What about this for a name? What if in honor of the first non-generically
named base, we name the spacebase "Alpha-1"? The name could apply to the whole
base, and we could add at least one 483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base to it just for fun.
I'm still drawing a blank for a name of the spacestation itself. Nothing in
the official set listing has a name for a spacestation because all the space
sets TLG made are either ships or planetary-based stations. Looks like we'll
either have to steal one or invent one.
