The Orestes IX Communications Station is a comms facility in the service of the Terran Confederation. It orbits Orestes IX in the Orestes System, a territory of the Union of Border Worlds.
The Orestes IX Communications Station was the target of the Border Worlds during the Border Worlds Conflict of 2673. The crew of the BWS Intrepid were investigating illegal Confed activity within their airspace while in Orestes, but were lacking vital intelligence. They discovered the comms station orbiting Orestes IX and deduced that it was likely relaying the battlefield intelligence they sought. It was decided that the station would be raided.
Colonel Christopher Blair dispatched two operatives to the station, Velina Sosa and Winston "Vagabond" Chang via Manned Insertion Pods. They infiltrated the station's databases while Blair held off the station patrols. Sosa and Vagabond were able to collect the intelligence, but were attacked by station guards. Vagabond was killed buying time for Sosa to escape. Sosa returned and relayed the intel to Captain William Eisen, who was leading the investigation into Confed's activities.
