Fortress Athaim

Common Knowledge: 

This is a permanent, well armed free-trade waystation that is built from the shell of an old battlecruiser fused into a dense metallic asteroid. Athaim is a well armed and armoured fortress.   Athaim is staunchly independent, and operates as a waystation for all. Within the control zone of the Fortress they do not allow any factional fighting or piracy, and the Black Tooth generally respect that stance.  

Insider Knowledge: 

This outpost is maintained covertly by the Exploritorum Prima, it is a significant information-gathering location for the Exploritorum. It's one of the branches of the Adeptus Munitorum responsible for gathering equipment and supplies for the Sleastatt Dynasty. Due to it's location, it is considered a prime asset, and as such has maintained it's cover as an independent outpost.   It trades with local scavengers, even people aligned with the Syndicate or the Black tooth in order to maintain the front of being a 'free trade' outpost, although everyone that works at Athaim report back to the Exploritorum Prima.
