Description

This is an example of a typical large habitat space station built to provide inexpensive housing for a nearby orbital factory or shipyard. They have become more common since the end of the Fourth Succession War as a place to house workers. Such stations house 15,000 or more people.

Weapons and Equipment

These stations are usually unarmed and modestly armored.

Cargo

Cargo Bays are often quite large as they don't tend to add much to the cost of the facility and provide considerable utility.

  • Bay 1: Small Craft (40) - 5 doors
  • Bay 2: Cargo (136,801 tons) - 2 doors

Variants

There are thousands of variations with different combinations of DropShip docking facilities, cargo, grav deck(s), accommodation and small craft storage.
