The Venom Orbital Shipyard, was the second decommissioned RHA Battle Station that the Venom Pirates stole under the guise of a space station recycling company. The Pirates needed a place that was dedicated to repairng thier ships and thus the older battle station was heavily modified to be a working dry dock. Over the years the station was upgraded with heavy cargo docks. All but two hyper Decimation cannons were removed to make room for extra docks for Mad Dog Class Heavy Space Tugs on the top side, and ship building room on the lower side.
The Venom Pirates were well known for stealing raw materials, and weapons smuggling, the majority of which went into building this station and maintaining and modifiying their fleet of small star ships. Later on they began building their own star fighters, and soon after that they began making capital ships. The Snake Head (featured here) was their first ever capital ship. Its second Capital ship the Hellphire was also built here.
When the Red Eye Pirates rose to power they brought their ships to the station to be outfitted with weapons, repaired, and rebuilt. They even commssioned new capital ships to be built, such as Red Eye's personal ship the Impure soul, and The Fear Class Dreadnaught. This later backfired on the Venom Pirates when Red Eye double crossed them and used these ships seize control of several Venom Pirate Smuggling posts. It was around this time that the Venom Pirates placed automated satalite turrets to protect the Ship yard.
The Venom Pirates managed to hold a majority control over the Venom Star System thanks to its fortified command center and this ship yard. In the end at the battle of Pirates Last Stand, the Venom Pirates surrenderd both stations to the RHA fleet. Today the Ship yard remains operational, with many investors looking to buy it and its assets.

Follow me:
The Doctor left an encrypted holo-communicator for Benny. And after a few minutes a call came in.
«A mutual friend told me that you have a problem. Maybe I can solve it… I know where to find “the Maker”. Aren’t you looking for him?»
Benny doesn’t know if he should be pleased or worried. Something doesn’t convince him. But fixing Mr. Robot is too damn important. «Fine! I’m sending you Outpost Alpha’s coordinates!» says Benny.
«No need to! We perfectly know where you live!» replies the mysterious caller «We’ll be there in no time! And remember… don’t say anything to anyone! That’s the most important thing!»

Toy Project Day 1507
The International Space Station is seen gliding across the Milky Way at dawn twilight...if you follow the ISS path from left to right, over near the right edge of the image is the Andromeda Galaxy. Under the right conditions you can see Andromeda with the naked eye, it is the farthest away object you can see without a telescope. Additionally, above the horizon at left there is just the barest hint of some aurora, visible as faint purple.

The Necropolis Corridor takes seven standard cycles.
The Necropolis Corridor, a notorious stretch of space, demands an arduous passage. The journey through its treacherous expanse is officially estimated to consume seven standard cycles, a duration that underscores the inherent dangers and the mandatory precautions required for survival. While a theoretical minimum of 5 standard cycles might be achievable under exceptionally fortunate circumstances, such an optimistic timeframe is rarely realised due to the constant and unpredictable challenges presented by the corridor.
The primary factor contributing to this extended travel time is the prevalence of hazardous conditions. The corridor is riddled with fluctuating gravitational fields, unpredictable energy surges, and localised temporal distortions. These phenomena necessitate constant recalibration of navigational systems and demand extreme caution to avoid catastrophic structural failure or temporal displacement. It is a graveyard of unfortunate voyages. Dense fields of wreckage, ranging from microscopic particles to colossal remnants of starships, pose a constant threat of collision. Maneuvering through these fields requires meticulous piloting and significantly reduced speeds to prevent impact. It contains powerful and unpredictable electromagnetic storms that frequently erupt within the corridor, disrupting communications, disabling shields, and interfering with propulsion systems. Navigating these storms demands complete shutdown of non-essential systems and a crawl-like pace to mitigate damage. There are stories, and confirmed reports suggest the occasional presence of opportunistic scavengers or even sentient predatory species that thrive in the hazardous environment. While not a constant threat, their potential presence necessitates vigilance and a readiness for evasive maneuvers, further slowing progress.
These pervasive dangers necessitate reduced speeds throughout the entire journey. Attempting to traverse the corridor at standard transit speeds would exponentially increase the risk of catastrophic failure. Pilots must maintain a vigilant watch, constantly adjusting their vectors, engaging evasive maneuvers, and frequently entering periods of complete standstill to assess the ever-changing hazards. The cumulative effect of these necessary decelerations and stoppages accounts for the extended seven standard cycles required to navigate this perilous thoroughfare successfully. The Necropolis Corridor is not a route for the impatient or the unwary; it is a test of endurance, skill, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

Not a sunspot (look at all of them!):
Look closely, and you'll see the International Space Station (carrying seven humans) traveling at 17,500 mph caught Monday, passing in front of the Sun, visible through thin clouds from the Space Coast of Florida.
This was taken last night as the Space Station flew past. I was hoping to get Mount Hood in the shot but it was in the wrong place.
A high fidelity test version of NASA’s Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), the largest plant chamber built for the agency, arrived at Kennedy Space Center the third week of November, 2016. The APH unit, containing small flowering plant seeds, will be delivered to the International Space Station in 2017. via NASA ift.tt/2fremIw
iss044e045215 --- As if the Milky Way in this photo wasn’t enough, Astronaut Kjell Lindgren captured a lightning strike from space so bright that it lights up the space station’s solar panels.
He posted this on Twitter and Instagram on Sept. 2 saying "Large lightning strike on Earth lights up or solar panels."
The tree seems to be waving to the nice spacemen high above.
Smoke in the valley below is probably not an unusual occurence in the life of this Bristlecone Pine Tree which has perhaps stood on this location for a thousand years. Nor would it be unusual for the tree to witness the passage of million points of light above. But the passage of men in a thin walled tube hurtling 260 miles overhead at in the heavens is a recent occurence.
This is a combination of two shots. One taken early in the evening, one later when the tree was painted with an LED flashlight reflected off of my hand to reduce the blue cast. Each image was 1250 ISO for 1 minute, f/2.8, 14mm.

This is a montage of ISS close up captures, our best to date, from 7th and 11th August passes over our home ;0)
To achieve these shots as soon as the ISS came into our view (West) Simon tracked via the finderscope manually, continuously readjusting to keep in view, I watched on the live view scrn of our DSLR, as the ISS zoomed across the scrn I clicked away! #SpotTheStation
Prime focus single shots, using our Canon 600D attached to our Maksutov 127mm telescope, settings used: Manual Mode, ISO 800, 1/500 & 1/800
We are absolutely thrilled that one of the close ups has been included on the Sky at Nights August viewers gallery!
Thanks Abner Finley for allowing me to use the original picture that he took of my ISS at Brick Fiesta 2016.
Expedition 73 continued exploring how microgravity affects blood flow to help doctors protect crews staying longer in space and traveling farther away from Earth. The International Space Station residents also kept up preparations for an upcoming U.S. cargo mission while maintaining orbital lab systems. But while the astronauts were busy with their science experiments, they also took some time to take a few photos of Earth.
In this image, the city lights of Sub-Saharan Africa streak below the space station as it orbited above the Tanzania-Zambia border in this long-duration photograph. At top right, lightning storms illuminate the cloud tops with the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft docked to the Prichal module in the foreground.
Keep up with their mission at https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/

New Triscalia (Planet Tatu)
100% Star Trek RP. The Full on Star Trek Experience. From Academy Cadet to Star Fleet Officer. It's all here. How far will you go?. Real ships, real space, and real people.
Triscalia I
The sun in the Agonian system has gone nova. Forcing the people on Argonia to find a new home.
They did just that. Now settling on the planet Tatu the former Argonians are now Tatuines. As they build and acclamate to a new surrounding, Star Fleet business revs up again. The Academy on Tatu has opened and the space station is fully functional. New adventures await this recoursful lott.
But what awaits them is the question.
I just got word from then man: We're late again!
Yesterday morning I was quite relaxed before Explore hit me hard. I had a vague idea what I wanted to do for the 350th follower, but at 343 that's quite a while to go, no need to do something hasty. Now I'm well beyond 370 with 33 new followers, thanks to having the 3rd place in Explore.
So hello new folks and thanks to my constant followers, bearing with my erratic photographing of everything I deem interesing.

A series of RAW frames combined in my star stacking application (Advanced Stacker) to create the ISS light streak itself then combine with one later frame for the starry background (to eliminate the star trails) and various other adjustments. #SpotTheStation
The Storm in my looking glass:
A close-up of JB’s face behind the curved glass of the cryo-cocoon. The glass reflects not the room but a "relentless tempest" of swirling dark clouds and lightning, symbolising his churning thoughts. In the storm's reflection, a ghostly older version of JB is visible, trapped and silent, mirroring the pilot's current state.

Guests and astronomers doing some stargazing on a fine summer night at the annual Rothney Observatory Milky Way Nights for July 25, 2019. The light dome from Calgary is at left. This is looking east. The streak is the ISS flying away to the east in a bright overhead pass this night.
A single exposure with the Sony a7 III and 15mm Laowa lens at f/2. A Luminar Flex soft glow effect added.
Just a small detail, the first aid kit has been replaced by a medical robot.
Addition to Toy Project Day 3744
The International Space Station – the bright streak – shoots across the Milky Way amid the Summer Triangle stars on May 29, 2017 during one of its several passes this night. Other fainter satellite trails are also visible. Vega is at top, Deneb at left, Altair at right — the three stars of the Summer Triangle.
This is a stack of 3 x 1-minute exposures with the 35mm lens at f/2.2 and Canon 6D at ISO 1250, with the camera on the Star Adventurer Mini tracker. High haze added the natural star glows – no filter was employed. The trail gaps are from the 1 second interval between exposures.
An experimental module attached to the International Space Station is being prepared for upcoming cargo operations. Tiny research satellites were also ejected from the orbital lab while a pair of Expedition 53 crew members scanned their leg muscles today.
