Space Station Venetia

From far away, their destination glittered in space like a 3D snowflake. Nearer and nearer it loomed, until the centre was like a huge mirror-ball. The ship docked from the side which faced the sun. The shuttle's sound became a low whisper and its speed slackened. The outside panels slid apart and the shuttle advanced to the arrivals dock. They had arrived safely - on Space Station Venetia.
