Avon was one of the first pirate bases founded in Gallia. No one knows exactly when this occured or who were the people daring enough to inhabit an asteroid in the central part of Vincennes Nebula. The asteroid was hollowed by tunnels without much planning or control, and towards 700 AGS the facility literally started to fall apart. With many parts of the asteroid depressurized, pirates that stayed there (most of them were Gallic Brigands at that moment) chose to leave. Maquis, a newly emerged group, soon chose the place to become one of their primary bases. Maquis and later Council invested a large amount of resources in returning the asteroid base to habitability.

These days, Avon is still far from being a reliable facility, with dozens of unexplored tunnels and pathways. Pressurization problems still emerge from time to time. However, the base does fulfil most housing and security needs of the numerous Maquis who live there. Maquis pilots that use Avon as a base for operations have to be very cautious, since the whole of Ile-de-France space is tightly controlled by the Royal forces. Maquis patrols are scarce and prefer to stay away from trade lanes. Most recon is gathered by mercenaries of various sorts who frequent the station. None of them are part of Maquis or any other faction, and most operate a small legal shipping business. Needless to say that the goods they carry to and from Avon are not always legal. Maquis themselves trade quite a lot, using desolate areas of Ile-de-France to reach jump holes into neighboring systems. The black market on Avon is rather diverse. These days, the station has become known as a reliable source of nanocapacitors.
