<p> Today we delve deep into the far reaches of Federation space, to <a href="/builder/ben-jarvis">Ben Jarvis</a>'s Omega 5 research station, where federation researchers analyse signals from the farthest reaches of space. </p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketandroll/3384742110/"><img src="/sites/neoclassicspace/files/u3/omega5-01.jpg" alt="Deep-Space Research Station Omega 5" width="500" height="394" /></a> </p> <p> <i>It's a lonely outpost but highly productive, away from the destractions and interference of Federation politics. It takes a special breed of scientist to endure the long duration stays so far from day-to-day contact with anyone other than their fellow researchers. Yet those who volunteer say they enjoy the peace and tranquility.</i> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketandroll/3383927915/"><img src="/sites/neoclassicspace/files/u3/omega5-02.jpg" alt="Supply Buggy" width="500" height="365" /></a> </p> <p> Ben says: <i>The thing that always excited me about the space themed LEGO when I was a kid was the sense of adventure and exploration that it embodied. Always being a sci-fi/space geek it was always easy to use just a little imagination to cast your little plastic space adventurers to the farthest corners of some distant galaxy without ever leaving your bedroom.</i> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketandroll/3383928319/"><img src="/sites/neoclassicspace/files/u3/omega5-03.jpg" alt="Omega 5 base" width="343" height="500" /></a> </p> <p> <i>The Omega 5 Research Station was inspired by that same idea... the massive communications array is needed to keep contact with home over such a great distance, transmitting back data bout the distant planet on which it was built. Once the base was finished I couldn't help but make the little 'Scanning Rover' to help the explorers cover a little more terrain.</i> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketandroll/3383928117/"><img src="/sites/neoclassicspace/files/u3/omega5-04.jpg" alt="Big sensor array" width="333" height="500" /></a> </p>
