'''Jaques Station''' is an [[Orbis]] [[Starport]] currently located in the [[Colonia]] system. Owned by the eccentric [[Jaques]], it is unique among stations in that it is equipped with engines and is capable of traveling to different systems; all other stations, with the exception of those undergoing construction, are permanently stationary. [[Jaques Quinentian Still]], a [[List of Rare Commodities|Rare Commodity]], is exclusively available at Jaques Station.

== History ==
At some point between 3200 and 3300, the centuries-old cyborg bartender [[Jaques]], formerly a member of a [[Federation|Federal]] black ops team called the "Quinentis Fourteens", gained full ownership of the [[Starport]] Peters Base in [[Facece]].<ref name="LLSR">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/ed828569907e2e83414b264183efdd590067abb0 GalNet: Long Lost Station Returns]</ref> During his years bartending, Jaques had long dreamed of attaching engines to the station and using it to explore the galaxy. Jaques eventually made his dream a reality, despite some delays: he had to exchange Peters Base, a [[Coriolis]], for a more resilient [[Orbis]], which he named after himself.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/251094-Jaques-station-and-his-place-in-the-Lore-of-Elite-regarding-passengers-to-beagle-point Jaques Station, Newsletter #61]</ref>

After wandering space for over forty years, Jaques returned to the [[Core Systems]] on February 7, 3301,<ref name="LLSR" /> and later arrived in Gliese 1269, where he settled on a more ambitious goal. On May 5, 3302, Jaques sponsored a [[Community Goals|Community Goal]] to gather enough [[Hydrogen Fuel]] to attempt a jump to [[Beagle Point]], on the far side of the galaxy.<ref name="JBJ">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/572b48d09657baa33659e116 GalNet: Community Goal: Jaques' Big Jump]</ref> The fuel drive concluded successfully on May 12, and Jaques announced that he would go ahead with the jump.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57348b939657ba6f57f3e221 GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques to Embark for Beagle Point]</ref> The jump proceeded a week later, despite a last-minute sabotage attempt by a group of cultists.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/573edd4e9657ba91579b0b78 GalNet: Freelance Report: Attempt to Sabotage Jaques Station Thwarted]</ref> Unfortunately, Jaques Station never arrived at Beagle Point, and observers speculated that [[Thargoid Sensor]] interference could be to blame for the mis-jump. It was even feared that the station had been destroyed.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5746c56b9657ba1270c36567 GalNet: Galactic News: No Sign of Jaques Station]</ref>

The first good news came on June 13, when several outposts in inhabited space reported receiving fragmentary messages believed to have originated from Jaques Station.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/575e8a429657bae76bad9183 GalNet: Galactic News: Where is Jaques Station?]</ref> The messages were too broken to be able to determine their source location, but on June 29, against all odds, the explorer Commander Cly stumbled across Jaques Station in the [[Colonia|Eol Prou RS-T d3-94]] system while surveying the Eol Prou AA-A H89 Nebula. Cly reported that the station was damaged and still afflicted by Thargoid Sensor-related technical issues.<ref name="JSF">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5773954c9657ba977c8a0231 GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station Found!]</ref> Jaques broadcast a statement on June 30 thanking searchers and explaining the misfortunes that had befallen his station. Shortly after it had jumped, Jaques Station's drive engines, navigation system, and power distributor malfunctioned in [[hyperspace]]; rather than continue pushing to Beagle Point and potentially tearing the station to shreds, Jaques dropped at the nearest safe system. When asked if he would make a second jump to Beagle Point, Jaques responded, "I don't think Jaques Station will be jumping again anytime soon. The old girl wasn't really built for long-distance travel, and the last leap put a lot of strain on the superstructure. I think I'm going to be in Eol Prou whatever-it's-called for the foreseeable future. Still, the view here is lovely, so it could be worse." Meanwhile, pilots began collecting [[Meta-Alloys]] to repair the stranded station.<ref name="Speaks">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5774e64f9657ba3d668a023a GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Speaks]</ref>

By July 7, 3302, Jaques Station's services were partially restored. A member of the station's technical team announced that they would soon secure funds to conduct a proper campaign to fully repair Jaques Station.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/577e56579657ba442e84db7b GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station on the Mend]</ref> The four-week campaign opened on July 21 with requests for [[Power Generators]], [[Tantalum]], [[Structural Regulators]], and [[Energy Grid Assembly|Energy Grid Assemblies]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5790e2e29657ba710399cd7d GalNet: Community Goal: Repair Jaques Station]</ref> After only two weeks, enough commodities were received to bring more services online, including refueling, restocking, ship repairs, and outfitting.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57a320d79657baa84c34e14c GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station Making a Comeback]</ref> On August 10, the campaign concluded early after all request quotas were filled thanks to the efforts of thousands of pilots. Jaques confirmed that the remaining repairs to Jaques Station would be finished soon, and a shipyard would also be added.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57aaf4259657ba424e876c6b GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques's Campaign Concludes]</ref>

In the weeks and months afterwards, Jaques Station in the newly renamed Colonia system became the main hub for colonization efforts in the surrounding [[Colonia Region]]. A number of infrastructure building and immigration promoting initiatives were launched by the [[Colonia Council]] in response to a growing desire among citizens of the Core Systems to establish a new center of civilization away from the constant squabbling between the [[Federation]], [[Empire]], and [[Alliance]], and later the emerging [[Thargoid]] [[Second Thargoid War|threat]]. Jaques has no plans to leave Colonia, and his station will remain a fixture in the region for the foreseeable future.

== Trivia ==
*Jaques Station's jump from Gliese 1269 to Colonia covered a distance of 21,890.11 ly, which is the longest single recorded jump made by a human vessel in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]''.
*The unique phrases "I never forget a face!" and "Friends welcome!" are emblazoned on the exterior of Jaques Station, on either side of the [[Access Corridor]].
*Unlike many of the stations across the galaxy, Jaques himself is the station's announcer, broadcasting announcements in both English and French.
