The Blazing Umbra Station is a 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.

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.
