4077 Asuka (also called 1982 XV1) is a Main Belt asteroid. It was discovered on December 13, 1982 by Hiroki Kosai and Kiichiro Hurukawa at Kiso, Japan, Earth. Asuka was named for the Asuka Era, from the fifth and sixth centuries CE when the capital of Japan was in the Asuka area.
During the Boskone War, the Fenspace Convention chose Asuka as the site of a major medical facility because of its Minor Planet Center designation number 4077. A majority of the hospital staff, and all of the original staff, are Blue Blazers.
The Nikaido Foundation has a major depot here for its Disaster Relief Housing Program, and supplies the bulk of the funding for the asteroid's permanent medical facilities. The Roughriders patrol the space around 4077 Asuka to a distance of 50,000 km
The permanent habitation on Asuka is called Ville de Larrey (or, informally, just Larrey) after Dominique Jean Larrey, the first modern military surgeon and the inventor of both the ambulance and the MASH unit. Larrey's current Chief Administrator, Blake Stevenson, is also an emergency medical technician.
