My suggestion would be to have quartermass tring to turn the tools of the enemy into their own. distrustiong biomods and controlled and monitored handwavium sure, but without the wave they are just another 'dane fringe group.
[Reading the Commissar's comments and this about Quatermass [only one R in Quatermass, by the by. It's a VERY easy mistake to make] only strengthens my conviction that this group would only really use Hardtech. However, they would use hardtech derived from scientific breakthroughs made by handwavium. They may have gotten into fenspace using handwavium, but they stayed almost exclusively with hardtech. That's why they stay mostly in the Earth-Luan system, and use telescopes and communications intercepts to watch the rest of the system.]
I agree metropolis is too advanced even though I like the idea.
[Really? Aww. C'mon! There're lots of AIs running around. Heck, the Island is run by two of them. Wouldn't want to have a place to just kick back, relax, and really let their freak flag fly? In the beginning, it should be little more than a large flat hunk of rock with a dome over it and three skyscrapers and a factory of two, but it should soon be METROPOLIS if only because AIs build fast and don't stop.]
Don't know about slans but they seem to amuse other people and I don't have a problem with them.
I feel oddly compleed to write a short piee of the undoubtable epic between Bailey Sec and the Proffessor. I imagine the results to be somewhere along the line of attempting to arrest the lovely angels.
[Though I know this wasn't your point: once again, Baley Security does not, repeat NOT, employ any scantily-clad women with a propensity for mega-damage and giant cats.]

BAILEY SECURITY: Mmm, Pinkertons in Space. I hate them already, and am looking forward to storylines where slapping them around oh-so-politely gets some screentime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmmmm... Considering the source of the name, all the "cop buddy movie" tropes, and the background of my collection of characters...
Plotbunny: Someone is murdered on Stellvia. A Bailey is called in by the victim's family to investigate. The station's security officer, R. Yoriko Nikaido, also investigates. Circumstances require them to team up. Mayhem ensues.
[That's a friggin' great idea. Although it still boggles the mind that someone would make a robot Yoriko. Inspector Kinoshita (you know, the tough female inspector that was in the tv series and the movie) would be really awesome as a robot.]
