Voelklingen Station began life as a Red Hessian survey station before being turned over to the Landwirtrechtbewegung in 822 A.S. It was carved from a massive chunk of rock that is thought to have once belonged the Weilsberg Asteroid Field, but has since broken away.

With Omega-54 considered "well-hidden" and already heavily defended by the Hessians, the LWB decided to base the production facilities of their own custom line of snubcraft in the system, close to both Hessian and Coalition engineers who could aid in maintenance and production as needed.

In late 824 AS the LWB began to crumble from within. The various bases and outposts of the movement suddenly found themselves without leadership or direction, leaving their respective crews to decide where their futures lie. The inhabitants of a few bases managed to reach an agreement among themselves, joining old friends or choosing to continue the fight under the Gaian banner. The crew of Voelklingen however, could not come to an agreement. Torn between whom they should join, the station’s populace succumbed to infighting and ultimately became scattered.

A number of the Voelklingen crew chose to align themselves with the Gaian movement in Stuttgart and left to join their ranks while others joined the forces with the Hessians or Coalition, one handful of former LWB struck out to find their fortunes as pirates. Voelklingen itself was left abandoned after the exodus, eventually being destroyed by a reactor breach several weeks later. Now all that remains is an empty husk gradually being pulled into the atmosphere by the gravity of Planet Odense.
