This is Crewe, Crewe Station, Crewe

Anyone who spent any time near a British railway between about the 1940s-1980s will probably have heard that announcement over a tannoy as their train stopped at Crewe.

Well now, you, yes you, can go to Crewe, yes Crewe! Commander Lazarus G. Kent cordially invites you all to system COL 285 SECTOR FV-D b13-4 to visit Crewe Station. Rumours have it that Cmmdr Kent has secured an exclusive deal with ancient Earth distillers Ardbeg for a special limited edition bottling of Ardbeg 12, called 'The Crewe Station Smoker' with a bottle to the first 12 Commanders who make it to the bar!

This is just the starting point of Cmmdr Kent's ambitions. In an exclusive interview with the Federal Times, Cmmdr Kent revealed that he's got far more up his sleeve than a recreation of the best railway station Earth has ever seen.

"You know, back in the ancient days of Earth, it used to be said 'Go West, young man' and that was where you'd find your fortune. Well, maybe that was true then, but these days, after the Thargoid War, I say 'go East', galactic East, that is. I'm planning on turning this system into a great farming endeavour. We'll be making COL 285 SECTOR whisky by the freighterload one day, just you see. And eventually, I want to get out to the Wregoe sector and see what mischief I can cause."

How exactly Cmmdr Kent intends to turn a system of icy planets into a farming paradise isn't clear to us, but nobody can doubt the man's self-belief. And if he can recreate Crewe Station, surely anything is possible!
