Herta Space Station

The Herta Space Station—a massive, museum-like starship built by the genius Herta to seal rare curios and artifacts—is currently operating as a bustling, yet somewhat chaotic research hub following its recovery from major crises.

A sweet-tempered and elegant scholar, and Member #81 of the Genius Society. An expert in the biological sciences. She earned Nous' attention with her talent and terrifying perseverance, and began her research on the origin of life in a secret corner of the universe. Because of that, she was invited by Herta to collaborate with Screwllum and Stephen to develop the Simulated Universe. Secretly, she greatly enjoys traditional theater and desserts, and she is also very interested in embroidery. Ruan Mei is a young woman with turquoise eyes, fair skin and long brown hair with turquoise streaks that is loosely tied with a golden colored DNA hairpin. She wears a pearl earring on her left ear and a pearl necklace around her neck. She wears an elegant, short qipao colored a dark teal, brown, and white with gold highlights, elbow-length gloves a slightly darker color and a silver bangle around her left wrist. She also has flowers on the center-left side of her hips. Her right thigh has a teal-colored thigh garter shaped like a double-helix DNA strand with a flower in the middle. She also wears closed-toe, dark teal high heels with gold patterns.

A puppet of Herta, Member #83 of the Genius Society and master of the eponymous Herta Space Station, modeled after her younger self. Herta takes the form of a ball-jointed puppet depicting a petite young woman which, according to herself, is about 70% accurate to her child self, with long ash brown hair and purple eyes. She also has matching purple nail polish on each finger. She wears a frilled white minidress with a lilac diamond motif under a black and purple coat that exposes her shoulders, adorned with a golden lock and chain pinned around her torso. She also wears a black beret decorated with a purple flower, and a purple choker with a small key hanging from it. Her footwear of choice is a pair of dark purple and white heeled boots accessorized with gold safety pins and two indigo ribbons. Herta space station's true master. As the human with the highest IQ on the Blue, she only does what she's interested in, dropping projects the moment she loses interest — the best example being the space station. She typically appears in the form of a remote-controlled puppet.
"It's about seventy percent similar to how I looked as a child." — Herta

She is the inquisitive lead astronomer responsible for handling the Herta Space Station's affairs, including managing the staff and responding to the Intelligentsia Guild. Asta is a slim built young woman (21 y-o) with pink hair, a fair complexion and light blue eyes. She wears a collared white shirt with loose, detached sleeves and ruffles, a black bowtie, and a black skirt with gold accents covered with a ruffled purple overcoat. Around her waist is an unzipped pink and white colored jacket with numerous buckled belts of varying colors. She sports a lanyard around her neck with an identification card and black heels. A fiercely inquisitive and energetic young girl. She is the Lead Researcher of the space station Herta. Whether it is managing opinionated staff, or courteously but firmly responding to the Intelligentsia Guild's devious demands, Asta handles it all effortlessly. After all... commanding a space station is much easier than taking over the family business!

He is the head of Herta Space Station's security department, often seen with a dog named Peppy. Arlan is a short young man (19 y-o) with a dark complexion and pink eyes. He has white hair with black tips, with some tied into a small ponytail. He wears a beige vest with one long sleeve and one sleeveless shoulder, a black, high-collared undershirt, blue trousers and black boots. Around his chest is a black compass with coloured highlights on a blue strap, with an identification card hanging over it. He sports metal shoulder pads and an elbow pad; a knee guard and a shin guard on one leg; a blue armband with the insignia of the Herta Space Station; mismatched gloves, one metallic and one white; and two pouches strapped to one leg. He has a scar over his nose and on his exposed forearm. While scientific research is beyond his understanding, Arlan is willing to risk his life to protect the staff who value research so very much. He is used to pain and wears his scars like badges of honor.

The Seclusion Zone used to be a major research facility for cutting-edge experimentation, offering convenient conditions for high-risk experiments conducted between the shuttles, laboratories, and the greenhouse. The zone sealed off after Ruan Mei began to conduct her experiments, which resulted in a Swarm outbreak along with a clone of the Emanator of Propagation, Skaracabaz. The Trailblazer investigated this zone on Ruan Mei's behalf during one of her rare visits to the station, during which the clone emerged from the incubator and fought them. However, it died off after 56 seconds, unable to sustain its own existence. While the Swarm still has a small presence in the area, it is now primarily occupied by Ruan Mei's Creations, who mostly reside in the Breeding Ground and Pharmaceutical Room.

The Supply Zone is the logistics hub of the space station. It has all manner of resources stored within its confines, supervises an energy core, and its equipped with a fully established railway platform. It stands as an essential junction for operations and maintenance aboard the space station. If things ever got out of hand and the master control zone was doomed to be destroyed, researchers would take the evacuation route and rush towards the supply zone, where all the external relief ships are docked along the Railway Platform.

The Storage Zone is used to house curios. Gigantic pathways can be found in the center, snaking through the upper and lower level rooms where different departments store their collections. The Gallery of Shadow is Madam Herta's personal gallery, sealed away all year round, and only Herta herself has access to entry. To the researchers, the gallery is no more than something to base their stories on, but it was opened by the Stellaron Hunters in order to place the Stellaron being stored there inside the Trailblazer during the Antimatter Legion attack.

The Base Zone is the core section between the two-stage structure separating the starship and the space station. It is the section where researchers partake in their primary daily activities. The reception center is located in the base zone, at the back of the space elevator. It is the first room to greet the station's visitors. Many people come here to see its splendor for themselves, but they are not allowed any further, and can only watch the proud researchers with admiration. The Medical Cabin is the medical facility and pride of the space station, said to be able to drag anyone back from the brink of death. Research projects in the station are always accompanied by unknown risks, and therefore the medical cabin is packed at all times.

The Master Control Zone can be detached from the station, capable of traversing the Cosmos on its own. It serves as the brain of operations when attached to the main body of the space station. On both sides of the master control zone and at its entrance is a huge wall consisting of numerous screens for surveillance. This system offers visuals on everything happening on the parameter of the space station with no blind spot. The system also boasts a sniper platform with roadblocks, capable of handling unknown threats, and a defense projection platform that can generate an anti-gravity shield over the space station. The watcher zone is used to monitor the real-time status of the station's energy supply and the conditions of other zones. Together with the master control zone, these two areas form the core of the space station, offering an integrated system with strong capacities for observing, monitoring, defense, and attack.
