Disguised as just another asteroid, the location functions as a smuggler's haven. Various criminals took up temporary residence while waiting for the Babylon station to be built, but the destruction of four separate stations has caused them to view the base as a long-term port of call. The base's original name has been forgotten, but the locals call it Babel, or "the Tower" if they want to avoid using a proper name. |
− | The most notable feature of Babel is that it has artificial gravity. By default, this is set at one standard gravity (1g), though during an attempted takeover in 2254 the gravity suddenly shifted to 1.5 g. The station enforcers were prepared for the change, which gave them the edge they needed to secure Babel | + | The most notable feature of Babel is that it has artificial gravity.
