Toshley's Station is agnome-runAlliance settlement found inBlade's Edge Mountains. Gnomes perform their craziest experiments here. It is managed byToshley, and was the only known gnome-only town untilFizzcrank Airstrip in theBorean Tundra was added later.

Apparently, the gnomes of Toshley's Station resided inSylvanaar until the night elves there sent them away as a result of the interference of the gnomes' machines and experiments on the efforts of the night elves.

There is aninn and a flight point is available here, whilst players specialized inGnome Engineering can teleport near this place with the [Ultrasafe Transporter: Toshley's Station]. The teleport pad is some distance outside town, allowing Horde engineers to teleport here without suffering attacks from the town guards.

TheZephyrium Capacitorium is a device in Toshley's Station that players can repeatedly access after completing some quests fromTally Zapnabber. It throws the player into the air and allows them to glide to nearby locations includingEvergrove,Razaan's Landing, andSinging Ridge.

Horde players are highly advised to stay away from the area. The guards are very powerful, fast, have a large aggro radius, and devastating ranged gun attacks (the guards all carry a[Core Marksman Rifle]...an ominous sign). There are also flying machines that will blow you off your flying mount.

Inspiration[]

• The name is a reference to Tosche Station, a settlement on Tatooine, fromStar Wars. One of the quests available here is namedPicking Up Some Power Converters, which is what Luke Skywalker claimed he was going to do at Tosche Station.
• Every so often,ravagers will attack the outpost in a scene reminiscent ofStarship Troopers. The attack is repelled by an eyepatch-wearing gnome named Razak Ironsides and Razak's Roughriders, a group ofmechanostrider-riding soldiers. This is a reference to "Rasczak's Roughnecks" and the character Lieutenant Rasczak, played by Michael Ironside in the movieStarship Troopers. Also, quests are available fromDizzy Dina, based on the character Dizzy Flores played by Dina Meyer.
• The sentry before the trail to Toshley's Station is R-3DO, mix of R2-D2 and C-3PO fromStar Wars. His speech and behavior has also a little flavor of Marvin's speak fromThe Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (as well as referring to the now-defunct 3DO video game console).
• The engineer running the transporter pad is named Smiles O'Byron, a reference to the character Miles O'Brien, engineer (and transporter operator) seen inStar Trek: The Next Generation andStar Trek: Deep Space Nine.
• The Station Sharpshooters' quote: "Somebody call for an exterminator?" is a reference to the Ghost unit from the game Starcraft.
