* ''Mountain Range "The Space":'' An entire verdant valley ringed by several peaks is situated right at the heart of the station, providing a 'natural' environment for anyone accustomed to time planetside. A section of deciduous forest gives way to open grass, with a small lake and a river that eventually flows beneath a bridge and into a gorge. None of it is holographic, and the space has been stocked with appropriate wildlife from several compatible worlds. Available activities include rock climbing, bungee jumping from the bridge, canoeing and swimming in the lake, bushwalking and picnicking. | * ''Mountain Range "The Space":'' An entire verdant valley ringed by several peaks is situated right at the heart of the station, providing a 'natural' environment for anyone accustomed to time planetside.

The most obvious feature of the section was the sizable mountains of "The Space", a colloquial name given to the series of natural mountains that had been quarried from nearby asteroids and assembled into a realistic approximation of a small mountain range easily approaching a thousand meters or more in height. Like foothills to these mountains, a secondary park-like setting had been established leading away from the alpine meadows formed by this feature, and these multi-use parklands had been labeled the "Verdant Galaxy Gardens" | ||
