Replenisher class refueling station

A standard United Orcs resupply and refueling station for long range starships, a Replenisher class refueling station acts as the nervous center of a vast network of collector arrays in orbit around a star, designed to collect enormous quantities of solar energy and raw material. These resources are then used to manufacture antimatter based fuel for starships, stations, and planets.

While the actual collector arrays are located inside the star's outer atmosphere, the station itself typically orbits further away from the star - close enough for maximum energy collection, yet far enough to prevent destruction of the station.

The process is fully automated, requiring no crew presence on the station. Crew quarters, life support and heavy radiation shielding are provided on some areas of the station, however, for the occasional command and maintenance crews visiting it.
