**Orbit:** MEO
**Station Type:** [[Clusters|Cluster]]
Known as the “Divine Dragon,” this pre-Fall orbital station was a research center and weapons platform for the Chinese military. No one knows exactly what they were developing there—most likely viruses and other germ warfare agents that required a strict quarantine. It had the best defensive systems and security hardware available at the time, cutting-edge really, to protect the scientists working there and safeguard their secrets.
During the Fall, this station suffered a TITAN outbreak. It is unknown how the TITANs got on board—perhaps they infiltrated the cluster’s computer systems and activated some of the military’s own defenses against the crew or manufactured new killing machines on the spot. Whatever the case, the TITANs swept through the habitat ruthlessly—there are no known survivors. Various other military stations and ships concentrated their fire on the station, attempting to destroy it before the TITANs could deploy its weapon systems. The cluster’s sophisticated defenses managed to counter these attacks, however, with the station weathering only moderate damage. For reasons unknown, the TITANs never used the weapon platform to strike back, and seemed to have abandoned the station soon thereafter. Shenlong’s automated defensive systems remain activated, however, countering several further attempts to destroy the cluster.
The [[Planetary Consortium]] has put a block on any initiatives to destroy Shenlong, likely because various hypercorps are quite eager to see what the Chinese were doing inside. Numerous attempts to gain access to the station have so far failed, however, driven off or destroyed by the cluster’s defenses. There is some indication that the cluster has repaired itself and possibly even upgraded these systems. Efforts to breach this habitat are advised to proceed with caution. The defenses are substantial, TITAN relics may still be aboard, and whatever the Chinese scientists were working on may have been released into the cluster, posing further dangers.
