    It will be a dark day when the Bastion falters. A day of beams, fractured hulls and sputtering reactors.
    But it is not this day. So long as a single human lives aboard this station, the galaxy will break before we do.

      @@alexfranz817 My guess is that the few who actually gave a damn realized he was genuinely trying to improve things around the station, for every disciplinary handed out, recreational hubs that hadn't worked in decades were also brought back to life alongside weapons systems. For every ball turret given maintenance and a bit of TLC, so too were old PA systems restored with a little benefit on the side to play music for the crew outside of an emergency.
      Little things like that. He'll condemn your failures, but reward success. Thus, certain detachments would begin working harder to achieve those small victories, and morale would hinge on everyone pitching in together because if you don't get this done, none of us get our 'shore leave' (which is in this case whatever scifi recreational center they've got with it's VR centers and long-distance communication equipment for friends and loved ones to keep in contact).
      The lazier elements of the E4 mafia would hate him, but the more cunning would realize that playing to his demands will give them more power :)

      You misunderstand Bastion's purpose.
      It is there, neglected, precisely to invite an attack and remind the Na-Zha-Vek that even in such a bad condition, it is more than capable of stopping them.

      Nature of military budgets. Bastion was a backwater on the border, so probably had no direct representation of a politician whose constituents were relying on jobs at that station, so got no money for upgrades. Humanity had been at peace with those aliens for over 10 years, and probably had other hot spots to worry about, to military spending was directed to other things. Political winds are just that fickle. I personally have seen the military shut down two bases they either just built or upgraded because the politicians wanted something else. So I can see even a famous base getting neglected when no politician had any reason related to getting re-elected connected to it.

      @@capt.squiggly6354 That's assuming a time like we have now. However, there have been times in our own history were a 20 year gap made a huge difference in capabilities. And not all of our current cold war era gear would actually stand up to more modern stuff. An F-15 is a cold war era fighter that is still very effective around the world. But our own pilots tell us that an F-22 would absolutely destroy any F-15, even if the F-15 were brand new, without much effort. And both of those would be using much the same weapons.

    A new Bastion Station was rebuilt around the old one, kept as a museum. However, there were tunnels and ports in the new Bastion Station to allow the old Bastion Station to fire, because the old station was still manned and as operational as it could be and would fire anyway.

Like grandfather, like son, like grandson that served with and for BASTION station, just as the B-52 stratofortress's has had grandfather's, fathers and grandsons serving and the way it's going we're going to have great grandsons and great granddaughters flying that old warbird into the future, that we know nothing about but yet we go forth knowing that the past is as important as the present, and as important as the future....
