Typhon

Typhon is described by SAYER as "the most successful object in geosynchronous orbit since Earth's original moon". It is located just far enough outside Earth's Roche limit to avoid being completely torn apart. It has artificial gravity produced by gravity amplifiers, meant to produce an Earth-like environment while maximizing heart and lung function.

Typhon was itself previously orbited by Mimir-9, and later by Mimir-10.

The surface of Typhon is partially habitable, but the nights are too cold for humans to survive unprotected.

Creation
During the First Cataclysm, an asteroid hit Earth's pacific northwest. This was salvaged by Ærolith Dynamics and launched back into orbit as an independent research facility.

Trivia

 * Typhon shares its name with both a monster from Greek mythology and a real life space object.
 * It takes 29.8 Earth days for the sun to track around the sky above Typhon.
 * It takes roughly three days to travel from Earth to Typhon via isolation pod.
 * In "The Birth Of Silence", Typhon is said to be 240,000 miles from Earth. Assuming this is its average orbital distance, it orbits slightly further out than Earth's original moon.
 * Typhon is naturally rich in soda ash.
