"This sector was once occupied by the Argon Federation's largest station, the Antigone. It was attacked in 215 by the largest Xenon fleet known to date. The station launched its defence fleet when one of the Xenon ships fired into the docking bays, destroying several fighter wings and setting off a chain reaction from damaged propulsion systems in the process. The station was destroyed, killing thousands of people. Some crew and visitors managed to make it out through emergency escape pods that were recovered once the Xenon had retreated. In one of the largest recovery efforts ever made by the Argon, medevac ships were dispatched to assist. One of these, the Springbird, was attacked while leaving the sector, forcing it into the atmosphere of the planet 'Sandwell'. All contact was subsequently lost. The recovery operation was extended to find survivors on the planet surface, none were ever located, perhaps due to the scorching heat from the local star. The outpost has now become a place of remembrance for the many Argon who travel here to honour their war dead."
