Lunar Five Tracking Station
A ground‑based Angosian sensor facility on Lunar Five: a compact cluster of radar domes, dish arrays, and relay towers encircling a hardened operations hut. Banks of consoles and blinking telemetry panels sit behind a windowed operations bay; exterior cabling and antenna booms mark its perimeter. In the current crisis its uplinks read noisy or interrupted, and officers at command consoles scramble to patch transponder locks. Riker cites the station as the obvious node to locate the stolen transport while Prime Minister Nayrok’s staff fear that its failure will deepen the political fallout.

Purpose
To detect, interrogate, and relay positional telemetry for Lunar Five traffic and penal transports—providing transponder tracking and real‑time location data to Angosian authorities and pursuit assets.
Significance
Acts as the immediate tactical linchpin for pursuing the escaped prisoner; its malfunction or compromise creates an obstacle that converts a diplomatic visit into a security crisis and exposes Angosia’s institutional vulnerability.
