups will occasionally also use the station to stage wargaming scenarios and training exercises.
