The Federation operates a large number of space stations, many of which are built and administered by Starfleet.

Spacedocks

While originally there was only one Spacedock, Earth Space Dock, others were built around the Federation and became the Spacedock-class. This is now a category of station entirely, which refers to the very largest space stations built by the Federation, all of which contain a massive hanger for servicing multiple starships at the same time internally. These massive stations serve as starship construction and repair facilities, orbital habitats, scientific research bases, major defensive installations, and command and control hubs for large areas of space. Typically, they have a crew of tens of thousands, with the capacity to house fifty to a hundred-thousand civilian residents.

Aurora-class
Guardian-class
Spacedock-class

Spacedocks In-Play

  • These are the largest stations in service. Even the Aurora-class which is roughly a third the size of a Guardian-class station is capable of holding dozens of starships at a time and a massive crew. These bases are located in key areas around the Federation, serving as anchors for entire sectors, and sometimes multiple sectors. It would be extremely difficult to assault one of these bases, as they have some of the most powerful shielding of any space vehicle, fixed or otherwise.
  • Spacedocks are not available for member-run fictions, but there are several such bases associated with the Fourth Fleet, however: Starbase 72, Starbase 86, Starbase 38, and Starbase Bravo, which you can use in your own stories.

Large Space Stations

Large space stations are designed as any station having a crew complement of less than five-thousand but more than one-thousand, with civilian populations anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand. The three bases in this category are more than suitable as stand-alone starbases, the centerpiece of fleet yards, or as the orbital component of major planetary facilities.

Canopus-class
Presidium-class
Unity-class

Canopus-class

Unity-class

Presidium-class

Medium Space Stations

Small Space Stations
