	History:
	Small Federation science space station located in the Amargosa system. In 2371, the observatory was attacked by Romulans looking for trilithium stolen by Klingon outlaws Lursa and B'Etor. Dr. Tolian Soran was a scientist aboard the observatory, and in 2371 he used the station to launch a solar probe into the Amargosa sun. The probe destroyed the star in a quantum implosion and the resultant shock wave obliterated the observatory. Star Trek Generations ; Star Trek Encyclopedia II
