Module-1

In the story, ' 8113 ', Module-1 is the name given to the ultra-terrestrial station built on the surface of Earth's moon, named so for being the first temporary off-planet base ever built. Initially, Module-1 served as a transit base between Earth and the Colonies, and also to Mars. It later became the site of operations for the mining of ore on Mercury (and subsequently Venus). Primarily, it holds the sleeping quarters of miners and the various repair factories of mining equipment. It is also the site where ore is refined and exported.

Module-1 is a territory of the UFC, but day-to-day operations are run by the private company, Vaux Refineries. The main headquarters of the company are based there. Since the Moon has no atmosphere and is not terraformed, the bases and quarters are airtight. Water and food must be imported from other sources.

Houixen military forces briefly held Module-1 captive during the First War after the collapse Mercury. The conflict ended without any casualties.
