Orbit dock
Orbit docks spin in space above planets, providing landing and maintenance
facilities and other services to spacers and their ships. Some docks are
equipped to handle large capital ships
with connecting boarding tubes. Others have landing bays for small freighters.
A few can even administer to the needs of gigantic container
ships that ply the space lanes. Large orbit docks have multiple docking
facilites and operate like small space stations. With one or two capital-ship
dry docks, hangar bays, and multiple docking tubes, these facilities can
cater to vehicles ranging in size from light
freighters to large capital ships. These multidocks are usually constructed
around multiple level entertainment areas. Services often include motel
cubes, space stop cafes and cantinas, holovid and live entertainment,
and even dock markets.
