Class V Spaceport

These stations form the majority of large ship building and space ports in primary systems and some of the more important secondary.

A Class V orbital spaceport, this has berths for hundreds of spaceships, multiple landing and launch facilities, surface to-orbit shuttles, and every amenity imaginable from crew union halls to high-tech training facilities. It can service, repair, and construct ships up to 100,000 tons (SM +12) internally; anything bigger than 100,000 tons docks outside using the external clamps.

This station consists of an 800-meter long spire with a habitat ring around its middle. This spins to provide gravity while the spire remains stationary to allow ships to dock at its front and rear; a rotating transit system provides access between the two. Farms in the partial-G upper decks of the habitat ring make the spaceport self-sufficient, while the 1G region is reconfigured as people and projects come and go.
