Once a secret project of Liberty government back in 800-801 A.S., now old and forgotten, it has since turned into something it was not supposed to be. Today this large scientific and military complex serves a different purpose for a higher bidder.
Years ago, the Liberty government started a project aimed at learning alien technology and using it for military purposes. They did this secretly, since they knew that using the alien legacy would cause many problems in the political arena if that knowledge ever were to spring up. The research facility was to be built far off the Liberty house, far away from any prying eyes, beyond the edge worlds. It was designed to be self-sufficient and completely automated, a sealed vault where people could live.
Despite the secrecy and precautions taken, the team behind the Altair project has been compromised from the bottom to the top. It was because of Division 18's influence that the system chosen was none other than the infamous Omicron Iota, back in the days when it was one of the uncharted and inhospitable systems outside the rim. During the events of the late 800s, the documents related to the station's existence were destroyed, with all evidence pointing to it having disappeared. Altair has become all but a myth, though a very real one.
