Outpost #01 is also callled Oversight. Headquarters of Makiel’s First Division: the Hounds

Hounds Headquarters

See good description in Skysworn, ch 2, brief excerpt here:

The north pole of Oversight’s main planet. Makiel’s home. She glanced down at the two hundred meters of snow and ice beneath her: this was Makiel’s front door. Suriel tapped the Way, flexing her authority as the sixth Judge of the Abidan Court. Blue power flared from her back like wings, and the seal on the door responded. A symbol shone blue in response: a three-headed dog, one hundred meters in diameter. The symbol of the Hounds. (Skysworn, ch 2)

The main HQ for the entire Abidan Court is on the world of Sanctum, but Makiel moved his own Hounds of Fate operational center far away, to Outpost 01, also called Oversight.

  • Outpost 01
Also known as Oversight. Makiel himself had created this system, hand-selecting the fragments from the void and binding them together with the force of his will. He had positioned it here, manipulating the Way to enforce natural laws.
This system is in the center of The Way just as the heart is the center in a network of veins. One blue-and-green planet of standard size orbited by no less than sixteen moons. Each of the moons was so close that it almost looked like they skated along the planet's surface, city lights blanketing every surface over all the seventeen spheres.
The inhabitants of Outpost lived as naturally as they would in an Iteration, but with an endless blue sky devoid of sun or stars. Twelve billion people lived here, and the vast majority of them were not Abidan. They were simply people. They went about their lives, living and dying with no knowledge of the greater cosmos.
This was the headquarters of Makiel’s First Division: the Hounds.
