Vesper Defense Outpost

''"VESPER DEFENSE OUTPOST is situated on the outer edge of ALIMBIC territory. Serving as a refueling station and munitions dump, subzero temperature is mainted to prevent overheating of fusion-powered weapons systems. Structural failure of fuel containers has resulted in a vast radioactive spill into space, leaving toxic and explosive fuel frozen to the sides of the structure." - Metroid Prime: Hunters Logbook Entry''

Vesper Defense Outpost (also called the VDO) is a space station in Metroid Prime Hunters. It is the third or fourth place you visit depending on whether you choose to go to here or Arcterra after visiting Alinos.

The Outpost
As scans of the computer console in front of the landing platform in the VDO Gateway (shown above) say, The Vesper Defense Outpost was an Alimbic munitions dump which was kept at sub-zero temperatures to prevent reactivating fusion-powered weapons systems. Other, more powerful weapons were held in places like the Fuel Stack in shielded antigrav suspension beams. In the absence of the Alimbics, however, many of the VDO's containment units lost structural integrity, leading to a perpetual coating of frozen weapons fuel around the station. As with all Alimbic areas visited by Samus in the Alimbic Cluster during Metroid Prime: Hunters, it has a number of cybernetic security devices (listed above) to guard it in the Alimbics' absence, as well as aliens who have infested the VDO.
