Collier
The Collier Class space station is a common sight throughout human space, acting in a variety of roles as a cargo transfer point and refueling depot depending on the configuration of its internal holds.  One or more Colliers are encountered wherever a space facility such as a Banks or Waystation class habitat are found.  The design is optimized for maximum cargo capacity, and has little to offer for self-defense, traveling accommodations, or other functions.  The design is strictly utilitarian, and as such, duty on a Collier is considered unglamorous at best.  Nevertheless, the Collier and similar designs form the backbone of any interstellar infrastructure.  The Collier, like other hub and wheel design space stations, may be linked together to form larger complexes to meet the needs of a system or world, and it is not uncommon for a refueling depot to have four or more stations linked to provide up to 40,000 tons of reaction mass for passing starships.  The SDC has over sixty Colliers in service throughout Sagittarius assisting Waystations, Ice Stations, and serving as transfer depots for freighters, and plans construction and deployment of an additional forty stations over the next ten years as infrastructure improvements.
