Space stations! Awesome structures floating in space; they don't usually move, but are not exclusively immobile. They serve as halfway points, pitstops, cities, and home bases of space, and these Templates are here to help you design your own!

As per use', this template comes in three sizes for your convenience! Mini, for your bare-bones basics, Medium for a few more details to build an image in people heads, and Ultra if you really wanna get grilled on it!
