Sirius Space Port
This space port, in orbit around the capitol planet in the Sirius system, was completed three years after the start of the war with the Arkanin of the Othaen Federation. It does all the things you would imagine a space port in the mid-2300's would do, really.
Solar panels were included in older plans, but were later scrapped because, even when you're around two of the most luminescent stars around, nuclear fusion is still a more efficient means of generating energy.
That, and when the planet you live on is only habitable because of its distance from its binary stars, you don't get a whole lot of photon particles to capture. Sorry to say this, ecomongers, but when you're deep in space; photovoltaic panels really suck.
