The installation known as '''Rest Stop''' is located in the system in the Deep Periphery cataloged by the [[Star League]] as '''SLSC M9III.2855''', located some 90 light-years spinward and coreward of the [[Taumaturgo]] system. The system itself is unremarkable, consisting of three planets - an inner world that is nothing more than an airless rock, and two gas giants - and a pair of asteroid belts. The star located at the heart of the system was considered notable by the Star League because of its prominence in the local region; as a red giant, it is easily identifiable by lost [[JumpShip]]s using even rudimentary navigational equipment. It was this feature that apparently led to the Star League constructing a recharge station at the star's nadir jump point.<ref name=ISP3p71/>

The system itself is unremarkable, consisting of three planets - an inner world that is nothing more than an airless rock, and two gas giants - and a pair of asteroid belts. The star located at the heart of the system was considered notable by the Star League because of its prominance in the local region; as a red giant, it is easily identifiable by lost [[JumpShip]]s using even rudimentary navigational equipment. It was this feature that apparently led to the Star League constructing a recharge station at the star's nadir jump point.<ref name=ISP3p71/>
  
 
The recharge station remained functional even after the Star League fell and was used by a range of people including stragglers attempting to follow [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] and a multitude of explorers and bandits. [[Interstellar Expeditions]] discovered the installation in [[2995]] and established a presence there, one which became increasingly widely known over the next century. While this led to bandits attempting to target the installation, it also attracted others such as businesses - one example of which was the ''[[Spinward Showgirl]]'', a [[DropShip]] that contained a large bar and a brothel. Rest Stop remained popular with IE teams as a stopping point en route to destinations farther out in the Deep Periphery, but by [[3095]] bandit activity had increased to enough of an extent that while IE personnel and ships were still largely unthreatened - thanks to their firepower - the IE board identified it may need to locate a permanent security force at the facility if it wished to continue to use Rest Stop.<ref name=ISP3p71/>
