T.N.F. Orbital Station 'Delta'

As an answer to the need to protect objects of value without tying up combat ships, the Trans-Neptunian Fleet deploys Orbital Stations. One of the smaller classes of stations, the Delta-class has a docking capacity of three warships and one Icarus shuttle (or a craft of similar size). It also has a standing combat force of two Raptor light assault fighters which can be deployed on patrols or intercept missions. Delta-stations are typically placed near resource-rich asteroid clusters or dwarf planets of lower value.

It is relatively lightly armed and armoured, and is not designed to stand up to anything bigger than a fighter squadron or gunboats. It also lacks proper recreational facilities and requires a rotation of personnel from larger platforms or ships in order to maintain a healthy crew.

The Delta-class can not gather its own resources and needs to be continuously resupplied by the fleet. It can however produce construction components, and holds a fairly large standard stockpile of supplies. This makes Delta-class stations ideal resupply points for frigate squadrons.
