Description[edit]
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[edit]
These stations are usually unarmed and modestly armored.
Cargo[edit]
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[edit]
There are thousands of variations with different combinations of DropShip docking facilities, cargo, grav deck(s), accommodation and small craft storage.
