Fun read, but how close was the Lagrange Point??

Something something orbital mechanics waves hands vaguely. L1 is far enough away that it would be easier to just dump the Object into the star instead of doing a rendezvous with the planet, and it would have made more sense to just have the station be in orbit, but it's my right as a space fantasy science fiction writer to follow in the "parsec" tradition and misuse impressive-sounding terminology.
(The main reason I didn’t want to put the station in orbit is because then it'd be easy enough that I'd lose my justification for the Eternal Dynasty hiring a contractor instead of just dealing with it themselves.)
