Ship Name: Earth-Luna L5 Station Stellvia
Created by Rob Kelk
Registry Number: L5-A
Base Hull: Six NASA Space Shuttle main fuel tanks welded together, supplemented with four years of steady construction
Drive Type: Speed (gravity drive) (max velocity 0.000001c)
Owner of Record: Stellvia Corp. (wholly-owned by Noah Scott)
Flag of Record: Australia (formerly United States of America)
Purpose: Tourist Resort / Trading Station
Launched: 4 April 2008
Crew:
* N. Scott (Commander)
* Y. Nikaido (Security Chief, "Number One")
* S. Hasegawa (Chief Engineer)
* K. Li (Engineer)
* Y. Fujisawa (Pilot)
* many others, as-yet-unnamed
Known Vehicle Quirks:
None. (Yes, "none". It's a space station where the only 'wavium used is in the hull and the gravity tech (drive and artificial gravity) - quirky gravtech gets ripped and replaced to keep the customers happy, and what can possibly be quirky about a hull?)
Known Crew Quirks:
See the writeups in the Characters Thread.
Faction: Non-Aligned
Home Port: Itself.
Current Location: Earth-Luna L5 Point
Status: ACTIVE / Background
Trivia:
* While many fen craft are named after fictional ships and stations, the Stellvia is one of the few whose name was licenced by the owner from the writer who coined the name.
* Stellvia beat the Warsie L5 base into operation by exactly one month - that base could have been operational earlier, but the Warsies wanted to open it on Star Wars Day, May the Fourth (be with you) 2008.

The engines were twin ion thrusters (photo) before being handwaved.
