Polaris, also known as the 13th Station (formally known as Polaris Station), was a space station owned by Becca’s company. It was used by Becca to conduct research on A.L.I.E. 2.0 for two years after the Nuclear Apocalypse. It was destroyed by Alpha Station on Unity Day in order to get the other stations to come into line and join the Ark.
Polaris Station is where Becca traveled to conduct her research on A.L.I.E. 2.0 after isolating A.L.I.E. in the mansion. In October 1, 2054, Polaris was due to join the other twelve federation stations to form the Ark. However, upon discovering the nature of Becca’s research on the station, Commander McAdams refused to begin docking maneuvers in fear of infecting the entire Ark mainframe with the second AI that Becca had created. Other stations threatened to stop docking maneuvers because Polaris has not started, and Alpha Station threatened them to comply with the docking or they would be blown out of the sky to send a clear message to the other space stations. Soon after, Polaris was destroyed by a missile launched from Alpha Station. Since then, Polaris was scrubbed from the Ark’s history and considered a myth.
“If we’re gonna survive up here, extreme measure will be required. Let this be a lesson to all federation stations. God rest your souls. May God help ours.” – Alpha Staton to Polaris.
