Noted. As an aside please be aware of the operations of Bristol Constructions based out of Veracruz Munitions. They are a cooperative considered to be in good standing with the Alliance and are trusted partners in ensuring infrastructural development in the independent worlds.
They may even prove useful to your current supply situation given their current status of legality in the Houses. Regardless, I have conveyed to them that they should steer clear of the graveyards and so I would ask that you leave their operations confined to that station alone.
I'll keep you updated regarding this upstart Freeport.

They intend to use the base as a storage depot. A rest stop on journeys deeper into the independent worlds. Given their operations in multiple other systems that are either backwaters, or lawless frontiers, I don't find this surprising.

You're correct, they are a construction company structured as a cooperative. That is the operative word, however. Construction - not salvage.
In my personal experience their presence alone drives out all the small-time scrappers, such as Junkers and overly curious freelancers. Better still, their inherent resourcefulness and expertise in fabrication could serve to help you fortify against any attempt to undermine your custodianship over Veracruz and the graveyards.
This is your home. What's left of it may not be much but I'll make sure they're aware of this fact. I still remember what the Commonwealth tried to do with DSE, and the fact that we were just as angry as you were. The LFR will never make those mistakes.
Consider what I said about making use of their expertise. Never hurts to be prepared.
