[META] Stations at the L5 Point

[robkelk]

Working out a list, but this is going to take a while.

We have a list - http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Cislunar_Space]on the FenWiki.

Earth Orbit: The ISS, Babylon .5, SR-06 Nouveau Paris, Disney's World

L1: (null entry)

L2: VVS EXFOR staging area

L3: Grover's Corners

L4: Benjamin Franklin Station, Greenwood

L5: Stellvia, New Yavin, SR-01 Space Station Beta, SR-02, SR-08 Wonderland

Of course, it isn't up to date; that Space Rock number for Wonderland is wrong... None of us can keep what we've got straight - and that includes me.

Oh, and Abriel Station should be Abliarsec Station. That's (from what I can gather) the actual name of the Abh homeworld-station-whateverthefuckitis. Fen are purists, after all.

I told folks I didn't know enough about Crest/Banner of the Stars ... Thanks.

Another idea, suggested by Epsilon and riffed on by me: Genaros Station, where the action-cyberpunk Fen hang out and try to make hardsuits. (So far, they've only managed battlemovers, but the Whole Fenspace Catalog offers some promise.) Relations between Genaros and Stellvia became strained in 2012 when Genaros discovered Stellvia knew how to build "sexaroids", but refused to share the tech...

Edit: And here's a chart of where all the Lagrangian points are in a three-body system (the third body being one of the Lagrangian points).



L4 is a third of a circle in front of L5, which is one logistical reason why Benjamin Franklin Station doesn't contribute team members to the L5 All-Stations.
