Belvedere Refinery was constructed in 827 AS in response to challenges in clearing up New London. Initially intended exclusively as a smelting point for the vast quantities of military grade scrap endangering Planet New London, its role was later widened to include the salvaging of the Southampton Debris Field, all of the scrap in New London will provide Bretonia a source of ship building materials for forseeable future

ALG were initially barred from bidding for the reclaimation contract due to their opposition to Bretonia during the Aland Crisis. Despite this, the Crown's position was eventually softened through a combination of mediation hosted by the Federal Government of Rheinland, Gateway Shipping's lobbyists, and highly competitive contractual commitments from ALG.

The ALG also has their eyes on the traditionally BMM dominated MOX market, utilizing their Rheinland-Sigma supply network to source Uranium from the Edge Worlds, as well as hiring local miners who are willing to undertake the risk of mining LD-14 to bring locally sourced Uranium to the facility for processing.

The high long-term value of the facility has raised concerns among politicians who serve constituencies who rely on BMM employment, and to allay their concerns, a larger than normal BPA contingent has been placed on the station. The ALG operated facility also represents a huge gain for Gateway Shipping, who have historically faced distinct political challenges in securing shipping contracts within the capital.
