Anderson Station

Anderson Station is a resupply station for AndersonHyosung Cooperative Industries Group at the far end of the colonized Belt. Ten thousand people live here, orbiting at the opposite end of the Belt from Ceres. As a consequence, Anderson is a far harsher frontier.
When the Earth-Mars Coalition administrator implemented a surcharge on already scarce supply transfers, an insurgency took control of the station. Although they surrendered, the Coalition Marine Corps force led by Colonel Fred Johnson was ordered to retake the station by force (and prevented from hearing the insurgents’ surrender), killing thousands as a deterrent. Surveillance cameras broadcasted the three days of slaughter across the entire Sol System.
Fred Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions, but in the Belt he became infamous as the “Butcher of Anderson Station”. Johnson resigned and publicly apologized for the tragedy, and today runs Tycho Station, attempting to atone for his actions.
