Classic Space (Micro) Zenon Station
LL999 was commissioned in 1987 by Classic Space Command and placed into position Mars just before the Blacktron started menacing the universe causing the formation of Space Police and the dissolution of Classic Space Command. Nearly 15 years later, in 2001, Zenon Station tracked a radio signal from the Earth's Moon to Jupiter and was a refueling point for the space ship Discovery One on it's way to Jupiter to discover the receiving end of the signal. By 2010, the station was on the decline when the Russian ship Lenov docked with it trying to discover what happened to Discovery One. The Russian ship also had another purpose for vising the station: several reports had come back to Earth saying the station had seen Blacktron ships nearby. This turned out to be true, with Blacktron amassing a force to invade Earth. The force was uncovered, and the plot stoped but the damage was done: The Third Blacktron War had begun.
NOTES:
I based this ship off the Space Station V models as seen here: 2001.deckdesigns.de/ and an old LDD starter model. I then wrote it into a web of stories containing many 2001: As Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact references. The semi-official LEGO stories also helped establish Zenon Station's background. NO LDD file will be made available, as that is against the terms of the site linked to above. BUT if close up pictures are needed for anyone wanting to build this, I will provide them.
