'''Evensong''' was an orbital [[platform]] hanging between [[Wikipedia:Saturn|Saturn]] and [[Wikipedia:Uranus|Uranus]].{{book ref|Elysium}} It was the most remote of all the Outer Platforms, the farthest human outpost in deep-space. It is months away from Earth by ship.
Evensong was a flat piece of metal, fifty miles long, with buildings on both the top and bottom. The area on the top is called '''Topside'''. It was surrounded by a bubble of air, and ESG generators (Element-specific gravity generators) give it gravity, while
The buildings on Evensong were built of rich [[telanium]], a super-light, silvery metal that does not corrode or fall apart. Most of the buildings had been prefabricated with the platform. The buildings were spacious, well constructed, and sleek.

The buildings were spacious, well constructed, and sleek.{{book ref|Elysium}} Most buildings were poorly-lit, and its distance from the sun kept it in a perpetual state of twilight.{{book ref|Elysium}}
Evensong has a police force. Orson Ansed is a captain on it and [[Ken Harris]] is a relatively new officer. Evensong also has a research facility for the [[Phone Company]]. [[Denise Carlson]] was a researcher there before she disappeared.
The [[Superiority]] repurposed Evensong as their main communications hub, holding most of the [[taynix]], and specifically commslugs.{{book ref|defiant|20}} It is the site of a gargantuan battle between the human forces of [[Detritus]] and the Superiority, that ultimately leads to the fall of the Superiorities communications systems and the freedom of the taynix.{{book ref|defiant|29}}{{book ref|defiant|epilogue}}
