Thought of this while watching Aliens (The movie) on TV; it's not quite finished yet but I figured I'd go ahead and put it here for people to see.

Name: KDRH-494
Nickname: Xenobiologist's Nightmare (?)
Physical description of the station: From the exterior of KDRH-494, one could almost immediately tell something is wrong on board. Several full hull plates have fallen off, revealing the circuitry beneath, and several hull breaches are present. The entirety of the docking bay has been ripped off, meaning that one of the only ways on board is via a short space walk until one reaches the exposed airlock or preforming a very risky maneuver to "dock" with the airlock. All but one of the station's solar panels has been torn off as well, forcing everything but essential systems to be powered off.
History of the station: KDRH-494 was once one of many kaikian Database and Research hubs until a xenobiology experiment went horribly wrong.
At some point, an exotic animal trader passed by the station, and the station purchased several highly aggressive creatures that were never previously seen by the kaikians. The crew began performing experiments on the creatures, when they quickly found that the creatures carry their fertilized egg sacks with them, and found out even quicker that said eggs hatch when their carrier dies, and grow very rapidly. The station was very quickly overrun by the creatures, nicknamed the Shikushi, and all but one of the crew-members perished.
Since then, the station has been abandoned, and the creatures left to survive off of the food replicators and corpses of the dead on the station.
Special: Shikushi Infestation: This station is infested with deadly creatures known as the Shikushi, who are highly aggressive and territorial, and thus wont take kindly to visitors. It is recommended that one does NOT board the station, unless they have quite literally no other option available.
Trivia: Officially, the station is "pending destruction" by the Kaikian government, though it has been for quite some time. A few conspiracy theorists speculate that the Kaikians are keeping it for the purpose of unleashing the Shikushi upon any enemies they may gain in the future.
