Aurora:Veniba Station
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Veniba Station is a very remote weather station located on the North-Western side of Ellesmere Island. It is one of the Northernmost inhabited locations on Aurora still connected to a significant landmass. Being surrounded by the Arctic Ocean on one side, and row upon rows of valleys and rolling mountains on the other, a journey to its location is a tiring and nigh-pointless ordeal.
The landscape of Ellesmere Island is barren and nearly featureless aside from a few disparate abandoned settlements and ruined forts. As of writing, there are only three other small settlements on the island. Far North, the closest neighbouring town, has recently emerged not too far away.
History
The station's operator and sole inhabitant, MisterTor, established the station in order to set up instruments to track weather patterns, seismic activity, and other potential anomalous activity. This comes at no demand from any town or nation for this data. The station runs seemingly just out of curiosity. Some details of the facility have been encoded and redacted. Attempts to contact the station are often met with silence; its communication interface is likely disabled for privacy.
Recently, the station's public facilities have been constructed, including a small wheat patch, a harbour, a lounge, and ender chests. The atmospheric scanner has also been installed, with its antenna now fully operational. Biofuel processing has been installed; the air often smells like kelp.
Few details about the station are public, but there are known plans to further develop the station to accommodate a small harbour and biofuel refinery, meant to service the occasional traveller sailing through the Arctic Passage.
