Waystation
The Waystation Class small space station is used by the SDC as outposts for refuelling and replenishing passing vessels and serving as a conduit for communications between ships and colonies in Sagittarius.  They have hangar space for several large landers or a host of smaller craft, cargo volume for propellant storage and transitional storage of cargoes intended for use on the surfaces of worlds, and living space accomodations for the families of station crew as well as passengers awaiting a starship to arrive.  The Waystation is lightly armed and armored to discourage pirate attacks, and is capable of very sluggish movement once the habitat wheel’s spin is arrested.  There are dozens of Waystation class space stations in service with the SDC and with several colonies and private companies.  Waystations under SDC control in remote or sparsely populated systems are known as Waypoints or Ice Stations, depending on their specific function, and will often have a Salvor rescue cutter in a nearby parking orbit on call for deployment in emergencies.
