It was unsanctioned

I remember seeing that one in an earlier Beta as well - it was a very expensive-looking Commercial Outpost back then.

This is by far my funniest station so far. The other station in Wolf 25 is named 'Princess...' something-or-other

Not a strange name, but unexpected surprise: Ockels Terminal, an ocellus station in the Kamuy system. Wubbo Ockels was the first Dutch astronaut, on the Challenger in 1985, and passed away earlier this year. One of my childhood heroes.

And of course, ger Port and Fuchs Port can be completely misread.

Apart from the double meaning, this may well be after Michael Moorcock, excellent science fiction/fantasy writer as well as involvement with bands such as Blue Oyster Cult and Hawkwind. I need to go there.

I enjoyed entering Alison City, only because that's my wife's name

but was a little disappointed this star port didn't actually have it's name on it, just its number.

I think the station name is a little closer to the mailbox - I've noticed stations having names there, and also a number in bigger letters a bit further out. I suspect it's a numbering system only used on Federation stations.
