In the North East corner of the Toxic Valley, I happened upon the apparent crash of a space station shaped like a wheel. On further investigation, I found the station had separated into 5 main segments. The largest piece had markings on the side which identified the station as the "Valiant".
In the southern most segment of the crash, I found an inventory list that confirmed this. The inventory listed objects that were stored in Airlock C7, and included an access code. However, upon inspection of section C7, which had separated from the main portion of the station, I found the airlock to be inaccessible. I also couldn't find anywhere that an access code might be entered.

Scattered around the crash site were long dead corpses wearing Vault Tec lab coats. I found this odd, as Vault Tec specialized in underground nuclear bunkers. What were they doing with a space station? Perhaps they were investigating the possibility of off-world shelters?

Another separated section of the space station, for which I could find no identifying marks, was partially embedded into the rock in which it crashed. A blue door was visible from inside the section, but could not be opened. It's unclear if there is a portion of the station hidden behind this door, or if the door is simply pressed against the rock.

Evidence Review:
- The Valiant Space Station was a Vault Tec research station as evidenced by the corpses in Vault Tec lab coats.
- The space station must have crashed shortly after the bombs fell, as evidenced by decomposition of the skeletal corpses.
Lingering Questions:
- What was the purpose of the station?
- What caused it to crash?
- What, if anything, is inside Airlock C7 or the blue door?
- Could anything significant been salvaged from the crash site?
