Graymalkin
Cable's space station, made with technology from 2000 years in the future and equipped with a time-displacement core and the teleportation unit that Cable used to "bodyslide." Graymalkin was run by the "Professor," a sentient computer who had once been X-Factor's Ship. When Cable brought Graymalkin to our time and placed it in orbit, it was cloaked, but a chance bump by a space shuttle revealed its existence, and S.H.I.E.L.D. went to investigate. They were encountered by X-Force, who considered any property belonging to Cable (who was presumed deceased at the time) to be their "inheritance." During the clash of the teams, Graymalkin was damaged, and after all aboard had evacuated, it exploded, but not before sending X-Force Cable's armory, hangar bay and vehicle bay. Actually, only a part of the station exploded, and the Professor used the distraction to recloak what remained.
Months later, however, Magneto pulled the pieces of Graymalkin together and used them to create Avalon, his new base. In a surprise raid, Cable was able to download the Professor into himself, but could not destroy the station. The Professor was then incorporated into X-Force's Camp Verde, AZ base, and became fully self-aware as Prosh after the Phalanx Covenant. Ironically, Prosh later re-created himself as a ship, leaving Earth to sail the stars once more.
Note: "Graymalkin" was so named to recall the street address of the X-Mansion, which is 1407 Graymalkin Lane in Salem Center, NY.
