How about something kind of imposing and standing as a bulwark in the darkness (and also a nod to the monolith in 2001 Space Odyssey, which in turn inspired the docking sequences in the original 1984 Elite):
THE OBSIDIAN GATE
Anyone like that?
And we could have local faction's named in honour of Ben Ryder and Walt Kerman.
I do kind of love Laika's Rest too though ;-;
I will also admit to a certain bias here. There is this tiny part of me that wants the station to become the focus of the first sustained attack by the Thargoids, as they try to snuff out our shining beacon, our lonely station set among the clouds of the Pleiades Nebula, so alone and so vulnerable, with only the commanders of the Pilot's Federation to defend it...
And however that turns out... don't you want to be able to say...
"Yes, I was there. I fought at the Battle of the Obsidian Gate."
