- Slithering Beast. The Space Station is very hard to maneuver and very slow doing so. It is meant to perform very rare and very specific Hyperspace Jumps, sacrificing a tremendous amount of fuel in the process; Something that makes the Athysian League always reluctant in moving it.
- A lamb amidst the wolves. The Station does not have any standard starfighter or other space craft defense squadron for its own protection, with only the shielding and the defense weaponry on it to stand between it and the enemy.
The huge, round-shapped form of the Shield of Vell Space Station can operate both as orbital and deep space mining, trading and refueling station. It hosts a huge number of mining equipment, ships, as well as experienced personnel, with huge numbers of mining droids being produced and utilized for the operation of the station, avoiding the need for slave labour. The station's interior is separated in multiple segments, each being dedicated in specific work, such as the docking bays and the repair yards, the production and industrialized sectors as well as the main trading and inhabitable area. The upper the Space Station one goes, the higher the class, up until the top Star Palace and Dark Temple that resides within it.
The Alcademon family member that rules the station are considered some of the most powerful individuals, as they hold a key point for interstellar trade, as well as a vital asset for the Raider Fleets of Athys...
