Deathwatch Station, Beta Putki
A scientific research station constructed in TE 263 in orbit around the red supergiant star Beta Putki. Beta Putki was in pre-supernova phase, and the station's mission was provide a platform for study of the phenomenon.
Deathwatch Station became a popular tourist attraction, and also inspired a religious cult. Over the years the station expanded to feature hotels, shops, museums, and various temples and religious retreats.
Around TE 340 Deathwatch Station was evacuated -- all who remained were a few scientists and thousands of religious believers. In TE 343 the star went supernova, and the Station (along with all inhabitants) was destroyed.
