Aaaaaand, it's an industrial anarchy independent facility. Go figure. =/
It's in the Chankates System, which is at the edge of Federation and populated space.
A fitting start to my exploration of the beyond.
Much as I wanted to take my asp, I really felt that the sidewinder was better for screen shots (no metal bars or hud clogging up the view).
EDIT:
Thanks goes to Hayray for finding this bit of info from wikipedia about who this station was named after:
Jacques Piccard (28 July 1922 – 1 November 2008) was a Swiss oceanographer and engineer, known for having developed underwater vehicles for studying ocean currents. He and Lt. Don Walsh of the United States Navy were the first people to explore the deepest part of the world'socean, and the deepest location on the surface of the Earth's crust, theChallenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench located in the western North Pacific Ocean.
