==Description==
The '''''Capitol'''''-class system-defense [[space station]] was designed by [[Federated-Boeing Interstellar]] to provide the anti-[[WarShip]] capability that the ''[[Bastion]]''-class lacks. Discarding anything that doesn't contribute to the station's mission, engineers were able to reduce the size of the ''Capitol'' to roughly half that of the ''Bastion'' while adding [[Naval Autocannon]] and [[Naval Laser]]s to the station. The smaller size also makes it easier for defenders to reposition the station, and a special [[JumpShip]] adapter means that the station can be used in offensive operations. The drawback to the JumpShip adapter is that it is very expensive. Coupled with the [[AFFS]]' perennial lack of adequate JumpShip assets, this means that the ''Capitol's'' capability in offensive operations remains mostly theoretical at this time.

Like all space stations, the ''Capitol'' has only a few station keeping engines to counter the forces of gravity. Lacking sufficient power to actually move the station, the ''Capitol'' requires a tug to reposition itself to engage enemy forces.
