ISS Impervious

The ISS Impervious was a Space Station that was constructed over Earth in 2139, which was designed to be the largest and most advanced spacedock inn the Solar System. It was constructed to accomodate any known kind of spaceship, from the common Earthen shuttle to the obscure Red Dwarf-class vessel.

Despite the successes of this space station, it quickly became outstripped by newer and more intricate competition. Despite sweeping aside its biggest competitor, a Virgin Galactic, by literally blasting it to pieces with its weaponry, the ISS Impervious didn't stand a chance against the biggest enemy Humankind had ever faced - the recession.

After economic downturn left the Human space industry in a 30-year wasteland of industrial collapse, the ISS Impervious was one of the few space stations that was not taken down and sold for scrap - since it was deemed too worthless. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the crew of the ISS Impervious as a cosmic gold storm later hit the Earth and most of the gold dust was collected by the Impervious and was later used to jump-start the space-age economy.

The ISS Impervious survived several alien incursions onto Earth, and was fitted with advanced and highly experimental weaponry in 2232 after being taken over by the African Alliance, and was essential in the testing and development of MAC technology that would prove invaluable to humanity nearly 300 years later during the Human-Covenant War, but the Impervious would not last that long, despite its name.

The Impervious was destroyed during a rogue Reaper incursion in the 2300s, with the military data being beamed off the station by specialists moments before it was torn apart by a Reaper and burned with its weaponry. Despite the loss of the station, most of the crew were able to evacuate, and the data it contained was saved, meaning the Impervious Experiments could continue elsewhere.
