Hello, Captain!

Of course, I understand the need to ensure your customers are reputable, as I myself aim to ensure our own patrons follow our guidelines when they come to visit. Tijuana may be a freeport, but we still have expectations all the same.

To address the specifics, Tijuana offers both a refueling and resting point for ships of all kinds traveling through Vespucci, either passing by en-route to Kansas or Magellan, or in preparation for a trip to the Omega systems. While I can't say we offer repairs beyond the typical patch jobs for smaller craft and maintenance via mooring points, I do hope to be able to service patrons fielding ships with more bulk at some point down the line.
Tijuana's position should be fairly evident should one enter Vespucci via the Magellan corridor, as it is the leftmost of the two stations just outside of the ice field, at the far southeastern corner of Sector 4-Bravo. The position was deemed far more appealing than an orbital one, given the rather cluttered nature of the area around Planet Veracruz, as well as the cautious attitude of some of the system's other inhabitants.
As for the why, Vespucci is a fairly quiet system more out of the way than most. When I decided to retire, I wanted to establish a place here to live out my days surrounded by others with the same wanderlust that drew me to space in the first place. I'll say, I've met many souls just since opening Tijuana to the public, and to say they've filled my heart with hope would be quite the understatement. Many of those that come to Tijuana, whether permanently or temporarily, do decide to provide their services, to such a point that we've fostered a sort of explorer's guild based off the station. While I'm content with Tijuana's role, they do regularly aim to expand, and I'm more than happy to speak for them, as I am now.

In that aim, my supply captains, as well as some of those that want to expand Tijuana's services, are looking for bulk hauling ships to keep the station stocked, and in the near future likely well funded too. While Vespucci right now may be a backwater, I suspect some of the more enterprising among the Society want to try and change that. It will take quite the effort, no doubt, but I know better than to stand between dreamers and their goals.
Since you've raised an interest in visiting Tijuana, I'll give the landing teams a note to expect someone from DSE in the near future. I would be more than happy to allow DSE to utilize the station to base off for coverage in the system, as well. I hope I've provided the answers you were looking for, and if not please let me know, as well as if you have any further you wish to ask.

Thank you, Captain. Please, have a wonderful day.
