Cope Observatory

Cope Observatory is a research station located far beyond Joe Empire and former Bruh space. Many refugees, including ones from The Spear and Bruh Alliance, are known to have fled there. It is the largest independent station, and largest station in unmapped space. It is rumored that the first test runs of Hi-Wake technology started here.

Defense
In 90 JOD, the rapidly increasing size of Cope Observatory led to the creation of Bodyguard Fleet, a naval fleet tasked with the protection and security of Cope Observatory, and increased defenses on Cope Observatory itself.

Link to Bruh Navy remnant factions
In 98 JOD, Cope Observatory was discovered to house a large Bruh Navy remnant faction by the Joe Empire. Joe Empire requested immediate unrestricted access to Cope Observatory. Cope Observatory issued a statement declaring that there was no indication of a Bruh Navy remnant faction, let alone one significant enough to challenge the Joe Imperial Navy, and that the accusation was an effort to put the station under Joe Empire control. This led to the Battle of Cope Observatory.

Battle of Cope Observatory
Following Cope Observatory's refusal to submit to Joe Empire demands, Cock Dock was sent to engage and capture Cope Observatory for the Joe Empire. The Bodyguard Fleet proved sufficient, and Cope Observatory sustained only minor damage.
