The '''''Hughes'''''-class [[space station]] was mentioned as a "massive mobile yard station", i.e. a space station built from smaller components or modules of no more than 100,000 tons each that could be carried on [[JumpShip]] [[hardpoint]]s like [[DropShip]]s (instead of having to be carried as cargo), to be joined together to form a much larger structure at the destination site. It is implied from the context that the ''Hughes'' class of yard stations was among the largest space stations ever constructed during the [[Star League era]].<ref name=IO>''Interstellar Operations'', p. 117</ref> No details are mentioned.

As of ca. [[3095]], [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] was mentioned to maintain one "''Hephaestos''-type ''Hughes''-class station, a modernized type of the station employed by Wolf's Dragoons," which served within their Empire as a mobile and critical source of [[Endo-Steel|endo-steel]] and ClanTech after their Abjuration.<ref>''Spotlight On: Hellion Keshik'', p. 2</ref> It implicitly also seems to confirm that the Dragoons' station was indeed also based on a ''Hughes'', and further implies that there is a ''Hephaestos'' subtype or variant of the ''Hughes'' used for manufacturing purposes.
