Mr.Burns,

Correct we are located in Manchester however the question of the station being a "independent enterprise or a corporate asset" is admittedly currently a tricky one to answer, legally speaking it is currently registered as a Deep Space Engineering installation. Its primary function is assisting Birmingham in its Waste processing endeavors as well as assisting ALG in the processing of salvage from the New London System. Additionally it acts as a general local trade hub, however that isn't what I have as a vision for the station and those changes are already underway. For starters, I would like it to be able to act as a meeting point for people of all stripes, not unlike a freeport but more...classy you could say. Are you familiar with the Old-Earth concept of a speakeasy? On the likely chance you are not during their time they were a place where people with the right connections, regardless of social strata, could meet and mingle in private the law had no say in these places, Money talked first and after that was good old fashioned gentleman's agreements.

In short:
From the outside, the Bretonian Authorities will simply see a Freelance Installation operating a mildly successful salvage refining operation. However, deep in the bowels of the station there will be a thriving underground where anything can go, within reason of course.
