Ceres Station

Location from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey

The largest station in the Belt, spun up for gravity centuries ago. Home to millions of Belters living in tunnels carved through the dwarf planet. OPA stronghold, Star Helix policing, and the place where Miller worked his last honest case.

Also known as: Ceres, Ceres Station

What They Know

• Spun up for gravity centuries ago — the deeper toward the core you go, the weaker the spin gravity becomes, creating economic stratification by level
• Water is imported from Saturn's rings and rationed — the station's survival depends on a supply chain that crosses the entire outer system
• Star Helix Security polices Ceres under contract, enforcing laws written by Earth for a population that considers Earth an occupier
• Miller worked as a Star Helix detective on Ceres before the Julie Mao case changed everything
• Anderson Dawes operated the OPA's political wing from Ceres, building Belter solidarity through organizing and occasional violence
• The station has been controlled by Earth, the OPA, and the Free Navy at different points — each transition marked by violence and rationing
