Olympus Station
Where luxury orbits collide with the deadly reality of survival combat.
Olympus Station is a massive orbital habitat circling the lush world of Olympus in the Outer Rim. Originally constructed as an exclusive luxury resort for the galaxy's elite, it was later repurposed by the Hammond Corporation to serve as a high-tech arena for the Apex Games.
The station features advanced architecture, including zero-gravity zones and automated defense systems that make navigation treacherous for combatants. Its transformation from a place of leisure to a battleground marks a significant shift in how the Games utilize Outer Rim infrastructure.

Lore & Background
Before the games, Olympus Station was a beacon of opulence, offering wealthy patrons views of the planet below that could not be found anywhere else. The facility utilized cutting-edge technology to maintain life support and artificial gravity, creating a seamless environment for high-end tourism. However, the allure of profit eventually drew the attention of the Hammond Corporation.
When the need for new venues arose, Olympus was chosen for its containment capabilities. The luxurious suites became cover points, and the observation decks turned into sniper nests. The station's infrastructure, designed to keep guests safe from space debris, now serves to keep Legends trapped within the kill zone until only one remains standing.
In Their Own Story
The silence of the server room was broken only by the hum of cooling fans. Kaito pressed his back against the cold metal wall, watching the holographic map flicker on the console. Outside the reinforced glass, the planet Olympus swirled in vibrant greens and blues, indifferent to the violence unfolding above it.
He could hear footsteps echoing down the corridor—metallic boots on polished floors. The resort was dead now; its concierge bots were offline, and the champagne flowed only from broken bottles. Kaito tightened his grip on his weapon, knowing that paradise had become a cage.
Reader's Guide
Constructed during the height of Outer Rim expansion, Olympus Station began as a private orbital resort catering to the galaxy's wealthiest citizens. Its pristine architecture and zero-gravity zones offered unparalleled views of the planet below.
When the Hammond Corporation sought new venues for the Apex Games, they acquired the facility due to its secure containment systems. The Third Apex Games transformed the luxury halls into deadly battlegrounds, marking a shift from leisure to survival combat. Legends fought across hotel suites and server rooms alike.
Following the conclusion of that season, the station was locked down for security upgrades and structural repairs caused by heavy fighting. While occasionally reopened for future tournaments or training exercises, it remains a symbol of how quickly paradise can become a prison in the Outer Rim. Audio logs from maintenance crews suggest lingering hazards remain.
