An X-band test station is being built at LLNL to support inverse Compton-scattering x-ray and gamma-ray source development. The major components for the X-band test station have been designed, fabricated, installed, and aligned. The XL-4 klystron has been delivered, dressed and installed in the ScandiNova modulator, and tested to full peak power. Final assembly and bakeout of RF transport, test station supports, and accelerator components is complete, and the current status of commissioning and first beam will be presented and discussed. Future upgrade paths and configuration for a variety of x-ray and gamma-ray applications will be discussed along with schedule for planned experiments.
