Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Is it featured, referred to, or mentioned in the main FS2 campaign?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Is it featured, referred to, or mentioned in the main FS1 campaign?

No. And by campaign, I take it you mean cutscenes, briefings, debriefings, events, and dialogue?

Just to recap, the object is a station, referred to in canon sources, that probably existed before the events of FS1 - although we can't be sure.  It is not featured, mentioned, or referred to in either the FS1 or FS2 campaigns, but is featured in an FSPort campaign. It is not Tombaugh Station or the GTI Jotunheim.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Well, if it's canonical, that only leaves the original Silent Threat campaign (edit: or the FS Reference Bible (edit2: or, I guess, the Tech Room)).

Is it the Talus Mining Facility, aka the GTA Talus?

You're close enough that I'll take it.  ST:R's Talus accelerator complex, based on a reference in the Helios bomb's tech description.  There's the reason I couldn't outright say it was canon.

You guys decide who's next.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Ah, well, ST:R isn't canon, strictly speaking.  It does appear in the original Silent Threat campaign, but ST calls it a mining facility while ST:R calls it a particle accelerator complex.  The Helios description only says "particle accelerator complex near Antares".  It's a happy coincidence that ST:R's Talus would fit that description. :)

EDIT: Oh, I see what you did there.  "It's referred to in canon sources."  Tricky.

I'll pass my spot to Battuta.  For Battuta: Is it canonical?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
In case Battuta didn't see my edit, I'll post question #2: is it material?

They do. For purposes of this answer I'll treat 'voice from a ship' as a separate character — for example Slaying Ravana Alpha 2 is distinct from The Romans Blunder Alpha 2. 16 left!

Yes, they are named. 15.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Do they speak during the gameplay portion of a mission (i.e. in-flight, not the briefing/command briefing/debriefing)?
