The Natopian International Space Station (NISS) is a large structure orbiting Micras. It is home to the Sovereign Natopian Empire's Spacefleet Headquarters and Spacefleet Academy. Aside from these Natopian institutions, the station is open to the international community, presently limited to civilian missions from nations of the Raspur Pact and Xäiville Convention. Training symposiums, scientific research requiring specially created environments not available on the ground, and spaceflight training is offered to foreign powers on an open but conditional basis.
While the station is operated by a branch of the Natopian Defense Force, it is treated as international jurisdiction, except in matters pertaining to station security and defence. A section of the station has been reserved for embassies of any nation who request them for coordination of that nations space interests or for a neutral area for diplomatic mediation.
