Phil Ross is the manager of that station. The purpose of the station is to provide a place for commerce and trade to take place. Being situated where it is, the station is also often dragged into unfortunate situations and often becomes the location for less-than-legitimate activity.

Phil Ross and his staff find themselves constantly dealing with situations that often have huge implications for a great many worlds.

Phil and his staff go by a simple guiding principle to get them through situations, and that is to do the decent thing, whatever the challenge may be.

The result is a multiworld criminal syndicate has been put back on its heels, and the slave trade was dealt blows that they may not recover from.
