Congo Station

Congo Station was armed space station in orbit of the planet Verdant Vista in the Congo System.
== History ==
Until 1919 PD, the station was the command center and freight transshipment point for operations in the entire system and the primary defensive node for the planet.
In August 1919 PD, it was seized by the Torch Liberation Army, supported by the Solarian League, the Star Kingdom of Manticore, and the Republic of Haven. Its seizure enabled the establishment of the Kingdom of Torch, a state of freed genetic slaves, on the planet Torch. ()
== Command ==
In 1919 PD, the station was led by Kamal Lassiter, the General Manager of Operation of Verdant Vista, with Homer Takashi as his deputy. ()
== Defenses ==
The station was equipped with modestly respectable space-to-space defensive systems, suitable to cope with minor piracy threats, that included sufficient light weaponry to handle any hypothetical system shuttle that might be seized by genetic slaves in an escape attempt. In addition, the station was equipped with kinetic energy weapons to handle any potential slave revolts on the planet's surface. ()
== Marine Complement ==
For station security and possible slave suppression, the station possessed a battalion size security unit with small craft support and equipped with Solarian design weapons and battle armor. In 1919 PD, the unit was led by Major Jonathan Arnold. ()Category:Torch
