La Fere was built in 364 AGS, only ten years after the nearby Saint-Quentin colony was constructed. Ironically, convicts were employed for the prison's construction, and they lived in Saint-Quentin until La Fere was completed. While they did not form the majority of the construction workers, they did make several attempts to sabotage the site, and one such attempt was successful, when a newly delivered docking bay was blown up by a powerful explosive commonly used for asteroid mining. There was only one casualty however: the convict who attempted to plant the bomb. Tensions between workers and prisoners increased so much that several bloody encounters took place in the remote hallways of Saint-Quentin. Security was increased both on the station and the construction site, and many convicts were replaced with Ile-de-France workers. The remaining convicts frequently experienced spacesuit and equipment malfunctions, and many did not survive to see La Fere completed, or sustained heavy injuries. Since then, convicts were never used for space construction anywhere across Gallia, possibly with the exception of Slaves being used for construction of pirate bases.

La Fere is possibly the worst and most hated space prison currently maintained in Gallia. It is not a particularly large facility, and it suffers from extensive overpopulation, since dangerous criminals convicted on Amiens are always brought to La Fere, and the crime rate on the planet is rather high. In recent years, many people convicted for collaborating with the Council and Maquis ended up on the station as well. Harsh conditions and constant complaints forced the Crown to investigate La Fere's actual circumstances, and in 724 AGS the warden of the prison was demoted. However, prison renovation plans were halted by the new war that Gallia is fighting in Sirius.
