Alis de Victoria

Draft of the station's hull

In the wake of the recent destruction waged on and above Diomikato by the ACRE Corporation, the planet’s prime refuel station, Rahe 1, was damaged so severely that it was rendered unusable.
As the rebuilding efforts on the planet began, House Fornax aided House Aquila with building materials, work mechs, and cleaner robots to ease the workloads on the Empire’s Legions.
Work on the planet’s surface was exhausting, yet, due to Aquilan discipline and manpower, efforts progressed rapidly. The refueling station in orbit around Diomikato was not something that could be fixed by the iron will of the planet’s population alone; thus, House Fornax was commissioned to rebuild it.

Fornax chose, not only to build a new functioning refueling station but to create a monument and reminder of what happened to Diomikato in the wake of the Conflict of 3200. The Majan engineers collected debris, satellites, and damaged or destroyed spaceships, to construct not only a small refueling station but a proper, grand space harbour.
Special memorials were built around destroyed spaceships that played key roles in the S.T.O. uprising from House Fornax, ACRE, and House Aquila.
Notably, the AQN *Pride of Diomikato* was included with honors, and functions as the bridge that connects the two main pieces of the space station.

While the station is open and running, it has not been completed.
Currently still running under the name of Rahe 1, the former refueling - now proper space station - is awaiting its grand opening as ‘Alis de Victoria’ or 'The Wings of Victory'.

## Station Layout

The core of the station is newly implemented and shaped like a bird of prey’s head. Inside are shopping facilities, medical wards, and residences for guards and soldiers to live and work. Many small and big businesses that star travelers would appreciate are also localized near the core. In order to accommodate the workers during construction, House Fornax also established a small cluster of apartments and businesses in the station’s head, alongside an inter-sector embassy

The beak of the core piece is designed exclusively for Aquilan use. Inside is a giant docking station, to accommodate even the largest of military ships, optimally outfitted for intensive maintenance and refueling purposes. This spacedock is secluded from the other docks, who now function as the new key points of travel to and from Diomikato. Every ship approaching Diomikato and not in possession of special Aquilan permits is asked to land here first and endure the usual customs procedures.

Attached to the head, the wings spread, connected through rebuilt and reshaped remains of the AQN *Pride Of Diomikato*, the HFS *Sparkling Comet Trails We Left In Our Wake,* and the ACRE *This Briefcase Is A Burden To Both Of Us*. House Fornax built large, widely distributed docks and repair stations from the many wrecks and damaged hulls from within the system, including the remains of Rahe 1.

Naturally, the Aquilan navy would also use many of those docks, to secure them and demonstrate force presence, but also because the station’s head is limited to a smaller number of ships than what Aquila uses.
This intentional design choice did not sit well with everyone in House Aquila who argued that the potential for all Aquilan ships to be gathered around the core should exist. Fornax engineers argued against it by showing estimates of a ‘feeling of security index’, which proves that most Imperial travelers feel safer when landing or docking near Aquilan, Crucian, or even Fornax spaceships.
The argument that finally settled the dispute was that Aquilan ships docking among other vessels on the station would show good faith and counter feelings of isolationism in the Empire which can lead to risks like the now gone ACRE Corporation or the false faith of the Church of Humanity, Repentant.
