Statement on how it will benefit the Gallic Union:
With respect to completeness, rapid reaction, smuggler interdiction, and power projection, it is often speculated that the 'hexagon' of Ile-de-France requires a permanent installation in the south west corner of the hexagon, and ideally, someone else to pay for it.
BBV Station (short for Boulogne-Billancourt-Versailles, after the merged arrondissments of old Paris on Terra) will provide for a mix of educational, commercial and defensive capability in this prominent yet currently empty trade lane junction area of space.
Ostensibly being run as an IDF Shipping facility under a Freelancers IFF to allow universal access to scholars and researchers, BBV Station is intended as a purely civilian installation and under no circumstances will defensive platforms be considered. Any defensive capabilities will be provided at their discretion by Gallic Union authorities who are encouraged to deploy assets on BBV Station to extend their influence more immediately in this important transit area in the capital system of Gallia.
I'd be grateful for the opportunity to work closely with Gallic authorities to explore the possibilities of showcasing Gallic architecture after the Core 1 and Core 2 frameworks are in place. Perhaps elements of the now abandoned Beauvais Wreck could be up-cycled, or even more aesthetic architectural styles explored, as the junction area does present the initial impression of Ile-de-France to travelers arriving from the Champagne and Provence systems, and I'd be privileged to elevate the beauty and amenity of this side of the 'hexagon' of Ile-de-France.

I'd like to thank everyone involved for their consideration of this Modular Base Application and am more than happy to answer any and all questions should additional information or clarification be required.
