A point of return #
Veba-D773 is a Peacekeeper station contacted by the Calyster in Peacekeeper: Prequel. Its response includes permission to dock, placing the ship inside a wider system of procedures and infrastructure. The station is therefore more than a name along a route. It gives readers a glimpse of how a mobile crew relates to a fixed place, and of the practical language used when one working unit communicates with another.
Infrastructure as part of the setting #
Consider how an arrival changes the kind of activity a story can show. Travel and immediate decisions can give way to reporting, maintenance or ordinary conversation, depending on what the novel chooses to emphasize. Those possibilities are interpretive questions rather than a list of events promised here. The station’s exact geography, population, design and full history are not established by this brief orientation. Retain the distinction between a verified docking reference and a complete account of a fictional location.
