Geostation Kessler

Anarchist research base & orbital waste management system

Vessel Specifications: category XK-1, Firkin class (>15,000,000 souls)

Immense, intricate, improbably mobile; Geostation Kessler defies convention and description alike as it drifts between the stars. From its perch within an asteroid belt or in a host planet’s upper orbit, it reaches out its bright arms to gather up the detritus of the galaxy. From atmospheric contamination to broken satellites, launch window trash to stricken spacecraft: if it can be caught by a tractor beam, it will be drawn into Kessler to be scanned, categorized, cleaned and studied. Whatever Kessler finds, it keeps – or else sells to the highest bidder.
