Where are Nodes 11, 12, 13, and 14 physically located?

Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives.
In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.

If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt?

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.'

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.
