Earth's only moon, called Luna, or simply, the Moon, was damaged in the Astral Gate explosion that left the Earth in such an inhospitable state. When the Gate exploded it blew a large jagged crater in the moon, and the resulting debris has been raining down on the planet below at regular intervals ever since, causing severe damage to the surface. Tidally locked, the satellite rotates exactly once in the same period it takes to revolve around the Earth. This means the same side is always facing the Earth, and the other remains concealed from the planet's surface.
On the far side of the moon there hides a small prefab warehouse concealed by dull grey camouflage. Used as a storage facility by unspecified criminal elements to store arms, contraband, or anything they might need to hide, it is well protected by a few dozen armed criminals, many of whom are wanted by the ISSP in connection with crimes ranging from fraud to murder.
The facility has a large storage warehouse, a hangar airlock capable of housing transport freighters, and connected living quarters for short term habitation.
Besides the criminal elements that inhabit and operate the building, The Count, a systems analyst, computer expert, and financial advisor, also seems to know about the operations. As such, he has advised Captain Reaver of the Athenian of the potential value of the men and material stationed at the base, citing that the removal of unsavory elements would be beneficial to the corporate elements he represents.
