-The //Mole Hill// is the unofficial nickname given to (312619) 2009 SS<sub>246</sub>, an 11km diameter Trojan asteroid in the Greek camp (ahead of Jupiter, at L4). It has formed from an amalgamation of other asteroid fragments, and has varied compositions because of this.+The //Mole Hill// is the unofficial nickname given to (312619) 2009 SS<sub>246</sub>, an 11km diameter Trojan asteroid in the Greek camp (ahead of Jupiter, at L4).

-It is a //Beehive// settlement, mostly silica, with enough of a rotation to provide a .2g gravity around the equator.

Given the irregular shape of the asteroid, the exact gravity varies depending on where you are. It was originally populated prior to the Fall, but has become mostly deserted since then. The current population inhabits just a small part of the station.
