This station was originally posted on the BattleTech forum by... someone... sorry I forget who.  My thanks to the original designer I've modded it slightly (which I did by hand so hopefully I got my math right)

The AR-15 is a custom weapon of this AU and is detailed on this thread

Overview
Following the destruction of Galatea the system could have ended up
like a hundred other dead systems if not for its population and the various guilds
and bands who had an interest in the system and in having a meeting place.

Lyran Commonwealth, the Isle of Skye, the MRBC, Clan Sea Fox and Clan
Mountain Wolf.
