I think the L5 All-Stations insignia pretty much hints that there are at least five stations at the Earth-Luna L5 point (if not more), but we've only established two of them so far. This thread is for suggestions as to who's in the other stations. (I've come up with every scrap of data about the stations in the L5 point, excepting the physical layout of Stellvia; it's long past time to share this corner of the sandbox.)
That logo has five stars on it - one each in orange, white, yellow, green, and blue. Orange is Stellvia with its orange insignia, and white is New Yavin with its Alliance-Clonetrooper white-clad Warsie troops. That leaves three stars for three stations...
Before asking "Who's there?", perhaps we should ask "Who's not there?" If the Trekkies had a station at L5, somebody would have mentioned it by now - instead, we've established that they've got starbases at Mars and AlphaCen. Babylon .5 is in Earth orbit, not at the L5 point. And the Jossies are out in the Jovian subsystem. (Then again, the Warsies are out on Mimas, and they've got New Yavin at L5, so this last one isn't a show-stopper.)
One thought: The blue star is for the Abriel, the Ahb home base. I can imagine a few folks biomodding themselves into Ahb, and the resulting 360-degree spatial sense would make them natural astroball players. I don't know enough about Crest/Banner of the Stars to go into detail here, though...
Any ideas for the yellow and green stars, or for expanding the Abriel description?
