Roanne facility was initially a prominent mining station built by Gallic Metal Service in 392 AGS. At that time it was the largest and most technologically advanced mining facility in Gallic space. However, the surrounding Saone Asteroid Field did not have as many asteroids with significant ore concentration as GMS researchers anticipated. In 594 AGS, mineable areas of the surrounding field were almost completely depleted, and GMS made a decision to convert Roanne into a large production center with habitats for numerous workers, specialists, and even higher management. The construction was personally overseen by one of the most famed GMS directors, Eugene Arquette, who spent most of his life on the station. After Arquette's death, the class designation of the station was officially changed to his name. Over time, Roanne became the primary off-world headquarters of the Gallic Metal Service. It is a tradition that the chief executive of the company spends at least one third of each year onboard the station, personally overseeing the production process.

There is quite a lot to oversee: Roanne houses several independently operating production plants and has over eight thousand permanent inhabitants. The facility is one of the central hubs of space travel in the Lyonnais system, and the primary producer of superalloys in Gallic space. With Lyonnais being one of the safest systems in Gallic space, the station and its surroundings are rarely threatened by pirates. However, GMS maintains a sizeable defensive fleet in case an attack occurs, and several platoons of Royal Navy Marines are maintained through GMS funding to ensure internal station security in addition to the security personnel of the company.
