Earth Sector~Staff Constellation~New Scotland~VBN City

First built in the skies over New Scotland during the aftermath of the Crystal Planet's destruction, the Vell Bralis Nova Orbital City was sealed off and abandonned after the Endurium ban took effect.  The discovery of Shyneum at the outset of the Leghk Crusade brought VBN roaring back to life.  It now serves as a way station on the journey to Earth and the ruins of the Old Empire.  The image below shows damage sustained during the Vell Bralis Nova Incident of 4641.  Note heavy damage to the shipyards (left).  Making the initial approach to the docking ring, ISS Betty Lace is in the foreground.
