The Gold Station

Named after the gold-like coating around it, this space station orbits a lone star in a zone of low stellar density. The station appears to be human in origin, but bears no obvious insignia. While it has been breached and examined, not much has been uncovered. Large, optical telescopes seems to have been aimed toward the sun, and much of the interior is composed of mirrors, crystals, prisms and lenses, arranged in strange patterns, all arranged on small, adjustable arms. Vast banks of cogitators seem to have controlled these, and the multitude of thrusters on the outer shell suggest that the station's orbit was once geostationary.

When the orbit and rotation angles the station's telescopes at the sun, a remarkable display of light is seen for an instant, until the spinning once again angles the telescopes at empty space. The exact purpose of this device is unknown, and no plausible theories have yet been laid forth. For now, the station rests undisturbed, as it lies in unfavourable Warp currents.
