Introduction:

Welcome to Heavens Starbase. The nexus of interstellar space travel in the LEGO universe! Heavens Starbase is located on a seemingly barren exoplanet and is designed to be mostly self-sufficient. It features several amenities that lure in space travelers from each corner of the galaxy. This starbase contains various modular buildings that are connected together using technic pins around each doorway. They can be rearranged in various different ways and are compatible with 2024 LEGO Space sets.

Although the exoplanet might appear void of water and life, it contains vast water reservoirs below the surface and large alien animals that roam the surface. This base pumps water from one of the deep reservoirs and collects it in a large aquarium. Genetically modified fish are used to remove toxins from the water so that it can be used around the station. These fish were also created to be a superfood. They quickly reproduce and can be made into a paste that is used in the 3D food printer located in the diner. This printer can create a variety of foods with different flavors thanks to the variety of fish in the aquarium.

The filtered water from the large tank is used all around the base including the bathroom and greenhouse. In the greenhouse, the water is used to maintain alien plants healthy. These plants are super producers of oxygen and the oxygen emitted from their unique round leaves is collected and used to refill air tanks. There is a large alien tree in the greenhouse that produces fruits full of nutrients. They are used to make energy drinks that are found in the vending machine and can also be used in the food printer to create a larger variety of foods. The plants that are cared for in the greenhouse are part of a bigger project to research how to terraform the entire planet.

Main building Module:

The main building is the main hangout area for distant travelers.

The first floor contains a diner where the 3D food printer is located. Several different foods can be seen scattered around the table. Some of the food is shipped in from other planets but the most popular menu item here are the burgers that are said to be “out of this world”. The screen on the TV shows a fighting video game depicting a knight vs a pirate where travelers use controllers to battle and see what the best LEGO theme is… although we all know its space. There are more objects that decorate the room including two big signs, globe, plant, fish tank, and crystal.

The second floor has a storage area for space helmets and tanks. It also stores a dive suit used to clean the aquarium. Several pieces of gym equipment including a bike, treadmill, and dumbbell rack are used to keep space travelers healthy and fit.

The top of this building functions as a landing pad for ships on a first come first served basis.

Elevator Module:

This elevator is fully functional and transports minifigures between three floors.

The first floor contains a charging station for a buildable robot that does a lot of the heavy lifting around the base including relocation and packing of shipping containers.

The second floor has the energy drink vending machine with a neat spaceship print on the side. There is also an espresso machine located here.

The third floor features a control room with several computers that monitor incoming ships and receive signals from other bases. On top of the elevator there is a large antenna that allows for interstellar communication.

Aquarium Module:

The bottom floor of this module contains a bathroom that is run on filtered water, the shower features sliding doors and all shower amenities. Not a single thing is wasted at this base. Waste is collected and repurposed to fertilize the plants in the greenhouse.

The second floor holds the aquarium and some fishing accessories as well as a stairway to the top landing pad where a shipping container can be placed. The aquarium hatch can be rotated to make the fish swim inside.

Greenhouse Module:

This greenhouse only contains one floor with a big removable glass roof. There is a big alien tree in the middle with two smaller alien plants on the side. A wheelbarrow with scissors is located here for transport of the dark pink alien fruit. There is also a small wood bench where minifigures can sit and relax. A research journal with detailed notes about the alien plants sits on the bench for travelers to read. On top of the removable roof is a statue of an angelic being holding a trident and a lamp symbolizing how Heavens Starbase is a beacon of light for all space travelers.

Minifigs:

There are 8 minifigures included with the set: Two base workers, 4 space travelers, a space suit in the storage area, and the statue at the top of the greenhouse.

Vehicles:

There are four vehicles included with the set. Two starships that are used for interstellar travel and a helicopter and balloon pod used for domestic missions.

The balloon pod is used to research the surface and atmosphere of the planet. It contains lab equipment to inspect soil samples and crystals found on the planet's surface. It also contains equipment to research weather from high in the atmosphere as well as on the surface. There are emergency blasters and communications equipment inside the pod for unforeseen encounters with hostile alien life.

The helicopter is used for transportation of fish and fruit to local bases and launch stations where they can be processed to be made into food paste. It also is used delivery of other materials from the nearby launch station.

Both starships contain fusion reactors fitted for space travel. They both feature large spinning turbines. They are equipped with space blasters to quickly deal with obstacles in space and to defend against attacks from enemies trying to destroy friendly space bases. The bigger of these two ships also features retractable landing gear. The attached video demonstrates the functions on an earlier version of the starship.
