Once the orbital war finished, many satellites and space facilites had been destroyed, but the Crystal Palace endured. Despite the order to not attack assets belonging to other nations, a mistake was done and all three nations began to destroy every facility they could find, no matter whom it belong. At the same time the US and Soviets were doing similar things on other parts of the globe.

Later that year, the ESA ordered delta jets on the Crystal Palace to destroy several 'suspicious' orbital facilities. Three Highriders intercepted the projectiles and died protecting the station. Despite all this, no records of them ever existing were found, but only the words of a number of harsh prominent solos, who are not inclined in believing in such tales.ĭuring the Fourth Corporate War, in late September of 2022, a killsat artillery strike fired at the orbital habitant in the Crystal Palace, seemingly by accident. It was from the Palace were they would fall upon their targets. In early 2020s, the Palace was rumored to be the home of The Angels a group of at least twelve individuals, each one an elite martial artist, whom were considered the best solos ever. Finally, in 2011, the Palace opened its doors, giving the ESA a permanent hold in the high Earth orbit. Eventually, the ESA discovered who was behind the attack, uncovering the American Defense Intelligence Agency plot, and decided to drop a five-ton rock off the coast of Washington, D.C.

In 2009, a USA 'terrorist group' tried to take over the space station, but failed. Due to the First Corporate War of 2005, the construction was delayed. In 2000, the European Space Agency begun the construction of what became known as the Crystal Palace at a cost of 7 billion eurodollars. The station also serves military purposes, such as being the testing ground for the Tsunami Airhammer pistol. Police services and law enforcement are the exclusive province of Interpol the intra- European police organization, under an agreement with the ESA, reserves the right of judicial power over criminal offenses. In turn, the ESA maintains emergency services, general security, and station upkeep. Living space is leased by the ESA to the highest bidders on a twenty year renewable basis. While the European Space Agency technically owns the Crystal Palace, it is in fact used by all space-capable nations, each of which maintains an embassy on the Palace for its nationals.
