This article is a stub, meaning that it should be expanded. You can help the Holocron by adding to it.
A space station is a spacecraft lacking propulsion or landing systems. Its scope is not spaceflight but the life support of sentient beings for an extended period of time.
The very first space stations built in the galaxy were not personal dwellings or space colonies, rather they were laboratories to carry out researches not possible under a planet's gravity field.
With the advancements in technology and the explorations in deep space, sentient beings started to build outposts in space in order to have reference points and places where to dock their ships and carry out maintenance duties.
Today many different types of space stations exist, and they can be divided as follows:
- space colonies (Space Colony I, Space Colony II, Luxury Space Colony, Asteroid Hideout, Merchant Space Dock);
- shipyards (Shipyard I to IV);
- trading stations (Trading I, Trading II, Centrepoint Station);
- research and development platforms (R&D I to IV);
- medical stations (Hospital Platform XQ-2);
- military stations (Ataturk-class Station, Golan I, Golan II, Platform XQ1);
- recycling stations (Recycling I to IV);
- industrial production (Medical Factory Station, X7 Factory Station).
Noteworthy Space Stations
Two of the most ancient stations in the galaxy are stations that are no more. The Space Station Libra was destroyed during the Battle of Beta, while one is now a frozen moon, or at least this is what traditional lore says.
The R&D Station Daedalus in Republica system is very old and takes its name because it is quite difficult to move inside.
The galaxy offers other unique stations that are currently spinning in space. From the mysterious Maw Research Installation to the cultural and entertainment stations of the Galactic Museum and The Wheel.
