Hollowfrost Station is an imperial research station on the ice of Ruhn b, in the Ruhn system on the rim of Vesk Imperial Space. According to the Vesk Empire, it breeds cold-hardy crops and livestock for the frontier worlds, which still live on grain shipped in from the core.
The station
Low domes and greenhouse halls sit half-buried in the glacier, with a landing pad, a comms mast and a sealed archive level below the ice. About four hundred staff serve there on rotation from the core worlds. A Legion garrison guards the station; the miners at Ruhn Deep like to say it is more guard than a farm needs.
The raid
On 120PR.0302 armed raiders broke into the station and escaped before help arrived (Raiders strike Hollowfrost Station). The Empire blames the activists of The Open Hand.
The official inquiry found that the raiders landed during the one hour each week when the orbital patrol is on the far side of Ruhn b, and that they opened the inner doors with the station's current access codes.
