Notes
- Due to the early nature of space travel, this station does not hue to the Size + 8 stricture. Instead, it follows the standard ship rules, in regards to Size.
- The station's mission is to facilitate the development of lunar colonies, especially that of Goddard Moonbase. As such, the supporting nations for the moonbase also fund the station: United States (30%), Russia (30%), South Korea (17%), the European Union (15%), China (6%), and India (2%).
