The Club Ninja station orbiting Kerbin at 300 km altitude at a 45-degree inclination.
- I installed supports on that curve, slightly deviating from the original appearance, so that it didn’t wobble and break off during flight.
Album cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s Club Ninja.
With as wacky a design that station has, I’m surprised nobody else tried making a replica of it in KSP yet.
- I can thank my girlfriend for getting me into classic rock.
Details

- Class: station
- Part Count: 446
- Pure Stock

Description
(Attempt at a) replica of the space station shown on the album cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s Club Ninja
(1985). Building the four main spokes was easy, but installing the curved entry port on one of them was not.
I guess I’ll see y'all Dancin’ in the Ruins
tonight.
Transport shuttles not included.
A stock rocket called Club Ninja. Built with 446 of the finest parts, its root part is cupola.
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.12.4.
The station at the VAB fully loaded with a glimpse of what’s in ALL EIGHT hitchhiker storage container cargo holds (yes, each module has jetpack fuel and repair kits) and the science lab.
Feel free to load it up with more.
Sorry, Jeb, there was a mix-up in personnel assignments. Dr. Kado Kerman was supposed to man the test launch, not you.
Besides, since when were you a fan of Purple Clam Cult?
The station in position after its third test run (the first two ended in wobbling before leaving the atmosphere). As seen on the delta-V gauge, it has plenty of delta-V left for a trip to the Mun or Minmus. Maybe even a stop at Eve or Ike.

The parachutes in the final stage are for when you want to return the rockets semi-intact when you’re done positioning the station above Kerbin.
Fourth Test Run Takeaways
After the 300-km at 45-degree test run was confirmed successful, another prototype was launched at an equatorial orbit. It ended up with 2,870 m/s of delta-V left at 140 km, confirming that the station can fly to at least Duna.

If I feel like making a Club Ninja Mk. II, I’ll modify the delivery rockets to go nuclear and take me farther than Dres.
