"Straylight, they call it. She told me, oh, it's pretty, all the pools and lilies. It's a castle, a real castle, all stone and sunsets."
Cath

The strictly private villa of Tessier-Ashpool, located at the "tip" of Freeside station. One can reach there climbing towards the narrow end. There is only one entry and every approach is guarded. Inside, there is zero gravity.

The interiors are top secret and aren't displayed in the Freeside wireframes.

Jimmy apparently broke into Straylight, lifted the talking head, after which the T-A sent their ninja assassin (perhaps Hideo) to retrieve it.

Later history[]

The Villa was cut off the the main Freeside spindle along with the T-A cores, which were towed to another orbit and sold for scrap.
