![]() Being born from the fusion of Macross with two other series, Robotech also has the Zentraedi Factory Satellite (through renamed as the Robotech Factory Satellite.In Macross II's Alternate Continuity Zentraedi Fleets appear to only have a single satellite each, with the UN Spacy capturing the one of the Bodol fleet and the one of a different Zentraedi Main Fleet.The original series shows the UN Spacy hijacking one of the defeated Bodol Main Fleet, with expanded universe material adding they actually hijacked the whole set and that human emigration fleets will do the same to any satellite they stumble upon. It failed, but they still haven't learned how to repair and build things by themselves). Macross features the Zentraedi Factory Satellite, a gigantic automated factory for the guns, ships and battlepods of the Zentraedi, with every Zentraedi main fleet having about twenty, and completely necessary for the Zentraedi continual survival due their inability to build and repair ships anything by themselves (the Protoculture, who created the Zentraedi as their slave soldiers, made sure they wouldn't have these abilities as an additional way to control them.Their capital Lakfakalle is a gigantic swarm of huge spacestations orbiting a star in a system with no habitable worlds. This fits with their view of themselves their society's name in their language means "Kin of the Stars", and they consider space to be their "homeland". Crest of the Stars: The Abh tend to live almost exclusively on space stations, only visiting planetary surfaces when its absolutely necessary.In the first Gaiden prequel series, it is even revealed that the Empire has constructed a huge artificial resort satellite which orbits a gas giant. For example, the two largest space fortresses featured, Iserlohn Fortress and Geiersburg Fortress, were built by the Empire. In Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Galactic Empire has a penchant of constructing large space stations.The main cast of Planetes operate out of a space station in low-Earth orbit.GaoGaiGar has the Gutsy Galaxy Guard (3G) Orbit Base used during the second half of the show after the 31 Machine Primevals destroyed their Underwater Base. ![]() The After Colony timeline ( Mobile Suit Gundam Wing) uses the Stanford Torus design instead, while most colonies seen in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED have an hourglass shape. ![]() The designs are lifted almost verbatim from O'Neill's The High Frontier, which was new when the first Gundam series was in development. ![]() Very large space-stations are integral to the background of the anime universe(s).Don't drop it! The problem of gas exchange and food production is often solved by incorporating a closed ecosystem and green plants onboard, sometimes in dirt, sometimes hydroponics, sometimes algae aquaculture. If sufficiently large to support a sizable permanent population, a space-station may be referred to as an "orbital habitat" or "space colony". Many have adopted a wheel design for a centrifuge-based system of gravity note This type of space station is sometimes referred to as von Braun wheel or "bublik city" (unless Artificial Gravity is employed), but this is not obligatory. Space stations in fiction have a tendency to be very large, sometimes housing an entire city. The list for the interested can be seen below. These are all much smaller than what one is used to in sci-fi shows. Real-world space stations have existed since 1971 (Salyut 1) and four of them - the International Space Station, Tiangong-2 and Genesis I & II (both unmanned) - are currently in orbit. It also allows for the construction of a standing studio set and avoids expensive location shoots. Unlike the Cool Starship, the Space Station is usually fixed in orbit around a planet or at a particular point in space. An artificial structure in space, where people live and work.
