'''Obsidian Orbital''' is an [[Ocellus]] [[Starport]] in the [[Maia]] system. It was built after the community goal Among the Stars. It has all services with the exception of Outfitting and a Shipyard.<ref>https://eddb.io/station/42043</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Work on a new Ocellus starport began in the Kaushpoos system of the Pleiades Nebula on October 28, 3301. Within a day, pirates began congregating in Kaushpoos, preying on traders and contractors travelling to and from the system. A request for aid was sent out and the pirates were repelled in short order. Later the starport was named Obsidian Orbital via public vote.<ref name=":0">Tourist Spot 0200, "Obsidian Orbital Constructed"</ref><br />
<br />
On December 19, 3301, it was reported that the new station had been affected by technical issues plaguing the galaxy, but personnel were determined to keep it running.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
On January 31, 3302, an unidentified [[Diamondback Explorer]] with the unusual designation "S6: 7" conducted a high-speed flyby and scan of Obsidian Orbital. The ship ignored all hails and departed once it completed its scan. Witnesses of the incident speculated that the ship was looking for something.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/56ab79989657ba031aaab151 GalNet: Galactic News: Unidentified Spacecraft Observed at Obsidian Orbital]</ref> It is possible this incident was connected to the covert military group [[Black Flight]].<br />
<br />
On December 2, 3303, Obsidian Orbital joined 24 other Pleiades Nebula stations in hosting an [[Aegis]] laboratory, part of a scientific initiative to research Thargoid technology.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a212339e2169204573ec830 GalNet: Galactic News: New Aegis Initiative]</ref> Beginning on December 14, Medusa Variant [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s began launching [[Station#Emergency Protocol|attacks on stations]] participating in Aegis' initiative.<ref name="GSABT">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a328aebaac37e273a5d4ea8 GalNet: Galactic News: Starports Attacked by Thargoids]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a3a4ffbd27df13ee220cc2f GalNet: Galactic News: Authorities Urge Public Not to Panic]</ref> Obsidian Orbital became one of the latest victims of these attacks on January 11, 3304, suffering heavy damage to the dismay of the galactic community. A [[Rescue Vessel]] arrived on-site to assist in evacuations.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a58d52808925a374348ba63 GalNet: Thargoid Assault Continues]</ref> The station was fully repaired by March 3, 3304, making it the second station, after The Oracle in Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55, to recover from a Thargoid attack.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*With the release of update 2.4, "[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Return - v2.4|The Return"]] on September 26, 2017, Obsidian Orbital's announcer was changed. All announcements within the station's docking bay are now spoken by CMDR ObsidianAnt.<br />
