== Name ==
The science station was originally named after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkes_Observatory Parkes Observatory] on Earth.
Marths hated the original name of the station, so instead named it after a vintage Terran song "The House of the Rising Sun" that an old crewmate of his from many years earlier used to sing.
== Base of Operations for Marths ==
After it was acquired by Marths, the station was virtually untouched from its original condition.  The [[SS Wildfire]] and the [[SS Rampart]] were able to dock there.
The station was used for storing useful loot, supplies, and ship spare parts.  It was more like a hidden warehouse than a luxurious hidden lair.  Nonetheless, it was the base of operations – well hidden by a large nearby Mutura class nebula, and assisted by localised thick tetryon fields.
