Nauvoo

Nauvoo appears in The Expanse.

The Nauvoo, a massive generation ship designed to carry Mormon pioneers to a new planet, debuts in the series as a symbol of humanity's expansionist dreams but quickly becomes a pawn in interstellar conflict. Repurposed as the Medina Station after a catastrophic collision, it evolves into the strategic heart of the slow zone, controlling access to the ring gates and the thousand worlds beyond. Its transformation underscores the series' themes of ambition, adaptation, and the unintended consequences of protomolecule technology.
