Grendelsbane Station

Grendelsbane Station was a Royal Manticoran Navy duty station and shipyard that was established in the Grendelsbane System some time prior to 1905 PD.
== History ==
The Station was supported by the second largest Manticoran fleet yard, expanding to over 50,000 Manticoran personnel in 1919 PD. Its shipyards and other orbital facilities were destroyed with nuclear devices in 1919 PD during the Battle of Grendelsbane in Republic of Haven's Operation Thunderbolt. The loss of the system was the final blow that led Michael Janvier, Baron High Ridge, to resign from the office of prime minister. (, )
The Havenite forces were able to capture 42,000 shipyard workers that were unable to evacuate when the Manticoran forces withdrew. The workers were later repatriated to the Star Empire of Manticore by the unilateral decision of Havenite President Eloise Pritchart in 1922 PD as an olive branch in her attempt to end the war and create the Grand Alliance.
