The checkpoint is home to a gang of Bandits led by Jack, and is featured in a quest given by Vano at Yanov station that requires the player to settle Vano's debt issue with regards to the Bandits. Jack sits in the office building, which is initially inaccessible without turning the group hostile, due to a bandit blocking the door; once Vano's mission has been accepted, the guard will allow passage.
Regardless of how the quest is completed, random stalkers may visit the checkpoint. If the mission is completed diplomatically, then Jack's bandits will start wandering around Jupiter, sometimes returning to the checkpoint at night.
