Hukatuse Tagumik

Hidden in the heart of The Starbirth Oasis, a dilapidated space station called Hukatuse Tagumik lurks, constructed within the gravitational embrace of The Twinfire, twin stars orbiting each other in a delicate dance. Their orbit is so close that ships can only detect and safely approach the station during very specific windows when the gravitational eddies, solar flares, and volatile gasses of the nursery are calm enough to allow ingress or egress.  It finds its abode within the interstellar nursery, a seedy outpost shrouded in the majestic spectacle of cosmic birth. It is a juxtaposition of the sublime and the sordid, where the grandeur of creation intermingles with the murky underbelly of lawlessness

Hukatuse Tagumik lies as a secret refuge for the unsavory denizens of the interstellar underbelly. A murky testament to lawlessness and dubious dealings, this aging outpost attracts a kaleidoscope of smugglers, rogues, and diverse alien races seeking sanctuary within its faded corridors. Time has not been kind to Hukatuse Tagumik, leaving it worn and weathered. Not that it ever shone gloriously. Inhabitants will tell that the original structure was cobbled together from wrecks that were caught in the treacherous surroundings, ones that had naturally gathered together in the relative safety of the station’s stable position.

Over time more were added, each welded on to the other until it grew into the large and perhaps preposterous amalgam that now resides at the heart of the twin stars.  The station's exterior lights flicker intermittently, casting an otherworldly glow that dances upon its weathered metal facade. It remains an enigmatic haven, nebulous wisps of stardust keeping it veiled from prying eyes, and strong gravitational waves obscuring it from the sensors of those uninitiated into its covert existence.
