Description
The Alliance-class space station is designed to facilitate major repair and construction of small craft and DropShips. In addition, the station is used to construct some small DropShips. Such stations are normally located in orbit around a major industrial world, particularly those without planet-based construction facilities. The waitlist for service at these repair facilities is long.[2] Often, stations located at major construction sites serve as administrative centers for orbiting drydocks.
The Alliance looks like a long-stemmed mushroom with a crossed base. The large dome is the station's primary hull, which measures 600 m in diameter. The cross member at the base of the station is the DropShip docking facility and is 540 meters long. Massing 100,000 tons, the Alliance is one of the smallest space stations operating today.
Cargo
The Alliance-class has a Cargo Bay capable of holding up to 80,000 tons through two doors and can operate two unpressurized repair bays for vessels under 50,000 tons.[2]
Notes
- In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to Allianz.
