Drifting serenely around Nebet in a leisurely orbit, with the endless expanse of the gas giant's immense ring system stretching out below it, Memphis is a large amalgamated industrial station, an unexpected sight this far from house civilization. With its exhaust stacks and cylindrical centrifuge modules, it makes a markedly different appearance than the military and survival-oriented stations more typical of the Eastern Omicrons. While not hidden, it is hardly a location any pilot would visit by accident, and there is very little traffic going to and from its bays.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Memphis Industrial, a subsidiary of ALG Waste Disposal.
If you are reading this message, it means you are a holder of Silver Level Clearance or higher per the Space Regulations of the Order Overwatch, and are thus permitted to traverse and conduct business within Omicron Mu.
Since our foundation on November 4th, 833, we endeavor to bring our expertise in metallurgical and chemical industry to a region otherwise lacking in offerings in these sectors. Following our company's focus across Sirius, we specialize in the reconstitution of waste products in an area with difficult access to raw materials, where efficiency becomes necessity.
Our smelters produce a variety of structural and specialized alloys, and our nuclear refinement plant produces fission fuel in various grades. We are also able to accommodate special manufacturing orders with advanced notice, and can offer service and parts replacement for ships.
Memphis Industrial, lobby
The lobby on Memphis is an unusual environment. This far from civilization, little remains of the sleek, streamlined trappings of a corporate base within the houses, both in appearance and in administration. There is a check-in process, but it's quick, informal, just an ID check and little more. No wait times here - not enough ships visit the station to create any. Small groups of people, mostly company pilots and some of the few visitors the station receives, are lounging in the area, waiting for refueling or cargo transfers to finish.
Everything is still brand new on the station, and some of it unfinished - some of the wall segments are furnished completely and even feature abstract artwork, others are blank, and still others, the ones off in the corners, don't even have paneling to cover the electrical lines. In the background, despite the best efforts at soundproofing, the distant clunks and whirs of machinery can be heard.
It is a unique environment; not martial like the stations of the Order or the Core, not rowdy like the Freeports and outlaw stations of the region, nor slick and polished like corporate stations in the houses. A remote but established, rough but secure, efficient but spartan industrial station.
Manufacturing at Memphis
2. Manufacturing & Sales
Memphis houses two main manufacturing segments: The foundry, located in the east wing, and the nuclear enrichment centrifuges, located in the lower wing. Our main manufactured products are a range of structural alloys and fission fuel.
Common usage Ti6Al2Sn4Zr2Mo aerospace titanium alloy is generally available without pre-order, as is 3.7% Pu rated MOX. Other alloys and mixed oxide fuels can be manufactured with advance notice.
To fuel the manufacturing process, the station receives metallurgical and chemical waste from regional manufacturing and salvage and will offer standardized rates by tonnage.
Memphis also operates a hydroponics farming segment to ensure food security, and can offer surplus from its production.
Besides bulk goods, specialized ship components such as reactor elements, electrical circuitry, and cooling systems can be constructed to order. It is advisable to place such orders with sufficient time allowance, as imports of trace elements into the region are time-consuming.

Much of the station - the manufacturing segments and the crew quarters - are off limits to visitors, but there is a limited range of recreational facilities available to the public. These are arranged around the central corridor junction which forms a plaza of sorts. Smoke & Steam, the station's public restaurant and bar, offers filling meals and strong drink in a casual atmosphere. The visitor should set their expectations according to the base's remote location: High starch based foods that offer the best yields for the station's limited space and a handful of high proof distilled beverages make up most of the narrow selection on offer. Employees spending their off time here will readily ask travelers for news from the core worlds, or offer a game of cards or pool.
Adjacent to the bar lie the other recreational offerings - a gymnasium, library and computer center, and a small market with exorbitantly priced consumer products imported from the houses, as well as the station's guest housing facility.
Much of the station's foot and shuttle cart traffic crosses here, and almost gives the impression of a more central locale than it is.
3. Registration
Docking registration is generally open to any parties subject to two conditions.
Barring individual exemptions granted by the Overwatch, these conditions are currently fulfilled by the following parties:
ALG, Bundschuh, Gas Miners Guild, Independent Miners Guild, Lane Hackers, and Zoners.
Vessels belonging to the Order have open access to the station without prior registration.
Any individual or group affiliated with these parties may request docking access. By signing the registration form, the individual or group agrees not to engage in activity in relation to Memphis Industrial which is considered unlawful by the Order Overwatch.
Parties seeking registration must fill this form truthfully and submit it in this channel.

▪ Name of group or individual: Falcon Enterprises ▪ Ship callsign or group tag: FE| ▪ Identification: Freelancer ID/IFF ▪ Notes: We're an Omicron shipping company.
Apologies, but as mentioned in the form, registration is only open to parties possessing Silver Level Clearance per the Space Regulations of the Order Overwatch. We can't find records of your organization in their registry.
If you have any arrangement with the Overwatch that hasn't been processed, please send us the details.
▪ Name of group or individual: The Kongsi Syndicate ▪ Ship callsign or group tag: ^Y^ ▪ Identification: IMG ▪ Notes: I believe your dockmasters are already familiar with us, as we've provided heavy escort for the Ozean on at least one occasion, but it's nice to have a record of these things on the off-chance we find ourselves so far out again.
Your organization was indeed registered after that trip around a month ago, but you can consider this a formalization thereof. We greatly appreciate when our allies lend a hand in these troubled regions.
▪ Name of group or individual: Orex Industries ▪ Ship callsign or group tag: [|O|]- ▪ Identification: Zoners ▪ Notes: As per your instructions, we're sending the necessary paperwork required for docking clearance.
Shipping Directorate has informed us of your organization. We are happy to welcome Zoner affiliates at Memphis, and look forward to a productive business relationship.
With the setup of our production lines reaching a more finalized state, we've been able to significantly streamline the manufacture of shipboard technology. At the time of this writing, we have export stores of around 11 000 standard units of Prototype Components, for which we have lowered the price to 1 800 sc for our default equivalent value package.
A few of our other prices have received smaller adjustments, with both exports and imports receiving a slight boost.
Given the unfortunate timing of this message, I've been advised to reaffirm that this is not a joke.
