Tycho Station is a massive Belt construction and shipbuilding station run by Fred Johnson, serving as the public face of the OPA's moderate wing. In Leviathan Wakes it becomes a refuge and base of operations for James Holden's crew of the Rocinante, and its giant construction project, the generation ship Nauvoo, is ultimately repurposed as a weapon to strike Eros. In Caliban's War it remains the Rocinante's home port and a hub of OPA politics, where Holden's growing distrust of Fred Johnson strains the alliance even as the station stays central to the crew's operations.
