Olympus Station is a 2660s-era space station in the service of the Terran Confederation. It is located in the orbit of Ghorah Khar, a separatist Kilrathi colony.
During the 2650s, the population of Ghorah Khar became discontent with the brutal reign under which they were ruled by the Kilrathi Empire, and along with a number of other frontier systems, rebelled against the Empire. These systems sought to join the Terran Confederation, which the Terrans gratefully accepted after relations were formally established. Desperate to ensure their structural integrity, the Empire repeatedly tried to retake Ghorah Khar in the decade that followed, forcing the Confederation to set up military outposts throughout the system in order to ensure the protection of the Kilrathi separatists. Among these stations was Olympus Station, which was first constructed in 2659. It would defend system into the Enigma Sector Campaign of the 2660s.
In the year 2665, Ghorah Khar was once again attacked by Kilrathi Loyalists, forcing Confed to intervene. Olympus took part in the defense, but was overwhelmed. Fortunately, Captain Christopher Blair staved off the assault before any major damage could be inflicted on the station. He later repelled repeated assaults on the station before he and his home vessel, the TCS Concordia, moved on to Novaya Kiev.
Although the Enigma Sector Campaign ended in a Terran victory in 2667, the Kilrathi still desired to retake Ghorah Khar. As a result, Olympus Station was once again assaulted in a series of sequential attacks, so the the Special Operations Division arrived to deal with the invaders. Colonel Christopher Blair and his allies repelled most of these attacks and ran supply shipments between Ghorah Khar and N'Tanya, another rebel system. Olympus lost several patrols in the campaign, but stood firm it its defense of Ghorah Khar.
Unfortunately, five Kilrathi carrier groups later attacked Ghorah Khar. Three of these carrier groups targeted Olympus, killing fourteen of its pilots. With Olympus out of contact with Confed forces, Colonel Blair returned to save the station. The defense was successful and Olympus Station survived, forcing the surviving carrier groups to retreat. The defense of Olympus effectively secured Ghorah Khar and the other rebel systems from the Kilrathi onslaught.
