Grim HEX - the outlaw’s haven of Stanton

Grim HEX (originally named Green Imperial Housing Exchange) is an outlaw-class space station carved into a hollowed asteroid and hidden deep in the Yela asteroid belt of the Stanton system. Today it serves as the headquarters of the Nine Tails and stands as one of the ‘verse’s most notorious hubs for fringe activity and under-the-table opportunity - a stark contrast to the pristine corporate ports elsewhere in Stanton.

Origins & transformation

Built by Everline Structures Incorporated in SEY 2903, the station began life as a worker housing exchange supporting local mining. Like all HEX sites, it was integrated directly into a hollowed asteroid to provide affordable accommodation close to operations.

As mining prospects waned, the facility was abandoned and fell into disrepair. Officially, the Housing Exchange closed its doors in 2938. Unofficially, a new class of resident moved in - outlaws, criminals, pirates, and lowlifes — reshaping the station’s purpose and reputation into what pilots simply call “Grim HEX.”

Why pilots still come to Grim HEX

For all its grit, Grim HEX offers something few lawful ports do: anonymity, proximity to Stanton’s underbelly, and a fully functional suite of services from ship support to medical treatment. Whether you’re chasing contracts that don’t live on the up-and-up or simply savoring the atmosphere, this asteroid-bound den remains a distinctive waypoint in the system.
