In 2179, Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley was taken to Gateway Station, after a deep-space salvage vessel rescued her after 57 years of hypersleep aboard the shuttle Narcissus, and was placed in a recovery room under the care of a medical technician. In 2176, the USS Sulaco was involved in a docking accident at Gateway Station that claimed the lives of five crew members, helping to cement the ship's already unfavorable reputation as an unlucky vessel. Gateway Station was constructed in 2130, and locked in geosynchronous orbit over Quito, Ecuador. Elements of the United States Colonial Marine Corps's Marine Space Force, Sol were also stationed there. The United States AeroSpace Force maintained an Aerospace school for future USASF officers on the station. Pets were not legally allowed on Gateway Station, though an exception was made for Jones the cat when he stayed there with Ripley. Ellen Ripley briefly resided on Gateway in 2179 after being rescued from deep space, before she settled in an apartment on Earth. A fleet of maintenance shuttles oversaw the upkeep of the station's external structure. It contained extensive residential areas, and many crew and staff lived there permanently. Gateway Station was built almost entirely from advanced plastics.
