Glarin.
Blint was the most likely to produce viable recruits. The planet did not have as many geopolitical subdivisions as Earth but the similarities suggested that they would be likely candidates for an effort following Frote.
Further refinements to the scans of the second group of Glarin indicated that there were seven ships in the group. This was determined by sending out two Type 2 stations, Stations #142 and #162, as close as one light day from the group. This also resulted in more refined data. An interesting side note was that during the initial scans from a distance of about one light year out, the stations found seven objects trailing the seven Glarin vessels. These objects are each about one quarter mile in length and appear to be unmanned and traveling at the same speed as the Glarin vessels. They are also pretty clearly of Glarin origin. Beyond that a battle group was being prepared as planned to go out and meet them. Stations #142 and #162 would be moving to within 10 miles of the group and its trailing objects in a few hours to conduct high detail scans of each ship to provide additional intel before attempting contact. The advantages, it was felt, far outweighed any perceived disadvantages.

Outer Hull.
The outer hull area runs from RM 26 to RM 30. This outer four miles of the station houses the water supply, power generators and computer cores for the station Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is maintained in a weightless or zero G condition. It is not directly accessible by the inhabitants of the station but is constantly monitored by the resident AI such as Barana. All of the "empty" space not allocated to power generation, computer cells and storage or water is filled with poured shielding that resemble rock but is very dense. The water tanks are centered at RM 27 and extend to within three miles of either end of the station. The tanks are multilayered and baffled. Water is constantly aerated and circulated. The water tanks, like many other features in the station, have a capacity in excess of any conceivable need.

This does not include water in the open lakes and recreational facilities found in the habitat areas. Any individual tank can be isolated and bypassed if that ever becomes necessary. The water is maintained in liquid form at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjacent to the water tanks is a system of small access tunnels in the event the water tanks require service. An army of automated machines provides any service, maintenance or repair required for the tanks. The tunnels are too small for humans and so the machines were built to perform any maintenance or repair task. Nothing of substance has been required since construction of the prototype station and the system is constantly monitored and tested. To put this amount of water into perspective, the United States with a 2014 population of 319.8 million persons used 408 billion gallons of water per day for all uses including public, domestic, farming, industrial, livestock, mining and power. The Outer Hull chart above indicates the supply available if the stations were to use water at the same rate without considering recovery or recycling of the water.
Each station has power generation tubes and has a fuel supply for these tubes sufficient to operate all tubes for 500 years. Each of the tubes contains multiple singularities traveling within the tubes in opposite directions. The passage of these singularities generates immense power output and is used to power all functions of the station as well as weapons and flight capability. The quantity of tubes on each station provide at least a triple redundancy for generating its power needs including those for
