T.N.F. Orbital Station 'Echo'

While its main task is to defend smaller high-value objects from limited enemy raids, the Echo Orbital Station is mostly used as a resupply point for warship squadrons. It has a fairly large cargo hold which it can replenish using its drill drone, refinery and assemblers. It also has a utility drone to aid warship repairs, making the locations of Echo-class stations well-used by warship squadrons when returning from combat.

As Echo stations normally do not use manned spacecraft, the crew is small and consists mainly of engineers whose task is to gather resources and use these to conduct warship repairs.

Echo stations are typically placed far away from active combat zones, and are rarely alone, and as such they are lightly armored and carry limited weaponry. In order to have a spacious cargo hold and proper life support, several components are placed on the station's exterior.
