[META] Stations at the L5 Point
 
#20
Allright, here's my draft of the wiki mod for L5. Many thanks to Firvulag for his suggestions for the last couple of station names.

The full list of stations with reg letters and populations can be found here, to avoid more table-breaking.


====Lagrange 5====
L5 was one of the first areas to be permanently settled, and continues to be one of the most diverse and densely settled areas of Fenspace. Roughly 40,000 people live at the L5 point permanently, while another 10-20,000 pass through the area on any given day.

The [[Warsies] began construction of '''[[New Yavin]''' around the same time the [[Stellvians] began work upon '''[[Stellvia]'''. Not long afterward, [[Rockhounds] mining asteroids SR-01 and SR-02 were placed into orbit around the L5 point; SR-01 would eventually pass to [[NASA] and be renamed '''Beta Station''', and SR-02 became the '''Herbert Henry Station''' industrial platform. Other early adopters followed. The [[Juraians] built '''Tsunami''' not long after the Space Rocks arrived, and were followed by the Abh and their home base '''Abliarsec'''.

The first three "space cities" started going up in 2010. '''[[Genaros]''', the largest habitat in the L5 area, was set up as a cyberpunk playground with a Japanese-American fusion culture. '''[[Island One] '''was put in place by a group of American space advocates. '''[[Central Station]''' was the work of Australian and European generalist Fen; intended to be the defacto capital of L5, Central has yet to wrest that title away from Stellvia.

Other stations at L5 include:

* '''John Henry Station''', an industrial platform that supplies most of the components used to build everything in L5.
* '''Stardust Station,''' the primary outpost of Perry Rhodan fen in Fenspace.
* '''Robur's Eyrie''', a French [[Pulper] habitat with excellent manners and a somewhat sinister reputation.
* The heart of Gundam-fen activity in cislunar space, '''A Baoa Qu''' is also the headquarters of the [[Anti-Earth Union Group].
* The small Extropian enclave of '''Humanitas Excelsior'''.
* The equally small Wiccan temple-monastery '''Ravenmoon Station'''.
* The '''Colony''' is the main point of presence for [[Galactican] Cylons. Needless to say, the station is ''not'' popular with Galactican Colonials, but maintains good relations with AI-friendly factions.
* '''Libertatia Station,''' originally the center of the [[Space Pirates], has declined since the opening of SSX Base on [[6565 Reiji]. The station acts as a friendly port-of-call for Pirates in the inner system.
* '''Space Station Three''', a [[Dandelion] boarding house/concert hall that may or may not be haunted.
* Meetpoint Station is a minor trade center and conference facility. Built and maintained by a group of CJ Cherryh fen, Meetpoint is considered more "neutral" ground than the more politically-ambitious ''Stellvia'' and ''Central''.
* '''[[Wonderland] Station''', a Stellvian subsidary and the major agriculture station in L5.
* '''Green Planetoidy''', a cargo transfer platform built by the [[Jupiter Mining Corporation].
* '''Over The Rainbow''', originally a failed industrial platform taken over by the construction crew and other squatters. The [[Space Patrol] suspects it may be a waypoint on the [[Boskonian] pipeline.
* '''O'Neill Station '''and '''Kickassia''' are private habitats belonging to generalist Fen with more money than sense. Both stations are nominal members of the Convention, but don't interact with the rest of Fenspace that often.
* '''Lief Erickson Station''', a post-war station that acts as a bridge between the [[Discordians] and the [[Space Pirates]. Home of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.
* The newest addition to the L5 menagerie, '''Clarke County''' is home to a group of fendanes with [[Nivenite] and [[Heinleinian] tendencies.
