Orbiting Karufr's moon Amaho, Infinity Station serves a dual purpose. The station is home to a modest research team attempting to uncover the secrets of Amaho's ocean: how and why the strange mix of chemicals found in the waters came to be. Several other projects are overseen by the group but remain classified. The primary purpose of the station is, however, governmental rather than scientific. It was originally constructed to serve as a secondary place to rule Clan Taldryan, and the Kr'Tal system, from. The station has been used to deliver addresses to the entire clan and is the place where the Consul prefers to receive visiting dignitaries.

While the glory and power of Clan Taldryan are demonstrated through huge size and imposing architecture in the Headquarters compound, Infinity Station relies on understated elegance to convey the same message. The two different approaches were specifically selected to show that Taldryan is not dominated by a single philosophy, but rather is open to any new idea which will aid it in it's goal of conquest and subjugation of the five lesser clans.

The landing bay of Infinity Station is decorated with a row of large banners representing Clan Taldryan, Houses Archanis, Dinaari and Ektrosis, as well as the reigning Consul's personal warbanner. Once visitors leave the docking bay, they are taken through hallways tiled in Wayland marble and decorated in artworks which were both purchased and seized by Clan Taldryan during its conquests.

There is a medium sized hall which the Consul uses as an audience chamber and has been the site of many addresses by the Consul. The hall is oblong shaped, with a large double door made of some of the last Kriin wood exported from Alderaan before its destruction by the first Deathstar. Opposite the door, there is a raised platform, it is from here that the reigning Consul grants audiences from his Greel wood throne - which is removed when he delivers an address. The State of the Clan Address for 27 ABY was delivered from this room in Infinity Station. There is not enough room for the entire clan in the hall, so the only individuals who were invited to attend the address in person were summit members from Clan Taldryan, former Consuls and Proconsuls, a hand full of members from each House, and the Dark Council. The address was broadcast in real time for the members of Taldryan who were not invited to the address.

In addition to its research and public relations functions, Duga Taldrya Arkarso added a private living suite to the station during his reign as Consul. Unlike the public areas of the station, this suite is fairly plain. While Taldryan is not above using opulence to impress visitors and remind them of the power and prestige of their hosts, the clan has not allowed its wealth and power to go to its head. The Consul's suite consists of four rooms: a small library and artifact room, a physical training room, a meditation room and a small sleeping room.

The library holds a small number of books from Taldryan's larger library which have been reserved for the Consul's use, or books which he has requested be sent up to Infinity Station. In addition, the room also has space to hold a few Dark Side artifacts which the Consul is studying. The room is very simple: the floors are wood and the walls are lined with wooden bookshelves. There is a large table in the middle of the room with a number of chairs around it. Duga Taldrya Arkarso was known for holding small meetings in this room, especially meeting with members of the Taldryan Summit. The best examples of Adegan crystals mined on Merach are sent to Infinity Station's artifact room to be held by the Consul and given out as rewards.

The physical training room is a medium sized open space used by the Consul to train his body to fight more effectively. The one notable thing about the room is that the floor, walls and ceiling are impregnated with cortosis to prevent a dropped or thrown lightsaber from puncturing the outer hull of the station.

The meditation chamber itself is fairly small and simple. The walls and floor are glossy black and the only things in the room are a few pillows for the Consul to rest on while meditating and a low table to hold holocrons, incense or any other meditation aid the Consul desires. One wall of the chamber is a window which looks out over Amaho. This is one of the most private areas in all of the Taldryan Dominion and the Proconsul is one of the few people who will be allowed into the meditation chamber.

The sleeping chamber is, as its name implies, a small room in the Consul's suite designed to allow him to sleep on the station when he desires to do so. Although it is not overly luxurious, the sleeping chamber is comfortable. It has a bed, night stand and a moderately sized closet, as well as an attached refresher station. Duga Taldrya Arkarso is known to spend many nights sleeping on Infinity Station, especially when he has dedicated himself to completing a project Sometimes he will spend weeks at a time on the station, which has caused members of Taldryan to wonder if their Consul had disappeared on them in the past.

Infinity Station follows in the footsteps of Darth Sidious' Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center: scientific research combined with governmental office and personal retreat.
