The Nebula Space Station was constructed in 1997 and was the most advanced Friendly Aliens construction to date. It was constructed yet again by Jihaddy workers with help from the scaffold and it took about six months to construct which is relatively fast considering the size of the station.

It features a docking wing which can allow up to six Super Roman Titans do dock simultaneously for resupply and refuelling but because of the unity and overlord classes this doesn't happen often. What is more common is Roudland Conciliator class ships docking for these purposes. The docking wing has extensive residential zones which allows almost half of the crew from each ship to stay inside the station very close to their ship. For security reasons the docking wing can be isolated from the rest of the station with massive blast doors.

The station is spherical except for the attached docking wing and scaffold. It is mostly covered with HE Solar Cells which power the station but as back-up there are large bio generators inside the station which are only activated in an emergency.

Quarter of the station is used for research purposes, Friendly Aliens is putting significant resources into developing artificial gravity, half is used as a base of the HADF and Stellar Guard and the rest is used to create small space craft like retrofitted Howling Banshee fighters. The sleeping and recreational areas are inside separate spheres inside the station which spins constantly to create artificial gravity (at a much lower energy cost than generated gravity).

For defence the station has ARC PDTs, recently SRain Launchers, batteries of torpedo tubes and over 5 meters of enhanced armour. These defences work with torpedo platforms surrounding the station to make a complete defence network capable of fighting off any significant threat.

Currently the scaffold is making ships for the Friendly Alien Stellar Guard but it was used recently to help construct the Super Roman 'Unity' and in the future Friendly Aliens hopes to keep the scaffold working by receiving contracts for foreign powers.
