Princess Nikolaschka

The Princess Nikolaschka (プリンセスニコラシカ) is a Venus-class civilian space station of the Legitimacy Kingdom's Organization for the Peaceful Use of Space.

Etymology
A is a cognac brandy-based cocktail, typically served as an after-dinner drink. Venus is the of love and beauty, as well as the  of the solar system.

Design
The station has a thick cylindrical main shaft with lab modules and solar panels installed at right angles around it, as well as slave shafts branching off with more facilities similarly attached. It resembles a fishing hole's fish tank made from rectangular wooden frames connected together, so those aboard it call it the "Fish Tank". The extra frames extend from the main shaft at 120 degree intervals.

Technology
Classified as a Venus-class (ヴィーナス級) space station, the Princess Nikolaschka possesses various systems typical of a space station, such as life support, solar panels, as well as a number of laboratories.

The station also has a railgun-type safety device known as the Debris Homer, which rather than firing shells from its barrel, opens wide and releases a field of power to shoot back debris without touching it, in order to protect the station from debris arriving at several km/s. It can also be used to bend streams of the solar wind towards Earth to produce artificial auroras.

Background
The space station was created and operated by the Legitimacy Kingdom's Organization for the Peaceful Use of Space (宇宙平和利用機構), a civilian space development organization.

Dance with Noble Sister
The Princess Nikolaschka was involved in a collaboration with the Celestial Flowers festival, and was scheduled to create an artificial aurora as one of the events in the firework festival. Due to the threat of the Destruction Fes, the station was commandeered to use the aurora's electromagnetic interference to disrupt the Object's systems. Shortly afterwards, the station came under attack from soldiers working for Azureyfear Winchell's faction and a satellite-destroying satellite, incapacitating the Debris Homer.

After fending off the attackers, the astronauts, following Quenser's instructions on the hatch of the Destruction Fes, managed to subvert the Orchestra System and gain control of the Object, bringing it to a stop.
