	Hidden from the major powers (or at least not acknowledged by them) is a former Centauri listening post on the edge of the asteroid field. Disguised as just another asteroid, the location now functions as a smuggler's haven. Various criminals took up temporary residence in the early 2050's 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.

There is no Bay 7 - the space originally set aside for it was used to reinforce the internal structure when the station was converted from military use. There is also a limited repair yard capable of retrofitting a single transport at a time. The docking bays are the only section kept at 0G, though select areas have (low) gravity enabled for transit or repairs.		Each docking bay has space set aside to hold several shuttles.
