Listening Post X-19

Listening Post X-19 was built shortly after the Rachni Wars around Year 300 CE, just in case any rachni survived the annihilation of Suen by the Krogans. The post orbits the mass relay in the Maskim Xul System and is still manned and maintained, although today it largely exists as a customs checkpoint for researchers studying the rachni homeworld. Among members of the Council militaries, being assigned to the station is seen as a form of punishment or exile, considering that there have been no signs of sapient life on Suen for over a thousand years.
Post X-19 was heavily armed during commissioning at 300 CE and was guarded with powerful shields because of the constantly radiation from the red dwarf sun. Today the Station doesnt have anymore useful weapons what was likely the reason that the Reaper left the station unnoticed.
