The Virtupets Space Station - later referred to as Virtupets Orbital Space Station #4 - is an space station brought into Neopia orbit by Dr. Frank Sloth during the course of the Arrival of Virtupets plot, from which he intended to fire a mutation rare in order to transfigure Neopets into his slaves.
After Dr. Sloth's plan was thwarted, the Space Station remained in orbit, abandoned. It was re-inhabited by Neopians where it became much like a futuristic arcade. It became a popular tourist destination, despite the re-emergence of one of Dr. Sloth's old projects, Neopet Version 2, which kidnapped four visitors until the machine was deactivated.

Yooyuball
Virtupets Space Station's Yooyuball team is a solid team of role players, though they are unspectacular in play. But due to star forward Keetra Deile, she uses her brilliance and talent to elevate the play of those around her, making the team seem better than one would initially think. During Altador Cup 2006, winning the tournament was viewed highly unlikely by the fans, but they believed an "upset" in the first or second round of the tournament wouldn't be out of the question. With their defeat by the Lost Desert in Round One, they failed to live up to the hype.
In Altador Cup 2007, the Virtupets is once more led by up-and-coming superstar Keetra Deele, who vowed to take on much more responsibility for the team's scoring needs that year. With Deele picking up the scoring slack and newcomer Sela Pretore stepping in for underwhelming defender Kerib Vickers, it was hoped the Space Station could rise up and surprise the experts.
Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):
| Year | Goalkeeper | Left Defender | Right Defender | Left Forward | Right Forward |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006 | Z-4B Goalinator | Kerib Vickers | Weldar Xupenfarb | XL Striker 3.8 | Keetra Deile |
| 2007 | Sela Pretore | ||||
| 2008 | Goltron Mk I | ||||
| 2009 |
