Conveniently located in Iro IX - Moon 6 - Ishukone Corporation Warehouse. The convenience stems from the following considerations :

There are two L2 Security agents here. For a new player just able to fly a battlecruiser class ship L2 missions are actually more efficient a use of time than L3 . There's also a L4 Mining agent one jump away (and a L1 Mining agent too, should you need a little standing top-up to talk to the L2 guys).

L2 missions are actually more efficient a use of time than L3 . There's also a L4 Mining agent one jump away (and a L1 Mining agent too, should you need a little standing top-up to talk to the L2 guys). Ishukone has the best research agent in the entire game : Tuotoh Kanaari, doing 336 RP/day in Caldari Starship Engineering, Graviton Physics, Hydromagnetic Physics,

Molecular Engineering and Quantum Physics. They also have the 2nd best L4 R&D agent (Ya Alhunaya). It's true Lai Dai has more of these L4 guys doing a little less RP/day, but the deal breaker is they have no double L2 agents in any system.

Iro is just far enough from Jita to allow for good trading, while it's just close enough to make travel there even multiple times a day reasonable. What's more, it's reasonably close to a large number of region edges (about nine various regions are within 20 jumps) which means you can work the markets to your heart's content. There's decent mining available all the way to Kernite (and indeed Fiery Kernite is a common enough sight in Iro's belts) in the system itself as well as in the surrounding areas.

I'm working to get a station up so we can do our very own research, too. So, if you're in EVE drop by and say hello! And if you own S.MPOE shares you get 1 share in the corporation for each 1`000 S.MPOE shares you own, no questions asked. Claim ingame!
