Points of Interest

The comms tower is the base's main focal point. The base was established during the Golden Age, the tower acting as a relay station between Earth and the rest of the colonial effort throughout the Solar System. The tower's height makes it a good vantage point for Guardians.^[1]

Trivia

The idea for the Moonbase was one of the earliest in the development of Destiny, in circulation by 2009. It is meant to be familiar in nature, reminiscent of the International Space Station, but also exotic as per its proximity to the Hellmouth.^[1]
