The Blazing Umbra Station is a Class K Space Station operated by Solas Tempus facility orbiting Shatten III in the Schatten Star System. The facility's location is kept largely secret from the general public, though it is not in an of itself classified. The star system it resides it makes it an excellent research and development facility, though recently the Action Arm of Solas Tempus due to the effects of subspace anomalies within the system with some surprising and largely unexplained effects.
Unique Modifications
The stations design differs from its base design in several ways. For one, Deck 9 where the Station Manager's office would normally go and a conference room would be in the base designs, houses station operations on the entire deck. Where the conference table would be in the base design is a holographic and touch interface computer table and several others key stations are on that deck as well.
= Flight Deck
In the base design of the flight deck there is room for only two vessels and minimal support. This has been greatly expanded in the design used by Solas Tempus. The new shuttle bay design goes from deck 32 to 39 and is now large enough to hold a full compliment of support vessels, now nearly as wide as the main part of the primary hull across those decks.

Power Source
The station's primary power system is a set of 4 Matter/Anti-Matter reactors which use high energy plasma to distribute energy throughout the station. As a backup power supply fusion reactors are placed at strategic points throughout the station, usually inactive or only providing partial power during maintenance operations.

Origins
The station's origin is largely unknown. Explorations by the USS Genesis found the station, completely intact, in the uninhabited star system. The systems anomalies make extremely difficult to travel too and from, so the station's existence was paradoxical. Further more, the station was already configured with an inactive, but completely functional, HAL 9000 hub. The power systems on the station were also completely depleted. Once restored the station's markings were of a Solas Tempus facility with the name of Blazing Umbra Station. The origin of this has long puzzled Solas Tempus officials and has been classified top secret by the Admiralty.
Cover
The cover story that the station was purchased in pieces and assembled over the course over the course of 2 years before being brought online remains accepted and intact. Research into the stations past is restricted.
