A Space Station is a spaceborne construction that usually (but not always) is placed in orbit around a planet, moon, or other such celestial body. They can be equipped with support facilities for population, trade, defense, and spacecraft repair and resupply.

Star Forts are particularly large and well-armed space stations, and often act as the home base for major war fleets.
