Kelrik Station
Description
Kelrik Station, is a down-on-its-luck backwater station which has fallen into disuse since the start of the Teraport Wars.
History
Kelrik Hub formerly served the busy Sag-Orion Wormgate line. When the Teraport was open-sourced and the fleet commanded by Admiral Breya blew up the Bu'uthandi running this line, the traffic dried up and the station lost much of its affluence and prestige, eventually being renamed Kelrik Station [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-05-03%7C2009-05-03]]].
Notable Residents and Expatriates

Appearances
First appearance
Kelrik Hub first appeared after the Toughs stopped for dinner at one of its restaurants, the Chez Frere Jaques. When they returned to their ship, the K.F.D.A. Commandos were waiting for them [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-09-24%7C2000-09-24]]].
Other notable appearances

Speculation
The system the station is in is referred to once as the Kelric system, however this may simply be a mistake [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-10-01%7C2000-10-01]]]. The spelling 'Kelric' also occurs in the transcription of one other strip, but the strip itself has the correct spelling [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-10-23%7C2000-10-23]]].
