Placed deep in the [[Deep Periphery]] astrographical feature known as the [[Orion Rift]], the installation known colloquially as Shady Palms is located within the asteroid belt around the yellow-white supergiant star catalogued by the [[Star League]] as SLSC F81a.0086. Based upon a heavily modified ''[[Snowden (Space Station class)|Snowden]]''-class mining station, the installation was deployed in the system in [[2749]] to conduct research; an advanced astronomical observation facility, Shady Palms linked together hundreds of visible, infrared, x-ray and neutrino telescopes and detectors that had been laced throughout the asteroid field. The star at the heart of the system provided power for both the installation and all of the deployed instruments via solar panels and collectors that drew on its massive solar output.<ref name=ISP3p73/>

Shady Palms itself was home to scientists who undertook five-year tours aboard the installation; modifications to the basic ''Snowden'' design to support their deployment included the conversion of the ore processing station to house a complex central computer and the conversion of the pressurized bays into hydroponic gardens that provided food and space for recreation. From its location Shady Palms could process and analyze data that was used to pinpoint planets orbiting stars up to five hundred light-years away, and Shady Palms was responsible for providing the Star League with a significant amount of information on such areas as the [[Dark Expanse]] and other regions of the rimward Deep Periphery.<ref name=ISP3p73/>

The next group to visit Shady Palms were explorers from [[Interstellar Expeditions]] (IE), who rediscovered the installation in [[3069]] and who were surprised to find people living aboard the facility. The inhabitants of Shady Palms agreed to allow IE personnel access to the station, an act of generosity that ensured that IE staff treated the inhabitants respectfully. IE discovered that the Shady Palms computer core had overloaded shortly after the last of the Star League scientists had died and was still inoperable three centuries later; given the wealth of information likely to be contained within the computer core, IE went to work in an effort to repair the core and extract the records it contained. These efforts were still ongoing in [[3095]].<ref name=ISP3p73/>
