Cardan II-class space station

The Cardan II-class space station was the next level of space station utilized in the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
The Cardan II space station is meant to be deployed as a shipyard/planetary defense platform. It is more heavily armed than the Cardan I-class space station, and can carry more starfighters.

These stations were armed with three turbolaser batteries, three point-defense ion cannon batteries, two proton torpedo tubes, and two tractor beam projectors. They supplement their defense with 24 starfighters and four shuttles.

Cardan IIs are capable of building ships up to 600 meters in length; this includes the vitally important Commando-class escort carrier and the regular 500m-long Escort Carrier. Since these two ship classes, among all others up to 600 meters (which happens to be almost all of them), Cardan IIs are the most important space station class known.
