Cardan IV-class space station

The Cardan IV-class space station was a model of space station/shipyard utilized by both the Galactic Empire and its major rival, the Astragon Empire.

Characteristics
This type of space station was responsible for the construction of several Astragon mainstays; Acclamator-class assault ships, Victory-class Star Destroyers, and both frigate varieties used by Astragon's first sector.

This class of station possessed an efficient power generator, which allowed multiple weapons systems to defend itself if necessary. Three Heavy Turbolaser cannons, three laser cannon batteries, and two heavy ion cannons made up its primary armament. These wre supplemented by two assault concussion missile tubes and two heavy proton torpedo tubes.

These stations can also deploy a full wing of starfighters to assist in defense. In total, this equaled 72 starfighters; they could also carry eight shuttles.
