Solar System, Callisto Base.
After the Callisto Battle, the Twin Stars withdrew from Callisto, but the Robot Production Line they left behind was not dismantled. Instead, Nie Yun took the opportunity to turn it into another new base in the Solar System.
As Nie Yun put it, the Callisto Battle was Earth Civilization's first large-scale war against an outside enemy. By convention, once a world-class map like this had been "cleared," it generally became a "dungeon" where players could repeatedly farm experience.

Among the battle scenarios available for virtual training, the "Callisto Battle," which had made history in human space warfare, was both the closest to actual combat and the most popular training map for new recruits.
What was more, that stirring battle documentary had made this place the fourth-largest interstellar tourist destination, behind only Atlantis Spaceport, the Moon, and Mars.
Countless military enthusiasts and travelers from around the world came here in robot bodies through virtual reality technology. Some watched Earth Defense Force recruit training up close, while others explored the remnants of that battle on foot. The influx of visitors gradually brought prosperity to this barren world, which had lain silent for tens of millions of years.
