Kumo no Kagayaki Station

Kumo no Kagayaki Station (It is also known as “Cloudport”) is a Tengumo-Class Space Station built by the Yugumo Corporation in YE 45.

Kumo no Kagayaki (雲の輝き) means “Glow of the Clouds” in Yamataigo (邪馬台語).

History and Background

When Port Jiyuu left the Jiyuu System in YE 45.1, it was already in the works to replace the station. Using a collective of designs that had been in motion since YE 43, Yugumo Fleetworks completed the plans for the Tengumo-Class Space Station. The initial spaceframe was laid down in YE 45.1 and the station became operational in YE 45.7. It was open to the public the following month, in YE 45.8. It would be the first space station actually designed by the Yugumo Corporation.

The station quickly gained the nickname “Cloudport” from people in the Motoyoshi Colonial Sector.
