Junction Base is a wrecked starbase located in the remote system of Kansas. Nobody knows who built it, or why it was destroyed. Its presence in the middle of an asteroid field leaves much to speculation, as does the mysterious fact that all optronic devices on board the station were physically removed and smashed with blunt objects at about the same time the station was abandoned.

Neo-Terran Involvement

The Neo-Terran Front took up residence in Kansas for roughly a year, and set themselves to the task of repairing the station. They made several backroom deals to get the necessary materials and labor to repair the station. Progress was slow, however, and the Front was unable to effect major repairs on Junction before they were driven out of the Kansas system. Junction was captured by LSF marines in the midst of the NTF's frenzied evacuation.

Current Status

As of 818 AS, the station can still be classified as a wreck. Most of the main section has been successfully repressurized, and Junction's MOX-fueled backup generators can presumably still function. However, the severe damage the station took when it was originally abandoned was never competently repaired, the primary fusion generator still has a gaping hole in it, and there are no functional docking bays or mooring points. A repair job would be possible in theory, but would require fairly large amounts of time and effort.
