Desolation moon and Krantor sector

[XoX]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a bit of trouble with the game. Does anyone know how on earth to fix the desolation moon?
With its escorts things are easy. I just set my construction ship's cursor over the top of them and clicked and they fixed. With the Desolation Moon itself though I can't seem to find any option to do anything....

Also- I'm going along unlocking the story but now I've reached this stage where I have to go a certain area of space (Dead zone or somesuch?) and when I get there there's a bazillion giant krantors. I keep being told of this place by alien races, when I uncover knowledge saying where to go next its there but...there's nothing there but the space critters. I should probally send a fleet to kill them when I have time but then what? There's no planets, abandoned ships or anything there.

You should be able to straight up repair it like the other ships. It takes a year or two to complete it, though.

There should be an abandoned space station there somewhere, maybe its hidden under the huge mass of krantors. If not, possibly it was destroyed by them after some other civilization activated it.

How odd.
I had it in one game but nothing. I thought maybe I'd made a mistake and half repaired it and it bugged up.
In the next game I played I found it again...and again my construction ships can do nought.
Do you need a certain tech level or something?

hmm, that sounds logical. Damn, there goes that game..

I had an instance where it took a bit of encouragement to get my constructor ships to repair it. It seemed that they would constantly just start wandering off and doing other things. Maybe its because you don't have the correct resources to repair them? I am 99% sure tech level doesn't matter, but you may need some certain type of resource.

It would be great if you added a spoiler alert here...

Oh man. I read something about "activate story" Then I skipped it.

Spoiler Alert please.
