Set in undulating tropical rain forest, from orbit the urban area resembles nothing so much as a giant pool of crapulent vomit on somebody's expansive unmowed lawn. Almost every building is roofed with corrugated iron in various advanced stages of rusty erosion. A single rearing skyscraper at the town's centre provides the headquarters of the Free Trade Union elite. This is the only building discernible from space with the naked eye. In the direct vicinity of the skyscraper are an intergalactic bank, an advanced communications array and large general stores and warehouses. Few other buildings reach higher than three storeys however, and most are crumbling mud-walled houses randomly clustered and packed alongside narrow pot-holed streets lined with deep purulent drains. Looking down from the airy white-bleached facilities of the FTU – established nobly on a hilly elevation above the town - the roofs stretch out as an ochrous tin checkerboard, a bilious metallic sea, the paranoid vision of a mad town planner. | Set in undulating tropical rain forest, from orbit the urban area resembles nothing so much as a giant pool of crapulent vomit on somebody's expansive unmowed lawn.

The [[Orion Syndicate]] and the [[Ferengi]] both operate out of the station as well. While it is unknown just how strong a presence they have on the station it is believed that the [[Orions]] are the stronger of the two. It is believed that both of these forces may be part of the FTU as well. | |||
